You ought to know Sen. Johnson the Trumpster won’t take this slight of not praising his orange name lightly. You think your WI badgers are aggressive they have nothing on the shitgibbon when they feel slighted.

Oh I get it, “the love that dares to speak its name” thing. Wasn’t aware the extent of Johnson’s feelings for Donnie.

I thought Johnson married into the plastics business. He didn’t build it.

How can Johnson ever protect us from the cruel, crooked, drug sniveling Democrats when he can’t even say the name of the opposition to the cruel, crooked, lyng, drug sniveling Democrat in question? I know it takes saying the name of who you oppose before you can be taken seriously about opposing someone. So, it surely must be taken seriously that you have to find the courage, and resistance to vomiting, to say the name D…T…p. Oh, dammit, I gotta go kneel at the toilet!

As we already know from Ron Johnson’s lobbying on behalf of the Catholic Church and its right to shield predatory priests against suffering the consequences of their actions he has the utmost tenderness and regard for pedophiles.

It’s a very nice quote.
But Lincoln did NOT say it:

“To sin by silence, when they should protest, makes cowards of men.”
This was credited to Lincoln by Douglas MacArthur in a 1950 speech after his release as commander of the United Nations forces in Korea. It is actually a line from a poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

At least there is that to be said for Trump, for establishment Republicans he rapidly devolves to the one who cannot be named, but even with this ridiculous hair of his, he’s still slightly better looking than Voldemort.

Another shade in Republicans’ 50 Shades of Supporting Trump:

“I can’t defend the indefensible and refuse to endorse Republican nominee Donald Trump, but intend to vote for that guy, whoever, our party nominated.”

Johnson, who built a plastics manufacturing company in Wisconsin before being elected to the Senate six years ago, said his private business background makes him more qualified to know what policies will work to create jobs and spur economic development.

Totally explaining Johnson’s prominent role in the GOP obstructionist Senate, which has drafted not a single solitary jobs bill during his six years as the dumbest sitting Senator.

This is the SAME SHIT that Ayotte does, and they let her get away with it too:

“I support the nominee.”

“You mean Donald Trump?”

“I support the nominee.”

“What’s the nominee’s name?”

“I support the nominee.”

“Does your nominee even have a name? Do you know what your nominee’s name is?”

“…”, “I support the nominee.”
