on MSNBC. They're discussing Jr's tweeting & him dissing Comey's character. Her quote:
"...but for a guy who kills baby elephants for kicks to be giving James Comey a lesson on strength of character is rich at best and pathetic at worst."
Ouch!

(962 posts)...I asked you about D2S. So, Trump, Jr. is D2S2!
None of the Trumps have ever been responsible citizens. I read this morning that Eric said that his father's critics aren't even human. What a group of losers.

(81,322 posts)I find Junior to be utterly revolting. The sight of him makes me want to vomit. HIDEOUS excuse for a human being.

(22,037 posts)They better put country before party for the rest of their lives. Both of them realize the dark and dangerous places Senator McCain's presidential campaign took them. That they've had the introspection to understand this makes them bad Republicans but good Americans.
Remember, they brought prominence to that woman from Alaska.

(20,998 posts)...however, the Repulicans ARE NOT GOING AWAY. I would prefer that there are at least a few somewhat rational voices.
I admit "republiheroes" is a bit hyperbolic.

(81,322 posts)He's another one who SEEMS, at least FOR NOW, to have seen the light.
But that's ONLY for the moment.
He's GOP. Therefore, at the very mitochondrial level, he can't be completely trusted.

(34,490 posts)I've been listening to Frum lately and I've had flashbacks thinking he was a republican. What happened?

(4,533 posts)Most of us are pretty much hacks, buying the party line, left or right. Me included. But Frum always has solid reasons for his views. Whenever I disagree with Frum, or conservative appellate judge Richard Posner, I realize there is a good chance I am the one who is mistaken. We really need to consider what these two conservatives say.

(90,714 posts)They don't have to be Democrats. Nicolle won me over when I read her account about trying to educate Sarah Palin, and even more during last year's campaign. Steve Schmidt -- that part last year when he talked about the Constitution, the separate branches of government, what good governance is supposed to be -- how Trump could not possibly do it -- and choked up. I was tearing up with him. Both of them love this country and want the best for it and all of us. They get it. The rest is just details.

PoindexterOglethorpe
(25,862 posts)They didn't give a flying fuck if she was remotely qualified to be Vice-President. All they cared about was "Gamechanger!!!" As if that somehow mattered.
Plus, quite frankly McCain himself was such a horror show. I don't understand why anyone with an ounce of integrity could have worked on his campaign. It does not appear as if either one of them has actually stood up to the Republican Party in any meaningful way.
To get a good insight into just how delusional Wallace is, read her novel "Eighteen Acres". The first female President is a Republican, so it's squarely in the realm of fantasy or science fiction. When that President's husband is unfaithful to her, she gets nothing but sympathy from the entire country. And at the end, now that she's won re-election, she's going to nominate her Press Secretary (another woman) to be Secretary of State. Whoa. How to pick really qualified people. Not.
She's written two other books but I can't bring myself to even take a look at them.
Hamlette
(15,412 posts)and since she has been reasonable.
She might even become one of us, give them time. Once they have seen that the people on our side are not the jerks the GOP paints us as, they might keep going left.
Awsi Dooger
(14,565 posts)Both smart and articulate and devastating to Trump. I concede I didn't follow them when they worked for McCain's campaign so they received mostly a fresh start from me last year. Perhaps undeserved but I'm not going to research as opposed to appreciating their current themes.
Ed Rollins as pundit on CNN years ago would offer lots of interesting perspective, without absurdly slanting everything toward his side.
The two worst ever were last year on CNN.

(1,078 posts)Obama asked Comey about the Russian interference of the election many times. But despiteTrump had far more meeting with Comey over a shorter time. Yet didn't ask about Russian interference once. She was p*ssed.
Upthevibe
(8,053 posts)she had to deal with her to get her up to speed and then resigned because Palin was such a nightmare; and then she didn't vote! I didn't see it but am thrilled she brought up the disgusting hunting issue. And Greta just needs to make enough money to pay for her Scientology courses....that's a whole other nightmare!!
