Wet their Depends!
They would send a “Hang in there” tweet to Hillary.
They would say that they consider Clinton a friend but disagree with her on the issues.
There is a slim chance Rubio might have gently raised the issue. But most likely they all would have said, “The FBI closed the book on this. I’m not going to get into the dirt trying to reopen a closed issue that would only stir up hard feelings. Republicans fight like gentlemen. It is for the good of the country, don’t you know.”
Being a coward is quite easy in the short run.
It would have been along the same lines as McCain’s “decent man” comments about Obama. And probably for the same reason McCain said it; their paid consultants would have told them to. And regardless, the media would have still attacked the Republican candidate just as viciously.
Trump is my hero! ok, OUR hero! :)
He meets the enemy head on and doesn’t flinch.
Mit showed us with bozo how he would respond.
Jeb would have run home to mommy.
I suppose McCain might have suspended the campaign for a few weeks.
Hilda would have a 20 point lead and we WOULD HAVE two new progressive supreme court justices
They would do nothing as they have done along with most of the republican party who have criticized Trump while saying nothing about Clinton the criminal.
Call a 2pm press conference yesterday, apologize for the US rule of law, and drop out of the race
The answer is a resounding NO! During the debate, Donald Trump looked Hillary, directly, into her eyes and told her when I get elected I am going to appoint a special prosecutor to look into your email situation. Can you imagine Jeb, Ted, forgot the woman’s name that ran or any of the rest of them doing that? Can you imagine any of them giving her the psychological moniker “Crooked Hillary”. Donald Trump has never wavered on her crookedness and has been pounding that theme from the time he became the nominee. He talked about Huma and Weiner having access to sensitive information which is on the front page today. His consistent hammering of the crooked one has embarrassed every law enforcement official in the profession.
When the NBC tape came out and they called for Donald to quit, can you imagine Jeb, Ted or any of them standing up to the onslaught the Donald did?
The real answer is:
NO, NONE OF THEM HAVE A PAIR LIKE HIM!
Oh they would have rolled over for a tummy scratch long ago
How about, “Who’s gonna be surprised if they find out that Yeb! and MiltRomley are mixed up in it too in some as of yet unknown way?”
No. HELL no! You don’t throw rocks at your boss.
Apologized?
McCain would tweet “We have nothing to fear from a Clinton presidency. She’s a good and decent woman!”
Man, I’m hoping DJT drains the swamp of crappola like Jeb,
and all the professional politicians.
It is my opinion that none of them would have hammered her any where near what Trump has done. We saw how McCain not only wouldn’t attack Obama, but publicly berated his supporters and anyone else that criticized Obama. At one point he said what a fine president Obama would make. When those things happened, I knew right then it was over. That doesn’t inspire anyone! What a complete, unattractive dud he was.
Romney did well in one debate, and after that dialed it back. Obama was riddled with a radical/shady past, but other than Palin in 2008, when she wasn’t being restrained by the McCain camp, not one of them had the guts to go after him. There was certainly enough ammo to go after him after 4 years in office! Even a good portion of our talkshow hosts were too scared to mention the shadiness in Obama’s history.
Our side has been stuck in the way campaigns used to be run. They have an old school, country club mentality. It all started in 92 with GHWB being so out of touch, and it has basically continued from there with all these old milquetoasts getting their turn every four years.
Even though GWB won twice, the first time by the skin of his teeth, his goody-two-shoes, reach-across-the-aisle attitude is a big reason why we have now had 8 years of Obama. I remember how the Bushies would brag about never attacking Obama. The Bushies were such class, people said. Too good for all that. But they have had no compunction about attacking Palin and now Trump. I get that they were rooting for Jebbie, but you know darn well the lot of them are voting for Hillary now. They actually side with and support that corrupt, evil woman! But hey, they are “class”.
That’s what we have on “our side”. That’s the “opposition” to radical, corrupt, and anti-American leftism. Either too weak-kneed and/or in bed with the other side. So no, looking at history, and the more recent past, they wouldn’t have called this most corrupt politician out at all. They would have allowed her to be number 45, and given a very gracious and “classy” concession speech. “Thank you, Sir, may I have another!” Unfortunately, all of us peons in fly over country are getting a walloping, too, when they willing bend over.
Exactly what they did in the primaries for Jeb and the election for mittens....roll over.
Either of them would have just stood there with a confused look on their faces.
