What's ridiculous...

Is that Newtins "thinks" that the worst thing that can happen is that America could begin some kind of quasi-European social safety net or publicly single payer health care system anytime soon.

Of course, he knows that these things aren't in the offing anytime soon, much less in any pipeline, given the current political and economic establishment in America, the hostile way that public institutions are being attacked and the utter lack of knowledge about such things with the general populace.

We should be afraid of NOT going into bankruptcy over medical bills?!?! Wow.

Statements like his, plus those about our "food stamp president", African-Americans and the poor only leads to one conclusion: His ONLY skillset consists of fear mongering and dog whistling.

It's a shame to see all of those white southerners falling for his claptrap like a gaggle of junkies pining to mainline their next heroin fix.

He's nothing more than a bloated snake oil salesman. A highly disingenuous one at that. At least real snake oil was oily... His is nothing more than the slime trailing behind his own fat ass.

Even if he gets the nod, it would only be a matter of time before his own massive ego, his lies and utter bullshit does him in.

Back in the day, snake oil salesmen were routinely tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail when the townsfolk realized they were cheated out of their hard earned money.

No such fate for Newty... All he gets is more opportunities to masturbate his already humongous ego...

On national TV even.

Yuck!

They don't know what the fuck is happening, or who the fuck they're voting for, and can't see what the fucking consequences are - AND THAT'S THE WAY THEY LIKE IT!
