Uh... you can say the 47% is apolitical blunder.. no argument there...
Trump, Clint, having a stand against what Fluke wanted (even if an ENTERTAINER like Rush said stupid stuff) are not really 'political blunders'
Dems ALWAYS try and pander to the entitlement crowd and paint Reps as 'insensitive'
I gave you the actual 'lowlight' on the political side.. You gave a bunch of fluff crap and tried to make it as a Rep issue
While Trump, Clint and Rush are not elected officials they did help solidify the impression that Republicans are out of touch and insenitive and borderline crazy. Clint was making a joke but the timing was unfortunate. The empty chair grabbed headlines away from Mitts acceptance speech and was delivered minutes before Mitt took the stage....definitely stole Mitts thunder
Trump and Rush are embraced by the crazy radical fringe of the party. The unwillingness of the major GOP candidates to distance themselves allowed dems to paint them as sympathetic. The birthers are mostly just humorous nutcases. But Rush's vicious attack on Fluke and much of the party rallying around him hurt with woman voters
No.. it was all entertainment and entertainment media spin and attention... It was not any political move... thanks for playing
Stop focusing on Trump and Rush or Beck or Savage or whomever else.... you want to talk the politics, stick to the actual politics
If it was just "entertainment" it had a major impact on the political scene. The massive swing of single women away from the Republican Party was a significant event. To think that Rush Limbaugh and the reaction of the extreme right had no impact on that swing is short sighted
