Re: Republicans
Christ on a crouton. It's time for the Republicans to be honest and change their name to the Third World Christian Fundie Party.

Re: Republicans
Yeah, that's because he's the most liberal President since Bonaparte.Forty Two wrote:At least we know straight from the horse's mouth - see the NY Times Op Ed - that Trump is not a Republican. He is described as a President who has acted contrary to "long held conservative ideals" and it's only a few bright spots, achieved "despite" Trump, not because of him, where good things that conservative Republicans support have happened.....
See - if you take the NY Times OP ED guy at his word, Trump is still hated by the establishment Republicans and is acting contrary to their wishes. If anyone should be supportive of that, it's non-Republicans!

I'll go with the fact the 88% of the Republicans who voted, voted for Trump. The GOP owns this guy, whether their "establishment" likes it or not.
He's like George McGovern in 1972 that way.

Re: Republicans
That's where you are wrong joe, The GOP does not own frump, they own to him... he was the only guy they could muster to beat hillary, but he's not truly one of them, if only because he's even crazier than they are... and they have no real control over him.

Re: Republicans
I agree, Svarty, Trump is a wild card. Nobody really knows what to do with him.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Re: Republicans
If things really are as the latest news have it, I'm surprised they aren't impeaching hime over the Russian thing or any other excuse they could trump up and replacing him with nice, predictable and "one of us" for a Catholic Mike Pence...

Re: Republicans
The GOP seem cowed by him - their political need to not openly criticise him had been turned by the Trump PR machine into a kind of presidential impugnity that serves only to embolden and excuse each others deficiencies.Svartalf wrote:If things really are as the latest news have it, I'm surprised they aren't impeaching hime over the Russian thing or any other excuse they could trump up and replacing him with nice, predictable and "one of us" for a Catholic Mike Pence...

Re: Republicans
Different definition of own Svarty. It might be peculiar to American slang.
I mean they own him in the sense that they will be held responsible for him. They had the opportunity to stack the deck against him at the convention, but lacked the courage to lose an election to preserve their party's principles.
I believe his stink will cling to the GOP for some time to come.

Re: Republicans
Strange that the party has no vetting process. No public tax returns? Throw him out, not on the ballot.
Re: Republicans
They used to, but times have changed. The Democrats started using super delegates after the McGovern nomination, but the Republicans didn't adopt that tactic. That's how the Dems contained the Bernie movement, but the GOP couldn't derail the Trump train.

The Will of the People. He won the nomination. Unless you stack the deck with super delegates or something similar there's always a possibility the mob will do something you don't like.
