Kicked the conservative base in the teeth.

Please add your own to the list: I will be compiling them to combat the epic amounts of GOP stupid that infest my facebook feed.
I shall not die alone, alone, but kin to all the powers,
As merry as the ancient sun and fighting like the flowers.

MITT: "Insurgents" suck

http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2015/10/20/mitt-romney-demise-of-legacy-media-empowering-conservative-insurgents-preventing-more-collaborative-action/

Quote
omney referred to “certain things” that were “said by Republicans during my general election race in 2012 colored the perception of the Republican Party and may have caused some people to stay at home.”

Re-affirming yet again that the GOP can't come to grips with the fact that the MSM sucks and is actively trying to destroy them. And the Base hates them both for that reason.

1990 was 25 years ago.  I realize that was a legitamate low blow, but I am sure there are more recent things to pick from the last 7 years.

Only 12?  I would believe that if we look at only the last year or so.

I agree, but the top end of the list was very relevant.

The establishment is going to learn a very hard lesson in what happens when you poke the bear too many times...
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

At this point I think Vegas should be giving even odds as to which party craters first.

Both are limping along with a rabid base and sheer inertia, but a growing segment of Americans feels that they both suck, and neither is trustworthy.

Notice that he is running out of money.  He started out with a ton of money and has spent it all with little to show for it.

Already done coyote-voted twice in the general.  Got no more paws to give the GOP.

So at that point, I will take a page from the marxist playbook: "The worse, the better."

Stayed home in 2012. First time I sat out since 1980.
Held my nose & pulled R in 08 but I just couldn't do it again.

So far, the worst candidates are not leading (unless you hate Trump).  We will see how that falls out as we head to the end of the year.  The first primaries are fairly early I think.

Oh, I hate Trump.

I just don't think he will actually be the candidate.  And the frothing is fun to watch.

It'll be interesting to see if the GOP can fake veracity convincingly enough. ....

I predict he'll be out after Iowa, if not sooner.

I don't know. Depends how much he wants to cling on in hopes the little folk will come to their senses, and how much face he wants to save for a future in politics.

I think the amusement factor is also fading and Trump has begun a downward spiral, will he be a dick and run independent remains a wild card.
