Allowing these guys to talk on national television is definitely hurting the party.

Let me check with Horton to see if he hears Who is out there.

ā€œI think the Republican Party is becoming the loser here. We’ve got talented candidates.ā€
STOP. Right there. NO You DO NOT have ā€œtalented candidatesā€ you have a sorry bunch of bloviating morons racing to the bottom of the electoral gene pool to try to get Cletus-McDumbFuck to vote ā€œ'fer 'im 'cause he hates on 'te Lib’rulsā€.
It is self-defeating nonsense and you know it, but you are trapped by your own creation: The Tea Party.
Enjoy your descent into irrelevance.

No, Lindsey, it’s you people who are ā€œhurting the Party.ā€

One thing for sure – ā€œmore debatesā€ is not necessarily a good thing. Crap is crap, no matter now many.

I think the Republican Party is becoming the loser here…

Wow I never thought Lindsey would say something I so heartily agree with. Carry on my brother!

And holy shit he’s blaming the RNC and not liberal media?!?! Man he’s going to get hammered by all the conservative wing nuts that write semiliterate and occasionally not all capital complaints in the comments sections of news reports.

While it is outright painful for me to agree with Lindsey, I have to say he is correct here. The RNC does seem to do worse when they try to manage things. Just rent an auditorium and let the ā€œcandidatesā€ (contestants?) set up podia and rant as long as they like. Last one standing is the nominee.

OMG, Lindsey’s become a flaming sterno-soaked cottonball…

I disagree.

As I posted in an earlier thread ("Priebus: the new white meat.), there’s a few things worth noting here under context, including:

  1. Priebus came to the RNC chair straight out of the Wisconsin Scott Walker mob (ā€˜A Division of the Tea Party’), and Walker’s stock has taken a beating this year.

  2. Despite the impression left from the Freedumpsters’ supposed success in degaveling Boehner, the craziest hard inner core of the Freedumpster Caucus actually LOST half a dozen seats in the 2014 Midterms.

  3. Despite the bullcrap about the House Republican Caucus leadership having ā€œtroubleā€ getting 30 R votes for raising the debt ceiling & passing a C.R. for into December, it was actually not difficult in the least to count around 90 House GOPers who had both clear logistical &/or strategic reasons to vote ā€˜for’ AND recognize they’re not in any serious jeopardy of being primaried by TeaPers.

  4. There’s sort of a limited-burn purgelet ongoing in the disordered House Majority caucus (There’ve been signs of it since no later than Spring 2014.). The briefly OMG ā€œ21 Demandsā€ from the Freedumpsters were issued more from desperation & the instinct to survive than out of bravado. And Ryan’s being handed the Speaker’s gavel is part of that purgelet.

Put it this way: the Freedumpsters who are, or should be, feeling most vulnerable right now, are those in closest alliance (or in thrall) with) Ted Cruz. I mean, I’m not exactly making some big reveal here in pointing out there’s a big civil war ongoing in the GOP.

Um, I agree with a lot of that, but…what does that have to do with Graham being a gnat? :smiley:

I could be wrong but I think the first GOP debate was Three(3) hours,The Democratic debate was a civil encounter.Last nights debate was Two(2) hours and demands by the candidates so IMO it’s no wonder it turned out like it did.

Graham said he would love to bring his great friend and war monger McCain in a heartbeat for president. He especially liked him picking Palin as VP. Those were the good old days.

These dipshits wouldn’t be happy unless all their debates were moderated by Sean Hannity and the dumb one from Fox & Friends. No, the other dumb one.
