Poor Rinced Prius… having to defend the GOP from the Trump Tsunami
Nice. The RNC Chair dude gets a national audience and passes the time with gossip.
Trump has railed against the RNC, saying that nomination process is “rigged” and unfair. Priebus called Trump’s words “hyperbole.”
Hyperbole refers to a statement that contains inherent truth, but is exaggerated. So Priebus is unintentionally giving some credence to Trump?
Because otherwise, he should have called it bullsh*t, outlandish, and untrue.
Reince Priebus is simply parroting Megyn Kelly’s claim during her vendetta with Donald Trump.
Reince Priebus inherited a Republican party that was healthy and vibrant from Michael Steele. By the sheer dint of his incompetence and corruptness, Reince has managed to make a mess on an unimaginable scale.
Reince is a strange little guy, isn’t he.
Trump has threatened violence at the GOP Convention if he does not get his way. This implies a number of disastrous scenarios which could affect people, including those charged with expediting the Nominating process.
In any other civilized country (especially a G-8 country), this would be a disqualifier.
Because the Fourth Estate in the U.S. is the $$$$$$$$$$$ Estate, this not only will not happen but the following will take place:
-
No pushback whatsover from the MSM
-
A gain in Trump’s support among those so inclined
-
A visible reaction of fear from the GOP (Trump’s ultimate goal)
-
Real pain, in the form of reactions from African Americans and Latinos, especially children
-
Real discord and uncertainty from people in responsible positions in foreign lands
-
More $$$$$$$$$$ for the MSM
-
More motivation for Trump to push the envelope further
Poor lil’ Rinsed Pubis’! " Listen to me. And you can take this to the bank! I want this to be very clear…"
Sorry Rinse, when you’re explaining, you’re losing…not to mention you look like an total idiot. Can’t wait till they fire your ass after this election and give you a desk job somewhere off the beaten path. My guess is that the Pukes have just about had it with you. The guy has proven he can’t run a two-car parade.
I’m so grateful to the universe for letting me be alive to see the GOP go up in flames. I watched the Watergate hearings and was so proud of our nation’s ability to do the right thing (bi-partisan impeachment of Nixon). But, today the GOP is a rotten, soulless cadre of thugs and crooks worse than Nixon’s band of bad guys. The GOP is long overdue for this collapse. It’s happened from within, too, which makes it even more satisfying. The mills of the gods grind slowly, but exceedingly fine.
He may not be “at odds” but he sure is “odd.”
Odd that the RNC did much better under Michael Steele but they fired him and brought in this rube…and what a colossal idiot this nitwit is…
Except in Congress, when it comes to gun control, global warming, Supreme Court nominations…
Thank you for this observation. I watched them too, but somehow it hadn’t quite registered with me until I saw your comment, what a contrast there is between the GOP leaderships’s courageous determination to do the right thing then, no matter how unpleasant the task, and the present GOP which seems to embrace the vile with open arms, at least until the stench begins to make them vomit, upon which they blame the mess on President Obama, or Secretary Clinton, rather than recognizing that it is the logical consequence of a gradual and deliberate slide downhill.
The edge of the cliff cannot come too soon.
Great post.
With the Fourth Estate as it was back then, it was more difficult to continue the derp in 1973-74.
With Chuck Todd, Andrea Mitchell, George Stephanopoulos, Wolf Blizer (and worse) there is absolutely no realistic present-day exposure to the GOP for what they do. Add in Talk Radio, FOX, Drudge, Beck and 1,000 other forces of Reactionary Thought (these people are Reactionaries, NOT “Conservatives”). It is conceivable that what could happen will be analogous to something that I saw in a film some years ago.
The film featured an ocean vessel which looked to be about the nastiest craft in the ocean. It rolled and creaked along (to the horror of the people watching it from another vessel). All of a sudden, the derpy ocean craft lurched, heaved, sighed and simply sank into the ocean.
A veritable repository of filth.
The political version of the doomed ship is the GOP. Todd, Mitchell, Stephanopoulos, Blitzer, etc. will nurse it along indefinitely, no matter what (were they to do otherwise would result in some pink slips and a drastic reduction in perks).
It seems that ocean vessels (subject to the exigencies of the sea) are more vulnerable than well-connected entities like The Republican Party.
What a vivid and apt image!!
Spot on.
From HuffPo
[Trump said his supporters are becoming increasingly angry with states such as Wyoming and Colorado.
“They’re going nuts out there; they’re angry,” Trump said in Syracuse. “The bosses took away their vote, and I wasn’t going to send big teams of people three, four months ago, have them out there.”]
“They’re going nuts” Meaning what? This is meant to intimidate. The MSM made this man. Now we all have to deal with him. There are no words in my English vocabulary to describe the loathing I feel for the MSM. Not only because they made Trump.
But because right now, the MSM are making money off of him with this very public threat to people, who, unlike the movies, are not used to real threats for doing their job. Can anyone tell me that this kind of thing happened in 2012? 2008? 2004? 2000? 1996?, 1992?, 1988? 1984?
In the 20th Century?
Worse than that.
The bulk of the delegates involved are volunteers, doing this out of a sense of civic duty.
It would make sense to me if a lot of them, emulating so many of the politicians they associate with, decided to bail out and abandon the opportunity, tempting though it might be, to serve as sacrificial lambs to Mr. Trump and his supporters’ extraordinary sense of entitlement, by simply not showing up for the convention.
What if the GOP sponsored a war and no one came?
