(182,877 posts)Even Republicans in super safe districts or states have to repeat the "greatest hits", whatever they are today.
Trump, who Fox desperately tried to put away, echoes what is on they airways.
They are worried about primaries more than general elections but with a few exceptions one false step and they could lose.

(22,976 posts)They completely lack intellect, genuine emotion, empathy, a sense of fair play, honesty, humor and nuance.
Instead, they "function" on two fixed settings: anger and fear. Their attention span is short, and they view the world and its conflicts/issues with a simplistic, comic-book mentality. There is no perception of any "big picture" or "greater good."
The Republican Party is a snake swallowing its own tail, all the while blaming someone/something else about it.

(81,871 posts)Obama will easily be in the list of top ten best presidents for a long time. Washington, Lincoln, and FDR will probably always be ahead of him. Then the arguments begin.

No diplomacy. If their collective "Statesmanship" could be bagged, and ant could scurry off with it.
Integrity? Morals? Conscience? LMAO!

(5,126 posts)There are Republicans that we can admire, but none that are a version of Obama.
Lincoln is probably the closest, first Republican President, great orator, called on people to elevate themselves, used his life experiences to develop empathy and understanding, understood "leadership".
But, while they share admirable qualities, they're not different versions of the same person. Very different circumstances and presidencies.

(6,977 posts)Thuglicans tried to make it Bobby Jindal from Louisiana. But the creep and religious hypocrisy factor was HIGH with that one. He was a God awful governor of Louisiana, plus the last time I heard, someone was threatening to reveal something about him being a voodoo doctor casting spells or something like that when he was making his way through college.
I haven't seen nor heard from that ass clown since he left the Governor's office. GOOD!!!!!!!!!!! Hope he takes the Sarah "Dumb as two piles of poo" Palin root and continues to stay irrelevant.
Look at how creepy that son bitch looks:

(12,676 posts)Of course, any Republican that actually wants to govern the country rather than profit by ruling with a privileged iron fist has long left the party or is wallowing in provincial ignorance or active self-delusion.
They're the "We only represent a quarter of a country/Anti-Liberal" organization. Their Barack Obama is whatever purty talking head that they've just fallen in love with is.
