The American voter does not recognize a qualified candidate;
they would rather choose someone more dimwitted.

someone they can "have a beer with" or someone who "gets them" even though they've never met or had a conversation with them, they can just tell based on whats on TV.

is the Trump cult actually thinks he cares about them! Can you imagine Trump inviting some of "the cult" to Mar-ma-lardo to hob-nob with his overcharged country club members? Riiiiight!! The invitation is in the mail.

are ASSUMED to be better educated and more intelligent, and therefore, total snobs, unrealistic about REAL American citizens' wishes, "snowflakes," whatever... REAL Americans live only in "flyover" areas of the country and deserve for their votes to count more than several million people people in (gag) California. It's a uniquely American phenomenon and a sadly false one in both respects.

Joe Conason's (2001 paperback) book should be a primer on who owns the major news outlets and the monied influencing the direction of thought.

Forty years from Reagan, Whitewater and the Conservative disinformation movement to Trump. Hillary has been a class act and it took a savage, relentless attack feeding those hungering to hate to make her a "monster." AOC may take cues on the psychology of hate and how to avoid Hillary's demonization.

and I'm also remembering how the Repugs were all over her for being "seriously ill" and "possibly not physically able to serve" when she had the flu.
GAWD, they are such hypocrites!

Not to be a conspiracy monger, but I wonder if that rumor was started by his campaign, if/when Fuckface Von Clownstick was diagnosed with cognitive impairment or early dementia.

He's the worst projector I've ever seen, so it makes sense. He's obviously impaired and getting worse with each passing month.

The ones who either get a glint in their eye and grift right behind like remora after a shark or flap their hands and run to and fro. These big men. These governing geniuses.

I’m counting on the ones who have an iota of courage to get out there and make this government work again-better, stronger, and with a whole lot of people never able to do this to us again.

Trump knows not what to do ...Yells, "Witch Hunt" and his party follows with hate. We saw that party try to destroy Cohen as he testified. They didn't destroy him, he survived. That Republican Party is destroying itself with Mr. Trump who has soiled his dipper. Trump thinks he can win this..
...He doesn't know, but he has already lost.

were the party that had an investigation into SOCKS the CAT when Bill Clinton was president - that's how desperate they are and were. The party that investigates presidential pets has 0 standing to whine and complain about anything Democrats do when in charge.

Absolutely. She remained the one adult in the room when the asshole CONS were railing at her and throwing up all kinds of sturm und drang. And she kept her cool. ELEVEN HOURS of testimony in that Zippy the Pinhead Benghazi inquisition. And they came up with an 800-page report, I think it was, and it turned out to be 800 pages of NOTHINGBURGERS.

And if you’ll recall, Gowdy released his report almost literally under cover of night. Right before he resigned from Congress at the end of his term and went back to the private sector. No press conference. No loud rambling interviews with magazines or newspapers. No fanfare of any sort did he stage for “the big release.” He issued it quiet as a little mouse and then skunk off outta town into the shadows of obscurity. You Know, full well, that if there’d been ANYTHING criminal or even halfway suspicious in there he would have been on Pox Noise with bells and gongs and brass bands, around the clock. Nothing. There was NOTHING. And that was very simply because there WAS nothing. They had NOTHING. They found NOTHING.

And how about them Dems causing the Republican in NC-9 to commit election fraud? Gotta be so, Moscow Mitch told it on the Senate floor!

I don't wan't 'em to sit down and shut up; I want them to sit down and 'FESS UP! We can build more prisons if that's what it takes to hold ALL the criminals in the Republican party.

RICO their asses.
