âI think itâs important to remind people that weâre going through an anomaly right now as it relates to much of the standard Republican focus thatâs been around for a long time,â he continued.
Thatâs a lot of BS. Trump is the logical outcome of the direction the GOP has been steering since, oh, Nixon. The only hope for this country is the complete implosion of the Republican party and Trump may have been the final straw.
Oh, get away and stay away, you are part of the problem.
I want to get away and think about it for awhile. Because on the one hand, he is a raving delusional sociopath criminal, but on the other hand he made me and my wife rich in the Tax Bill where us GOP Budget Hawks created a permanent deficit our great grand children will still be dealing with.
He, Flake, and Ryan all have the acrid smell of someone considering a run at the GOP nomination in 2020.
Yuck.
âJust like Trump policy-wise but with occasional ineffectual rodent-like squeaks meant to resemble dissentâ doesnât really have the sort of ring to it that I associate with successful Presidential campaign.
He tried. He almost managed to form the words of the Grand Overarching Understatement that characterizes these times: This Is Not Normal. But heâs smart enough to see that opposing Trump wonât work within the party. And heâs 66. So yeah, what to do, Bob? You wouldnât be a shoo-in if times were normal. Maybe you should just go away and stay away.
With those three and Donnie Two-Scoops, GOP primary voters will be faced with a serious choice:
##Do you want Trumpism with a side of Trump, or would you prefer your Trumpism with this nice garnish?
After Corkerâs dicking around the UAW-VW vote in TN, no sane working stiff should give him the time of day.
Where are you going to âget away,â Senator?
I hear Russiaâs nice this time of year.
It could also be said âCorker wonât say Trump should not be primaried.â
To primary Trump, or not that is the question.
For who would bear the Whips and Scorns of time,
The Oppressorâs wrong, the proud manâs Contumely,
The pangs of despised Love, the Lawâs delay,
The insolence of Office, and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
Of course he SHOULD be primaried. The question is WHETHER he can be primaried.
First the only sane respectable Republican to run in 2016 was Kasich, and he basically only won his own state. The rest of the sorry lot were a bunch of grifters, wackos, and clowns.
So first, is there anyone capable of primarying Trump who would be better, from a party establishment perspective? Are they gonna get excited over Mitt 2.0?
Second, could this hypothetical sane, non-corrupt (oops, there goes Mitt) altenative overcome the activated enthusiasm of white nationalists, and the unopposed interference of Russian psyops?
The ideal outcome would be for Trump to get primaried by the sanest, most respectable Republican they can dig up, then have that Republican get stomped by the Democrat to inform the GOP, establishment and not, that they will be punished most harshly for their sins.
So many layers to this one
Yeah - âWant to get away and thinkâ get away so he is further from ground zero âŚ
get away and think - so he buys some time (- and maybe a bunch of dominoes fall ⌠)
should be primaried? to what end? realistically - as of this exact moment, right now - a practical, analytical Republican would say that anybody of any significant standing in the Republican party who stands up and says âIâm going to challenge Trump in the primariesâ is setting off on a Don Quixote adventure - odds are that it becomes a martyrâs mission at best -
However - if somebody is reading the tea leaves, and is convinced that the Mueller investigation is going to shortly slice open an artery in the Trump political body - and do so in an irreparable way - and in a way that causes Pence to also be rendered damaged beyond repair - then they should be making plans .
Technically this might end up as âTrumpâ being âprimaredâ - but really it would be that somebody just jumped into the contest once they see that Trumpâs ship had sunk.
âThe Establishment Republicans will no longer be of any concern to us. Iâve just received word that the Leader has dissolved the East Coast permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republicans have been swept away.â
Corker is a real âProfile in Courageâ, huh?
Conservatism is a DISEASE. Isnât that plain by now?
Brave, brave Sir Robert! He bravely ran awayâŚ
Still trying to keep that lobby job
mmmmmm
Waiting for the invite to Mar A Lago.
need some loving.
trump will provide.
Short answer, yes.
If a politician refuses to answer a question declaratively, and the question is supposed to invoke a reliably partisan answer, the politician is thinking the non-partisan answer and doesnât want to say it.
Ask any Tea Party knob, and youâll get a resounding âNo, mein Fuhrer MuschiGreifer! Nein!â
"So, is it important for someone to get there and at least remind people in their Republican primary what Republicans generally speaking have been about for generations?â
