Discussion: The Freedom Caucus And Donald Trump, A Trust Fall

Discussion for article #247587

"I don't really have a grasp yet on his core values and since he is leading our delegate count, I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that maybe I just have more to learn about A.) whether he has core values and B.) what they are, but I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Does that mean I am comfortable with him? Not quite yet," 

whether he has core values…

Wow. She hit the nail on the head.

So the “Freedom Caucus” is puzzled on how to handle Trump?

I suspect, given their intellectual prowess, that they would be puzzled on how to handle a slinky.

“A lot of us are really nervous. We feel Obama’s a tyrant.”

Of course you feel that way. And do you know why you feel that way? Because you are a fucking lunatic who should be institutionalized.

Tyrants routinely jail any effective opponents. None of the Freedom Caucus members are in jail. A. Obama is not a tyrant. B. All the members of the Freedom Caucus are ineffective clowns. Or C. Both A and B.

They also feel that way simply because Obama is black. And far, far smarter than they are.

Precisely. Every pejorative term they throw at Obama is a euphemism for what they really want to call him in public (and do call him that privately).

And the dilemma for the “Freedom” caucus is precisely that Trump DOES call people names they only use in private. Unmasking the “Freedom” caucus. The reality is that the “Freedom” caucus BUILT. THIS. and now they don’t know what to do about it. I love it!

That these assholes have convinced themselves President Obama is a “tyrant” is proof these idiots are the problem. This exact brand of dumbfuckery fuels the legions who are now flirting with real proto-fascists and animates criminals like the Bundy’s.

We have met the enemy and the inappropriately self-named “Freedom Caucus” and the moronic world-view they espouse is its name.

These hypocrites will fall in line and gladly support P.T. Trump. Bet the rent.

It is a rare opportunity to watch these morally-challenged weasels wrestling aloud with how to justify the sell-out that is surely coming. They will all fall in line and not only support Trump, but trumpet how he embodies conservative values and is just the guy to rectify the disaster that has been Obama (like the rising, employment, the stock market recover, the winding down of unwinnable wars etc.). I am torn between amusement and utter disgust.

What’s terrifying about this is that it really sounds as if they believe their own bullsh*t. And their problem with Trump is really that he’s pre-empted the wackaloon space. Who is going to vote for “constitutionalism” and repealing the ACA yet again when they can vote for punching people instead?
