No, it isn't.

Ask the idiots on this board how many of them would have voted (at all, but specifically Republican) if Trump WASN'T going to be the nominee.

Count the number of times you read nonsense like "GOPe" and "Establishment Republicans" here. And when you do, remember that the mouth breathers typing it actually believe that there is a global conspiracy that the particular Republican that is being discussed is complicit in.

I know there's more cult member morons here than nationwide, but it's still fairly representative of the base.

Of course the party is fractured, and I'm not sure that's such a bad thing. Look what has happened to the Democrats. In order to preserve party unity, the populist radical left has been allowed to hijack the party. It's over the moon nuts at this point, because the nuts in the party are controlling the agenda.

I hope the adults in the Republican party can hold on and prevent the same thing from happening to the Republican Party. I understand that they can't take it back until the Cult Leader is no longer eligible, but I hope they can hold on long enough to wrestle it back afterward.

If not all we'll be left with is a left and a right faction of the Populist Whining Party, dedicated to the proposition of victimhood via Elite conspiracy.

After the Trump smoke finally clears, if nobody is left to be the adult in the room the country is screwed.

The actual people who get rich from endless wars are few in number. That's who Nikki and other neocons serve. The party pushes people like her as if they're actual conservatives, because that's what the constituency wants. They can apply that same vigor to an actual conservative and not miss a beat.

They are the sore spot, not Trump. They are the small thing that can and should be removed, not MAGA values and supporters.

It’s easy to say what you said. But what comes after that? I don’t know if I’ve heard that answer from the MAGA crowd.



Tucker hasn't told them what to say to that question yet.

If they're so stupid they can't figure it out on their own (and they appear to be just that stupid), nothing you can say is going to help.

Why have people become so dumb that they literally cannot grasp that two (or more) things can be true at the same time.

Sure, some people are war profiteers. Some people make money on war. They always have and they always will, on both legitimate and non-legitimate wars.

So what?

That doesn't mean that every war or every military action isn't legitimate or doesn't need to happen to keep the world a safer place or to serve the interests of ordinary American citizens. Most of them do one or both of those things—WHILE someone's out there making money on them.

You know what else people make a lot of money on? Medical research. But I suppose we should shut that down too, since someone is out there making money on it.

And someone is out there making a lot of money drilling for oil. Better shut that down fast as we can.

Of all of the things that amaze me about this idiotic populist movement on the "right," the fact that so many of y'all are so willfully ignorant of the fact that you now sound just like the people on the populist left—with surprisingly little variation.

Everything is a conspiracy about The Man screwing the Little Guy. The left has been talking that way for 60 some-odd years. The right for 6 some-odd years. But the longer this goes on, the more you'll end up realizing that you have in common.

The formula above is a great example—the same thing the left has been saying for several decades: If someone's making money doing it, it has to be bad, nothing good can come from it, and there necessarily has to be a conflict of interest going on inside of it.

I laughed at that too.

Romney Republicans don't have a place in the party anymore. They do more harm than good.

When you take a look at the current state of affairs and conclude the problem is the voters, you are a part of the problem and the decline of our country.

You are a net negative on this great country.

Nikki needs to partner up with Liz to start a goat ranch in Wyoming.

This tiny group of people is trying to make it look like Trump and his values and basic conservative values are the outlier that needs to go. It's the warhawks and their entire ecosystem that needs to go, and can be excised pretty easily in one round of voting, if the will is there.

Oh holy faggity shite. Whether you're a true believer or just an MIC shill, that's some pretty thick bullshite.

What the frick are you talking about? You think my problem is the mere fact that money is being made? What an a-hole.

there's a gulf of difference between capitalists just trying to make money and decades long quagmires that serve ONLY to make people money, while expending countless lives on all sides and invariably ending in a stalemate.

You're either really dumb or a total piece of shite. Pick one.

Sorry Ron’s campaign didn’t make it past Iowa, but that’s no reason to lash out at the voters.

Are you another guy happy with the representation we currently have in Washington?

Chicago has a crime problem - "they voted for it"
Republicans have a RINO problem - "we're victims!"

Thanks bro.

Are you satisfied with the representation Republicans currently have in Washington? If not, who should we blame? The voters?

It's funny that pointing out that voters are responsible for their own bad choices made me "a net negative".

Then in another thread you seem to have the ability to recognize that "Romney Republicans" are bad voters who send bad people to Washington.

You don't seem very consistent in your takes.

The voters aren’t fractured. The donors lied to the voters for decades, but the voters have rebelled. The donors are actively trying to regain control, but it’s not working.

It annoys me that this narrative is built around the false premise that the RINOs are necessary to placate. They're not. And they are working with the enemy so frick em. I don't want to be in their party anymore anyway, so how about they GTFO.

No. I'm saying Romney had a difficult time motivating the conservative base of the party--because he was a fake conservative.

I'd say the same about Trump. And that's why he's going to face the same problem GOTV that Romney did.

It doesn’t seem like you have your finger on the pulse of anything approaching reality.
