next one up will likely be Scalise.

I don’t disagree that Bush is in over his head, but to think that Trump is qualified to be President stretches the definition of ironic to its breaking point.

Laura doesn’t seem to understand that the GOP “establishment” is no longer calling the shots.

Amazing,isn’t it? The guy hasn’t even been elected, and they are already calling for him to be ousted.

Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham said Thursday night that the Republican establishment should “pull the plug” on House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) bid to become House speaker.

Had to check…

Next ‘batter’ up is Scalise. After that house caucus is going to the chairman’s list (while hoping those guys don’t have any warts.)

Once again, while Boehner’s leaving is important, this possible ‘explosion’ is now about guys who didn’t want to be the guy who replaced John Boehner.

Oh well…

Enough with political correctness, Ingraham! McCarthy told the truth. Stop denying him his First Amendment rights!

McCarthy told the truth, but he also ‘talked out of turn’ in regards to that subject. Again the GOP strangely thinks that this subject is a winning hand. Why?

Only they have that answer…

The word “putrid” always seems to come to mind for me when she’s mentioned.

It really is kind of pathetic that a major national party in this country still relies on having all their decisions made for them by unelected conservative talk radio hosts. That’s what you call a weak party apparatus. Is it any wonder they don’t know how to govern or legislate? Look who they bother to listen to.

Why? Because it puts Democrats responding on the defensive. Its a twist on the old story…“Accuse your opponent of sleeping with a pig, and let him spend the next few cycles defending himself”. Doesn’t matter if its not true. And the fact that all Americans are against having sex with farm animals actually helps…because the association between your opponent and having sex with farm animals becomes forged in the voters mind. The more he says he did not sleep with a pig, the more the voter hears “candidate x…screwing pigs”.

Here we have “Hillary did illegal things on email and is hiding something”. No matter how many times she gets out there saying “I did nothing illegal”, the voter hears “Hillary…illegal”. Doesn’t matter that voters don’t care about emails, in fact that works to the GOP favor. “Hillary…emails” becomes forged in their minds.

Hilarious. McCarthy considered unqualified because he told the truth in a weak moment. I suppose Republicans prefer strong liars, but we knew that. (Gingrich, Cheney, Boehner, Cantor, Trump, Fiorina, O’Reilly, et alia)

sorry, I don’t agree with that. Hillary can now change the topic and claim she is the victim of a vast right-wing conspiracy, That has the additional virtue of being true and McCarthy has provided the proof.

Maddow had a clip of McCarthy trying to burnish his non-existent credentials and act like a grownup a few days ago. The guy is either really bidding to become heir to Norm Crosby, or he is brain-damaged.

Now, being brain-damaged would be entirely appropriate as the most powerful Republican in the country, but simultaneously extremely dangerous when two heartbeats away from the Presidency.

Do toy pigs count? (s)

Then that’s on them (DNC). The proper answer would be to drag every piece of info out there and make it into what it is: a privacy issue. Right now the current b-n-m over this is about how Russian Intelligence tried to bug the server. Before that it was the Petraeus thread. That latter goes nowhere, because he got probation (and Broadwell isn’t likely to do jail time). As to the Russian intelligence matter, its not even known if any of Clinton’s staff hit those attachments.

Again hide nothing. If that makes her the martyr in the end, that’s on the GOP committees. However that defensive stance is something that needs to be amended.

At last check, guys like Hickenlooper are very poor spokesmen.

Thats right Laura… to be house leader you have to be a liar. The GOP is scared shitless b/c they fear that this could be a REAL branding problem when voters consider the time and taxpayer money used & wasted. I sure hope HRC reminds folks about this all the way to 11/16…
