Forehead Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I wish anytime McConnell opened his mouth, people would just say "So about Merrick Garland?" I know it annoys him, I've seen him raise his voice once defending himself over that. Just bring it up constantly. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Republican leadership is afraid of the Trump base. That is all there is to it. Issue after issue they will accidentally let slip how insane Trump is, and then it usually takes 24 hours or less for them to do a 180 reversal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moral to the story, McConnell is an a-hole.  Everytime he opens his mouth, it just blows my mind how awful he is. How can anybody support this guy?  Still better than Hillary!  #EmailsBenghaziPizzaGateSethRichFast&FuriousClintonMurdersFMLKILLMENOW  15 minutes ago, Cooked Crack said: Party of Trump.  Sometimes I'm genuinely unsure of whether McConnell or Trump have been worse for this country. Trump is an easy case to make because he's such an overt and fast moving disaster in real time, but McConnell has been a really slow, steady, and persistent source of awfulness for a very long time so that case can be made as well.

McConnell. Trump may get there, but McConnell's policies have led to the hyperpartisanship, composition of the Supreme Court, and indescribable amounts of debt and other damage... all for the sake of keeping his party in power.

He'll still tell his mouth breathers to go at the GOP for not supporting him better. They are screwed either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what you think is worse, someone who sneaks into the China shop once every couple days and steals something thereby causing the business to slowly lose revenue and leaves the back door unlocked when he leaves, or the bull who comes in the open back door and ruins the whole inventory all at once.

He's imagining a giant wall with a plaque with his name on it like he did on the embassy in Israel where his name is the biggest text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's completely symbolic. It could be the wall, it could be gun rights, it could be a goddamn badminton net for all he cares. The important part is that it's something that riles up his base and he knows that if he doesn't follow through (or more accurately, at least keep up the illusion of following through) they'll turn on him or at the very least not be as adoring of him as they were. And THAT would be absolute anathema to him. He cannot survive without that attention and adoration and he absolutely cannot deal with criticism.  With Trump you have to forget about the whole "POTUS" thing insofar as it applies to a president ostensibly having the national interest as the first priority, and instead focus on "what does this do for Trump personally?".

(and be it clear,, not right leaning people in general.. just folks who support what we are seeing now. This isn't even American politics anymore. You and I agree on much mor than we disagree on, for example. I don't see you as a frothing Trumpster, always respect.) Â The rest.. too old for revolution unless they come to my door.
