We’re blessed with a trifecta of conservatives on this board who express themselves so eloquently. These three excel in clear, precise almost surgical precision as they cut to the heart of a political discussion. It’s so refreshing. Opinion is always better than the fucking facts. The three are, in no particular order; **Doorhinge** , **Okrahoma** and **Clothahump**. These three ambassadors of intelligence for the Republican party are the 1 percenters who toil to keep the news straight and free from misleading stories, and those stories that are a little misleading, they are quick to point ouf the truth. To them I say, keep up the great work. If it wasn’t for you three, the Republican party would be nothing more than a weak, disorganized, get-nothing-done, experiment in why D students shouldn’t run a country. Thank Og that has never happened. But you three bring hope for the future. I know your blessed marshal must be a very unique individual to have gained your support. I offer these examples of how blessed we are by the presence of you three gentlemen. > [@Texas again proves it is the asshole of the US](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/texas-again-proves-it-is-the-asshole-of-the-us/790239/22): > > That’s because we’ve been infested by liberals fleeing California and Yankeeland due to economic issues caused by failed liberal policies.

Oh well, life goes on. There’s so much more to work with with Doorhinge, but Mr. Miller, I’m just too lazy to wash behind my ears today.

Even for 7 virgins I’m not doing that. I need HELP with this. I fucking hate washing behind my ears if it’s not Sunday. Anyway, I nominate Clothy for their leader. Oh fuck I forgot, pit language. Fuck something, somewhere, somehow in a bed of thissels. The fucking unshaven Republicans. ---

Poor **doorhinge** , all his Trump and Republican puffery is just a distraction from his refusal to admit his [penchant to fantasize about honey-covered firemen](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=741905&page=5). But maybe if we all show him how accepting we are – that we all make it clear to him that there really is nothing wrong with visions of burly adonises dripping with honey – then he can finally come out of his shell and be the real **doorhinge**. You be you, **doorhinge** – I’ll always support you! And I’m sure the rest of the Dope has your back as well! ---

Watch it now, OP; **doorhinge** will try to claim that none of your post means anything because you spelled his screen name with a capital “D”. In any event, I vote **Clothahump** , on the basis of seniority, and for his fondness for the term “broke dick”. ---

It’s not his screen name, it’s his _nom de plume_. 😃 Just add a trigger warning before capitalizing, he needs that. ---

Clothahump can’t be the leader. He’s 100% follower. His only contributions are cut and pastes of things he read elsewhere combined with various unsubstantiated projections. “No you Liberals are the ones who don’t present any evidence for their views.” If it weren’t for a clearly established right wing source telling him what to think, or lefties shouting insults at him to he can respond with “No You!” he wouldn’t have anything to post. Doorhinge doesn’t actually do much in the way of supporting Trump. His method is more in the direction of distracting from Trump foibles with accusations against the “Democrat” party, lame stream fake media, and hyperbolic strawman posts about the Left overreacting to Trump. For real no holds barred Trump apogologism, you have to go with Okrahoma. To Okrahoma Trump is the most brilliant tactician and every one of his tweets is a calculated more to put his detractors (ie Most of America and the entire free world) at a disadvantage. The crown goes to Okrahoma. ---

**Okrahoma** reminds me of notorious “internet celebrity” Charlie Zelenoff, the self-proclaimed “greatest boxer of all time” and “Baddest Man On The Planet”. He claims to have a boxing record of 162-0, despite losing his one and only professional fight. Instead, he is to be found in Youtube videos, challenging random people in gyms to fights, getting beat down and then literally running away while declaring himself the victor. Like **Okrahoma** , he is universally acknowledged to be delusional, with significant psychiatric issues. ---

I too would nominate the humper of cloth for his long term tenasity if nothing else but as mentioned above he’s too much of a follower. Sadly the crown should go to the upstart. Personally I think he’s an idiot and I can’t stand him but as a southern boy at heart, every time I see his username I think of fried okra. Yummmmmm ---

I noticed that, too. 🙂 I’m happy with all of them taking the lead… perhaps they could rotate monthly. But what I really want to say is that I welcome all of their comments.

All manifestations of thought to the right of Joe Biden comes from that Mothership.
