A British Reporter

I do hope rubato isn't too upset that his president is spoken of in this way.

And this is from someone who doesn't even have skin in the game and can sit back along the sidelines and see how this plays out.
Imagine how the poor bastards that are going to be the targets of this small-handed sodomite will react once his indiscriminate buttfucking of the American people moves into high gear.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

He is proof positive that there is no level of morality and competence which is so low that Republicans will fail to vote for a Republican en masse.

Mitt Romney had a fleeting moment of clarity when he denounced Trump as unfit but the minute someone told him that there was something he wanted and it was secreted between T-rump's butt cheeks Mitty was down on his knees trying to tongue-fish it out.

An action which proves him to be well into T-rump's league for loathsomeness.

LMAO!!! :lol:

How many times has rube had it explained to him that many Republicans did not vote for Trump, and that Trump couldn't possibly have won the election with only Republican votes anyway?

Five? Six? I've lost count...

But the Republicans nominated him, and put him in the position to become president of the United States. And that in 100% on them.

Not with my help they didn't... I got involved helping an organization (made up of Republicans) that was trying to deny him the nomination even after he had gotten the delegate votes to win it, (in fact I was involved with other Republicans trying to get him off the ticket even as late as a month before the election)

Also of course, Trump won the nomination with more than 50% of Republican primary and caucus voters voting against him...


But if you really want to play the "100% on them" game, I suppose it's also worth pointing out that the Democrats managed to nominate someone who could lose to Donald Trump....

And that is 100% on them... :P

I agree with rubato that Mitt Romney's capitulation to Trump in hopes of a job was the end of his credibility, even though I rooted for him to get SoS. He should have known Trump was just toying with him for revenge, and he should have led the loyal opposition instead - because he should have been unwilling to work for a man he described so harshly & accurately as utterly unfit to serve.

The numbers prove all by themselves that nearly all Republicans voted for T-rump. He was only elected because of that fact.

Very few stayed home or voted for a different candidate.

Yes rube, I'm aware of those numbers, (and of course I am in that non-Trump voting 11%) but here's a fact that I'm sure you won't acknowledge, but is nevertheless less true...

After Trump was nominated, those responding to pollsters as "self-described Republicans" include a substantial number of people who previously would not have identified themselves as Republicans except for the fact that Trump was the Republican nominee, and do not include a substantial number of long-time Republican voters who chose to identify themselves as independents because Trump was the nominee....
