"Come one, Reg, she's not a Republican."Actually, today I think she is THE Republican...and the many people that
actually call themselves Republicans...I'm not really sure what they are. I will clarify...when I think of a Republican I think Eisenhower and
Nixon...not the fucking fruit loops we have now. I know that sounds like
I am living in the past...and maybe I am...but these guys we have now,
Nixon would laugh at and Eisenhower would spit on in disgust. Which oddly
seems to be what Clinton did to Trump in the debates. "She believes in evolution, human caused climate change, higher taxes on
the wealthy, funding planned parenthood, retaining gay rights advances
and the Iran nuke deal."I think she believes in whatever is beneficial to her politically at any
given moment. So, if tomorrow she thought it would be best to support
killing all the dolphins in the world she would immediately support the
death of all dolphins. She was against gay rights advances until it
became better for her to be for gay rights advances. What I have read is
the first 100 days of her presidency is going to be all about pleasing
the Republicans and so expect her to promote that as "reaching across the
aisle."
"She'll nominate justices to the Supreme Court that you can live with."My guess is that she will nominate someone like Merrick Garland, that
pleases Republicans as well. Obviously, Obama did that specifically
because Republicans claimed to like Garland but also said they would
block any nomination until after the election. So, he obviously was
screwing with them. "Have you checked out the odious positions and beliefs of Mike Pence?
Holy shit, he's bat shit crazy!"Exactly, and not what I would call a Republican. Not sure why the
Republicans allowed their party to become associated with stupidity,
hysteria, and ignorance as it is not a great platform to run on. Nor has
it worked out well for them."On every issue that means something to you, THAT guy is GOP on
steroids!"Well, the lunatic wing of the GOP, yes. "And remember, even if we take the senate, the house will remain under
Paul Ryan, and he's scared shitless of the Freedom Caucus so not a lot is
going to get done unless it's by executive order."Yes, this is another one of the items I think Republicans and Democrats
fully agree on...GRIDLOCK. They love it. They love creating it for as
long as possible because if they are gridlocked nothing gets done, no
votes occur on things that might haunt them in an election, and business
as usual can continue. Plus then both sides can sit there pointing at the other saying
"Gridlock, gridlock, gridlock."
