I might get banned from DU for saying this! But when these Republicans

are saying they are tired of Washington for being inactive, aren't these same fools who have been blocking President Obama for keeping what he said he would do during his tenure? These low lives have been blocking the President every which way and now they are saying Washington has failed! Gosh, the Clown Bus is full, hope none of those idiots get even close to the White House!

Yes, these are the very same ones who did all that and more.
McConnell said from day one his first job is to oppose Obama's agenda 100%.

Complain about nothing being done. Complain about Obama changing everything. He's either an ineffectual bumbler or a despotic authoritarian. Rinse repeat.

Now they've whittled their support down to a bunch of rabid fundamentalists who think Armageddon is around the corner and of course the monied donors.

Trump figured out how snag the adulation of the fundies and now the donors are shitting themselves trying to figure out how to right the ship.

Banned for that? Hope not.

Canada and the US, including the UK and Australia are responsible for this indignity. Why is Germany the only country being humanitarian. It sucks when you see the images on TV!

Never before in American history, you see these police beating up on Afro Americans but they hated President Obama so much, that they went rampant on black people and every fucking white people in authority stayed silent.

Now, I hope Blake will take this issue to the forefront and make the injustice go away. When you see that video, as a mother you cried! That could be our son or daughter! I was at a place where my daughter dropped me off to catch the skytrain, lots of other people were there, but this white police targeted my daughter and gave her a ticket but not the other people. I told my daughter, we will go to court, I am from Guyana by the way and brown skinned. Canada is no less racist than the US.

Her Dad is trying to make some kind of policy to control who owns guns and the NRA is not interested. It makes you wonder how come a group of gun totting people have no remorse for the innocent lives that are being taken without no gun control in the US!

You bet they're the same ones who have blocked everything. They're now complaining about it because they know their right wing base has a memory that doesn't allow them to remember breakfast, much less who is responsible for the gridlock in Congress.

This is the most pathetically stupid, pandering, and craven bunch of "candidates" I have ever seen in my life, and I'm old. In years gone by, you could count on at least one man on their stage making sense, although his poll numbers were in the basement because nobody on the right likes to hear anything particularly sensible. Not this year. None of them is presidential material. Ruthlessness is not intelligence, and I'm afraid ruthlessness is all that party has left.

This is the first time in history I have seen so much pathetic candidates on the GOP side and may the Lord blast the US if Trump is the nominee and gets elected and Harper here in Canada gets elected. Then North America is fucked.

seeing that they have gotten about 98% of what they wanted for the last 6 years.

Why should they change their winning strategy now?

I look at it this way, myself and many others could easily see what was going on with the GOP from the git go. So either Pres Obama was clueless or naive about what the GOP would do, which I doubt because he is not an idiot or it is what he really wanted because it is what the 1% wanted.

Choose clueless or naive then one admits that Pres Obama is not really qualified to be POTUS choose the other it was intentional then one admits who Pres Obama is really working for the 1%.
