Cheney & Harris in Ripon WI

Post by BoSoxGal »



The event starts at 28:00, so just fast forward to there by dragging the bar. If a better edit posts online I'll share it here; I really recommend watching these speeches from the birthplace of the Republican Party, if you didn't watch live.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

I'm a Wisconsin boy, born and bred, currently located about an hour and a half away from Ripon — and all I've got to say is that the Republican Party as it exists today is a far fuckin' cry away from the organization that came out of the Little White Schoolhouse in the 1850s.   Harris and the Dems have much more in common with the Republicans who put Abraham Lincoln into the White House in the 1860 election than anybody who wears the GOP/MAGA label today.

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

Lincoln? I think Hoover or Goldwater or Reagan would be completely baffled if they knew what Trump claims to be republican principles.
