Has Trump destroyed the Republican Party

[kaz]

OK, Republicans seem to have been trying to destroy the party for decades. But seriously. I live in one of the ultimate swing States, North Carolina. And the Republicans are broke. McCrory is running for Governor, Burr is running for Senate, and Trump is running for President. And I see zero from any of them in terms of ads. I've seen about 2 Trump ads, ever, none for weeks. None for Burr ever. And I saw regular McCrory ads ... a month ago ... and nothing since.

Trump was going to fund his campaign, but he left the rest of them out to dry. Now he seems to have left himself out to dry too. So, WTF. Have Republicans just cashed it in?

Yes Trump has destroyed the Republican party--but he is really the secondary source of this destruction.

The primary source of this destruction comes from FOX News and right wing talk show hosts that have directed their midget minions into a war against Establishment Republicans aka Reaganites. They have attacked and eaten their own--shattering the Republican party into pieces, with 3 or more daily hours of right wing hyperbole , half truths and all out lies. They do it for political entertainment, ratings and those obscene profit breaks, not truth or full disclosure. Their motus of operende is to leave out critical facts to swing a story to the right, to keep their right wing audiences at a certain level of hysteria over topics of interest. They were extremely successful at convincing their audiences that there is no other trusted news sources, henceforth this group of people have been living in a conservative media bubble for a couple of decades. The end result of this? The Republican party has been reduced into a book of conspiracy theories for DUMMIES.
Donald Trump broke the conservative media

If Trump were a candidate in 2008 or earlier he would have been laughed at and ridiculed off of the stage. This anger started in 2008/2009 era with the rise of the Tea Party and exploded after Obamacare. Right wing talk show hosts, and Tea Party politicians invaded the political scene making all kinds of promises to other angry Republicans. Tea Party politicians, like Ted Cruz also took advantage of a lower intelligence group, with phony impossible campaign promises, and he too attacked Establishment Republicans. This road lead right up to DONALD TRUMP in 2016 who has also exploited their ignorance.

Here is a great example.



If these right wing talk show hosts still exist after the Republican party gets hit with a 200' High Tsunami on election night--I doubt the Republican party of Lincoln or Reagan will ever be back.

As G.W. Bush stated he fears that he may be the LAST Republican President, and he may very well be right.

OK, you want a Republican party that is identical to the Democrat party. So if you're successful in getting that, then what difference does it make anyway to have one party or two that are exactly the same, Comrade?

The Republican party destroyed itself long before Trump came along.

I partially agree. They sure haven't done themselves any favors. But the reality that the greedy leftists breed like rabbits and people aren't that smart and believe the leftist media. The deck is stacked against the message of self sufficiency when Democrats keep saying success is free and the media keeps saying they are right

You people need to see who the rich are funding. They are funding state house and senate Republicans. They realize they can get more done at the state level.

Republicans seem to think the rich and corporations shouldn't have to pay what we've always agreed was a fair share.

We catch guys like trump not paying their fair share yet you still defend them.

You are so full of shit, you smell like an outhouse

Because you are unaware? Ok idiot

Only you socialists "always agreed" the "rich and corporations" paid a fair share. We've been overtaxed all my lifetime. Where the fuck do you come up with that Communist crap that you shouldn't have to pay taxes, just we should pay them?

Er, no.

Despite the Republican base going Full Retard in this election, the Republican Party is an incredibly enduring institution, regardless of those "conservatives" who want it destroyed.

Just wait for 2018. Low voter turnout almost always favors the GOP because there base votes every two years.

I heard the other day conservatives are the majority in the GOP but liberals are a minority in the democratic party.

There are nothing but liberals in the Democrat party. Just for fun, name some non-liberal Democrats ...

Hillary and Obama. Remember they are in wallstreet pocket? Remember GE owns Obama?

Some days you argue there's no difference between the two parties and some days you argue different.

Example: Bernie is liberal but hillary is not.

And for the record, don't you say none of the guys who ran for the GOP nominee are conservatives? Rinos???

Actually, I argue there are liberals and non-liberals in the Republican party. The problem is the liberals seem to always win the disagreement, which is why I left the party circa 1990.

And OK, so now we're getting somewhere. What are the positions Hillary has that separate her from Bernie and make her a non-liberal? No sweeping statements, be specific

Fascists have taken over the democrat party.....

True, but BooBoo doesn't know what a fascist actually is, so he won't get that

You don't either fool! Bush was a fascist

I always said that. Think you got me on that one? LOL. Yeah, Holmes, W is totally a fascist, just like his old man. Obama said he was a socialist, not a fascist, but he's served as a fascist. Hillary's totally a fascist

Bush was a progressive, unlike your Obama who's is a dyed in the wool fascist....

Since W and Obama had the same policies, I don't get how one can be a fascist and not the other.

BTW, fascist and progressive are not mutually exclusive, not at all

 

[Seawytch]

I think some people need a reminder of the Dictionary definition of Fascists...

1. often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

So just stop already.

If you are rich or a corporation, don't expect us to agree with the way you'd like things to be. That's the great thing about democracy. He who has the most money still only gets one vote.

What I want is capitalism, which just means economic freedom. So yeah, I'm aware we're not going to agree. You want handouts

I think you have to further define handouts. W was a fiscal and for policy disaster, but he did bring the gop to the ultimate Reagan question: do we privitize soc sec. Reagan raised taxes to avoid that, although that was probably pragmatism over ideology. W presented the question to the electorate and lost. The gop then presented the question of the fed govt having no role in making sure all Americans had health care, and again lost .... badly.

Trump has no ideology beyond a quasi-racist white view of being imposed upon. And that's not entirely without a basis, but it's not ideology to base govt upon. Most likely he takes his 40% an declining base to replace Fox news ... and is not a real political player, and in reality never has been one.

the question for the gop is simply what is the conservative agenda in a nation where the populace wants the gummit to find a way to make sure people can retire and have healthcare while they work.

And you want to change the social contract we've had in this country from back before you were even living in your daddy's balls.

I understand you are a Koch kind of guy. A dickhead. Greedy.

Stupid shit like your second paragraph is why I just don't take you seriously.

And capitalism is choice. Social Security ("privatized" or not), government healthcare are not economic freedom no matter how you slice it. Your retirement and healthcare are your job, not mine

Social contract, LOL, socialists love that crap. And yeah, I want money I earned, I'm "greedy." You want money you didn't, nothing wrong there ... You're a dependency whore

All I know is you became successful under the system I like and now you want to change the rules.

You want to change the atmosphere that allowed you to be successful.

Even trump benefitted from bankruptcy laws to become a multi millionaire. So he used the government. He should owe the billion he lost in 1995.

Republicans love big government
