It's cool that literally no GOP surrogates can deny what she said in her speech today because they all said the same poo poo during the primary. Mozi posted:The thing is... I saw a little bit of his Veterans press conference recently and I know calling the end of his campaign is a losing game so far but it seemed like the whole edifice was starting to come apart a bit. He truly is in over his head and has no idea of how to conduct a presidential (not primary) campaign. There's a segment of voters who will stick with him even stronger the more he's attacked but his uncontrollable aggressiveness and inability to keep himself from personally insulting people is going to become more and more of a problem. Yeah the other day I wondered if he keeps this up, if he'll even make it to the convention.

BI NOW GAY LATER posted:Like they've learned absolutely nothing from losing in 2008 and 2012, and even less from their failure to do anything as a result of appeasing idiot in their party. And the best part is that as horrible as they've been with Hispanic and African American outreach, after Hillary is elected republicans will turn all that vitriol towards women and  at pissing off over 1/2 of the electorate.

I think the calculus might be that it would be even more of a liability if they didn't endorse him, since a disastrous campaign followed by humiliating electoral defeat could be spun by the frothing masses as being the fault of the GOPe who didn't endorse him. "He would have kicked Hilary's rear end if Ryan had endorsed and supported him instead of undermining him!" That seems like a good way to kill your career in Republican politics faster than being the speaker of the house presiding over the raiders of the tortilla coast.

I loving love the part of Hillary's speech where she lists off all the world leaders Trump has feuded with, and ends with the most deadpan "and the Pope." to cap it.

There's only one reason why the Founding Fathers put the Second Amendment…If the federal government were to follow the path of all other governments, at some point it will turn to tyranny against the people. And at that point, when it stops to uphold and abide by the Constitution—and we're talking about the Supreme Court, Congress, and the executive branch, all three are way off away from the Constitution right now—the people have the right to assemble, bear arms, go to Washington, DC, or wherever necessary, and go into military battle against the government and replace those in government with individuals that will uphold the Constitution. The Constitution should remain, but the people that are abusing it should be, the polite word is, eliminated. The harsh word is killed. And they're killed by American citizens with weapons. And if people have tanks, assault weapons, if they have bombs—they need to have the weaponry necessary to be able to overthrow the federal government.
