I Do Not Believe That Any Of The GOP Clowns Can't Win.

[TheMastersNemesis]

This election looks very volatile to me. So many voters are so upset and angry that anything can happen. I never thought so many state legislatures would be so radical. I never though so many extreme GOP governors would get re elected. And I never thought so many anti reproductive rights laws would pass. And I never thought I would see so many racist, bigoted, hateful, stupid and mean politicians would be in office. And I never thought that I would see so much religion be in the public forum.

Yet here we are with people like Gomert, Cruz, Trump et al being treated a legitimate. And with all the vote fraud, voter apathy, and other shenanigans you have to be concerned. Then there is the corrupt media and all the money.

It is hard to believe that any of these clown could not win. As I watch and listen and I view what is going on locally with all the idiots around me I wish I were confident.

1. I'm reminded of the old saying

that no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people, or something to that effect ....

2. I Look At What I Happening In Our Local & State Elections.

We have a lot of crazies in Colorado and we lost a Senator to a nut case for no comprehendible reason. Udall should have won. And I see a lot of red state nuts moving to Colorado. Plus we have a "gun nut" looking at running for the Senate hear. And they believe in open carry any weapon you want any where you want. And they have the support of the most radical gun owner associations in the state.

I look at my own neighborhood and we have a super gun nut down the street with "don't tread on me" stickers all over his vehicles and he is a fundy super Christian. He also pulled a gun on some neighbors kids a few years ago allegedly breaking into his van, which I doubt. And I have a neighbor who rides a Harley Davidson motorcycle and carries a concealed weapon. He is an avid GOPPER. He is also diabetic and needs good health insurance. I even have a neighbor who has I believe a wife who is very disabled and is an avid GOPPER against universal health care.

During elections I see a lot of GOPPER signs and most of these assholes do not have a pot to piss in.

7. "Local and state elections" delivered to the GOP, courtesy of the gun-control issue.

You could yell "Gun Nut!" a little louder, that would help.

3. A lot of us thought the same thing in 2000.

We cannot risk that, again.

4. Exactly

I don't believe George W Bush ever won an election in his life Karl Rove got ahold of Bush and found a way to steal elections If Florida didn't happen it would have been another state to hide votes or steal them.
The Govership election was just a proving ground for stealing elections.

8. The GOP field is really very very weak

10. Yes, now it is.

However, I think the GOP started out with one of the strongest roster of candidates that I'd seen in a long time. Walker, Rubio, Paul and Cruz were all young, energetic, media-savvy conservatives competing solidly for the "not Bush" vote. They would've been formidable candidates.

And then Donald Trump entered the race and took all the wind out of their sails. Now they're all spinning their wheels in the single-digit backwaters, virtually ignored by the media.

When Trump's candidacy implodes (and it's gonna implode, right?) these guys will be struggling to regain lost momentum, trying to remind voters who they are and most importantly, scrambling to raise money.

They coulda been contenders.

9. I have been thinking this recently. Scary.

I feel incredibly grateful to President Obama for who he is and has been. I do fear the tide of Repub hate.
