There is no Sane and Honest opponent to Trump, Why is That?

[william the wie]

And it 's not just Trump. Here in FL Sleazy Rs like Scott can, have and do rely on all D opponents to always limbo under the R's extremely low standards by enough to make the R in the statewide races the lesser evil. How and why did we end up with such a pathetic opposition party as the Ds?

Gonna take a whole village plush a shitload of screen doors, duct tape and spandex for the Left to "vamp" up a mannequin candidate capable of delivering live believable lies to run in 2020. Oh hell, no matter who the Democrats run the American people are just going to run away/

I am not sure what you mean by 'opponent'

But frankly most felons are more honest and sane than Donald Trump.

 

[Borillar]

Compared to Trump, just about everyone is "sane and honest."

Politicians are always a reflection of the society they come from. If your government is corrupt it means your culture and society is, too. Might as well snivel about the sky being blue or having five fingers.

Going way out on a limb here but I'd guess it's because there's no election going on.

Kinda need an election to have "opponents".

Except all of the Ds that make the news

Democrats are stuck; most of the 'insiders' they can 'trust' to cover the Party's criminal activities are all dirty and the not sellable to the public, and no decent 'outsider' would be caught dead running for them and their sociopathic treason and organized criminal operations. Trump has almost single-handedly shut down and destroyed any credibility their media shills once might have had, so they can't launch any expensive PR campaigns building up any candidate, that's automatically doomed to fail.

How are they going to overcome that? Their fake 'investigations' are now a total bust as well, their base is just a collection of antagonistic mentally ill psychos who are splitting as we speak.

Got it.

There are no rational Democrats.

Could it be you are looking at the world through very red tinted glasses so to say William?

Nonsense.

Trump is the worst, by far.

My perspective is the norm here in FL and AL, MS and GA

Democrats who demonstrate signs of sanity or adult behavior are purged immediately fro the Party. This is a fact, not sarcasm or exaggeration. there are literally none even in local leadership posts, at least not in the DFW Metroplex area or Houston. They're 100% Loon Run and proud of it.

Oh, it might be the 60% norm there. 45% vs 46% nationally. I was at a white power meeting where it would be 95% the norm.

Ey, for the CDZ here, what part of calling people insane did you think applies? It might, this topic has been up for a bit. Your liberal bending f the rules is noted.

I am not sure what you mean by "frankly." Does it mean that you usually lie? If so, I agree.

Are you illiterate? "Compared to" refers to similarities, not differences.

 

[william the wie]

This is going to be a nail biting election

 

[sartre play]

We have allowed to many snake oil salesmen to run our country, they don't want, we don't want anyone willing to work together for the betterment of all.

Wait.....you mean global warming *isn't* a hoax by the Chinese and Trump *didn't* win the popular vote?

Whoa.

 

[Skylar]

The GOP has been actively encouraging their party members to embrace conspiracy theories for many, many years. Trump just out batshitted them.

They alluded to how Obama wasn't 'American like we are".....Trump straight up embraced the birther conspiracy with both arms.

There are election integrity 'investigations' going back to at least the Bush/Cheney years with rumors of election fraud.

Trump goes full tin-foil and insists that its a 'rigged election', there were 3 to 5 million 'illegal votes' and that he actually won the popular vote.....something that republicans have actually managed to do just once in the last 30 years.

Point for point, Trump just dialed the conspiracy batshit to 11. And a conservative base primed to hate 'liberals', despise 'the media', and distrust science just gobbled it up. Now they are balls deep in hairbrained 'deep state' conspiracies, 'witch hunt' delusions and accepting that 'no' actually means 'yes', while 'would' really means 'wouldn't'.

As long as the conservative base remains this damaged......its just going to be an endless succession of snake oil salesmen selling them conspiracy tonics, goos and potions.

I think the GOP took a page from the New Democratic party of the 70's. Formerly everything was a CIA conspiracy. Now maybe the GOPers are smoking better dope? Maybe its a publicity thing the GOP thinks they missed out on in '74? Maybe its a tea party thing? It isn't the worst Public Relations move in the world. It gets ppl reading.
