Just overheard a couple of VERY republican coworkers discussing what happened yesterday...

[Curtland1015]

...and lamenting how "screwed" they are.

It made me so happy.

[snacker]

1. You reap what you sow...

just saying.

[lapucelle]

14. You're so right.

[Wounded Bear]

30. No kidding....

It's not like this shit grew out of some vacuum. It's no surprise. We've been trying for decades to tell those on the right to tone it down a bit.

Maybe they will finally learn. :facrpalm:

[Salviati]

31. Yes, trump is not the disease, he is merely a symptom.

If they could replace him tomorrow, the (now) overcurrent of racism, bigotry, misogyny, and hatred that the more "respectable" mainstream republicans use to rile up their base in support of their failed, bankrupt ideology would still remain.

[Scarsdale]

35. Exactly

It was reported that during the McCain campaign, when PayMe had the crowd yelling "Kill him" regarding Obama, some aides were alarmed. They asked little Johnny to tell her to tone it down. The brave, honorable former POW "hero" said "But then she will turn on ME" so, nothing was done. Too bad they did not VET her before he announced her as his VP running mate. She already belonged to Alaska Independence Party, wanting to secede from the lower 48.

[Johnny2X2X]

2. Yup

It's really frustrating to hear the Republican talking heads go on TV and lie about what we all heard with our own ears, but know that it is damage control. Every thinking Repblican knows this hurt their candidate and their party.

[jehop61]

3. I'm seeing

the republicans on my Facebook page are now saying Trump is a plant by the Clintons to make sure she wins in Nov. can't face reality

[keithbvadu2]

11. A "plant" that they were not smart enough to recognize. Trump earned his nomination.

[klook]

15. They need to brush up on their botany.

i hope this "plant" ruins their whole poisonous garden.

[NewJeffCT]

17. yes, the plant that pulled the wool over the eyes of 14 million Republican voters

and got $2 billion to $3 billion in free media.

[GoCubsGo]

34. And, who pretty much encouraged his knuckle-dragging supporters.

to shoot her. Yep. He's a plant, alright.

[lindysalsagal]

52. and the money's still pouring in to fRump.

We did that. Right.

fRump is the president of the "I can't be blamed for anything club."

[CBGLuthier]

28. Now where on earth would they get such a crazy idea

[GoDawgs]

46. Trump is a plant

[3catwoman3]

48. More like...

...poison ivy.

I like coleus plants. I loathe Trump.

[GoDawgs]

54. I tried to think of something nastier yet still his shade

Unfortunately, he is uniquely super-nasty and orange, compared to plants at least....

If you are a coleus fan and like this one, i think its a hybrid coleus called 'Rustic Leaf' or Rustic something.

[Warren DeMontague]

51. oh cry me a river. This is a guy who mocked a disabled journalist months ago.

he tricked you by saying all the nasty, bigoted shit you guys secretly believed, and you voted for him, and now you're stuck with him?

There isn't a whaaaaaaambulance big enough for this emergency.

[Proud Public Servant]

4. OTOH there's Freeperville

Where they're sure the polls are skewed, Trump is ahead, and this latest blow-up is a sign of Dem desperation in the face of our inevitable loss.

[Ilsa]

40. Every last poll, even Fox polls, are wrong. Wow. nt

[Proud Public Servant]

43. The "logic" is fascinating

The argument is that pollsters poll registered voters, and so are missing the awesome armada of disaffected Trump supporters who have never voted before and aren't (yet) registered. And of course they're all going to register and get to the polls on their own, since Trump has no actual organization capable of mobilizing them.

As I said:

[Ilsa]

44. "False Fixed Belief," or words to that effect, is what my

Doctor calls it. She's a wonderful psychiatrist.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

5. Thank goodness your co-workers aren't swallowing the later Trump spin. n/t

[rivegauche]

6. Well I suppose the good news is that some Repubs

actually do have a breaking point with all Trump's insanity. I sometimes think that they've all gone insane en masse.

[glennward]

7. The fact that they weren't horrified but just felt "screwed" is the real problem. nt

[Cosmocat]

10. BINGO!

nm

[etherealtruth]

12. Exactly

[flygal]

18. That was my first thought as well

[uponit7771]

20. +1

[Curtland1015]

23. Totally. They weren't mad at the bat-shit crazy thing he said...

...just that their "side" is getting pilloried for it.

[vlyons]

8. Is taking pleasure in the mistakes and misfortune of others something to nurture?

For me, the lesson of Trump's reckless speech is for me myself to be mindful is the power of speech.

[SheriffBob]

13. in trump's case

I take great pleasure to see him ruined
by his hateful rhetoric.

I have no sympathy for the devil.

[Curtland1015]

21. Maybe being happy the people supporting a bigoted rat are sad that he's losing isn't...

...the "high road". But I'm not going to lost sleep over it.

[AllyCat]

9. Repub friends of another friend: biased editing of the video.

Multiple people posting the video. That is how they spin it. And then emails.

[klook]

16. They always cry foul as they're trying to move the goalposts. (n/t)

[yankeepants]

19. I live in rural upstate NY once loud "Trump Gonna Shake Things Up!" territory

Crickets.

[Fla Dem]

22. They should have realized how screwed they were when Trump became their nominee.

A little late for regrets.

[lark]

24. His true followers won't care.

They are so angry at anyone who doesn't think like them that they would probably be happy if someone shot her. In fact, wouldn't be surprised if there were a few who are now planning on killing her. I saw several responses from trump trolls on another site and this didn't bother them one bit. One was saying it was a fantasy and Trump didn't mean it one bit, the other was saying, so what, if she's going to destroy his way of life she needs to be put down.

Guiliani is just a liar and doesn't care because what Drumpf if paying him is more important than HRC getting shot. He's a narcissistic asshole, just like Drumpf, and they are both in this only for the $$ (and power in drumpfs' case).

[liberal N proud]

25. At least they were not defending him

[riversedge]

26. wonder if they will still vote for Trump?/

[Amimnoch]

27. Irritating the hell out of them has never been so easy.

All of their normal talking points, they lose now:
'Merica is the best country on earth? Not according to their candidate, we need to make it great again.

We need to keep dem dag nabbit im'grants out of our country? Why are you electing one who is married to one?

We love dem family values? Why are you voting for the one that's been divorced many times, owns strip clubs, and is married to a woman who's been in porn?

Fiscal Responsibility? Which candidate has filed for bankruptcy multiple times and driven many businesses into the ground?

Support the white middle class worker? Remind me again which candidate is famous for firing those same people from the companies he procures??

Yeah.. that poor poooooor party clinging to their guns and religion.. all they have left now is there guns.

Pissing them off these days is just so damn easy. They've got nothing.

[DawgHouse]

33. Great post

[Capt. Obvious]

29. Trump doesn't like to use that word

[NBachers]

32. They're right, they are screwn.

[3catwoman3]

49. Is that the past...

...perfect tense?

Whatever it is, I love it!

[calimary]

36. Is it wrong that I'm smiling?

The sad part about it, though, is what quite a few of us have pointed out farther upthread.

They're sad because they believe THEY'RE screwed, cuz they're sure to lose this one. It's that THEY'RE screwed. Evidently there's no thought given to how badly all of America, and maybe the rest of the world as well, if Mr. "if we have nukes, why can't we use them?" were to get elected. All they care about is the win, and the power and presumed dominance that comes with it. Because deep down, they think THEY'RE entitled to it. That it's somehow THEIR birthright. And I don't see that mindset changing, or being humbled, by what may come. I don't see any willingness to learn or grow from this. I don't see most of those "this country belongs to the WHITE people, and we're supposed to be led by WHITE MEN" believers coming around to acceptance of what IS, as this country evolves and changes. They want "their America" back. As in - back the way (they think) it used to be.

I imagine that, presuming Hillary wins in November, their outrage at "there's a BLACK guy in the Oval Office, and he ISN'T the janitor!" will morph into "there's a WOMAN in the Oval Office, and she ISN'T the cleaning lady!"

[oberliner]

37. If Trump had explicitly called for someone to shoot Hillary

He would've gotten bigger cheers from his crowd.

[Amimnoch]

42. The tribble wearing orange never states things explicitly.

Every sentence it utters is short, simple, and referential hyperbole.

[sakabatou]

38. XD

[Angry Dragon]

39. The party of hate, fear and no

[KingCharlemagne]

41. I dare you to ask them whether they support the use of violence to resolve

political disputes.

[Martin Eden]

45. They'd be a lot more screwed, as would all of us ...

... if Trump becomes president.

[Leith]

47. No Sympathy for Them

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=8080569

[Liberal_in_LA]

50. Lol

[Grins]

53. How they screwed themselves, actually...

Because they "Built that!"

Heckofajob, GOP!
