Now the Mooch...


Number9

Recommended Posts

Why don't more repubs with big voices stand up?  Mitt Romney told people before the election.  The Bush family distanced themselves, but have yet to take a stand for decency.   "we the people" is us.  It's not "we the white people"  It was "we the people" in WWII.  It was "we the people in Korea."  It was "we the people in Viet Nam."  It continues to be "we the people in the middle east."

 

There are a lot of people who post on here who don't really understand the strength of America.

It's about the money, every serving GOP official who is up for reelection would be cut off from party backed funding and a lot of PAC money if they publicly come out against the president; he controls the party apparatus, for better or worse. Romney is wealthy and has a huge in state organization where he's really popular, so he has more wiggle room.

At some point, it's going to have to be about country.

The Mooch was still a Trump butt monkey even after getting fired. He was forced to turn on Trump just this last weekend because Trump attacked him. It’s all about what’s best for himself.

 

Same is true for anyone in the GOP. People running for office can’t turn on Trump if they want to win an election because Trump supporters dominate the GOP.

When and why did Trump attack him?

He went on Bill Maher's show and criticized Trump related to the shootings, even though he still supported him in general. Then Trump blasted him and there was no going back.

I would not word it the same.  I would say he stood up and criticized Trump for his post shooting comments, which I feel is him saying the shootings were wrong.  Trump attacked him, so he went even further and said what many decent repubs are already saying.  It is going to take decent people to have the courage to say they are not in agreement with a lot of his tough talk against immigrants and people of different so-called races than his.

 

I liked Trump's talk about draining the swamp.  I refuse to feel bad for changing my mind when he starts attacking different races.  Trump's words have changed a lot since the primaries.  The worse thing that could happen is for dems to not allow Trumps supporters to have a change of heart.

Trump’s tweeting now is no different than what it was when he was elected. What changed for the Mooch? It can’t be that he got fired. That was 2 years ago, and he only just now started speaking out. 

It is worse. Also, he didn’t have to make comments about Charlottesville or the day after shootings. Often, usually presidents try to be potus of all the people and bring the country together. Now we have a mass shooter with writings saying he was inspired by potus.

The religious right has for a long time lost the "moral authority" argument for leadership.  We're talking a generation.  They've shown themselves to be anti-Christ-like.  Not the bogey man, just not Christ-like.  

 

It will take a generation for the moral party to be back, and their numbers following this are going to be low. 

 

Trump will not only be a stain for the religious right, but the GOP in general.  They know it, but won't be able to admit it.
