A chivalrous and honorable southern gentleman no doubt.

New disclosures about lewd Trump video reveal his mastery of the GOP

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...s-mastery-gop/

Politico Magazine has published an excerpt from a forthcoming book about Trump and the GOP by journalist Tim Alberta. In it, Alberta reports the following:

After the tape became public, scores of top Republican lawmakers, donors and activists — far more than did so publicly — privately urged then-Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus to push Trump out and replace him with Vice President Pence at the top of the ticket. This included then-House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Pence hunkered down and prayed with his wife, Karen, who furiously warned him that she would no longer appear in public if Pence remained Trump’s running mate. Pence hinted to advisers that he might have to stop campaigning with Trump.

But the key revelation is what happened next. At the next debate with Hillary Clinton, Trump ferociously attacked back, blasting Bill Clinton’s history with women and even threatening to unleash law enforcement on Hillary Clinton, saying that with him as president, Clinton would “be in jail.”

Alberta recounts what then transpired:

Within 48 hours the bleeding had stopped: Republicans ceased their calls for his withdrawal, Pence dutifully returned to the stump and his campaign went on as though nothing had happened.


With this, Trump displayed a remarkable, if perhaps instinctual, grasp of how to survive in today’s GOP. While he did issue a video apology, what really rescued Trump was going ferociously on the attack, which crucially included threatening to put the real enemy in prison.

Fucking GOP is deathly afraid of Donny. Bunch of cowards, without backbones or principles.

Why Bill Barr Is So Dangerous
He is using the office he holds to advance his extraordinary lifetime project of assigning unchecked power to the president.

'RACIST AND DISGUSTING': EX GOP CONGRESSMAN JUSTIN AMASH BLASTS TRUMP AFTER HE SAYS CONGRESSWOMEN SHOULD 'GO BACK' TO THEIR COUNTRIES

https://www.newsweek.com/racist-disg...-trump-1449164

The only good Repube is a former Repube.

Donny proves yet again that he’s a repulsive racist and xenophobe. Cowardly Repubes say nothing. Sickening.

Don't like the word xenophobe. Too fancy, lacks punch. 'Bigoted hater' seems a better descriptive to me....

I prefer 'POS racist peckerwood', personally.

Really? Scalise Claims GOP ‘Never Disrespected The Office’ Under Obama

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/s...d-office-obama

Scalise apparently forgot the infamous moments when former Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) shouted “You lie!” at Obama in the middle of a joint session of Congress, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) declaring that the “single most important thing” for the GOP to achieve is making Obama a “one-term president,” and the many congressional Republicans either openly touting Trump’s birther conspiracy theory or declining to reject it.

Lying is just second nature to these pond scum Repubes.

What do Republicans stand for in 2019?
