A DECADES-LONG LEGACY OF “REPUBLICAN” FAILURE …
|| By FITSNEWS || Is the party finally over for the GOP?
On the one hand, we have the forces fueling the improbable political ascent of say-anything, billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump. On the other hand we have a “Republican” establishment that’s “reeling from the feeling” as Trump’s popularity expands.
This establishment has been attacking Trump – and his supporters.
We’re referring of course to the bought-and-paid-for “Republican” party – an entity this website gave up on years ago.
From our post in November 2012 …
… it’s past time that the GOP’s lily white cadre of dark-suited, red-tied, two-faced, big-spending, liberty-depriving, imperialistic, crony capitalistic, currency manipulating, morally sanctimonious, special interest suckling politwhores went away for good .. and let people who actually stand for the things they claim to stand for take a crack at this.
Yeah …
Since we wrote that, the GOP betrayals have mounted. There was the fiscal cliff. The “shutdown” over Obamacare. The capitulation on executive amnesty. More hypocrisy on spending. And of course shilling for Barack Obama’s crony capitalist trade deal.
Hell, even the anti-establishment “Republicans” are bending over for the status quo.
Anyway, there’s a great piece by Breitbart’s Mike Flynn discussing what the Trump phenomenon means for the GOP in a historical sense. According to Flynn, “Republicans” had it made in 1988 when George H.W. Bush was swept into office on the coattails of Ronald Reagan.
What did Bush do?
“He immediately squandered that political inheritance, passing a tax increase, increasing spending on domestic programs and generally expanding the federal regulatory state,” Flynn wrote. “He lost reelection primarily because of conservative anger that vented itself with the Perot campaign.”
That’s true.
More from Flynn’s outstanding analysis …
The Republican party, in Congressional and state legislative races, was given a lifeline in 1994, after the early Clinton Presidency veered too far to the left. Its victories were reactions to oversteps by Democrats rather than an endorsement of its party brand.
Bush, the younger, eked out two presidential victories against deeply flawed Democrat challengers. Both victories were very near-run affairs, capitalizing on Democrat missteps and a more clinical targeting of narrow-interest voters, rather than a positive Republican vision.
After being decimated in the 2008 elections, the Republican party was again given a lifeline by voters outraged over the far-left impulses of the Obama Administration. It has won mid-term elections, which have been framed as reactions to missteps by Obama. It has lost national presidential elections, which are framed as competing visions for the country. In both 2008 and 2012, Republican candidates have suffered declines in turnout from more conservative, working-class voters.
Translation? The GOP has won a pair of low-turnout races (in 2010 and 2014) … and then totally failed to offer anything resembling a distinction from the party they were challenging.
Surprising? Um … no. Remember that U.S. Senate campaign in Mississippi?
“Last year, a Pew Poll found that two thirds of Americans want the next President to reverse course on much of Obama’s policy agenda,” Flynn continued. “Not only has the Republican party not moved in that direction, it has arguably augmented Obama’s legacy by refusing to take action against several of his largest initiatives. The Republican party has placidly stood by while Obama implements his own amnesty program for illegal immigrants. It has led the effort to grant Obama sweeping new powers to negotiate a multi-lateral trade deal. It has also enacted legislation ensuring that Obama’s deal with Iran is implemented.”
Brilliant …
Well, we’d have subbed “flaccidly” for “placidly,” but other than that Flynn is spot on.
We gave up on “Republicans” a long time ago … and they’ve done absolutely nothing since then to warrant a reconsideration of our position. If anything, they’ve gotten worse.

When I caught the tail end of a news flash about a “circus tent collapse” in New Hampshire . . . . .
OK, last one for the day. Lovin’ this Disquis account though. What it tells me, with 30% of the GOP primary voters supporting Trump, is that the GOP has failed to attact new voters, and is increasingly dominated by aged, Tea Party folks, who are a) upset over being stabbed in the back by McConnell and Boehner, b) yearn for a long-gone era of the 1980s and c) are totally irrational, and out of touch with modern reality.
Rocky out – later dudes and dudettes!!!
Well said Mr. Verdad and spot on.
“totally irrational, and out of touch with modern reality.”
I’d like to know what you feel is 1)being in touch, and 2) what is “modern reality”?
I don’t think he’s realized that *is* modern reality.
Republicans being scum, that is.
Even more hate filled gibberish.
I used to at least tolerate him, he has evolved into a turd.
Republicans, tolerate? LOL!!!
I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.
Well at least time fixed one of those for you.
BURN!
No fixin’ stupid, but you’ve aged a bit.
There is a fix for stupid.
They give out Darwin Awards to those people, though.
I see you’ve set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
Outside observer here. You are the one who looks humiliated. You got burned the fuck up and have no come back. Unless you consider that a come back? lol
You must be the first in your family to be born without born without tail.
Another fail. Just stop already.
lolz
“I used to at least tolerate him, he has evolved into a turd.”
You were born a turd and have evolved into a steaming pile of shit . . . .
Goodness, don’t get near him kids! You don’t want him to bite you and give you what he’s got!
Back in your hole, third-rater
Generalize much? Come on Max. I appreciate what you add to this dialogue…but not when you do that.
Do what?
Was it something I said?

Modern reality is that most young folks border on being stupid and will by into anything.They are lazy,uninformed and could care less. In reality they are brain dead when it comes to solving intricate problems!
Says the person who can’t spell “buy”
You act as if old people aren’t the same way. Can’t tell you how many old people I know that watch Fox News every day and know nothing outside of what they see there. Age doesn’t procure maturity or intelligence, but it sure does generate a false sense of wisdom in a lot of people. Like you.
Everybody gets older or else dies. The country is getting older. Thus more Republican. Those old Republicans were sixties liberal hippies.
Nah, the old hippies live in California, which is still very blue.
Elsewhere Republicans are just old Fox News watchers barricaded in their homes so Obama can’t take their guns, the darkies can’t rob them and watching the hispanic guy mow their lawn, as they bitch about immigrants..
They are mesmerized by the Fox News Hurrycane ads however, as they dream of days when they didn’t need the scooter..
They always manage to leave their barricaded homes to vote. Thanks to medicare, they are living longer than ever.
There are higher numbers of Republicans in office than there has been in eighty years.
Those you refer to as darkies don’t have photo Id (ha!) and Hispanics are illegal.
The South and midsection are growing faster and as that process has been going on for 50 years it has continued to become more Republican in local and state elections.
Thanks to Medicare? That’s redistribution of wealth, they are taking my money to give to old people for medical care.
They are voting Republican though, so at least they are voting for people who want to kill Medicare.
they vote by mail
or they just hate the Koch brothers

You do not have much savy!
Do you mean “savvy” perhaps?
Obama has destroyed the Democrat Party.New voter?.Only ones you have are illegals.Candidates?Old,brain injured criminal Clinton, a SOCIALIST and the old,feeble racist Biden that is a plagerizer and has been Obama’s shoe shine BOY-the labotomy he had didn’t help.
Gonna sit back and watch 17 people that LOVE America tonight move us forward as a nation. Hard to believe the democrat Party can’t find ONE.
Our primary one is busy right now – as Vice President.
I saw some focus group video of New Hampshire voters, who call Trump “conservative”, despite his not to long ago statements that he is “very pro-choice”, his past support for amnesty, support for a “single-payer” health insurance system, big government in the form of higher taxes on imported goods, and a wide array of other Democrat positions. So to call Trump “conservative” is to be misinformed, i.e., don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about. What they’ve transferred into conservatism, is Trump’s bombastic, take no prisoners rhetorical flair. I also like Trump’s feedback to reporters when he calls their questions stupid, and shuts them down, and not playing into their gotcha question game. But that doesn’t make Trump a conservative.
Need a Trump focus group? Go to Golden Corral between 4:30 and 6:30.
As I have been claiming all along – Republicans are scum!
Then Democrats will find a way to live off scum.
The Republican vector is fatal.
Then Democrats would not survive.
Republican Party approval rating down to 41% and falling fast. Trump is your only hope, but the establishment and the Koch brothers will spend billions to kill him. I am going to love watching that Koch Brother money go up in smoke..
This is why Republicans are doomed. They are out of touch. They presume they are the only productive people. The assume the productive people agree with them. But there are a lot of us out there who are very productive and who do not. A lot of people who think American can do better and we will all benefit from it. A lot of people who think Republican policies suck and the Grand OLD party is holding this country back from greatness.
The only productivity Republicans care about is what generates profit for the people who fund them.
You elected Obama, and Hillary’s your next best idol. You’re not THAT fucking stupid, are you? (:
More hate filled gibberish.
Holy crap man calm down, find a better outlet for your hatred.
Alright Dude – I signed up and got that avatar. Please change your picture – I still looks like the Joker with an eye-ball falling out.
… and I thought *my* jokes were bad.
they are bad, but your philosophy rocks! ;)
except SYNTwist :)
Trump’s a REPUBLICAN you Fucking idiot.
And GOP voters have quit fucking around and letting you moderates/libertarians triangulators pick the next LOSER. We’re picking a candidate that tells you to STFU and GTFO the way.
Trump’s rise says Libertarian moderates, like Graham, McCain and Sanford are DOA.
That means you don’t get the dicks you suck, like Christie of Jeb, in office.
It also means that even if Hillary can beat the piece of crap Leftists in her own party…she’ll get the FUCK beat out of her in the General.
And that’s what really pisses you off. Now get your head out your ass, you imbecile.
The real reason you guys didn’t hear from GrandTango for a while is because he started wearing diapers on his face, but they started filling up with shit so quickly his budget couldn’t keep up. He still fills up diapers but only out of one of his poop chutes now.
If GT is crapping, you’re behind him cleaning it up.
When he was allowed to post on here, he was always the most prescient, and left most of you with shit running down your leg. Just like you’re doing on this post.
You offer nothing, other than an echo chamber for the trite FITSNews opinions, that they get from MSNBC and the DNC.
GT had more truth and insight in one sentence than this site has offered since Sanford first began bank-rolling it.
Stop the circlejerking, GrandTango, we all know it is you. Why do you have to lie? That makes Jesus cry. Thou shalt not bear false witness and all that. It’s a commandment for crying out loud. You do remember Christianity, right? I’m sure you have a Bible you use as a prop from time to time. Maybe crack it open? Read some of it to Flip while you’re at it. There’s some good stuff in there, like not being a hate-filled jerk to everyone.
Bring back Big T and your female persona, Emily Peterkin.
GT was doing the Caitlyn Jenner thing awhile ago.
Right, GT?
I just pick whatever sex I want to be on any given day.
I guess that means Flip is only gay half of the times.
Maybe if we watch more Steven Seagal movies it’ll be more than 50% of the time, though.
Flip is cool. Sometimes he’s a little over the top with the Muslim Kenyan stuff, but otherwise just argumentative. Tango on the other hand, is a real asshat.
Wherever GT is, you put a smile on his face. When an America-hating, lazy-ass, handout stealing liberal, like you, HATES him, it shows he is TRULY effective.
If you liked him, it means he’s as carping, pandering and weak as FITSNews, or Jeb Bush or Chris Christie or John McCain. We must PLOW you under. Beat you so fucking badly you are permanently weak and damaged.
If we do not destroy you w/ EXTREME prejudice, our greatness will leave us, and we’ll be a third-world armpit, which is what YOU deserve. I’d rather deport pieces of shit like you, than have you take what we’ve made wonderful. I want you to want to GTFO my country, you radical asshole.
Do you have multiple personality disorder or something?
We all know it is you.
The writing style is the same.
The only thing different is your swearing.
You shouldn’t swear, it isn’t very Christian.
God bless you sir, may he heal your hate-filled heart.
I must really get under your skin. Or do you just have a big grain of sand under your 4-skin.
Prez Perry…oops, Romney said hello.
I think GT was 1,000% right on the fuck-up Obama is. You’d be a fucking idiot to try to deny that. But I’m sure you will. (:
Talk of a sore, uninformed dumbass. Good luck getting that cheap mofo to buy you a ring.
I’ll give him a quarter, he can pick one up next time he’s at the grocery store with mama. I don’t mind supporting gay marriage.
You are GT, Sible!!!!
I don’t think Americans are ready for an Orange President yet.
So Biden *is* running?
When did he become a Republican? Before or after he gave money to the Clintons?
Donald Trump is a Republican for the same reason he had spats with Rosie O’Donnell, if it puts his ugly toupe on TV he’s all for it.
Trump is a Republican?
He’s said he is pro-choice.
He’s supported single payer.
He donated to Hillary.
Sounds like a stand up guy!
We were wrong about the Republican party guys!
Trump/Sanders 2016!
He’s a hell of a salesman. He knows what old scared racists of today want to hear. That’s for sure.
I’m just glad he’s pulling attention away from the religious right. No more worrying about Santorum or Hucksterbee having a chance at the Oval Orifice.
Yeah, hating minorities ‘trumps’ that Jesus crap nowadays.
If Jesus were alive today he would be called a socialist, an illegal immigrant, and a member of ISIS. God help him if he tries to buy an airplane ticket.
Which are you, Republican establishment shill or Koch Puppet?
Trump’s a Republican…HAHAHAHAHA. You lost another argument right off the bat there, Cletus. You hated him (Northeast, liberal big mouth, Hillary lover) until he started spewing his racist trash. That is what gets people like you going. The racist talk. And now you will back another loser. Just like you doomed me.
Good Evening Boz.
That sounds like Tango.
Trump is allowing the “republican voter,” including those that don’t often go to the polls, to vent their frustration at government, other institutions, politicians and the ruling class.
Trump has just scratching the surface and as time goes along more and more “average people” will voice their displeasure.
Odds are Trump will not be the next president, but he has already provided a needed and valuable service. Trump has given voice to the average guy and girl and they are screaming loud and clear at the ruling class—we don’t like you, we don’t trust you, and we want you out of the way!
For all the Trump doubters, you need to get on board. Trump has taken everything the establishment can dish out and survived. He has been pounded by the Koch Brothers and their Koch Puppets, and he still stands. The people like what he has to say. They are tired of the same ole Republican establishment line. They are not interested in candidates who go to California and kiss the feet of the Koch Brothers. They want someone who cannot be bullied by the establishment and cannot be bought by the Koch Brothers. It is time for something totally new.
Yes, old white racists who actually watch network reality TV and still have landlines like what he’s saying. Not enough of those to elect anyone president. Can’t wait for the debates ;-)
Well if that is the demographic that will support Trump the rest of the Rep. candidates are screwed, because that describes 80% of the Republican Party
They are so fucking screwed, and know it, that they have taken the everyman-for-yourself route and are just hoping to make a little change without looking too bad.
They want another Raygun.
They want another celebrity turned politician to guide them to the promised land.
Raygun was really a terrible president, and Trump would be too.
The idiot GOP voters will have their voice heard, though.
Right up until the voice of reason shuts them up in November.
Yes, I am an old white bastard
I am not a racist
I do not watch any reality TV
I have a landline and a cell phone
I like what Trump is saying
There are enough of us to elect Trump President
And yes I also can’t wait for the debates – the rest of the sons of bitches will either get on the Trump train and tell the voters like it is or they will find themselves knee deep in sheep shit
No,
There are not enough of you to elect Trump.
Not even close.
If you think that,
You are incredibly ignorant.
Enjoy the bliss…
Look me up after the debate polls are published
Why?
I can tell you right now Trump has zero chance of winning.
WAY more people are laughing at him than supporting him.
In the future, we’ll be able to sum people up for others maybe whispering…
“Jim? Oh, he was a ‘Trump Supporter'”
*exchange of bemused, knowing looks*
The naysayers are full of crap. Trump is crushing their candidate of choice. They are desperate for him to disappear. I agree with you. He can win. Whoever gets the Republican Nomination will get 45%+- of the national vote. As will whoever wins the Democratic nomination. That leaves the true independents to control the election. Trump can get enough of them to push him over the top. He has a hell of a lot better chance than anyone else..
Come on? Are you high? Not even you believe that.
Yep
Oh, you are high.
That’s cool
Carry on….
Trump will bow out.
Some absolute trash Republican candidate will win the primary.
Republicans will hesitantly back the turd.
The unified Democrat party will suckerpunch the GOP on election day.
Hillary wins.
Republicans bicker about how they weren’t conservative enough as more and more moderates flee the small tent.
Bingo!
Do you really trust Hillary?
She’s proven herself to be a liar, and that she has no idea how to uphold national security by having an unsecured email server in her house. Even if you think thats a non-issue (and its not as secretary of state it HAD to have national secrets in it), don’t you wonder WHY she would do that? Don’t you think that smoke screen would signal that she has something to hide?
Our government spends hundreds of millions of dollars to provide secured email functions to its high level employees, and she has a local IT company set up an exchange box in her house?
Doesn’t that alone scare the shit out of you? And you have to ask yourself what you would think if a republican had done the same thing?
Is that kinda like the Romney tax return thing ?
Did I say I trust Hillbillary?
All I am saying is that Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot.
It does scare the shit out of me.
Republicans are too busy fumbling the ball over who to elect.
Trump is owning the field even though he is not a serious contender, something Republicans don’t want to admit.
None of their contenders thus far are worth electing, another thing Republicans do not want to admit.
Even if they had a candidate worth electing, they would have to support policies that would cause me to deem him/her unelectable just to appease their base.
Democrats are going to back Hillary even though she doesn’t deserve to be the nominee.
I’ll vote for Bernie Sanders solely because I trust his voting record, but I know he won’t win.
As for Republicans doing the same thing, Romney deleted almost everything when he left Massachusetts.
That did not scare Republican voters in 2012 though.
Luckily his comments about the 47% scared the moderates, something else Republicans don’t want to admit.
Republican presidents are hardly electable because there is no way to juggle crazy right wingers and moderates without dropping balls, another thing Republicans won’t admit, or accept.
They bit off more than they can chew.
I know we are fucked but at least I can laugh at their folly.
I trust Hillary a hell of a lot more than anyone in the Republican Clown car.
In 2007, while he was in the White House Bush set up an email server at the RNC. Bush, Cheney and the White House staff ran millions of emails through those servers. While he was PRESIDENT, not Sec of State. When those emails were subpoenaed in connection with the potential illegal firing of US Attorneys, the RNC said they had accidently deleted millions of them and they could not be recovered. Didn’t you wonder why? Don’t you think that smoke screen would signal that the RNC and Bush has something to hide.
Our government spends hundreds of millions of dollars to provide secured email functions to its high level employees, and Bush has the RNC IT guy set up an exchange box at the unsecured RNC office?
Doesn’t that alone scare the shit out of you? And you have to ask yourself what you would think if Obama had done the same thing with the DNC?
Maybe all of this bowing down the Republican party is doing to Obama is because secretly Republicans know Obama is doing what they would have done twenty years ago?
Maybe Obama is actually a center-right Republican and the wing nuts are so far right they fell out the chair?
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaahaahahaahaa….gag…cough….Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
A retired detective was called to a gruesome scene near the intersection of Highway 76 and Highway 176. The initial officers on the scene were stumped and wanted his expert opinion
Upon arriving at the scene the retired detective found the body of prominent politician pancaked on the highway. There were skid marks leading up to the body and there were skid marks on the opposite side of the body.
The old timer walked around for a few minutes and then offered up his opinion
Well it looks like someone saw this fella in the roadway, recognized him and slammed on brakes to make sure they would hit him. Then after running over the body the perpetrator put his car in reverse and at a high rate of speed with the tires burning rubber he backed over the prone body thereby ensuring he had made a good kill
Now as for suspects. Right now over 8 out of 10 of people think politicians are one level below road kill so it looks like y’all have a hell of a lot of suspects – best of luck to you
Let’s be honest, Donald Trump is not a serious Republican candidate.
He ran last time, dropped out, will probably do the same this time.
The fact that he is successfully stealing the thunder of the more serious contenders should be alarming.
There is no cohesion in the party, no direction, no one with a solid following.
Hillary on the other hand is facing few challengers and the only mildly serious one, Sanders, will ultimately fail.
Republicans are in deep, deep shit.
This is like McCain picking Palin for his veep.
The only problem is, Trump is the Sarah Palin of the primary.
And he’s on top!
Goodbye, GOP, we hardly knew ye!
Your candidate is Hillary. Hahahahahahahahahahaha.
Keep laughing!
It’ll be funny when Hillary beats whatever clown comes out of the three ring GOP primary circus!
Keep focusing on Hillary. Yes, she is the one. You are getting sleepy…..
Somehow I don’t think Obama will be running against her this time.
Yes….Obama. Keep focusing on Obama. He’s bad. Keep talking about Obama. You are getting sleepy….
I’ll be too busy laughing at you guys. You’ll be crying yourselves to sleep for the next 4-8 years.
Where is ol’ Failin Palin? She’s the only thing missing from this insane shit show.
She keeps getting shown the curb when she isn’t convenient, but the attention whore that she is still gets what she craves from time to time.
Yeah, for drunken family brawls, getting fired and having another bastard grandkid. You betcha!
Bristol is an amazing example to teenagers about the effectiveness of abstinence. I really hope they pay attention to her.
New polls are coming out showing that Hillary way up over every Republican. But that is old news. These polls also show Biden could beat Bush and Walker and Sanders is only 5% behind Bush and Walker; and gaining ground. When will the GOP hit bottom? I’m betting No time soon.
Of course the Bush and Walker numbers are not that relevant right now, because Trump is killing them. Bye, Bye Republican establishment; Bye Bye Koch Brothers.
The GOP is constantly lowering the bar so there’s no telling how far down they will go. They sure aren’t worried about the lead weights tied to their ankles.
The GOP owns the US House and the US Senate, and most of the General Assemblies and Governorships. Sounds like a Fucking Democrat Love-fest out there, doesn’t it, Dumbass? (:
The Kochs actually own Congress, they just let the Republicans play with it.
Lowering the bar? Sanctuary cities to hide illegal felons,queer marriage and ‘closet’ muslim Obama’s creation of ISIS is as low as you can get DEMOCRATS.
To repeat the words of a great American – “There you go again.”
Didn’t polls show her beating Obama in 2008, you ignorant FUCK. Hahahaha.
Didn’t polls show Obama beating Romney in 2012. But you still thought Romney would win, adding to your abysmal record of picking winners.
President Perry
President Gingrich
President (who ever the 999 man was)
President Santorum
Your ability to pick losers, by saying they will win is legendary.
By the way did you turn in that Medicaid card yet?
Burn. Well done, Jack. Those 2014 election results are working well for him, aren’t they. That Bush selection for Chief Justice has nailed him as well. And now he wants Trump! Probably still pissed his “blog” failed.
Herman Cain is who you were thinking of.
You have to love Bachmann’s attack on his 9-9-9 plan.
It’s 6-6-6 upside down!
That spells out how horribly dumb their base is.
No shortage of crazies who still get backed.
I’m amazed people still back Allen West, but at least he gave us a great hissy fit upon getting his ass kicked out.
Hillary is YOUR candidate., You better hope the other party sends a rotting corpse to Election Day 2016. That’s the ONLY chance you have, and I would not bet you can beat a dead elephant w/ Obama;s’s miserable record of failure staring you in the face..
If the election of 2014 did not wake up your stupid asses, you are sound asleep in a blissful ignorance, that allows you to whistle past the supposed carcass that you have to PRAY exists in the GOP.
Stay sleeping you fucking idiots, Stay sleeping. The death of your party is easier that way.
Hope not required. 10 rotting corpses on TV tonight.
Folks, none of this matters. The GOP simply will not win the White House in the foreseeable future.
They just don’t have the demographics they need in swing states and electoral vote rich states to get them across the line. On top of this, they seem intent on shedding any demographic they can to make it all the harder.
In modern day America you can’t just rely on old, angry (mostly male) white people to win a presidential election.
What does it matter?
To expand…no matter who the GOP puts up (Trump/Palin) or (Walker/Rubio)…they will still lose. It’s just how badly they will get whipped that’s the difference.
The Republicans control:
1. Senate
2. House
3 Most Governorships
4. Most state legislatures
Most Americans are governed by Republicans governors. More are governed by Republican legislatures than Democratic.
No demographic problem there.
Pay close attention…I said the White House (a.k.a. the Presidency).
The same electorate.
I suppose demographics don’t aply to states and Congressional districts.
Same electorate?
Only 1/3 of senators are up for election at any one time.
Only nine states have governor elections on the same year as presidential elections.
Republicans always do far better in midterm elections.
Presidential elections are a different beast than Congress or state office elections.
Apples and oranges.
You are really dumb.Please keep voting for the Democrat Socialist Party.
yeah and remember scott walker comes from the middle of that blue wall. there is no gerrymandering in statewide elections. The democrats will lose as long as they nominate Hillary and as long as the republicans don’t nominate a bore like Jeb. It’s all about enthusiasm.
Great post.Obama has destroyed the democrat party.Democrats can’t win elections anymore.Gerrymandering works for BOTH parties.Democrats have a policy/message problem.All politics is local and voters have rejected the lawless and morally bankrupt agenda of the democrat Party.
I agree.Jeb is the ONLY one that COULD elect criminal Hillary.Walker in a landslide.
And in the current polls, Hillary still beats all GOP contenders by 7 points or more.
Gerrymandering affect #2 and #4.
State elections are easier for the rich to buy, which affects #3 and #4.
We will see how long Republicans keep #1.
Excellent points.
1. Low turnout during midterms.
2. These GOP dolts haven’t got a chance on the national stage.
You missed (dodged/ignored) my first question.
What does it matter?
I love to see a fucking idiot buy into the cliches the media feeds its dolts.
I hope your candidates are as fucking Stupid as your ugly liberal ass.
You think you can sit on your fat ass and collect a handout government check, and it will just keep raining largess,w/o the people you are taking it from, ever bludgeoning pieces of shit like you.
Sleep on Dumbass. Sleep on. Your ignorance is truly bliss.
You are just seething with hate, aren’t you buddy? I feel bad for you.
“[P]olitwhores.”
Loving it.
Great writing Will!
The Irony. (:
The failed realization of sarcasm and irony.
I barely skimmed the article. Trump is everywhere. Why? He can be. He has no real solutions. No real game. He is just a loud mouth with a lot of money, that allows him to be in many places. He won’t win. He knows that. I know that. You know that.
He can divide the vote. The Republican Party would be stupid to dismiss him and force an Independent run. So, they tolerate his blathering.
Wahhhhh! You’re posting again! I’m such a moron and I can’t stand it when you and Boz and Rocky and everyone else points it out so easily! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
When they post, it really shows the ignorance of the Democrat Party. Therefore, I’m glad to see them.
Exposing themselves? Oh, is that how GrandTango got “banned” now?
Your solution was Obama, you clueless and brain-dead fucking idiot. So STFU. You are DEFINITELY not the answer.
SYNTwist is a perfect example of how Obama won 2x.Idiots like her and Boz don’t have a core of values and will say anything or change their position on a issue to be liked or accepted by Democrats.They are and have always been life long liberal democrats.
I thought Obama won re-election because Christie was giving him the bro-hugs.
The self-absorbed, America-Hating leftists better hope and pray, the GOP has killed itself. Republicans are the only thing that can stop your destruction and the misery you impart.
And after what you, and Obama, did to our country, the ONLY opponent you’ll defeat is a dead one.
The soul of our nation better pray you are WRONG
If the GOP is dead, another better party will arise to take its place and the Nation will be all the better.
There’s a sucker born every minute.
Electing a radical Islamic muslim 2x as pResident proved that.We agree.
Or, a dumbass like GWB 2x.
You don’t like GWB because he is a Christian and wouldn’t agree with your and SYNTwist’s favorite medical procedure-killing unborn children and selling their body parts for profit.
What a coincidence. Donald was pro-choice himself until recently.
**clearing throat**
You abortion lovers scared the shit out of him when you made it your religion to sacrifice the unborn…aborting viable babies and selling them for profit probably ‘flipped’ anybody with a soul.
And The Donald is a Christian for sure. And “conservative.” HAHAHA. This time next year he will be hawking bomb shelters on Faux News…and you’ll be buying (but something tells me Glenn Beck already convinced you to do that).
Don’t worry about Donald’s faith.We already know he doesn’t rely on the Koran,Muslim Brotherhood and the Ayatollah for spiritual guidance like the current occupier of the people’s house.
So true. And The Donald is smart enough to know that. He is must see t.v. tonight. And the dolts (or the suckers as you say, which is what McCain should have called them instead of crazies) don’t know a vote for Liberal Donald is a vote of support for Bill & Hillary. They are too dumb to figure it out.
What do you expect from a political party whose symbol (the African elephant) is expected to be extinct in its natural habitat within 50 years??
Tracks right along……………………………
Good point. What is the party going to do or a mascot, when all those Republican Big Game Hunters and anti-environmentalists kill off all the real elephants.
We need a nationalist part, America for Americans. Defend our culture, our values, secure the borders and deal swiftly and harshly with any illegal immigrants and enforce an English only policy for all governmental, educational, and legal communications.
Sounds a lot like the Nazi Party.
I was reading some history recently and saw a mid-1930s statement from a Nazi leader (Goebbels or Goring, I forget) whereby he described what he would do to Germany’s Jews. He basically described the specific details of Jim Crow.
Didn’t Guiliani hold a similar lead around the same time in 2007?
Just ask WWBBD * and that is your answer for every Repub position without exception. (*What Would Big Business Do)
Will Folks—fresh off of lying about sleeping with Haley—stuck
his finger in the pot to join in bashing Trump
But like his degenerate twin Mark Sanford—not hiking in the
Appalachians—Will just pulled back a…stump !!!
Rocky Verdad was so ah in touch with “reality” that he peed
blue—that is of course when he was able to pee
Just like Will Folks and OTHER degenerate Libertarians—he never
knew the train that crushed him was…Tea !!!
