Yeah, some people are working to ensure that this populist will at least promote and work towards some republican goals, like the SCOTUS nominees. In fact, that is the sole reason that many voted for him. Once he became the nominee the only thing that some of these people believe they can do is damage control. IMHO It's the largest reason he's constantly firing people. They keep trying to install a mouth filter....

Brad seems awfully moralistic when he's castigating a Republican politician.

When DEMOCRATS fall short of perfection, he takes a different view, doesn't he?

BTW, I heard a rumor that Brad was cheating on his own wife when she was undergoing treatment for breast cancer recently.

Didn't Brad enthusiastically back his beloved "HRC" in 2016?

Idiot! Do you really think that was the theme OPie was shooting for?

OPie was trying to compare apples to orangy face, by saying if Edwards was able to squiggle free- then Orangy face can squiggle out of his mess too!

Hilarious on both of your notions!!

It just keeps getting goofier around here! LOL

But I can see you ( and establishment Republicans) have ISSUES -so why bother explaining
economic nationalism, or even simple populism. Maybe you can get a Jeb! next time..

I can't wait till I leave the Republican party. you guys are 100% WORTHLESS...what a waste of a party.

Says the guy who is a lifelong Dem. Thanks for urban machines, secession, segregation, and New Left radicalism.

Back to the lie, however. It would have been shocking if either McCain or Romney defeated Obama, when the only platform he needed was a simpler version of the one Clinton ran on in 1992. I mean, "you outta know, you bought it" (to quote The Joker).

reediculous you are going back to the Civil War if I follow that.

I left the Party when it started to go nutzy PC.
I was a blue dog Dem most of my life when working class middle of the road Dems were in fashion.
The fruitcake Progs that infest the left with their silly ID politics, and PC are anathema to what I want from politics..

But fruitcake or not; the Dems have an ability to vote in a block...NeverTrumps life Kristol who backed warpigs like McCain are dying out , but the old guard establishment Republicans are dead too.

Libertarians and Trumpersters are the wave of the Republican party - while the old guard sulks that they are irrelevant.
I really wouldn't care since I have no intention of remaining, unless Libertarians or populists take over

Or it could be like with our war criminals, just recycle them as corporate state TV pundits pushing for more endless generational war.

So, what was your position on Bill Clinton's impeachment?

I caucused for Ron Paul in 2012, and was for his son last time around.

ya. I like Rand Paul on some things..I could live with him as president.
I can't see ever going back to being a Dem though...them boys and girls are whack jobs

Edwards won his acquittal in 2012. It ended his political career. This is brought up by goofy rightys because it involved an affair. But Trump has lots of them to deal with. Of course, I guess since it ended Edwards political career, the rightys must want Trumps to end too.

I thought it was idiocy because regardless of evidence he would not be convicted by the Senate.

I personally wanted it to end in the Primary.

Yahoo news

I think since the trial was in 2012, they gave their position away.
