Phil1111 910 #1 Posted July 30, 2020 "A cadre of Republican opponents of President Donald Trump is nonetheless calling for a purifying fire to sweep through the GOP in the fall, taking down not just Trump but as many Republican officeholders as possible. Only this willy-nilly bloodletting will teach the party the hard lesson it needs to learn and mete out the punishment it deserves for accommodating Trump over the past four years. As a Soviet commissar once put it, “We must execute not only the guilty. Execution of the innocent will impress the masses even more.” These Never Trumpers, as my colleague Ramesh Ponnuru puts it, are becoming Never Republicans. Their ranks run from the estimable columnist George Will, to Charlie Sykes of the anti-Trump website The Bulwark, to the operatives of The Lincoln Project, which is now running ads against Republican senators as well as Trump." The above is from an editorial in Politico. Now everyone knows about families that have traditions of supporting one party or another come hell or high water. Military families supporting the GOP as one example. Clearly the damage that trump has done needs to be undone. His trashing of any accountability for the environment. Of the law and of any tax fairness. Of the deficit. IMO trumpism will eventually vanish but the 38% of the population that supported him will still be around. They will still want to wield a disproportionate vote due to the electoral college, gerrymandering, etc. If the lessons of trump stand as a permanent mark on the GOP thats not necessarily bad. But caution about liberal excess is necessary. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The most powerful man in the world is a lying, cheating, inept, immoral narcissist. Of course people will 'bash' him, for very good reason.

Until trump is no longer killing American people and destroying the economy. Until he no longer feeds the gaslighting flame. Expect more.Unlike you I would like America to succeed. To grow a economy that benefits all with healthy, respectful people all pulling on the same rope. You don't seem capable of posting issues arising from trump himself that benefits all Americans. I've challenged you again and again to do so. Good governance arises from policy that benefits all or a national interest. Ideas absent from trump's administration.

There was a funeral in the US today. Three ex-presidents attended. At John McCain's funeral there was two ex presidents. At trumps there will be none. Imagine the policy from a McCain-Obama government. But thats the past and perhaps a Biden/Rice government can restore America. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Russia will mourn and Putin will reminisce of how he once controlled 3/4 of all the nuclear weapons in the world. How he was the most powerful man who ever lived. Some republicans unfortunately won't get the message. but cheer up, here is the latest from the Lincoln Project. enjoy.

Sell lottery tickets for a spot on the firing squad. $100 a pop. Add in the PPV revenue, you'd likely recover most of the debt Trump incurred. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
