so, right! Good luck with the Republican Party going forward. It's now the Trump party and I don't recognize it. Just concerning.OsoCoreyell said:
In 2012, the Republican Party nominated one of the most qualified and incredibly moderate candidates possible. He selected another moderate for his running mate. With the knowing assistance of virtually all of the national news media, the Democrat party of the US slandered Romney and Ryan as arch-conservatives, racists, sexists and bigots. This was the logical extension of the same treatment of every moderate Republican to run for the Presidency since 1988, though the extreme difference between the rhetoric used against Romney and Ryan and the reality of their political leanings was more extreme than had ever been used before.
As a result, the portions of the party that were capable of nominating moderates quite predictably lost power, and a reactionary/populist coalition with an extreme antipathy for the dishonest and unfair treatment by the media ascended. The results were incredibly predictable. Welcome to 2020, dip****s.

When the GOP nominates middle of the road establishment swamp creature type candidates they almost always lose. Examples include Gerald Ford, Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney. Even George H.W. Bush managed to not get re-elected when he couldn't run on Reagan's coattails. The previously popular notion that the GOP has to run a flaming moderate establishment insider type so they can capture enough of the independent vote to win is and always has been a myth.OsoCoreyell said:

Just about every time you think the dems can't sink any lower, there are always multiple people there to exclaim "somebody hold my beer!". If dems in general had at least half of a brain they would've nominated Tulsi Gabbard. While she's still a lib and wouldn't be a good POTUS, she at least comes across as not being completely out of her mind and/or suffering from the onset of dementia. She's furthermore generally likeable/attractive and the dems could play the identity politics game they love to play by touting the "first woman POTUS" thing all over again. There's a chance she could sway a lot of independent votes that neither Biden nor Sanders are going to sway (and probably Cuomo won't either if he swoops in at the last minute). I still think Trump would get re-elected, but that matchup would likely be a far tougher one for him. What energy there is in the dem party is so far off the map left, however, that even somebody like her isn't enough of a Marxist to get a real look. Sad and tragic all at the same time, but it does make it easier for Trump to win.Limited IQ Redneck in PU said:
The dems ran the worst candidate in the history of democracy and she still got a huuuge number of votes. More than the democrat turned republican candidate.received.. I am not sure the dems can find a worse candidate than their last offering.

Yep. These have been the two most depressing elections of my lifetime so far. It's really an indictment of our awful primary system that these are the best candidates our two major parties can come up with.BaylorOkie said:

He was and is a great huckster.
In business, he could just declare bankruptcy and walk away.
Can't do that with governance.
It's delusional to think Trump has been nothing but an epic fail in this moment of crisis.

Florda why do you lie? I have never voted for a democrat above the county level. You on the other hand have worked for democrats campaigns. You walked the street and sold the democratic program.

According to a September 2019 poll, 13% of Americans trust the media "a great deal," and 28% "a fair amount". 69% of Democrats, 15% of Republicans, 36% of independents trust media.
In short, 2/3 Democrats trust Democrats to tell Democrat lies and call it news. 1/3 independents and 1/6 Republicans feel the same way.
Trump helped create that by drawing out the media and forcing them to demonstrate out in the light of day just how little integrity they have.

The Daily Caller is a font of disinformation and lunacy.

What poll? Daily Caller?
Republicans don't like the medial because they keep telling them things they don't want to hear.
Supposedly, the coronavirus was a media hoax.
How's that working out for you?
