Problem is, that’s how they find their candidates.
Trump is closest to the film/movie, which would be called The Siberian Candidate, but the rest of them are cloned, force fed ideology, decanted into their think tanks, given wingnut welfare, then run. They’re more like the Stepford Wives.
I reside a few blocks away from her office. It’s open and doing the work a day stuff of constituent services. She already got the post office to fix a mail delivery issue in the Morris Park neighborhood as well as pushed the MTA to paint under the 7 train. All while Huckabee is in his bible trying to square Leviticus and support for his god Trump.
“Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee — and father of the White House press secretary — was being interviewed when the comments were made and responded saying he’s heard tell of “allegations” that Ocasio-Cortez was “recruited and prepared” by some outside entity to run and defeat former Rep. Joe Crowley.”
“Well there very well could be, I know there have been some allegations that she was almost like the Manchurian Candidate, recruited, prepared, you know, I don’t know, but the point is she got her voters out,” Huckabee responded"
Huckabee then added, “My daughter writes all her own material. You can tell by how angry, bitchy, and useless it all is. I’m a proud father! But don’t ask about the dog.”
The bottom line? Republican can’t deal with the growing failures of their president and their inadequately informed defenders in the media.
That Republicans have a president obsessively attacking a senator who’s been dead for several months is a hair on fire moment they are unable to address. They know they have a problem as Trump increasingly becomes unhinged.
The smartest Republicans in the party are already distancing themselves from Trump and the clowns at Fox. And Trump’s strongest defender, McConnell, merely looks befuddled and inadequate,.
“Well there very well could be, I know there have been some allegations that she was almost like the Manchurian Candidate, recruited, prepared, you know, I don’t know, but the point is she got her voters out,” Huckabee responded. …
Kilmeade simply can’t believe a young ‘working class’ woman could possibly be bright enough to think of any of that herself… And the whisper campaign ramps up… “I heard allegations… Manchurian Candidate…”
Wow. That’s going off the deep end. They should be thrilled that someone passionate and capable has chosen public service.
But, partisanship and ideology have taken the reins. I wonder if it’ll be possible to save the GOP… at this point, I’m thinking it’s probably a lost cause. The vitriol, fear and dishonesty has reached a level I think might not be salvageable…
