I'm gonna have to be careful here... [View all]

Because not for one instant do I want to be accused of disparaging Democrats.

If a Republican candidate had had a bad debate, the first thing out of the gate would have been the entire Party stating that they had clearly and overwhelmingly won the debate no question about it. They would Gish Gallop any commentators who suggested otherwise and would state that a significant rise in the polls was forthcoming as a result.

There would not be a single solitary hint of dissatisfaction with the candidate or the debate performance and it would be full speed ahead redoubled.

We seem to have difficulty going for broke and are characterized as having grace, class, and patriotism. Yeah. Great. Do remember that we barely beat Gerald Ford, an appointed President who had zero charisma, had pardoned Nixon, and we lived through the worst political scandal to date with constant Republican attempts to whitewash it, with them giving in only because the tapes came out. They would never ever do that now. It was horrifyingly close all things considered. Did I mention horrific inflation during the Ford Presidency. Remember WIN: Whip Inflation Now? Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

We need to blitz the airwaves and the Net with ads that show Trump saying one of his insanely inappropriate statements and then have a spokesman or even The President himself say “Are you effing kidding me? He really said that. Wow…this is just nuts.” Or words equivalent. All gloves off…no more “debates”. Show this sociopath for what he is. No holds barred. Make him a laughingstock.
