Shorter than “running dog jackals of the ruling class”.
No, from the Dope; “Dem” and “Pub” are commonplace abbreviations here and have been for years.
But lacks the flavor of the longer name. 
Less filling!

Where you been, WillFarnaby???
For a minute there, I thought you were going to say you would leave the country, and I could make an Alec Baldwin joke, but you didn’t, thanks for ruining my joke 2ManyTacos. (I forgot which Republican celebrity said the same about if Obama got re-elected.)

If the Dems nominate a woman in 2016, mightn’t the Pubs feel obligated to do likewise?

If the lesson the Republicans learned from Sarah Palin was “Don’t nominate women” rather than “Vet your veep candidates sufficiently to find out which ones are ninnies before putting one on the ticket,” then they’re even dopier than I thought.
They didn’t learn about vetting running mates from the Dan Quayle incident, either. So don’t count on it.
Republicans and GM have the same problem … Forget the past and get on with the future.
Compared to Palin, Quayle was Winston Churchill. At least he had Senate experience and that unfortunate “potato” incident was quite overblown.
Tru dat.
This would have been true if it had been one isolated instance. But the string of Quaylisms of similar foot-in-mouth level (“Happy campers,” “what a waste it is to lose one’s mind,” etc.) that strongly suggested his brain wasn’t firing on all cylinders was pretty extensive.
I think that Jeb was a good governor.
Well the evidence of the Stupid Republican Idea of the Day thread is quite convincing – “dopey” doesn’t even BEGIN to describe Republicans. I personally thjink “batshit insane” is on the mark.
Won’t someone think of the bats!
If Jeb keeps straying from the approved script like he did on Sunday talking about immigration, the enthusiasm for him making a run for POTUS will evaporate quickly.
The problem is that the GOP has no “approved script” there, because it has no consensus, and a Pub can hardly say a single sentence about immigration without pissing off either the TP wing or the bizcon wing.
What? Oh. No, you want this other thread, also Florida-related.
Care to explain why you think so?
I would take the position that pissing off the bizcon wing on immigration is more likely to be survivable than pissing off the TP wing. Jeb is waaaaay too moderate to survive the Republican primary season.
