BlueBlazer posted:Background checks please. I do not want impinge on the holy sanctity of the right to bear arms, just make sure a process is in place during the acquisition of those arms. You have said arms, go ahead and bear away. Not like they can be really taken away without your permission anyway. You have a gun. You'll shoot me. Yeah, but that's been a favorable position for years and the GOP has made no movement on it. The "terrorists with guns" thing is flashy and timely and plays against the GOP's whole "liberals are soft on terror" narrative which makes it politically viable in a way a super popular thing like universal background checks bizarrely isn't. Politics are ugly and hosed up.

Dexo posted:We are gonna end up with Ted Cruz aren't we. He got more primary votes than any other Republican in history, probably not a good idea to undermine the will of the voters like that. You see how superdelegates pissed off so many people this cycle and those only appear to undermine the will of the voters.

lol wait Cruz's name has a filter on it. is that new?Trabisnikof posted:What can they do? Ratfucking Trump (now) elects Clinton. Clinton is winning no matter what. Like full stop, barring some unforeseen poo poo happening. And if that unforeseen poo poo happens any republican is going to do well. At least Cruz or Kasich, doesn't force every single GOP elected official, and politician to constantly answer questions with no good answer about what their thoughts are on Trump's latest gently caress up.

STAC Goat posted:A bunch of Republicans straight up thought Romney was going to kill Obama based on them. It was nuts. I knew people who were totally shell shocked the next day and basically going "wait... were the polls right?" Supposedly Romney himself was blindsided. It cannot be repeated enough: Romney was so sure that he was going to win despite all evidence to the contrary that he didn't write a concession speech, hired a massive barge in Boston Harbor with fireworks that never went off, and didn't make plans to get home after the rally because he thought the Secret Service would be driving him.

Electric Bugaloo posted:
I think it is mostly its because Donald Trump doesn't beg people for money, especially not money that should already be his by dint of Donald Trump being the official leader of the GOP. Trump feels that he should be given the money by default and someone else should handle all the begging/pleading for money. Trump is an addict on a binge and all he cares about doing is getting more of his drug (narcissistic Supply) and he simply is not going to waste his time with any task that is not involved in obtaining more Supply. Pleading for money that he feels he is already entitled too is pretty much the opposite of basking in adulation, so like a 3 year old Trump is simply just not going to cooperate.

Full Battle Rattle posted:I wish those people could have a taste, just one day of the 'revolution', just to see what it's like when the power goes out and it's not coming back on, going out for patrol to come back to find your house a drone-struck crater, or having most of your friends muster for duty and get wiped out by a different, bigger drone strike. An insurgency has the ability to work, but it's an ugly business, it's not fun, and it can be years, sometimes over a decade, of near constant low-intensity fighting. You have to be able and willing to endure some heavy losses, and those losses are going to be people you know intimately from your community. I'd also like to see what they'd do about logistics after the local Wal-Mart doesn't get restocked because it's now in an active war-zone. Well, I mean, if you happen to feel like moving to the Appalachians it might work out. You probably can't both be a guerilla and have a cattle ranch, though.

Xae posted:Not Ratfucking costs how many Senators, Congressmen, Governors and State Reps their jobs? I don't think its clear at this point, honestly, what's the worst option for GOPe officials. As soon as they endorse/support/don't condemn Trump, their D opponents start running and fundraising on that and polling comes out to demonstrate that "x voters are 50% less likely to vote for you if you endorse Trump" and whether that's true or not, polls scare campaign staffs. So the devil we know is extremely bad for them. It may not matter though, remember we all thought that eventually the GOP establishment would deign to bestir itself, lazily roll over and crush Trump. That didn't happen and it exposed the deep rifts in the GOP. A successful campaign to replace Trump would take broad agreement on a strategy, candidate, organization, patronage and so on, and I don't think the GOP is in a position to do so.

Xae posted:Not Ratfucking costs how many Senators, Congressmen, Governors and State Reps their jobs? And ratfucking him wouldn't do worse? This will still be a base election year even without Trump. But if you ratfuck Trump, you turn off huge swaths of the base. Not just the Trump supporters, but the other Republicans turned off by the party leaders overruling the popular vote. They're just going to run on the "I stood up to Obama and I can stand up to Trump when he's wrong," and try to mitigate their losses.
