They're only reinforcing Trump's critique: the GOP is a party of "losers" and "failures" obsessed with peripheral trivia nobody else cares about, while ignoring everything that's killing your future.
Tonight I had to be lectured to by the insufferable Geraldo Rivera and his blonde sidekick Dana Perino who proceeded to surf one towering tsunami of indignation after another, each more laughably preposterous than its predecessor until they arrived at the conclusion that Trump had insulted everyone who ever wore a uniform.
Not really.
He said something dumb but continues to say other things that the Republican base -- the people who actually watch the polls, man the phones, drive the minivans, contribute the money, and try tirelessly to convert their moronic neighbors to some semblance of sanity in a world gone completely mad -- regards as remarkable because the people who benefit from our largess not only won't say it but insist on badmouthing us as knuckle-draggers and racists every chance they get.
I'll happily add the mandatory disclaimer: I'm not a Trump guy. But he sure has made the correct enemies, hasn't he?
I have gotten to the point that I turn off Geraldo when I see him...insufferable.
In fact, I even wrote Megyn Kelly to tell her this - figured it couldn’t hurt to give them my opinion.
Trump is an alpha male who can afford to say what he wants. Yes, he probably won’t get that far but maybe, just maybe, he will help the conservatives grow a spine. I am tired of the apologies and “reaching across the aisle” to make deals with the devil. I think those of us who gave the GOP a landslide and then were betrayed by the COPe probably all feel the same way.
