My thought yesterday morning was that Obama would sit back and let the HRC bump play out. Sure Trump was bleeding, but we all know he is going to screw up again. Chill for a bit, hit him hard in September and October. Then walking into the office I see Obama making his comments, going up the stairs it hits me, friggen brilliant!
He tied the 260 pound steaming pile of orange shit around every Republicans neck. Put them all on notice that their candidate is unacceptable and they need to clean up the steaming pile, no passing the buck this time, Obama walked into a mess the Republicans created, not his job to clean up their shit on the way out the door too.
It basically gives Ryan, McConnell, all other leaders, just a few days to denounce Trump. If they do it they piss off the tea bagging base, if they don't they have to hope the Trump outrage blows over. And it will, if he doesn't do something extremely stupid this week. But they also have to worry about Trump doing something stupid in the next ninety days, something even more offensive, more outrageous, and then having Obama call them out for their lack of leadership and inaction.
So, which way would you go if were betting your career? You would have to think long and hard; do you want your rival to call you out for inaction and lack of leadership in September or October? Criticisms they know will have impact due to being accurate and documented. Or do you want to sit back and hope it goes away? Now we all know they gutless, but they are politicians and they now are being dragged down by a huge sack of shit. They have a bit of a stench now, but things are going to get hotter, and that sack of shit ain't going to smell any better in thirty days and if it explodes, they are covered head to toe.
These McCain/Ryan comments from Trump just didn't come out of thin air. They are the gaseous releases from the Orange sack of shit. Calls were likely flying yesterday from Republican leadership to Team Turd and The Donald got his feelings hurt and had another child like outburst. His campaign staff is reportedly in an uproar, Republicans aren't anywhere to be found on the TV, but you can only hide so long. Again, it may blow over this week, but they all have to return to DC and the next screw up will likely be worse. Hell I thought Warren was going to be the one to take him down. The Dems haven't even started attacking him with opposition research yet so it is a given he will crack, but when an opportunity presents itself, take it.
