The GOP base is schizophrenic.

[YellowSnow51]

They love Chris Christie as the conservative Savior. Then he says thanks to Obama for helping he his state after a hurricane and suddenly became a liberal leftist freak. Donald Trump supports the Clintons, he is on record saying he is pro-choice and is a blatant chicken hawk. And they can't get enough of him. Morons.

 

[gonegolfing]

I'll help you here. Conservatives liked Christie because he was a straight talker which this country so badly needs. When he blew Obama and cost Mitt the election, his chances were rightly over with. Conservatives like Trump because he too is a straight talker and not pussified like the left wants all people to be. Plus, he's hitting the country's biggest issue straight on which wasn't even talked about until DT announced.

Who cares about pro-choice? Not me. Would I kill a baby in my wife's body? No. Do I want even more crackhead bloodsuckers running around this country? No. Chickenhawk sounds like a word people who are afraid of national security conversations use.

LOL...and the first response is textbook confirmation of the op.

 

[The Tradition]

It wasn't just saying "Thanks, Obama"... it was the walking arm in arm like they were on a date that did him in.

Love is in the air....

Is this theory that Christie cost Mitt the election a real thing in conservative circles?

 

[ottumwan in tx]

It is simple: the gop is dead. Donald is new school. His base is new party. Now is the time for trump to go indy.

 

[YellowSnow51]

And that somehow suddenly made him a liberal as is contended here. He was hoped for by the same people as the choice for Mitt's VP to give him cred with the far right.

Like I said. Schizos.

no, that's like saying light blue just made the color blue a shade darker.

Camera adds ten pounds. There were a lot of cameras on the beach that day.

Why do I feel like OiT fell off a cliff in the middle of typing a sentence?

I don't quite get this, but I thank you kindly for the reply.

 

[MitchL]

Sure is. You see, the GOP blames everyone else for their losses without looking within. Never mind the base adopts unpopular stances on issues. Never mind that the general public does not want more war. Nevermind that the GOP immigration policy is somewhat inhumane. Never mind that the majority of America is pro-choice.

This philosophy that the primary Cruz advisor has accepted will absolutely blow up in their face if he is the nominee. Republicans seem to want to believe Latinos and Blacks will not vote in mass this time. That sounds to me like a fatal belief.

The Dems don't necessarily take the right stance every time, but unlike the GOP, they don't take the WRONG stance EVERY time.

 

[YellowSnow51]

Lol...wut? You mean like the left blames voter suppression, gerrymandering, "the voters not understanding the issues" and fearmongering, every time they lose one? Especially the first two.

 

[MplsHawk]

Is this theory that Christie cost Mitt the election a real thing in conservative circles?

Who knows if he cost Mitt the election? I think conservatives dislike Christie because they believe he was trying to cost Mitt the election. It makes sense. If he planned on losing weight and running in 2016 he wouldn't want a Republican to be in the White House.

The blame game has gotten more exposure because of the current POTUS. When the GOP occupies the WH, we don't get that daily blast from so-called news sources like FNC. When the Dems are in power, even Fox Business Channel spends 50% of their air time dealing with political bias.

Do you see the difference? You don't see CNN and MSNBC with the same amount of bashing. Not even close!

I'm sure FNC is going to have a difficult time arranging programming should the GOP win in November. The anti-Dem hosts won't have anyone to criticize and second guess. Since they typically hire shamed losing Republican candidates, the pool might be a bit smaller.

What the hell are you talking about?

There have been 2 elections where republicans have destroyed the Dems and just about every dem on every message board I visit blames the GOP for cheating through voter suppression or rigging the maps through gerrymandering. Not because the dems had worse candidates.

In that yammering thing you just did, you mentioned nothing about that point I made.

And MSNBC is just as bad if not worse than FOX on their fabrications and blasting of the right. I watch it every day. It's well documented here.

You obviously have no idea who the base is. The base has never supported Christie or Trump.

You are wrong and I will call you on it! MSNBC isn't even close to FNC as far as their individual bias. Fox has no one who is even remotely neutral on their political opinions. At least from the people who "host" talk shows.

Scarborough is a GOPer all the way and doesn't hide that fact.

Care to try again?

What do you call the 30% supporting trump if they aren't the base and aren't the establishment?

Now that is funny.

They probably deserve your skepticism for past actions, but the company has moved away from their liberal slant over the last year to try to combat ratings lows.

Shep Smith is a known liberal. He's only at the beginning of their prime time run. Oops...your cluelessness is showing.

And again, I see you still HAVENT responded to my original point. Don't blame you. You can't.

No, chickenhawks are pussies who are paid employees of Military manufacturing companies, that work their way into office so those same companies can make money off of warfare they themselves will never be part of.

They're almost always lacking in any sort of military experience as well.

Laughable at best.

Hmmm, that could be. I for the most part stopped watching most news, and especially everything political to the extent possible, a few years ago. I miss the eye candy reporting the news more than I miss the news itself. I accidentally caught part of my first debate last Saturday night.

While not particularly enamored with the evident political leanings of most everyone on Fox and CNN, most hosts would at least let both sides of the argument be heard most of the time. That is particularly true during the daytime shows, less so on shows like Hannity's or Fox and Friends. On the other hand, I used to find the bias on MSNBC to be like a constant SNL parody skit, much like a full day of Fox and Friends. No thanks.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

I think neither the media nor yellow understands the true base.

Many GOPers are without a Party and those who say they have a Party are without a country. It is their own creation. When you try and mix politics and religion you get neither.

You haven't been watching.

Matthews, Maddow, Hayes and O'Donnell (their primetime lineup) haven't changed their tune one bit.

Well I'm just glad you're okay

Do you have a link for this? I've seen some crazy right-leaning websites claim he's a liberal because of some of his comments on Fox about Kim Davis. But I'm not seeing any concrete evidence outside of those websites.

The rest of the their line up has. No more rev. Al or Ed. There is a shift.
