Why haven't Republican leaders responded to golf ball hitting Hillary?..

[Stuart G]

My opinion is the leaders want a collective simple easy to understand response ...but..there is some question as to what that is going to be....so...........................................................................
......................................................................today, Sunday,,(right now.)......the Republicans are doing research with paid audiences........................right now...........................
with all different kinds of people..to get the most reasonable collective thing to say about the President's golf ball tweet.... McConnell, Ryan, etc...know the research is being done, (now) .. and will respond tomorrow...with an answer that sounds reasonable, ........and makes sense to many people......and they will all answer in a similar way. ...

now ...I don't know nothing....as Sargent Shultz...used to say.. ... (I really don't know about this, or if it is happening at all...it is an opinion..but I think that tomorrow after results are in...there will be one collective, reasonable sounding answer to the questions on Trumps tweet on the golf ball hitting Hillary......and that answer will be ok with a whole lot of people in this country..................................And without a collective, reasonable answer, the leadership could be out of luck...forever after 2018............

1. Because they are deplorable

[MoonRiver]

2. This

[jrthin]

5. Exactly. They have shown us who they are over and over

and over again. Let's except the reality. Today's republicans are course human being.

[Stuart G]

7. You are damn right..they are deplorable..but they want their response about this to seem reasonable.

Not that the party wants spend a whole lot of money on audience research.., but that the leadership needs a reasonable answer to questions that will come to them for a while..about this...and this is major news....

This was not some candidate ....This was the President of the United States..that sent this out..their leader..the pukes need what sounds like an "honest, reasonable, and simple response, to this awful action of Trump..The pukes can wait a day...to get results...and then we will see if this is anything close to correct....It is just an opinion that is all...............

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. They don't have the gonads to rebuke Trump.

Collectively and singularly, they are a cowardly bunch of wimps.

[Maeve]

4. They are having too much fun sharing it and laughing eom

[Boomerproud]

6. Yep.

True colors and all that.

[Stuart G]

9. Yes,,,,they are awful...but they need to sound "reasonable"..

Tomorrow we will see...Hell...I have been wrong so many times I cannot count... ..

but..I do think we will hear from them tomorrow, and it will sound a little bit critical, but a lot a bit... understanding..and joking...that the tweet was.."Kind of funny"...but a simple..."mistake in judgment"..also somewhat apologetic..but as it says in the first sentence..."Tomorrow we will see".....

and if I am wrong.....?? .....this is an internet discussion board...so what??........

It is a prediction..could be wrong,..and maybe correct/??

8. Republican family values have degenerated dramatically

They exhibit no honor nowadays

[haveahart]

10. Because they approve of it.

[NanceGreggs]

11. For the same reason ...

... they don't respond/react to any of his inane tweets.

They can't defend the indefensible. They can't come up with a plausible excuse for his childishness. They have no way of spinning his offensive statements into anything other than what they are.

The PTB in the GOP know Trump is an idiot. They know he can't be coerced, cajoled, or manipulated into not demonstrating that idiocy on a daily basis.

So they just ignore it - hoping that everyone else will ignore it, too.

[Stuart G]

14. You know you are correct...but...everyone will not ignore it......the pukes can hope..

but this one.. a picture of a physical attack on an opponent by the President..... condoned and sent out by the President....will not be ignored..It will not go away....(in my opinion)...Why? This goes way beyond a joke..or a "tweet"......

It is stupid beyond belief, and shows a total lack of judgment.......total.................Yes, if Trump were still leading a TV show, like he did, well he could be fired, or viewership could go down so the show is cancelled.

This is not a tv show...this is real life, he is the real leader of the United States of American...this is no game..and we will see tomorrow what the sh*t as*h**e... leaders of the puke party will do..

[NanceGreggs]

15. And you're correct ...

... when you say that this one will not "go away". Many have, but this one won't.

It's a topic that the GOP spokes-mouths will not bring up voluntarily - but they'll be confronted with it by reporters and TV commentators.

My first guess is they'll trot out the so-where's-everyone's-sense-of-humour defense, followed by a diatribe about how "some people" are just overly-sensitive.

[Warpy]

12. Because they're all 12 years old and think it's a real knee slapper

to hit a woman.

13. DT RTs hitting HRC with golf ball. Getting really tired of begging GOP to get rid of this mentally i

DT RTs hitting HRC with golf ball. Getting really tired of begging GOP to get rid of this mentally ill disgrace. Not presidential or human.

16. Isn't little Barron traumatized seeing his daddy beat up someone with a golf club? n/t

[smirkymonkey]

17. No, he's too busy helping mommy with her anti-bullying campaign.

[left-of-center2012]

18. Does any photo exist ...

Does any photo exist of Trump with his arm around Barron,
or showing any affection toward his son?

We saw many of Obama with his daughters, showing his fatherly love for them.

[Stuart G]

23. Thank You...the above photo says more than almost any could...

..3 happy faces, .and 3 totally relaxed faces...totally wonderful. I miss that guy so much..

19. Who is in this paid audience you speak of?

Were they smart enough to get some liberals, and what liberals would agree to be in the audience anyway? Oh, I believe they are discussing it, but I don't believe there is a focus group. I believe it's just a bunch of angry, old, white men sitting down trying to get their heads around what all the fuss is about. "Well, Mitch, do you see anything inherently wrong with the GIF?" "Why no, Paul, it just begs all reason why so many people find it offensive."

[Stuart G]

20. If there is a paid audience..where they are tying to work out some kind of response, and...

the company that is doing the research has some integrity..(whatever that is)...then of course they have a wide cross section of the population and yes..there will be some liberals in that audience..if that is going to be a legitimate research organization...

The company must have a cross section of the entire population to get an accurate response from the audiences..Then, maybe on Tuesday or Wednesday, when the puke leaders start to respond..they can sound plausible and somewhat intelligent and reasonable.....

and...their point of having a strong, intelligent, reasonable, response has to do with the spreading news about this short video..it is still spreading..getting known..around the country..why is this so important?.

.HITTING SOMEONE IN THE BACK WITH A GOLFBALL...IS PRETTY HORRIFIC..PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER WHO PASSED THAT ONE AROUND...THAT BUNCH OF DITRY OLD WHITE MEN, NUMBER 1, WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THEIR POWER....IT IS ALL ABOUT POWER...KEEP THE POWER ...MAKE IT LARGER, NOT LESS...!!!!!

so...in 13 months there will be an election, nation wide...if this video remains an issue..how Trump hit Hillary in the back with a golf ball...it could cost the pukes...their majority in the congress...

I got to add this..I do not know for sure, if they are dong this research..It is a guess, or hunch..This guy who spread this 40 second video with the golf ball hitting Hillary in the back is their leader. They want to keep their power in spite of the fact he is an idiot...the pukes want their power, and they want to keep it.

[ProudLib72]

24. Ok, on second thought I shouldn't be so dismissive

Not after learning about the role of Cambridge Analytica in the election. So maybe you are on to something, but I bet it has more to do with data mining and analysis than focus groups. I bet they just pay a huge analytics company to do the research for them.

21. If a Democrat had done it to either Bush or Reagan, the hysteria of demanding an apology

would be at fever pitch. Next time a Republican demands an apology of a Democrat for anything, they should tell the GOP to kiss their ass!

[Stuart G]

22. Yes..there would be hysteria against the Democrats....You are so right on that one..

And...I think that Trump will apologize on this....It may not happen, but it could. There is a whole lot at stake on how this works out.. And, it is a short video..everyone can take a moment to watch it...yes everyone..!!and it will be ....everywhere...
