Trump is a new style Republican. He speaks his mind. He gets into wars of words. He is willing to go to war over words. He is at times down right rude. He does not mind making enemies.

All these things run contrary to the style of the Republican Party. The fact is the Republican Party is heavily Southern-centric and highly influenced by upper middle class country club types.

In the South politeness is next to cleanliness which is next to godliness. What Trump does and how he acts is no worse than and is in fact the moral equivalence to farting out loud in church during the sermon.

The Republicans never had the stomach to fight fire with fire with the Democratic Party. Therefore in terms of leverage, they never had any. They could be forced to do just about anything and never could keep the Dems from doing anything because they were weak. They were weak because they had a limit and the Dems don't.

Trump has no limits. He is not afraid. He is not a Southerner and while he is a country club type, he is also a fighter. He is a true New Yorker. And they say if you can make it there you can make it anywhere.

The Republican Party never had the balls to lead this country the way it needs to be led. I still get sick to my stomach when I think about the fact that W had both houses and did nothing with it.

It is high time we had a change in tone in the Republican Party. It is what has been missing all along.

The Manhattanites would disagree. He's from Queens, which is uncouth and brash even for them.

Emmett Till Says Hi

quote:

Bryant’s husband Roy and his half brother, J.W. Milam, seized the 14-year-old from his great-uncle’s house. The pair then beat Till, shot him, and strung barbed wire and a 75-pound metal fan around his neck and dumped the lifeless body in the Tallahatchie River. A white jury quickly acquitted the men, with one juror saying it had taken so long only because they had to break to drink some pop. When Till’s mother Mamie came to identify her son, she told the funeral director, “Let the people see what I’ve seen.”

I hope you realize how irresistible this is to women voters.

DJT is not an Elitist Country Club Republican Snob like McConnell , Bush, McCain, etc.., He's the new money loud mouth who could only get in the CC through the service entrance. So, Trump buy's and builds some of the finest GC's on the planet and he sit's back flicks his nose at them. Now he's POTUS, and it's killing them.

Man, that was a lot of words to just say that they've been a bunch of spineless pussies.

So you think acting like uneducated white trash is the answer?

that is the answer in a nutshell. i don't particularly like Trump's stances in a lot of things. not most, but a lot. i'm just tired of the other side running roughshod over everybody else. i'm happy to have somebody that won't go run back in their corner because they get called a bad name.

Republicans....too nice?

Did you ever hear of Lee Atwater?

Do you know who Roger Stone is?

Ever rad this about GOP consultant Jeff Roe who proudly claims that he will "do anything to win"?

Dude, don't kid yourself, the GOP is as hard brawling when it comes to politics as the Dems are!
