Any President "indistinguishable" from a Democrat


Hillary isn’t indistinguishable from a democrat being that she is one.

Apparently Trump is indistinguishable from Hillary, per the actually discussion at hand you keep trying to derail.

Hillary was going to be the president if Trump didn’t run. You said McConnell had a super secret plan in place to flip the court but you can’t tell us how he was going to do that with Hillary as president.

Well MAGA logic isn't logical. I agree.

In attempt to seriously derail the discussion....

I don't think we can. Look at the voting numbers of women vs. men of any race or education level. (R) put up Romney and McCain and got their teeth kicked in. They've been doing the same thing to us for decades, and we just lay back and take it, with one prominent exception.

Yeah, she would have absolutely given us a flipped court in our favor if she’d won. It was all part of McConell’s super secret plan you can’t tell us about.

The first problem with being non-Democrat in this country is that you have to recognize you're in the minority nationally.

This mythology that Republicans are the real majority has to die.

They have to mold themselves as the minority party and seize real opportunities (like 2016) when Democrats pushed things too far and create a backlash against the majority.

That was the argument being made, effectively.

Again, MAGA logic isn't really logical. You seem to be agreeing without realizing you joined the actual discussion finally.

No, I responded to you making the argument that McConnell had a plan in place to flip the court before Trump even decided to run. You made this argument out of TDS and can’t back up how McConnell’s plan was supposed to actually work.

I mean that's a factual statement. He's been working with the Federalist Society on this before 2015.

No. I made this argument to show how McConnell is not "indistinguishable" from DEMs, which was the literal point I was replying to. Look I'll re-quote what I was responding to, since reading is hard.

I really dgaf about the window dressing of a “majority” that is indistinguishable from a minority.


So all your argument is doing is calling Trump a Democrat. I've tried to let you backtrack and admit your folly, but you want to quadruple down on the sentiment.

So, glad to know you're on record saying Trump is "indistinguishable" from a Democrat. I'll be sure to bring this up when you're trying to sound smart in the future.

is the process through establishing principles and sticking to them?

Democrats pushed things too far


But, not far enough. Blacks, Latinos and Muslims are hardcore against non traditional sex (trans in schools, etc.) Yet, the voting rates for all of those for (D) are overwhelming. Whitmer still got re-elected, which was one of my indicators I should just have a stroke and die. Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Pennsylvania are safe for (D). So what now?

So which republican president was he going to be working with that was going to help him execute this plan if, as by your own admission, he had this plan in place before Trump even announced? Because, none of the people who were under belief at the time would win the nomination were going to beat Hillary in the general.

None of this super secret plan you think McConnell had for flipping SCOTUS was even possible without a Trump victory.

But I forgot, you think Trump is just a democrat like Hillary, even though he gave you a court you’d have never gotten under Hillary.

You’re not considering that 98% of the country is nowhere near as politically aware and informed as we are in this board. Most people have no idea who their members of congress are. They vote for who their respective community influences support.

Most people simply do not give a shite. Sad but true.

That's your argument, within this discussion

My argument was specifically to distinguish McConnel (and by proxy, Trump) from being a Democrat.

This isn't complicated. Try to keep up.

No, I’m responding to your asinine assertion that the Supreme Court flip happens without Trump because McConnell had some super secret plan that you can’t tell us about.

This is correct. This is a major reason why the DEMs investment in specific institutions (media, academia, tech) have paid such dividends. The can soundboard their ideas/arguments throughout the portion of society that is somewhat malleable quite easily.

The scary part for Republicans is that this was such a wise investment, that they're overtaking other institutions the GOP had invested in. I mean even church and the suburbs aren't automatically pro-GOP anymore.

The plan was to wait until a Republican won and go ham, which he did. Trump just happened to be the guy who Mitch used as his pawn.

Same with the tax cuts they got passed (they always have a new tax cut bill draft waiting for a Republican victory. It's a right of passage).

Trump was replaceable in this plan. McConnell was not. Romney, Rubio, Cruz, Rand, etc. would have all worked.

LOL

Ok, so McConnell’s awesome plan was to wait 4-8 years of Hillary’s term and then somehow flip the court she’d already stacked in the left’s favor?

You are actually just dumb enough to believe this

Not true - we'll definitely get something. Something as government funded caskets with the remains of our sons and daughters killed in an assortment of nasty regional conflicts. Think Viet Nam. Yep, the more things change the more they stay the same.

Remember this my fellow citizens of this once great Republic, at some point there is a going to be 'one incident' that will trigger a full confrontation with Russia. Once the emotion of war gets ahold of people, there's no stopping the insanity.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason the UniParty-Democrat-Globalist-Warmongering crowd detest Donald Trump. His "America First" iniative does not sit well with the profiteers waiting in the shadows to move in to exploit the resources of a vanquished country. Greed is a terrible scourge.

To the victor goes the spoils of war.

He lasted through 6+ years of Obama. I'm sure he'd have waited longer.

He's a Senator. He's not God. He can only create a strategy based on opportunity that fate may provide in the future. That's how life works.

That's how life works, generally. If you're still upset, take it up with your god(s).
