GOP Debate Thread 2: Fear the Trumpenstein

Clown fight in Vegas

PoliticsDecember 2015 • Views: 47,084

Now it’s time for the adult clowns to entertain us all with their world class lunacy, including the clowniest clown of all, Donald “The Clown” Trump, bane of the establishment GOP’s existence.

I think we know what’s going to be discussed, but if I had to sum it up in one word, that word would be FEAR. Fear is what the Republican Party’s selling this election. Well, every election to be precise, but this time around it’s pretty much taken over all the messaging: fear of immigrants, fear of refugees, fear of liberals, fear of Hillary Clinton, fear of socialism and communism and all kinds of imaginary stuff that goes bump in the Republican night — and above all, fear of Muslims. Since fear’s closest cousin is hatred, we’ll be getting a serving of that, too, but it’s really just a thin layer on top of a rich base of pure fear.

And when all is said and done, the Trumpenstein will crush everything and everyone.

GOP base voters like bombing the shit out of someplace across the world because IZLAMIC TERRISM

Cross doesn’t want to detain American citizens… unless they are bad guys.

On a broader note, Rubio and Cross are really going after each other now that theirs is a battle for second place rather than third.

Has a GOP jackass gotten around to saying “Kill them all, God will know his own” yet?

Cruz thinks we need a cold war era sized air force?

Gotta do something about all those Soviet bombers…

Look, if you want to embrace the concept of total war, then embrace it. But don’t be mealy mouth about it Cruz.

There’s an argument that if Daesh is a existential threat, then civilian industry and production are a part of the war effort that needs to be destroyed. But that’s a whole different debate.

Trump asked about his proposal to kill the family members of terrorists.

He is doubling down.

Also, too, wasn’t Huckabee in the big boy’s debate when these things started? He got busted all the way down to Santorum, Graham and that other guy. That’s quite a fall.
