Some guest on a TV show with Michael Steel yesterday....

...said that these Republicans, that are so hellbent on defeating Trump, should stop criticizing Joe Biden as if he is even worse than Trump, paraphrasing. That defeats the whole purpose of defeating Trump, he said.

Either they are not sincere in their desire to beat Trump or they do not understand the gravity of the situation?

Instead, they could say, that no one person is worse for the Republican Party than Donald Trump. Joe Biden is far superior. That would be a preferable way to attack Trump, rather than attacking Joe Biden as an unacceptable alternative.

Liz Cheney.

SHE would be dangerous to Democrats in many ways, but I don't believe she wants to destroy the Democracy, and (shudder) I think she could win.

Michael Steele included. Sick and tired of their weak tea and bullshit.

Nuke the Republican party.

Scorched earth! The only way we survive as a Democracy is to bury them! The solution to all our problems is MORE DEMOCRATS!

PERIOD!

I think an argument is “If you choose trump, Republicans lose. Again. And again. And again. He’s not a winner.

No one in the GOP is capable of stopping Trump. Only the Democrats can do it.

He just can't process it from his position.

Ugly, ain't it, Michael?
