"<br /><br />Brilliant and so true. I'm also convinced that there will NOT be large GOP losses in the Senate and House. People may not vote for Trump, but a longtime GOP voter is still going to pull the lever for the senator or congresscritter they've been voting for the last 20 years.

He wasn't even a Republican 8 years ago. He thought Hillary and Obama would be a "dream ticket". To win the Republican nomination, he took on the persona of a Republican super-hero. The party itself never accepted him until the convention (and even then, it was more appearance than reality). <br /><br />The bigger problem is the zombies they created over the last 16 years. Trump supporters are largely those who realize that Republicans don't actually do what they say they will do, but Trump isn't the loser/phony that McCain, Romney, McConnell, Boehner, Ryan and others are. He's the BOSS - the guy who transcends laws, political correctness, tolerance toward "them". For his supporters, the GOP exposed itself as unloyal phonies. The GOP's real problem may be low turnout in future elections. <br /><br />More interesting than how Republicans react to gaffes like the Kahns, Second Ammendment solutions or sexual harrassment, will be their reaction to his willingness to multiply the national debt or befriend Russia. Their whole story falls apart if they continue to support him.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Hillary should not agree to debate him. She should simply say, "I think we've heard enough. The guy will say anything and mean nothing." More importantly, she should set out to prove that Republicans don't stand for any particular principle. We may not all agree on everything, but the GOP arguments are pure intellectual fraud.

This will have real-world repercussions beyond the election, despite whatever narrative the media decides on.<br /><br />Just like the fact that the mainstream media doesn't want to remember that the Tea Party dumped that nice John Boehner last year because Republicans "came to their senses" and chose that nice Paul Ryan to be their leader, the "facts on the ground" didn't change, and now we have Trump.sdhayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354409528975596405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-61080830105247056892016-08-11T23:28:01.528-04:002016-08-11T23:28:01.528-04:00Small self-selected group recently created website...Small self-selected group recently created website and chose close to purrfect Gen Eric R.E.

Now in addition to not having a line they can agree on after Trump's gone, they all hate each other with the passion of losers who blame their narcissistic teammates for their loss (none of them have mirrors).<br /><br />Meanwhile the Trump voters having tasted the freedom to be open racists and nativists aren't going to be predictable any more. But I bet they won't like the de-Trumpification.

That one is on anyone that casts a vote for any GOP member. Thus lets not mix words here the total responsibility on the sad state of the GOP and the disgraceful way the USA looks to the world right now. Is because of the VOTERS that vote for the GOP.<br />The GOP knew what they were doing years ago when they abolished the CIVICS classes in all of the public schools. A whole generation has no idea about any of the following. How the Federal Government works. How the House of Representatives works. How the Senate works. How a Bill is passed and becomes a law. How Bills are funded.... I could fill a book with what American voters do not know. The GOP counted on having vast amounts of uneducated voters for the less education the more FEAR there is in them thru lack of understanding.<br />This is the major problem in the USA!Raymond Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414122272640069517noreply@blogger.com
