Do not get carried away about Rick Wilson

[thegoose]

He hates the party of Dump. However, he still thinks the original Puke party is wonderful. They are not. They're the same corrupt pieces of shit we've known since Nixon.

[wryter2000]

1. I'm afraid this may be true of most of them

Bill Kristol hasn't changed his spots.


Still, I am enjoying Wilson's witt.

On edit: It's interesting to note that of all the never Trumpers, the only one who's taken responsibility for creating this mess is Joe Walsh.

[thegoose]

3. But he's not for us

And will never be.

[Mz Pip]

12. I'll take it.

Any crack in Trump’s supporters is fine by me.

[olegramps]

48. I have stated it over and over. The Republican Party is a criminal enterprise.

[hlthe2b]

2. The point is they are the few remaining SANE Republicans. That doesn't make them NOT Republicans.

[azureblue]

42. correct

There are a few that are members of the Eisenhower era Republican party. The ones that would be called Democrats today.

[spanone]

4. If they still belong to the party that supports the fat bastard, they are as bad as him.

[Hekate]

5. Do I look like someone who cares? The fact is, he hates Trump & does what he can to unseat him...

In addition, he is funny as hell when he gets going and I need a laugh.

I don't find it hard to also remember his personal history.

[Peace06]

7. Yep!

Good post! The enemy of my enemy is my friend! We need all the help we can get!

[elocs]

11. Exactly! I was just going to post that.

Sometimes we are just too noble and pure in our ideology to be pragmatic.

[Peace06]

34. Elocs

Great minds!!

[not fooled]

14. Agree

excellent take.

And, he gave us the immortal phrase "Everything Trump Touches Dies."

[Ligyron]

16. Oh great.

Curiosity impels me to now go scrutinize Rick Wilson's personal history to see waz up wit dat.

[Hekate]

20. Rick wrote a book you can get from the public library: "Everything Trump Touches Dies"...

He covers some of his extensive history as a GOP apparatchik in the beginning , why he thinks Hillary lost (ouch), and why he thinks Trump is appalling and wrecking the country.

But where he really excels is his description of how the hopeful and deluded crash and burn when they join this administration, and how the formerly well-respected and deluded likewise crash and burn. Try not to spit your drink on the pages of the book.

[Red Pest]

17. To quote Winston Churchill

If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.

[soldierant]

44. Oh, Hell, I know he's not to be trusted

but "General Bonespurs McChickenshit" is just too good a nickname to pass up.

And if it can piss off the Orange Judas, that will be great.

[lame54]

6. Yes - ignore Bat Boy

[Kurt V.]

8. K&R all his ilk will promote the next trump. but one from the federalists society

[KY_EnviroGuy]

9. All the Rethug never-Trumpers are pissed because....

he's potentially blowing this golden opportunity they've been waiting for for decades to completely obliterate the Federal Government.

After we win in 2020, they'll be back to showing their true colors and backed with tons of money.

Never trust wolves in sheep's clothing. They're still wolves......

[FakeNoose]

49. Yep there's gonna be a new Tea Party as soon as they lose

Same shit, with a new name. Until Charles Koch finally dies or goes broke, whichever happens first.

[cutroot]

10. Now that he has done their dirty work for them, He is just a used kleenex.

Just like BuSh They all voted for him. Now they want to pretend it wasn't their fault

[Baltimike]

13. He endorsed not naming Merrick Garland to the Court, and is a former Gouliani staffer

so I take him with a grain of salt, but I never once thought he was a Russian asset, so there is that.

[elocs]

15. There are tens of millions of Republicans, Trump followers & supporters,

and they are going absolutely nowhere. If Democrats take the White House and Congress, they will still be here.
Unless the Left is vigilant and vote like it is their duty in every election and not just when they are excited or motivated, the Republicans will be back in power because hate what they stand for and do, they are relentless in pursuing their ideological goals.

[Alpeduez21]

23. I don't think enough dems

Grasp the importance of this statement. The lazy lying steaming pile Hump is a symptom of the disease that is republican

[MFM008]

18. Ill listen

To him and Nicole Wallace and other maggot
Haters......
For now.

[Indykatie]

19. I Think Most People Are Capable of Making Up Their Minds About Rick Wislon

He supported and made ads for Doug Jones in his Senate run in Alabama. That earned him my respect. He is also one of the best writers when it comes to critiquing Trump and his cult. I just can't bring myself to hate everyone who was a Repub before Trump came along.

[Mr. Evil]

21. Don't forget that Rick Wilson worked on the Senate campaign of Saxby Chambliss

against Max Cleland in Georgia. It was disgusting. Fuck Rick Wilson.

[rockfordfile]

24. I agree

[Historic NY]

22. They will do whatever they can to see Trump gone...

that included electing a viable Democrat. If they sound pushy at times about Democrats it because they know there is a lot riding on getting fuck-face out of there one way or another.

In my town the Republicans form a fusion with the Democrats to unseat the Republicans in power. It got so bad that this was the only way to unseat them.

[JI7]

25. so what ? do you think it's only ok to oppose Trump if they stop being conservatives

and need to change their views to be Democrats ?

so you think McConnell shouldn't do anything unless he becomes a Democrat ?

[thegoose]

31. I don't even know what you mean

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Maybe, but he's hilarious,

and I'm happy for anything he can do to help take Trump down.

[YOHABLO]

27. Many of these anti-Trump Republicans are waiting for a return of the old GOP.

They're what we use to call Republican lite. Moderate, yet still very status quo Republicans

[uponit7771]

28. K&R, It's not like 100% of the a-holes GOP that support Trump now are going away

[LiberalLovinLug]

29. I'm sick to think of how they will resurge. Trump is helping that

If, and that's a big if, the Trumpublican party is finally defeated. And in such definitive terms that the old guard of the GOP, the Never Trumpers, like Rick Wilson are once again the party's spokespersons. CNN and the rest of the MSM news will fall all over each other to praise and support this return to the Republican party of the old Bush senior days. When they could finally use their false equivalency between parties and at least look reasonably plausable.

Where David Frum, Meghan McCain, even Ana Navarro will be quick to speak up for the neo Trump Republican party. There will be this big news cycle on how the Republicans have finally found their way back. And are now a viable sane choice for conservative family value voters.

How is Trump helping this? Just by being so extreme and awful. Any Republican candidate after will be a breath of fresh air and sanity. And the MSM will give that story all kinds of free airtime to develop and establish itself.

[thegoose]

30. Beautifully written

They want to snake back into the country's consciousness and start farting out the platform of wholesomeness and family values. Fuck them

[MuseRider]

32. I love reading him

and listening to him but you can never forget that we will end up on that end of his dialog once a "reasonable" R is in power. He will not be someone I will support by listening or purchasing a book after he does not have Trump around. Right now we need him and those like him.

[samnsara]

33. well he and sarah palin go way back..

..but i think because of that hes always feeling a need to do penance

[Peace06]

35. Rick Wilson

The real question is will he vote for trump. I think not, but that's just me.

[NCLefty]

36. I keep this in mind re: all the Never Trumpers, some of whom I actually enjoy listening to.

I know that once this is all over, I'm not going to like a damn thing they do.

But for now, the enemy of my enemy...

[myohmy2]

37. "They're the same corrupt pieces of shit we've known since Nixon."

...republicans...

...

[AnotherMother4Peace]

38. His book title "Everything Trump Touches Dies" is spot on & his tweet about Trump this morning:

"You fuck porn stars and pay them to keep quiet about your tiny cock" is hilarious.

[cstanleytech]

40. I am surprised it didn't say "your tiny little mushroom dick."

[cstanleytech]

39. IMO the supposed challengers are fluff meant to try and persuade independent voters that were

regretting their Trump vote to vote for them rather than whichever Democrat wins our nomination.

[Scruffy1]

41. Trump is who they are.

The problem with Trump is he is not good at hiding it behind a BS façade. It was true when I was a boy and it's the same 60 tears later.

[JonLP24]

43. Bothers me Democrats like Rick Wilson more than actual progressives

He didn't call out Trump after he told 4 minority women of Congress to "go back". No he said house Democrats should be less like AOC and more like Connor Lamb (the one with ar-15 in campaign ads).

Guess what I supported Democrats when Rick Wilson was working for Giuliani.

[Hekate]

45. Oh please. Wilson's good for a wicked laugh and sees Trump for what he is. He's not running...

...for office and nobody's voting for him. Wildon takes nothing from progressives.

[JonLP24]

46. He was a strategist for Evan McMullin's third party campaign

While Bernie & other progressives receive hate.

Anyone can criticize Trump so was I when he was in my home state in Arizona calling Mexican rapists and the crowd cheered which led me to fear a rising far right nationalist movement.

[thegoose]

51. But he's great for hating Dump?

But not forsaking his shitbag party? I don't think so. He can be as clever as he wants. Leopard's spots aren't changing.

[Maru Kitteh]

47. Okay Dad!

[calimary]

50. VERY GOOD reminder!

Just because they don’t like trump doesn’t mean they’re either redeemed OR redeemable.

You just watch: As soon as trump is gone and they think the coast is clear, they’ll be back to supporting most, if not all, of the policies, people, and things we don’t believe in.
