DEGOP lines up squarely behind Trump
I know Charlie Copeland is smart. So I know he doesn’t believe the nonsense and rationalizations about Trump coming out of his own mouth. He no doubt hopes Trump loses without stripping away the last few shreds of the GOP’s dignity. That way Copeland can go on to helping candidates who are more adept at keeping their bigotries quiet, like Ken Simpler, get elected.
As for the rest of the Republicans quoted in this weekend’s News Journal piece, like Gary Simpson, they are idiots. They have internalized the lie that Secretary Clinton is the anti-christ, or the lie that Donald Trump can be the strong man “America needs” or both.
As for Delaware Republicans not going to the convention, all of them are voting for Trump. ALL of them. Every Republican knee will bend. Except one. Wilmington Booster, Ken Grant, has actual friends who are black and or Muslim, and he knows what a Trump victory would mean for them and the country. Everyone other Delaware Republican is voting for Trump. Every one.
What would a Trump victory mean for black and or Muslim people?
misery.
Biblical sources tell us when the world ends, that trumpets would sound… it could have been misspelled and have meant that Trump/Pence would sound instead…..
lol. I wondering about how
TrumPence would look on a logo
You called this months ago, Jason.
“My sense is that they will meekly fall in line and discover that Trump is actually pretty good. It will take some rationalizing, and McGyver like defusing of some cognitive dissonance, but Republicans are well practiced at living with the nonsensical as if it was sensical. How else can they still be in favor of tax cuts as an economic policy, right? “
This is what will happen with the GOP all over the country. Anyone who thinks Clinton will coast to victory with turn-coat GOPers will be as wrong about that as every other Trump prediction.
She won’t coast to victory on turncoat Republican votes. She’ll coast to victory on Latina/Latino votes. That is traditionally the lowest-turnout minority voting segment, but it won’t be this year.
TrumPence should be a verb.
How about a verb that’s a cross between trumpery and comeuppance?
If America elects these clowns, it will get its trumpence.
Former Delaware Republican Party Executive Director, John Fluharty, deserves credit for calling out his party via Facebook Live from the convention for their anti-LGBT platform.
Trumpence – sounds like English pocket change post-Brexit.
John Fluharty really is doing great work reporting from the GOP convention. It is simply incredible that the GOP can’t be grateful for people like John who still stick with them.
