That fat gently caress is trying so hard to be Trump.



Jeez. I just realized Trump is the new Gold Standard for Republicans to look up to and will be talked about in awe in 20 years like Reagan is now by them.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

When was the last time an incumbent president was challenged in the primaries by his own party? Is that something the establishment GOP could eyeball if Trump keeps loving up, and/or his healthcare is such a disaster that they see no other way to salvage 2020?

Honestly never even thought about that, probably because of the amount of establishment GOP and their money faucets bending the knee to him.

Republicans fall in line. If you think any of them wants to be regarded as a traitor, I don't know what to say. Look who they managed to drum up to oppose Trump in the election for the type of talent you can expect. David French and Evan McMullen, names only the most deranged of political junkies know today. Also if you win that primary you are almost certain to lose the election because you just tore your party apart and deposed a sitting president in the eyes of his supporters.

People will vote their party regardless of what happens leading up to the election. It isn't about your candidate winning, it's about the other candidate losing.

Republicans still think Trump is good. Unless the economy craters, that will continue. Liberals make a mistake in expecting conservative support of conservative politicians to hinge on policy outcomes. To the average republican voter, policy is irrelevant. What matters is making liberals and the media angry. Thus the endless bathroom bills and miscellaneous small ways of messing with "takers." The only thing strong enough to pierce this entertainment and style driven perspective is politics personally impacting their bottom line. Bush still had overwhelming republican support until the financial crisis.

Back in 2008 a friend changed her middle name on Facebook to Hussein and I thought she'd actually changed her middle name to Hussein because it never occurred to me someone would do that just to show support (I guess) to a dude who was running for president in a country 8000 km away.

It's cool how lots of sites made it so you have to use fb to post comments on their articles and it did nothing to stop the tide of racist/sexist/etc offensive comments.
