No spine. Unprincipled. Glad she's not the nominee.
On the other hand, I'm pretty sure she'd be a better candidate than Donald Trump. Very low bar, but still.
She would easily win against Kamala. Thank God the base is dumb enough to keep supporting Trump.
And Trump is… better…?
She’s an absolute dipshit, but I’d swap her out for all the Trump idiocy in a heartbeat, simply because of the potential for harm and massive amounts of stochastic terrorism that Trump inherently poses.
They’re all like this. Ted Cruz’s wife gets called ugly and Ted sucks him off. Lindsey Graham says something innocuous about Trump, Trump tells a reporter he doesn’t give a shit what Lindsey thinks. Oh shucks, well, whatever. Most republicans are reported to have talked about how bad for the country he is behind closed doors, INCLUDING TRUMP’S CURRENT RUNNING MATE, but that person is also too unprincipled to do the right thing. Even in spite of the family members he says he worries about under a Trump presidency.
Republicans simply cannot rebuke Trump anymore, because the idiots who vote for him are single issue voters now, and the single issue is whether or not the candidate is endorsed by their golden spray tanned god. Those people are deplorable. Their hate is the one thing driving their political opinions.
trump makes Dennis Reynolds actually look like a god
Party Over Country every single time
That tells you more about Republican Party than about Trump
That they hate America? Yeah, I gathered that.
Of all of the candidates, he is one.
"Is it more important that democratic elections continue, or that your party win?"
"Well I do like being on the winning team..."
backs his policies
Which can be summed up as "do whatever puts more money into the pockets of rich people, especially Trump himself".
Translation: No, not at all but just in case he wins I don't to be on his hit list.
Trump is the most accurate representation of conservatives in U.S. politics. This has been proven time and time again for over a decade. He accurately represents them. He is them.
"I don't have to think. The party has already told me how to think."
He will unleash a bunch of unhinged right-wing radicals on my kids and try to ruin my life if i don't support him, so of course i support him.
The reason there is a "party system" at all is because of our voting system. It forces a two party system and if you don't listen to the parties you'll throw your vote away. If we switch to Ranked Choice Voting this wouldn't be a problem anymore and we'd be able to actually elect the most popular candidate.
But then the corporations wouldn't be able to control legislation and that just won't work (for them).
Hey Nikki? Hey, maybe that's not a good thing. Maybe that's something you shouldn't be happy about, and something you should push back against if you actually care about your party or your country.
What's that? You only care about your own skin?
Translation: "How dare you ask me this"
This gives me hope, if people truly hate the populous figure head, then it’s not sustainable long term.
Then again, people hated Stalin…
Completely feckless
Marshawn Lynch voice: "I'm just here so I won't get lynched."
Then why did you work for him and endorse him?
Air head. Susan Rice and Samantha Power both dance circles around her in terms of foreign policy prowess.
What a nimroda 🤦♂️
"Well... he's A candidate"
Nematoded
that is, definitely one of the responses.
You think?
Aware.
