Clinton surrogate skewers the GOP: Trump got picked because you think ‘Duck Dynasty is a think tank’

Trump supporter Kayleigh McEnany spoke on CNN about the ways in which the Republican Party and many of its establishment members worked against Trump and “disrespected” the voters who supported him. “Without Republican voters, the Republican Party won’t exist,” she determined.


The comeback was a thing of pure beauty:

“Without independent voters, no candidate is going to be a credible candidate for president,” Clinton surrogate Robert Zimmerman replied. “Donald Trump succeeded in a Republican Party where 44 percent of them think the president is a secret Muslim. To that voter, Duck Dynasty is a think tank. Donald Trump still won’t even recognize that President Obama is an American citizen. So, it tells you just how bankrupt Donald Trump is ethically and morally and also how dysfunctional, how extreme the Republican Party has become. That’s the real issue here.”

Trump, as I recall, maybe go 45% of the total vote having it split among so many candidates.
It would make sense to me that a run off occur with the top 2 or three at least until a clear majority is reached.

Depravity being defined as moral corruption. Trump is depraved. The cowardly GOP "leadership" is depraved for supporting Trump. The Trump voters depraved for voting for him. This election is about more than just policy. It's about character, decency, and morality.

The sad part is, some people who support Trump probably DO think Duck Dynasty is a think tank.

is a docu-comedy that shows the America that Republicans want to "take us back to". If Trump watches any TV, Dunce Dynasty has to be one of his favorite shows to provide inspiration for his own pursuits.

Cartoon Hillary ... but before her there were other invented demons

Birtherism then Benghazi and let's not forget their love affair with
Obamacare, actually known as the Affordable Care Act

It's the same opportunists who thought all electronic things would
cease to function on 01012000, not to mention bought the line on
WMD

They will fantasize ANYTHING to suit their paranoia and agenda

ANYTHING at all
