Discussion: Indiana Senate Candidate's Own Staff Couldn't Stand Him

But I do hope he’ll get the GOP nomination.

Sure you did.

Rokita has a well-earned reputation as an Asshole Deluxe.

It’s not rumors, and it’s not really related to his soon-to-fail Senate bid. There are too many reports of his bad behavior and his hateful attitude for you to be right and everyone else wrong.

But thanks for playing.
Unfortunately, there are no parting gifts for you.

His choice of political party and come to think of it his NAME should be dead giveaways. I never met a ‘Todd’ yet who wasn’t a Category Five asshole.

Correction: This guy can’t help it: Therefore, he’s just a Category One. Besides, I’m too busy laughing at those Highwaters.

“But thanks for playing.”

That is so clever. Did you just come up with that? Do you mind if I use it? Its such a fresh and original way to dismiss someone out of hand. You must have felt very proud when you typed that.

I believe you know exactly where to hove your condescending bullshit attitude, dear.

Because “thanks for playing” is not condescending at all.

Just another fatassed entitled GOP sociopathic baby.

It sounds like he works very hard a micromanaging every little detail of everyone else’s job. I wonder how he ever finds to do his own.

I worked for a guy like this once for ten terrible months. Even when you did something to his satisfaction he NEVER complimented you on doing a good job. You know. The kind of guy you wouldn’t piss on if his heart was on fire.

The most emotional and primitive person in the room commands the most attention…

Wait, I thought the traditional cure for a raging bull was castration. And we all know how Republican’ts claim to feel about tradition. So somebody please send Joni Ernst over to his office…

forcing a staffer to leave a meeting to clean his car and scrub its carpets because a volunteer with B.O. problems had been in the car the night before

Given the fact that projection is the go-to coping skill for conservatives, I think I know where that odor is coming from, Congressman.

You know, this kind of behavior is actually a plus in a Republican primary. The mean, pinch-eyed bastards who turn out for those are hot for the guy who is the worst prick. You know, the kind of people who buy t-shirts that read “Fuck Your Feelings”?

Couldn’t stand him as Sec. of State. I hope his butt gets handed to him on a platter in the primary. Condolences per your representative. I have the carpetbagger Congressman who avoids this part of his district like the plague.

These sorts of personality traits are much more common in federal office holders than most people think. The difference between Rokita and everyone else is you have to be a royal asshole with no redeeming qualities to get staff to dish on what an asshole you are.

An acquaintance of mine used to be chief of staff for a Democratic US Senator. Said Senator is very popular with a great public image – in stark contrast with the horrible personal traits they exhibit in private. With staff, this Senator is temperamental and abusive and average staff tenure is about 18 months. I still vote for this person when the time comes but it always leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Don’t underestimate the effect of 20 years of nasty demeanor via Fox News and Talk Right Radio building a nasty entitled subculture, combined with the ego stroking by underlings for years as Sec of State, who at times became a national media darling due to his quickness to take up Far Right state cases challenging Obama. Those influences can be pretty powerful and corrupting influences a pols personality.

“Early polls have found a tight race between Rokita and Messer.”

“Hmmmm. Honey, which asshole do we want representing us?”
“You mean which ‘Republican’, don’t you?”
“Is there a difference?”
