Colbert takes the gloves off on Trump

[ssu]

Just because they are pissed, doesn't mean Trump is losing his base, it means he's losing the ardent praise of certain DCF Misfit Refugees.

I remember you being one of those wavering in their view about Trump clearly and getting called for that.

Oh please, people here aren't misfits.

Misfits is just a name ordinary people give to themselves. Bunch of right-wing people of whom many have served in their militaries aren't misfits.

[StCapps]

You see somebody getting enthusiastic about a candidate is telling. That people here started to be enthusiastic about Trump was an indicator as is that they aren't as enthusiastic anymore is also telling.

Mere coincidence, they are not indicative of the will of the American electorate, they just think they are.

Well I don't know what you're talking about so you are going to have to be more specific and then I can clarify why your impression of my views on Trump are likely mistaken.

People here follow politics far more than the usual voter, that's for sure.

One reason among many why they are a terrible barometer of the American electorate. The average voter doesn't follow politics much at all. The Misfit Refugees want to imagine themselves as the silent majority who won Trump the election, but that doesn't make it true, don't fall for that nonsense.

I wasn't talking about the media. I was talking about this site, Smitty.

Oh, the Dan Carlinites? They are perpetually outraged, they are outraged just for the sake of being outraged, the people on this site are not a metric of anything, the Americans around here are alienated from the rest of the country, that's why they're here, they got nowhere else to go, because no one else can stand them. The Americans on this site are strangers in their own land, even the Trump supporters here, would get the shit beat out of them at a Trump rally.

Likely not.

Things like the wall, or the other campaign promises do matter. You can assume that the GOP can pull them back to the midterms and back with demonization of the next DNC candidate, but it isn't such an easy thing.

Nothing on this board is telling, campaign promises don't matter, and you can assume that the Democrats will run a Leftarded patsy in 2020, the GOP will Dukakis the shit out of that commie faggot, and people on this board will be blubbering for the sake of blubbering the whole time.

You can set your clocks by it.

Dukakis won't cut it, the Democrats need to run someone who is politically crafty, like a Ronald Reagan or Bill Clinton, or they are fucked.
Can't beat Trump with a Chump.

[Smitty-48]

There's a cycle to this shit, right now, the Democrats are in the leaderless weak and divided phase, all they do is wail about Trump, because that's all they have to talk about, they're not going to be in a position to take the incumbent down in the next election, they will bide their time and wait for 2024, in the meantime, you run a patsy, a Mondale, a Kerry, somebody they know is not going to win, but just throw him out there as a place holder. It was the same thing with Obama, the GOP knew that neither McCain nor Romney had a hope in hell, but that was the whole point, you never go for broke, into the teeth of the incumbent.

The odds of beating the incumbent are so low, it's not worth blowing your wad, you keep your powder dry and wait for your opportunity, at the end of the second term. Even then, you can still blow it, if you go and run a Dukakis, the Democrats are prone to blowing themselves up, Dukakis all over again, their Leftarded wing can still bring them down, even when it is their turn in the cycle.

At least someone else is paying attention, Bob Dole is another great example of a patsy being lead to the slaughter on the GOP side, and George McGovern might be the best example of all on the DNC side.

Hell I've been telling these chumps on this board this shit ever since Trump got elected and it was obvious the Democrats had no bench. They don't listen very well though.

[Smitty-48]

If there is a stud liberal out there, who is thinking they can really be President, they're not going to risk it all against the incumbent, they will wait for their opening, that's the thing, the parties can't get their studs to run against the incumbents, the studs bide their time, they don't blow their wad until they think it is a sure bet.

Generally, you only get one shot at it, so you don't go for it, when there is an incumbent in the way, let the party run a designated patsy this round, next round is when the way will be open.
