G.O.P. Chairman Warns Against Hatred for Hillary Peaking Too Soon/ overheard by Borowitz



WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In an urgent memo to the field of G.O.P. Presidential candidates, the Republican National Committee chairman, Reince Priebus, praised them for their relentless personal attacks on Hillary Clinton, but warned that their hatred for the former Secretary of State might be “peaking too early.”

Priebus called the candidates’ ongoing evisceration of Clinton “magnificent,” but expressed his concern that “no human beings, even an impressive group like yourselves, could possibly sustain such a high intensity of throbbing hatred for an entire year and a half.”

“Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint,” he wrote. “You need to leave some hate in the tank.”

In the conclusion of his memo, Priebus advised the candidates to take an occasional day off from hating Clinton so that they could “return to despising her with renewed freshness and vigor.”

Responding to the R.N.C. directive, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said that he understood Priebus’s concerns, but assured him that, at the end of the day, they were groundless. “Anyone who doesn’t think I’m capable of spewing an infinite stream of vitriol and bile doesn’t know what I’m made of,” he said, pointing with pride to his long record of hating President Obama.

Whether on the radio or on TV one hour should be Hillary hating and the next not. Each host could do odd or even day Hillary hating sort of like they did in the 70's with gas rationing.

"How much do you hate Hilary Clinton"?
Then we can hear each one of them trying to outdo each other.
It would make for entertaining tv...at least until you had to get up and go vomit.

1. Candidates enter the venue, fire their guns in the air, proceed to podium.
2. "How much do you hate Hilary Clinton"? segment, followed by
3. "Yo momma so ugly..." segment.

These guys are all supreme dicks and could probably admire Hillary several times a day.

Don't they have anything positive to contribute? Obviously their spawn isn't.

“You need to leave some hate in the tank.”

This is excellent satire. But I wouldn't be surprised if something like this actually happened.
