Forbes: How The Republican Party Uses Donald Trump

[DMC]

It's pretty ironic since the party for the most part really tried to disavow him pre-election... they also did a good job of cleaning up his entourage of some de ables (ie: Bannon) post-election.

But yeah, one would surmise that it shouldn't take much strategizing to convince a vacuous person like him to carry certain flags for the team. I mean, you can blame him for being a compulsive liar and a man-child, but it's not his fault he ended up in the White House on a job he's wholly unqualified for.

Those who voted for him mostly despise the other GOPers. There's a ton of middle grounders, mostly ignored in favor of extremists on both sides.

I concur, the options for the final stanza was a show, tbh...

While Hillary was a candidate, hard to call a center-right Democrat an extremist.

Trump is an extremist not in his political leanings, but in his hyperbole. Somehow that was enough of a draw to beat the other gal. It was an absolute -show.

Hillary had decades of political baggage. Trump ran an anti-Establishment campaign. Bad combination.

The Bill and Hillary political baggage was 25-year, relentless, witch-hunted, fabricated bull , as the Repug strategy, intending America to be a one-party-only country, from early 1990s was to deny the merest legitimacy to non-Repugs.

It is fairly ridiculous that Republicans think Bill Clinton is the devil when he balanced the budget, introduced a really tough crime bill, and engineered NAFTA which all at the time free trade Republicans should have loved. I mean if rightwingers think that kind of democrat is too much of a left wing loon then why are we even paying attention to their complaints in the first place as our policies are never going to make them happy no matter what

tbh, the only people that think Bill Clinton is the devil are Pat Robertson fans, IMO, which had no problem bringing out the pitchforks when Bill was porking the fatty in the Oval Office, but then turn around and vote in Dennison...

Shillary is a different ball game though, not only she comes across as a power hungry , she would've been an historically terrible 1st woman president, tbh. Probably the most well known cuck in history, and blocked by a rookie black senator.

Still Jackie O, imo.

Obomba wore no clothes and W jr wore no brain AND no clothes

This is nothing new. Been going on for decades.

US presidents are usually placed as distraction and are usually puppets

Hillary would have looked like belts of naked fat piled on top of each other as emperor
