Your head is inside something preventing you from seeing and hearing, yes??

Not every advisor will hit the trifecta, but he'll do his best.

He's a white country club voter. Liberty means no one monitoring his porn watching habits other than the people trying to sell him more porn.

Stuff like overturning Roe v. Wade, racially motivated arrests and police violence, voting rights suppression, and harassing the press isn't his concern.

Holy shit.

The idea of a constitutional convention is a pet of Cruz and Co., but a lot of other Rs have backed them as well.

They'd like to dial back the establishment and supremacy clauses, don't see much point to due process, and in some cases even want elected Supreme Court Justices. Balanced budget and state mandated single sex marriage are also popular.

No worries, though, because Sebby says Hillary is just as big a threat to liberty.

My governor will be the first to do it. For all of their stated love of the Constitution, these fuckers actually hate it with a passion.

OTOH, if some state like California wants to hijack it and put up the ERA for consideration or overturn Citizen's United, I'm all for it. Seems to me that 38 states is an awful lot.

Pretty sure this would have happened if Hillary had won, but then we wouldn't have gotten those important State Department e-mail server issues sorted out.

Your party's offer to the Trump voters: Managed decline.

You can cite all the planks from Hillary's platform regarding retraining, and education, or whatever other superficial fix she offered, all day long, but that was the shit sandwich Trump voters would be receiving. And they knew it. They'd be getting more job losses, and lower wages, assuaged with safety nets rather than addressed with policies directed at producing credible domestic economic growth.

Now, we can argue about whether those folks deserve what they're getting, which many of them do. And we can argue how much Trump is full of shit in his belief he can bring them back jobs. (I'd say far more than not.) But what's not up for debate is that your party sold stagnation. For years, two thirds of the country has been stating it believes we are on the wrong track. The Democrats' campaign promise? More of the same! But it's somehow still Gary Johnson's fault. Give me a fucking break.

I know when we think firebrands, Reince Priebus is the first image that pops into most peoples' heads...

Re: I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.
 

Roe isn't going anywhere. Nor is gay marriage. You're overwrought. Get a grip on yourself.

Re: I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.
 

A spineless milquetoast. A figurehead to give a shred of legitimacy to the cabinet of misfits.

You must be able to come up with something better than this.

Re: I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.
 

You're so very good at bobbing and weaving, changing the subject. Have you thought about running for office?

Re: I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.
 

Sure. And Hillary's going to win Pennsylvania. Everyone calm down.

Re: I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.
 

No offense, but your track record on these types of pronouncements has been pretty weak of late. In fact, if I had believed you every time in the last six months you said something would absolutely certainly happen, I would be pretty mad at you right now. Fortunately for our friendship, I pretty much disregard all of your predictions. In fact, I figured out that the main reason you like going commando so much is so that your voice is less muffled when you start declaring things like "Hillary will take Pennsylvania by 6!"
