We're talking about Deplorables. If you read social media they think it's funny or just.

The same folks who were wanting to crucify Melissa Click for wanting to block a reporter's access. I think it was proper to fire her, and I think it is proper to send Gianforte packing.

are probably applauding the macho body slam of the reporter. Remember, Katie Couric asked Sarah Palin the egregiously hard question of "what newspapers do you read?" and it was unfair and harsh "gotcha" question in the eyes of Palin's fans.

1. Trump was elected president.
2. Tom Corburn was elected to the Senate after admitting to sterilizing women without their consent.
3. A TN district elected a Republican who once forced a mistress to get an abortion.
4. Gov. Paul LePage was re-elected in 2014 despite everything he said and did.

Assaulting a reporter from a liberal foreign newspaper is likely to get a Republican more votes than anything.

Where have they shown (in the past twenty years) any indication that they will vote for honesty, fairness, and decency. If you are mean, ignorant, and loud about it, you are their guy.

..............and still won with 81% of the vote. Most Republicans don't vote for candidates; they vote for the R after their names.

trump and, by association, all of his minions could shoot someone in the middle of fifth ave and not lose even one of his supporters. Guess this measurement can be applied to a Republican reverting to brutal, physical attacks on "fake" news people when they ask a question the Repub doesn't happen to like.

President Pussygrabber and his wrestlemaniacs do not represent the views of the majority of the people. The question is whether or not the opposition will smartly fight back with an eye on seizing power.
