(108,772 posts)They are the source of this madness. All of these shit candidates were picked by them, and they all suck. Fox News really needs to quit thinking they can run the country.

(31,904 posts)not one "statesman or stateswoman" in the bunch. The only one that comes close they kicked to the curb. At least she was a patriot (although I disagree with almost every position she held).

(8,876 posts)He knows, even in his weakened, possibly addled, state that the GOP is just about DOA because of the idiots who are winning GOP primaries. Didn't he say, not long ago, something like the party needs a better grade of candidates?

(20,584 posts)members of the republiCAN'T party seem to be reclaiming their spines from Trump's boxes of souvenirs lately. Not enough to make a difference, mind you, the "freedom caucus" still has an inordinate amount of power in the House, but Trump's iron grip is starting slip. Finally.

(26,257 posts)and then when they get (barely), they don't even know how to govern. Some say 'oh, but that is what they want!', but I disagree. If they actually knew how to run government, they would be taking away benefits, etc., enacting laws that the rich would actually have to pay no taxes (supporting their long-held belief that the rich creates jobs, thus don't tax them, etc., nonsense of course).
Just an unorganized mob basically.
Why in the hell did they run for government?

(114,614 posts)It's really too bad the moderates were ousted, I can see Democrats supporting Cheney or Kinzinger just because they were rational enough to do the job. They are not going to support anyone the Freedumb Caucus likes.

(60,179 posts)He hasnt had an original idea since he cried to his mama for milk.
The reason their shit doesnt stick to the wall is they cant even throw it that far. They just keep tossing it up in the air, and wonder why fresh shit keeps falling back down on them five seconds later.
