Yup, this is from yet another Republican, SE Cupp, but it may well take these NEVER-Trumpers to break through to the remaining reachable cultists...

Every parent has warily confronted the hypothetical question: What would you do if you suspected your child was unwell? Not physically, but emotionally unwell, or mentally unstable? Imagine learning your teenager, for example, had been yelling demeaning slurs at the girls in his class, harassing them and calling them names.
And that hed been secretly using his social media accounts to go on late-night rants against perceived enemies, attacking their looks, and again, calling them names in unending, seething, rambling posts.
Or that hed been increasingly susceptible to bizarre and otherwise implausible conspiracy theories, and was spreading them unprompted to anyone who would listen.
--snip--
Less than two weeks after unimaginably suggesting injecting disinfectants might help kill off the coronavirus, the past few days have seen him spiral out of control, proving utterly incapable of staying focused on the biggest crisis a president can face. Instead, he has:
*Spread unfounded conspiracy theories about the origins of the coronavirus, about former President Barack Obama and about an MSNBC cable-news host;
*Made statements that can only be described as delusional, like comparing himself to Abraham Lincoln, inventing a non-existent letter of apology from Joe Biden, and spewing non-science about his favorite drug, hydroxychloroquine;
*Attacked two female reporters for doing their jobs, lamenting that they didnt behave like Donna Reed, an actress synonymous with the gender role-abiding, kitchen-dwelling 1950s housewife she played on television more than 60 years ago;
*Attacked another female cable-news host, calling her a 3rd rate lapdog;
*And in the middle of the night on Tuesday, at 12:45 a.m., gone on a 234-word rant on Twitter, complaining about an ad released by a Republican anti-Trump group whose leaders include George Conway, husband of his staffer Kellyanne, in which he used words like deranged loser of a husband, and Moonface to describe him.

(20,864 posts)we have a 5th column picking Trump apart. Rick Wilson is gloating that he found Trump's weak spot. Expect that ad to get plenty of air time. I have been predicting for a very long time that Trump would have a nervous breakdown, maybe I still have a chance to be right.
I'm not a cruel person, I mean I don't wish that Trump die of a heart attack or anything like that, I just wish that he be taken away slobbering and babbling nonsense that even his cult can't understand. I can picture Melania feeding Trump at Mar-el-Loco with a piece of the greatest chocolate cake in the world for desert.

(12,410 posts)I know too many people who voted for trump simply because of hillary. Almost all the ones that I've talked to, that are stable enough to discuss politics anyway, are disgusted by him now. A couple have said they'd vote for Biden "if he picks a good VP", but trump is losing votes by non voters too.
And he may take the Senate down with him

(3,378 posts)Just as they are on the issue of sexual assault. These are issues that drive people to the polls, so theyre trying to make voters feel the same about both candidates so they just wont vote.

(5,601 posts)driven from office and the fact that they have stuck to him, tells us that they are as sick as he is.
I'm still not clear why the media and all the Dems don't all call for his resignation and/or removal. It's FUBAR.
I still think if the press and the Dems made a unified call for him to leave, the GOP would be forced to push him out.

(3,691 posts)It's was a genius idea. The LP Team have created an environment now where people will be searching out their ads to see what they'd done next. Dems should welcome all the help we can get.

How can they not see moscow Mitch is an enabler. Work to get rid of him too. I guess I need to realize that they are republicans and the minute they see a R. they like they will support them.

(22,114 posts)MadDogPAC has been on the case for maybe a year.
if you google anti McConnell billboards you will get a page full of thumbnail images and it is a sight to behold
The PAC is placing them on the Interstates and in the larger cities. One of them is right by the exits that lead to Mammoth Cave National Park - halfway between Louisville and Nashville - on I-65.
