Republicans do not seem to want to be held responsible

[gotsnowgotslush]

2008 Republicans shouted about jobs.

2016 Guess, who is shouting about jobs ?

Despite the mountain of problems GW Bush left behind, and constant Republican interference and obstruction, President Obama managed to find some jobs.

Why bother presenting a Republican candidate for president, that could get elected ?

Every possible mechanism to aid an international corporation's interests, have been put into place.

The military industrial complex is set up for perpetual enrichment.

The NRA is too big too fail.

Why change the perception of Republicans as the crusaders battling against the unwanted "Other" ?

Republicans will not have to do something about America's problems, while there are minorities to demonize, LBGT to persecute, or slut shaming, protecting gun profits, Democrats to drag to the pillory...

 

[RUlookingup]

Are you quite done?

 

[Hard_Rom]

Who will they blame for the Trump nomination? Apparently many are not happy about it. Someone must be at fault. Probably the minorities, gays, Democrats and liberals who forced them to nominate Trump as their version of MAD.

[gotsnowgotslush]

Someone has stepped forward.

This man is taking responsibility.

The GOP is about to do something horrible.

They cannot claim they knew nothing


“I put lipstick on a pig,” he said. “I feel a deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is.” He went on, “I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization.”


"People are dispensable and disposable in Trump’s world.” If Trump is elected President, he warned, “the millions of people who voted for him and believe that he represents their interests will learn what anyone who deals closely with him already knows—that he couldn’t care less about them.”


"thug"

"...pathologically impulsive and self-centered."

"He has no attention span.”

"Sociopath"

"...a stunning level of superficial knowledge and plain ignorance.”

“...essentially threw a fit.”

"...driven entirely by a need for public attention. “

"...e is just hateful or, worse yet, a one-dimensional blowhard.”

"...has the ability to convince himself that whatever he is saying at any given moment is true, or sort of true, or at least ought to be true."

(What is the quote, that concerns self deception ? )


“He lied strategically. He had a complete lack of conscience about it.”

"Whenever “the thin veneer of Trump’s vanity is challenged, he overreacts—"


"...insatiable hunger for “money, praise, and celebrity.”


"He’s a living black hole!”


"completely compulsive"

"if not reprehensible, at least morally questionable.”


“He’d like people when they were helpful, and turn on them when they were not.
"He's a transactional man—it was all about what you could do for him.”"

"Donald pisses ice water."

- Roy Cohn, Mr.HWMNBN's lawyer

"The notion that he’s a self-made man is a joke."

"He was on a total run of complete and utter self-absorption. It’s kind of like now.”

http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/20...iter-tells-all

gsgs comment-

It has been confirmed. MR. HWMNBN is not the man he presents himself as being.

The man who invented Mr. HWMNBN's image, has come forward to say it is all lies and a cover up of the monster that has deceived America.

G.W. Bush may have been an arse hole, but at least he has an inner life, and an intellect.

[gotsnowgotslush]

The highest intellects in the room had forgotten something.
Anyone can become President of the United States.

"I had landed on (Mr. HWMNBN's) long and esteemed list of haters and losers — spanning decades, stretching from Wharton to Wall Street to the Oval Office — who have ridiculed him, rejected him, dismissed him, mocked him, sneered at him, humiliated him — and, now, propelled him all the way to the Republican presidential nomination."


"..it was Spy that first began referring to the businessman as a “short-fingered vulgarian”

"... rude and classless and desperate for attention, and didn’t know how to behave well.”

Trump’s alter ego boasted that in addition to living with (Marla) Maples, Trump had “three other girlfriends.”


https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...ac99ec-16fe-11e6-aa55-670cabef46e0_story.html


Spy folded in the late ’90s.


"...tested the idea of a Trump 2012 presidential bid with conservative voters in Iowa and New Hampshire, but the response was disastrously, hilariously negative. "

Trump claimed to know nothing about it, but then added, “The results were very positive for Trump!”


The Rodney Dangerfield Theme - "I don't get no respect!"

"...done pretty well in life but he’s never felt respected. Nobody ever looked at him like he was a winner."
"That’s exactly who Trump has made millions off of. That’s exactly who Trump is.”

Feeding off of the resentment and anger, that he understands all too well, from his experiences with people from the upper classes-


"They make these birthers into the worst idiots.”

(No matter how much reality was thrown at the birther question, reasonable explanations would not disuade birthers.)

Barack Obama held a White House press conference to unveil his long-form birth certificate.

Trump accepts the invitation White House Correspondents’ Dinner as the honored guest of the Washington Post

"... it became agonizingly clear that Trump was not royalty in this room: He was the court jester."

President Obama's joke, written by two sharp minds

(Everyone gets roasted, at this event. The President is expected to accept the sharp digs with humor and a gracious attitude. The President keeps the game going, by trading good humored shots with others. The President is a good sport.


"But you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. And so ultimately, you didn’t blame Lil Jon or Meat Loaf. [laughter] You fired Gary Busey. [laughter] And these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night. [laughter] Well handled, sir. [laughter] Well handled.”

Trump just sat there, stone-faced, stunned, simmering — Carrie at the prom covered in pig’s blood.


(The jokes on him piled up, he gave them so much material to work with.)

Trump had not yet formulated his face-saving plan. So when a reporter caught him on his way out and asked if he liked the jokes, Trump couldn’t come up with anything to say but the truth.

“No,” he replied, unusually quiet. “Not really.”


His decision not to run had delivered, however fleetingly, that feeling of political A-list status that he so craved. Republican presidential prospects begin voyaging to Trump Tower to kiss his ring.


Trump announced his endorsement of Romney in February 2012 at his Las Vegas hotel.

(Trump did not know that the people he was interacting with, snickered, smirked and laughed behind his back.. There is no world that is more closed off and private, than Romney's. Documented in Boston.)

Trump started to catch on

"...the Romney campaign turned him down. Trump was indignant. “What, I wouldn’t say the right thing?” he told me. “Hey, I went to the Wharton School of Finance. I did great."

(No, he did not. He is revising the past. He added to his grudges.)

Donald Trump invented the fake campaign for office, not Sarah Palin ?

"the press was finally tired of being taken in."


"36 Hours On The Fake Campaign Trail With Donald Trump.”


Trump announced he had fired Nunberg.

"...future campaign managers and chief strategists for the 2016 field were openly mocking him."

When Trump finished, he set the paper down quietly on his desk.
“Why don’t they respect me, Sam?” Trump asked.

gsgs comment-

That is one long list, of people that Mr. HWMNBN has a grudge against."
What are we in for, when he finds that sitting in the President's chair, does not get him what he wants ?


Predictor of future behavior

(President Obama has not lost his composure, no matter what.)

As the date of the announcement neared, aides observed in Trump a growing agitation about his prospective presidential bid. He hemmed and hawed, talked himself in circles, changed his plans by the hour. The whole un-Trumply display kind of freaked out the employees in his orbit. “I’ve never seen him like this before,” one longtime bodyguard fretted to a colleague.

Nunberg had been fired, again


Nunberg could see that the campaign he’d spent years dreaming of had gone haywire. He was particularly alarmed by how the candidate seemed to promote violence at his rallies. “He started out as the Republicans’ Obama, and somehow it’s turned into Mussolini,” Nunberg lamented.



July 13, news broke that Trump was suing Nunberg for $10 million over breach of his confidentiality agreement by allegedly leaking dirt on the campaign to the New York Post. Nunberg had filed his own legal action against Trump in New York courts,

McKay Coppins gets an email from Mr. HWMNBN
"Just days before he was to name a running mate and be officially nominated as the Republican candidate for the president of the United States,"

All is forgiven ?

Mr. HWMNBN Twitter war continues.
He is attacking, when he should be gathering supporters.

"Kasich is under tremendous pressure to do the Party’s bidding and bow down to Trump, but he is standing tall. Kasich was the best choice for Republicans, but he lost because he’s not crazy or stupid."

PBS News Hour discussion

McConnell mentioned Hillary Clinton, many more times than Donald Trump

One thousand words, and he said Hillary Clinton's name, 24 times.


McConnell is booed before his speech, during it, and after it.
The candidates that chose to speak the truth about Trump, are paying for it, now.
Republicans at the GOP convention in Cleveland are angry that Ted Cruz has so far refused to honor the pledge he signed during the primaries to support the Republican nominee.

Convention-goers, like Rep. John Carter (R), a Texan like Cruz, say it’s past time for Cruz and the other former candidates to get on board with the party’s nominee.

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/288593-pressure-on-cruz-to-back-trump


Mitch McConnell's accusation against Hillary Cinton,

"I'm here to tell you Hillary Clinton will say anything, do anything, and be anything to get elected president"

The same applies to Trump-

Donald Trump will say anything, do anything, and be anything to get elected president.



Today Joanie Ernst has a list of negative words, to reinforce McConnel's message.

Dangerous, deceitful, dishonest.


gsgs comment-

The focus on Hillary Clinton, reminds me of the film and book, "Nineteen Eighty Four."
In the film, was a scene of people focusing their emotions and energy, on someone that the Authorities had deemed an enemy. It is required of citizens, to attend the rallies and express hatred toward the"enemy."

The one person that causes Unity, for the Trump supporters is Hillary Clinton.
Even people who have declared that they hate Trump, have said they will vote for Trump, in order to stop Hillary Clinton. At the Ohio convention, someone who did not support the persecution of Hillary Cinton, would stick out like a sore thumb.

All are in agreement about Hillary. They make it very clear, that they do not want her as President.

They had a witch trial. They had a kangaroo court.

Because of the diversity of the group's that support Trump, there are many differences and disagreements. Trump is vague about particulars. He has phrases and promises, to deflect from getting nailed down.


/end gsgs comment

Christie essentially called for the criminalization of political disagreement. You can like or dislike the Iranian nuclear deal. But helping negotiate it, and supporting it, is not a crime. Doing that is participating in statecraft. Christie suggested that bad policy should put you before a jury ready and eager to condemn you for anything they deem mistakes.

But what made Christie’s speech genuinely scary was that it was a distillation of the Republican convention so far, not an aberration from it. Both nights featured the crowd breaking into frequent, raucous chants of, "Lock her up!" Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn repeatedly stopped his own speech to echo the crowd’s call to imprison Clinton.


Jailing the presumptive Democratic nominee has been the one point of enthusiasm and consensus in a Republican convention that has otherwise been listless and unfocused, with primetime speakers frequently addressing a half-empty arena and party leaders delivering speeches that go out of their way to avoid much mention of their nominee, Donald Trump.



http://www.vox.com/2016/7/19/12233458/republican-convention-chris-christie-hillary-clinton-trial

"Clinton rules with an iron fist, and destroys anyone who gets in her way."

"We will lose free speech, the right to bear arms, our Christian- Judeo way of life."


PBS News Hour


They do not praise Donald Trump's political acumen, wisdom, or experience.
They do not praise the details of his political policies, replacements for what he disagrees with, remedies for all of the problems of the present system.

They cannot praise his past performance, because he has no history in politics, besides mock runs for political office.

There is nothing concrete and positive to praise about Trump.


The men and women who are giving speeches about what Trump will do, are building castles in the air.

They have no record that can be examined, that will tell them which way Trump could be counted on to jump.

stop smoking the obama ass juice

 

[coati]

According to Republican leaders, everything that has gone wrong since the turn of the century is the fault of Obama and Hillary, from the instability in Iraq to plagiarism in the speech recently given by Trump's wife. Their main legislative agenda between 2008 and 2012 was explicitly stated as "make Obama a one-term president", and their agenda since 2012, with control of the House and the Senate, has been to block anything he might want to accomplish as a two-term president.

Now that they have been encouraging this type of negative agenda for so long among their base, their base has responded by nominating a man who has the emotional maturity and the world view of a 14-year-old playground bully. They fostered fear and suspicion among their base for so long, that they now can't put that genie back in the bottle.

To date, I have not heard one Republican leader take responsibility for this situation. I imagine there are some who know that this is the case, but they dare not say it out loud and jeopardize "party unity". Cruz only bucked the tide because he's an egotist who wants to be President in 2020, and because Trump insulted his wife and suggested that Cruz's father was involved in the Kennedy assassination. Trump himself spent most of the Obama years constructing conspiracy theories about Obama's place of birth. You can't make this stuff up-- this is the real life account of the Republican party.

With accountability abandoned, we are witnessing the disintegration of the Republican party.

Obama has been enriching the Industrial Military complex the last 7.5 yrs. Where have you been?

The NRA is not a Bank, therefore would never be tagged as too big to fail by Obama. I mean seriously, wtf are you smoking?
