Ann Coulter Thinks Donald Trump Is GOP’s Best Bet, Maher Panel Erupts

From immigration and the “Latino registration machine” to the GOP’s apparent inability to recognize the racial aspects of the Charleston church shooting, Real Time host Bill Maher had a field day with his panelists on Friday night’s show. Yet it’s the “Overtime” segment’s extra nuggets that made for some of the most WTF-worthy viewing, especially for this reaction from MSNBC’s Joy Reid:

Of all the possible conversation topics, what could have triggered such a reaction from Reid? Oh nothing, really — just guest Ann Coulter‘s funny-but-serious answer to Maher’s question about “which Republican candidate has the best chance of winning the general election.” Coulter’s response? “Of the declared ones? Right now, Donald Trump.”

Add to that the two times Coulter shut conservative writer Matt Lewis down with the “Still talking!” line, and you’re in for a viewing treat.

I believe Trump when he says he wants to ban guns.

"I actually heard from 2 of my friends and both their husbands love Trump. On of the idiots even voted for Obama in 2008. He is touching a nerve with some people"

Listen to WRKO on line out of Boston, both Howie Carr and Jeff Kuhner. You would think Trump has a lock on that part of the country. They are ground central for as they would say "moonbats" and have a tough slog being conservatives in statism central. They see the strong medicine needed...

We’ve believed and went along for many years.

And for many years we’ve been conned, lied to, hoodwinked, embezzled and looted. What’s left of the middle class America chokes.

But by golly we’d better not believe Trump. He’s trying to screw us...

As the audience of fools applaud.

Matt Lewis works for The Cheap Labor Express. Watch him carefully. He may be introduced as a conservative writer, but he’s not.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Is he out?

[Lurkinanloomin]

He’s very slick. He was at Townhall during the 2008 campaign and while not endorsing McCain directly, he constantly undermined all the rest of the candidates, helping McAmnesty secure the nod.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Sorry, I think I mistook the question. I have non-functional gaydar and don’t really care what people do if they don’t tell me about it.

There are a lot of unhappy Dems out there unemployed also.

There are over 90,000,000 unemployed Americans. Not all of them want to work, but those that do want to work are strong potential Trump voters.

[Balding_Eagle]

Ann Coulter is a ‘publicist’, first & foremost.

I'd like to add to that; Rush Limbaugh is an ‘entertainer’, first & foremost.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Agreed.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Why does she love Romney so much? I cannot understand or, sorry to say, respect that.

[VerySadAmerican]

Got it. What about a lesbian in the closet? Does she need a “pole”? Nope, that won’t work.

[mountainbunny]

Trump loves abortion, gun control, and gives plenty of cash to Democrats. Plus, he’s a walking train wreck who will leave the Republican debates in smouldering ruins.

Of course Democrats love him.

[EEGator]

I don’t get it either.

[trebb]

Same thing she thought about Romney. How’d that turn out Annie?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well we can only go by what the candidates say. So far Trump has not said anything that you have posted.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Ann was right—Mitt Romney would be a better leader than Obama. Would he have done something about IS? You Bet! We would be in much better shape with Mittens in The White House than Obama.

[TNMOUTH]

And Christie...

[nickcarraway]

That’s a myth. She never dated Maher. But I think she did date a Muslim guy.
