At the VERY latest, this guy will last until January 30 before "the accident."

IF he steals the election

The whole Biden campaign is a bait and switch scam. Elect Biden, then his health will be the excuse used when a retires from office a few months later. Sleepy Joe shuffles off to the nursing home, hello President Rice.

Wrong Rice... but, if only!

My caffeine must not have kicked in Doc. Why does an image of what appears to be a skinhead, licking a boot, represent members of the republican party? (and I'm not a republican, in case you're wondering.)

Those who pledge questionable loyalty to a political individual or group, no matter how great or terrible, are often traitors to liberty.

Okay, thanks. Very interesting Doc. I agree with what you wrote in reply, wholeheartedly.

In trying to tie all three elements together (the text in your image, the image itself, and what you wrote in reply to my question) I'm not sure they sync up. Particularly when it comes to a typical republican, who may only be a republican because they agree with what the party purports to be their core beliefs (e.g. lower taxes, less govt.) Call them naive? Yes, because they fall for the lower taxes and less govt BS, in spite of proof to the contrary.

I guess I'm saying I wouldn't characterize any republican who votes for Trump, particularly over Biden, as a boot licker.

If that's what you're saying, why do you think that?

Well, I meant to write unquestionable but it seems my autocorrect doesn't know that unquestionable is a word and I didn't catch the change.

I do not regard voters as part of the Republican Party. When I say a group's party, I'm specifically targeting elected officials. And while the Republican Party try to appear united, they seem at a loss on how to move forward on their issues since a great deal of the stances that Pro-Trump Republicans take are borderline liberal in nature.

Their method of tax relief only to the upper class and sparse with the middle class is still a form of trickle down economics which, according to the statistics, doesn't work. Even Reagan and Bush Sr. understood this. The Republicans re-instituted it to benefit from out temporary surplus before we plummeted into a war or two, or three. That combined with outrageous spending and key de-regulation caused the 2008 recession which we started to show some signs of recovery until this year. And while Trump's economic policy's haven't pushed us completely back over the brink to Bush era, our spending has only increased; not lessened as the Republicans stressed for over eight years. And when they were all in the car with a Republican driver, they did nothing to curve that spending but increased it.

I would consider a person who defends Trump a bootlicker as the key to Trump's Presidency isn't about him actually leading the people but doing everything to make him happy. To me, his happiness is meaningless if it is at the expense of the American's health and economy.

I get it, politically speaking, Trump is not the worst President in the history of the US. Normally his personality and general demeanor would be regarded as a footnote in terms of how he qualifies for office. And while he is certainly entertaining for both extremes, hate him or love him, I think the people who care less about him are sick of him. He's had too much exposure and is utterly incapable of not seeking attention. And this crisis we're in highlights his shortcomings as a leader as he is incapable of following the daily information pouring in, consuming it, and regurgitating in a coherent manner.

He just doesn't understand why his numbers are down. That's all he cares about.

That doesn't mean he is certain to lose come November. In fact, I fully expect him to win.

I meant RINO's. :-)

I don’t mind party members who do not feel the need to tow the party line. Outliers are you be expected. It’s the outliers who are incompetent, much like our President, that are the real problem.

Is he still considered an "outlier"?? He seems to essentially be the Republican party now.

Perhaps influencer would be a better description.

His own political affiliation has changed with the wind over the years, yet it seems anyone who isn't lockstep with him in 2020 is now considered a RINO.. I think it will be interesting to see what happens in his wake.

Explaining a fact that Republicans wanted to socialize healthcare mid-90s to mid-2000s that it became a bipartisan issue enough to roll out the Affordable Care Act does not mean I support socializing healthcare. I do not support socializing healthcare nor the overreach that Democrats would enjoy in applying it to birth control.

Yes, I'm against making abortion illegal. That doesn't mean I'm pro-abortion. On this issue, you might call me a moderate. At this time, with some exceptions, the limitations placed on those seeking abortions should suffice.

This desperate attempt to overturn Roe v. Wade by the Republican Party at the expense of women and doctors is no different than the Democrats ludicrous plan in the mid-nineties to increase prison sentences for drug addicts and drug dealers.

Much how most people balked at the so-called "free-healthcare" debacle which was, of course, not free - I suspect if Roe v. Wade were overturned and abortion made illegal, we may see a similar backlash again. I actually do not want that for the Republican Party and think it will do more harm than good.
