Republicans Launch New Offensive to Take Down Donald Trump

[Fanatical Meat]

Her hair isn't that bad but it looks a bit harsh she needs something to soften her look.

I'm not a twitter guy but her page is interesting. Apparently Trump followers like to tweet too.

I do like how she proudly states this:

Just another example of why PACs should be killed.

Apologies for quoting myself.
Nobody finds this odd? Trump essentially says he'll sue any organization for slander but she laughs it off because the law is different for PACs than Campaigns.

See how far the left has pushed these people?

If you're serious this is the dumbest thing you've ever said here and that is saying something.

Let's be honest what the fuck this is though. These are corporate lobbyists that are like "Oh shit, someone that doesn't need to blow a bunch of corporations is in the lead! We gotta do something about this so the next candidate will pass all kind of laws in our favor!".

Regardless of his stupid ranting and questionable ethics, that element is refreshing - in addition to being HIGHLY desired.

Agreed in that they are shitting their pants over sunshine who can't be controlled.

This is so hilarious. For years they fostered this extremist culture. Then a candidate that fits that culture comes forward they cant control it. So they have to try and kill it.

as much as I can't stand him, I do like that he brought this more into the light. Superpac's, citizens united, it's all a sham to further entrench corporations into the govt.

Liz Mair is a hack. She'll likely fail just as she did with Walker.

Only thing she has succeeded at is achieving the worst hair cut in politics. Hideous.

That thick manly neck, broad shoulders, sharply cut facial features......it just doesn't match that 'doo that Justin Bieber would simply die for. For her looks, a buzz cut would be more appropriate IMO. Or maybe a retro mullet......IDK. I think she should go to a barber shop rather than a hair dresser. But maybe that's what she's already doing to save a buck or two.

He is a perfect example of what the Repub Party has re-purposed itself into. He is the guy that represents the core attitude and beliefs of their base, a base that had its attitudes and behaviors shaped by years and years of hate and fear-filled propaganda that the RNC crammed into their heads every chance they could take advantage of. Trump's poll numbers prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Trump is saying all those things that the RNC itself has for years ingrained its constituents with. The only problem with that is that Trump has managed to grasp control over the base constituency that the RNC has been indoctrinating ever since Obama took office. They belong to Trump now, and the RNC must be totally freaking out over their loss of control of their base to a guy that they also have practically no control over.

In a very narrowly defined way, Trump's charisma, his timing and his willingness to exploit a demographic that has been whipped up into a frenzy of fear and hate reminds me of another guy who did just that.

it's not the haircut. it's the fact she looks like a man.

It's remarkable that you'd notice that the culture of the Repub base is extreme. I'm sure it's a lot harder to see from the inside than from the outside.

Repub leaders have fostered extremism for decades, not years. And they've strung along the rubes all the while, promising to deliver on a variety of hopeless causes, key elements in the culture war. They spice it up with overblown scandals while pandering to fear & pride.

At this point, however, elements of the base are in rebellion, propped up by big anonymous money from far right billionaires. They want the leadership to deliver on those hopeless causes. They realize they're being strung along. Witness the Tea Party. What they have yet to recognize is that their quest is Quixotic.

Enter Trump who's essentially using standard Repub tactics against the leadership, feeding on discontent. He's stealing their base.

Traditional Repub leaders are caught in an extreme bind. On one hand, they know full well that moving further right, what the malcontents want, will destroy the party at the national level. On the other, they can't escape the results of their own efforts to create an irrational base. They can't deny the results of their own failed economic policy either. That's a discussion they'll avoid at all costs.

Hence Benghazi & the rest of it.

Meh. Her appearance is immaterial.

huh?

i was commenting specifically on her appearance. I don't know who she is. I don't follow twitter, and i didn't read the thread.

And i stand by my statement. the haircut is whatever. it could be good on a cute girl. the fact she has the facial structure and neck of a man is what spoils her overall look.

i love how no one ever comments on how male commentators look but all people talk about with women is how they look. Its pretty sad.

Too true. Sometimes people notice the absurd lengths some men will go to in projecting an image. Like this-

How anybody could vote for a man so vain says more about America than I really want to know.

.... I'm a strait male. i tend not to look at how men look. >.>

Of course I'm going to look at how a woman looks. I don't even know what the fuck she's commenting about. I don't care.

 

[Fayd]

3/4 profile shots are flattering on anybody.

The discussion isn't about her as a sex object.

Imagine that you were so vain that you actually overcame your need for vanity by achieving success beyond your wildest dreams. Imagine that you mined your ego for riches beyond measure. Imagine that you had so much personal wealth and not just money but had become a living legend. Where would you go next. When I look at myself, having achieved all those things, what I see is the poverty of others and a desire that everybody be a winner like me. If you imagined things in that way perhaps you could see a side of Trump that would otherwise be invisible.

What we would have to worry about in a case like that, in my opinion, are those things about Trump that he might still doubt about himself, for example that being an American is the greatest thing one can be. We would want to worry that he might have some inferiority complex in that area that might tend to cause an animus toward, say, Mexicans and Muslims. One only transcends nationalistic feelings when one isn't absolutely convinced to the point of irrelevance, that whatever one is doesn't matter because nobody else is better.

Something to consider.........

discussing physical appearance <> looking at as sex object.

We're reading about this - surely Trump has knowledge of this. If the Republicans use a Super pac to kill his nomination, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump said that the Republicans didn't play fair - point out the advertising done by the Republican party to defeat him, and run on the Independent ticket on a platform of getting rid of the Pacs, just to screw over the Republican party. He would likely garner more votes than Perot did.

I think the Republicans are between a rock and a hard place.

The US really needs some more viable Political Parties. I think the only way to do that would be to get rid of the Primary Process. Turn Political Parties into Private organizations completely in control of their own selection processes. The Primary Process gives too much control to the 2 parties, blocking others from ever having a chance.

I might be missing something though. However, that's how it appears to me.

The whole idea makes me feel warm & tingly because the Repub party deserves this. They earned it from decades of sticking their dicks in the crazy & makin' 'em even crazier.

Didn't we already try that?

Isn't that where the term Political Boss came from?

Smoke filled rooms where the fat cats (not the voters) decided who the candidates would be?
