The Goat Pen

Even Krauthammer's a racist.


“Remember (Obama) said two years ago, ‘I’m not on the ballot, but my policies are?'” Krauthammer reminded the audience. “And he got shellacked. And then he said this year, ‘My legacy’s on the ballot.’ And I think he’s going to lose it. I think it’s going to be undone, much of it, in the first hundred days, starting with Obamacare. Everything he signed, all the executive orders, are gone.”

Krauthammer then laid bare for Democrats the devastating truth about the president who took every opportunity to weaken the Constitution and diminish congressional authority: “I think he ends up a historic parenthesis. He has left the Democrats in ruins at every level. The governorships, the state houses, the House, and the Senate, and now the White House. He’s been a wrecking ball for Democrats and I think he deserves a lot of the credit for Trump’s victory.”

Of course he's a racist. Anybody who is not a Democrat is a racist.

Trump beat 16 other republican challengers on the basis of "build a wall" and "deport 11 million illegals." Enough rubes bought that schtick - and it didn't hurt that the same lowbrow demographic loved Trump on "The Apprentice" - to get the nomination. And then he convinced enough blue collar dems that he'd bring their plant jobs back, and they lapped that up as well. And yeah, the "basket of deplorables' was too close to the bone and therefore overblown - she'd have been better served having said "bushels of know-nothings" or "barrels of dumbshits."

In summary - you can't fool all of the people all of the time...but you CAN put one over on enough people in strategic locations to get an electoral college victory.

Exactly.

Trump Lies. America Dies.

Rather than calling them lowbrows and barrels of dipshits for the next four years, have you considered trying to get them to vote Democrat next time?

wonder if they were lowbrows and dipshits when they voted democratic for 40 years

Well, they voted Democratic except for the 20 years when they voted for Reagan, Bush 1 and Bush 2. Oh, and for the GOP majority in 9 of the past 11 congressional elections and 8 of the past 12 senatorial elections.

"wonder if they were lowbrows and dipshits when they voted democratic for 40 years"

Trump got just over a million more votes than Romney did in 2012, Hillary got 2 million less than Obama did in 2012. I don't think it's a matter of hordes of dems voting repub this time, I just don't think Hillary was inspiring enough to get the standard dem voters out. But they're still out there, just waiting for the right candidate. Obviously Hillary wasn't it, but the demographics of the country haven't changed...

most of the lowborws and dipshits in mid American were democratic union workers bluecollars --those are the ones that voted for 40 years against the repubs. that's the group that switched this election by voting for trump

I'm pretty sure some and perhaps a lot of people who are reliable repub voters didn't vote for Trump. The problem with the repub party, though, is that it's at war with itself. If you get a candidate that all the newspaper editors and country club repubs are willing to back, you risk losing disgruntled Joe Sixpack. And I doubt there's going to be another firebrand like Trump with the name recognition and cultural popularity that's going to even want to run for president, much less be able to captivate the crowds like Trump did. Just keep in mind that Trump has been a lifelong democrat until 2 years ago, I'm pretty sure he's fine with gay marriage and all that other cultural elitist bullshit that the dust bowl yokels hate and he's already shown signs of backing off (way off) of many of the points he used to whip the crowds into a frenzy on the campaign trail. There's plenty to complain about from the liberal perspective, but I won't be surprised if it's a large segment of his supporters who'll be complaining 4 years from now. We'll see...

I agree. Trump already backed off on the wall, mass deportations, prosecuting Hillary, and global warming. He made Reince Priebus, Mr. Establishment, his chief of staff. He is likely to make another Establishment dunce, Mitt Romney, Secretary of State. That was just in one week. He'll probably nominate the president of Planned Parenthood for SCOTUS next.

I almost forgot - he says he wants to spend a trillion dollars on infrastructure. I'm assuming all the jobs will be shovel ready.

Great ready for single-payer Trumpcare.

I hope digging your grave is one of those shovel ready jobs...

On the bright side, the future is still in our future.

And since the Trump election, the stock market has been UP UP UP!

Good times indeed.

Not so fast....

The dems have been dealt a double blow, first the PAH loses, now they lose Castro....tough times indeed.


Keep Pelosi!!!

My condolences to tick, DSL, and Hedge for the loss of one of their great ones today...
