Discussion: The Embarrassment-Averse President Goes All Out To Ensure Smooth Convention

They fear a repeat of Never Trumper protests, or headline-grabbing speeches like Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) in 2016, when he refused to endorse Trump and instead told voters to “vote your conscience.”

Never fear. GOPers have no conscience. That’s been sucked dry by the Machine.

Here’s hoping all this planning will come to naught due to Mueller!!!

tRump’s running? They’re going full speed ahead as if they have a viable, non-criminal candidate. Lots of money to waste apparently.

“Embarrassment averse” is a curious phrase, especially as a descriptor of DJT.

He seems to be almost alone in seeking embarrassment and rolling in it the way a Labrador Retriever wallows in the carcass of a rotting possum.

Well then they have to study Nixon’s 72 loverfest. That was a real exercise in adoration.

Come again ?

No need to read anything. Just dig up Riefenstahl from her grave and bring her to the convention. Not a far cry from Triumph des Willens to Triumph von einer Million LĂĽgen.

I think they should be working on him not being an embarrassment at the State of the Union address.

I wasn’t planning to watch it anyway.

Yeah, that stuck out to me, too – I doubt Individual-1 has it in him to be “embarassed”. He makes an ass of himself too often to be “embarassment-averse”… He is a colossal embarassment.

I think what was meant was “criticism-averse” – they want to ensure that nobody gets a chance to say anything negative. He’ll be the ultimate “Bubble Boy”.

Interesting that the adminstration is studying and preparing for the convention and not the actual running good the country. It is almost like optics and pagentry are more important to them than results.

“Unified and smooth” when managed by Trumpers? HUH??? They deal in chaos!!

That’s what I was thinking, republicans better have a well laid out contingency plan.

Snarking aside, it’s very hard to imagine a half-normal convention being held. There’s going to be so much evidence of his criminality out there that it’ll be a huge exercise in obvious denial.

[/quote]My guess is that this is only diversionary tactics as the walls are closely in on Spankee (“squirrel! squirrel!”)

There’s no interest in running the country. There never actually has been, at least on Spankee’s side. Spankee has only been interested in, as you so rightly put it, “optics and pagentry.” Everything else is real work, for which he has an abhorrence.

If he’s averse to being embarassed you’d think he’d look to his own behavior. How does being a nationsl embarassment suit you, eh Donald?
