Blunt Suggests Trump Should Focus On Midterms Rather Than Pushing Big Lie | Talking Points Memo

Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) on Sunday jabbed former President Trump for continuing to push the big lie of a stolen election rather than focus on helping Republicans win more elections in the midterms, a day after Trump espoused more election fraud falsehoods during a North Carolina GOP convention.

Roy Blunt is a witless tool

And that’s the nicest thing I can say about him.

For fuck’s sake, Blunt. Haven’t you figured out by now that policy means nothing to the motherfucker and the only thing that matters to him is him? You fucking idiot.

This is what we need more of on Meet the Press, opinions from Republicans.

Yeah, I’m not sure if Blunt has figured this out yet but, Trump cares about only one person: Donald Trump. If Trump can’t have what he wants (his Presidency back) then he’s perfectly happy to burn everything down, including the Republican Party. In fact, Trump is especially happy to destroy the Republican Party since he sees them as traitors.

I wonder if Republicans actually know that Trump is currently their worst enemy.

Blunt is in danger of being thrown out of the GQP!! That is heresy and blasphemy and cannot be allowed to stand.

But he is not wrong.

Why isn’t he helping us for the midterms? Because you knew he was a scorpion when you picked him up and carried him next to your heart for over four years.

It looks like most of them don’t have the balls to do what’s in the best interest of their party.
Hell, they didn’t even have the balls to empower a 1/6 commission and enable someone else to do their dirty work.
So, now they’ve just gotta wait on the course of events.
Can’t say I sympathize, even if they are twisting slowly in the wind. It seems just enough to me.

They aren’t a party.

They’re a cult of personality disorder.

“You know, I really can’t analyze whether he believes it or not. I’m sure he believes that in a fair election he couldn’t have possibly lost,” Blunt said.

Blunt is, of course, a cringing coward. But this statement is actually true.

Because the former guy defines “fair” as “good for meeee”. That’s all that counts. It’s part of his disease.

Trump sounds like a broken record:

“We are witnessing the greatest election fraud in the history of the country, in my opinion in the history of any democracy… That’s why people justifiably feel deceived and they are responding, they must not be shut up,” he said in the remarks, which were broadcast live…

Oops… That’s from a new Reuters story about Bibi Netanyahu. Are they sharing scripts?

Why do you think he is retiring? Getting out while the money is good.

Winning the midterms doesn’t help Trump, why would he do that?

Blunt: “He[Trump] could be incredibly helpful in 2022 if he gets focused on 2022 and the differences in the two political parties.”

But Trump is focused on the differences between the two political parties. Trump’s party believes conspiracy theories while the Democrats live in the real world.

Well, check out Josh Marshall’s speculation on the rising right wing violence in Israel, apparently whipped up by, and not discouraged in any way, by Our Boy Bibi. (We paid for him, so he’s ours.)
