During a panel discussion on HBOs Real Time, host Bill Maher wondered what exactly GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump had to do before hardcore Republican voters would get in touch with their humanity and refuse to vote for him.
Speaking with writers Rebecca Traister, Andrew Sullivan and former Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey, Maher posed the question: The GOP can get rid of Donald Trump, but can they get rid of Trumpism?
According to Traister, the worst of Trump has been a major part of the Republican Party for some time.
The fact is, Republican voters who knew they were going to be facing Hillary Clinton, who hate Barrack Obama, who object to the people who vote for Democrats, people of color and women, selected a candidate who embodies the racism and sexism that are the very forces that kept people of color and women disenfranchised for centuries and away from the White House until now, she explained before adding, They picked him.
When I look at the electoral map, Maher replied, I see states that Trump apparently cannot possibly lose. The pink are likely Republican and the red are, like he said, I could shoot somebody in the middle of 5th Avenue and they wouldnt leave me.'
Listing off several deep red states, Maher asked, I know theyre Republican mostly, but theyre human, right?
These are human beings, he continued. What the f*ck does it take, in this country, to have being a human being supersede being a Republican?

(73 posts)I could ask Bill the same question about having Ann Coulter on his show. He just had her on again last night. She is a vile ignorant hate mongering piece of shit. She has no opinions worth listening to. All she does is sling baseless insults and spread conspiracy theory bullshit about Democrats. And he consistently gives her a tv platform from which to do it. Thus helping her stay in the spotlight to sell more of her vile 3rd grade level insult books.

People like that need people like us to counter their backwards thinking. Even though he is a Trashpot supporter ...I like him and we are "friends"
