William Kristol, from the conservative The Weekly Standard, also wonders why Trump was not dumped earlier; and points to a conservative female follower on Twitter as an example of why it is not just what Trump did, but how the very pathetic reaction of many men in the GOP to the would be groper in chief is truly sinking the GOP brand.
Q: if LePage, Ailes, and Christie are on the same platform as Trump… how the Hell is it not sagging!?
You know, if Trump wins, there may just be the largest number of cabinet members travelling to and from White House briefings and meetings on scooters ever recorded…?
It reflects poorly on 58% of republican women, too.
It’s better to burn out than fade away.
Thank you so much for not copyrighting this!
That isn’t how copyright works.
Were I a high-school civics teacher, I’d spend a week on that (red) phrase alone. The logical disconnect exhibited therein is staggering!
Huckabee compares Trump to Quint, and HRC to the shark in the original Jaws; people who have watched the movie collectively scratch their heads in confusion: https://twitter.com/Jzokun/status/785708353360060416
Not to mention, that the “authoritarian” is posed as the counter to the “autocrat.”
Good point. LePage’s brain appears to be wired up funny.
I’m well aware. It was my way of thanking LHoD for coming up with a great zinger that I’ve shared with many people on social media.
What an idiot (Huckabee). And now I dislike Megyn Kelly a little less–not just for correcting him immediately about Quint, but for singing “Spanish Ladies” as well.
I am not completely convinced that Trump couldn’t still make election night a little close for comfort. But I am increasingly confident that Trump will almost certainly be the ruin of the republican party.
The trajectory, the pattern is clear. The GOP had a chance to stand up to the tea party in 2012 but didn’t. They had more chances in 2013 and 2014 but didn’t. They had a chance to block Trump from taking the debate stage in 2015. They had a chance to gang up on him in early 2016. They had a final chance to give Trump the nomination but they could have colluded to keep their distance from Trump and let him fizzle. Yes, all of those moves were fraught with risks in the short-term, but in the long-term, they could have saved their party from the madness they’re stuck with now. Even now they still have an option and Paul Ryan’s trying to explain it to them: let Trump lose and support the party down the ballot and have fun tormenting and obstructing president Clinton – even more fun against one of the weakest likely victors ever. But the rethuglicans are just too stupid to see it.
The best (worst) is yet to come. Just wait until election night and in the weeks after the election. The GOP doesn’t know what to do about Trump and his band of crazies so it will run with its de facto leader, who has just packed them all into a stolen car and taken them on a wild joy ride. They will finally, eventually end up going to go too far – I don’t know what that means yet but they will. And when they do they’re going to ride over the cliff like Thelma and Louise
This from one of the most racist idiots we have seen in a long time. David Duke would be embarrassed to utter some of the nonsense this guy has.
Yeah he’s a nutter, I read this in another thread as well. I met Hillary several years ago, shook hands with her even, and I can assure everyone she smelled quite pleasant. Perhaps she acquired her demonic status within the past couple years, or I couldn’t smell it, because I am also a demon. 
Chris Christie’s support is wavering. He did not accompany Trump to the debate because he thought the apology was not convincing. Even Glenn Beck is supporting Hillary now.
The Orange Fuhrer is getting more angry and desperate. He hates “disloyal” Republicans more than Hillary. It is going to be an ugly month with Trump lashing out at everyone.
Katrina Pierson. What a widget head. I’m still trying to figure out her angle, what’s in it for her regarding Trump.
At this point Trump’s “plan” seems to be to take down the GOP with him.
She’s a true believer: x.com
I’m baffled by not one, but two, complete disconnects in a single sentence in LePage’s statement:
So, first, authoritarian power = rule of law?
And second, we’ve had enough of an “autocrat” who “does it on his own”, so to fix that, we’ll replace him with someone who “shows some authoritarian power”?
