One line of NeverTrump thinking has it that a big Trump loss would be an opportunity for the GOP to learn to stay away from all “Trumpy” mistakes in the future. That may be at least partially right. I’m not a big fan of Trumpiness myself if “Trumpiness” means Twitter trollery and lying about paying off porn stars and whatnot.
Don’t nominate pedophiles.
None of these matter. The Democrats and more importantly the Leftists need to be defeated to try to force them to snap back into reality. Until Obama came around, the Democrats always had to run a Southern or a vice presidential Southern who had a tiny bit of common sense. (And no I wouldn’t consider Delaware or Maryland to be Southern states anyway, and in the 21st Century I wouldn’t consider Virginia to be a Southern state either with North Carolina and Georgia sliding into crazy town too.)
The Democrats have all gone completely crazy. Look at the impeachment votes. Trump was impeached for expressing some interest in what Biden did illegally or unethically, but Biden can be elected and not impeached for this?
The Democrat Party doesn’t even exist anymore. The Leftist media has the real power along with the colleges and educational systems, Hollywood, and big city corrupt politicians.
Democrats only partially learn from their mistakes. They plow ahead with their intentions, but disguise them with rhetoric that sounds conservative. For example, they promote veterans, Christians, and “pro-gun” candidates who are really stealth vessels for their real agenda, which is to transform America into an unarmed, secular, and military/police-hating Marxist “Utopia” . . .
The “giant” is not a publisher, it is a printer. Publishers obviously control their content and have some responsibility for it. As a platform (printer) they can accept or reject jobs. If there is a need for a better platform it could become the next giant. Compete with ideas and don’t whine.
The mistake according to Democrats is always the messaging, never the message. Because, you know, everyone wants Marxist Totalitarianism. Look at all the successes, Cuba, Venezuela, China, North Korea.
Not true. Which of course you know.
Wrong. The president of Ukraine brought up Biden. Trump went along with the conversation, agreed that an investigation was appropriate, and then changed the subject.
Throw away your copy of Socialist Tips for Dummies, dust off The Constitution and read it – there will be a test.
You are already licking the hands. The chains won’t bother you at all, I’m sure.
Therefore Twitter, evidently, is free to censor but should not censor, inasmuch as that would be suppression of ideas.
But who’s for suppressing socialism? I’m for opposing it politically, not suppressing it.

I have a mild objection to the Avenatti production of a woman who has a photo at a golf tournament. I have some of those, too. Not with her but then I don’t have that much money.
Woo hoo!
Amen.
Do we have any evidence Biden is that kind of bad? I’m only aware of weird hair-sniffing.
I do not know. I really don’t.
Didn’t know that either. Well, well.
After the 1988 election, Democrats looked back and realized that they had lost 5 of the last 6 elections, and had won back in 1976 only after Watergate. Thus was born the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) who moderated the Democrats somewhat.
After Iowa and New Hampshire this year, Democrats became terrified that Bernie would be the new face of the Democrats. Biden came in second at the Nevada caucuses, and then won 50% of the vote in South Carolina. Buttigieg, Klobuchar, and Bloomberg quickly withdrew and threw their support to Biden.
Political parties have a strong sense of survival. If what they are doing has led them to defeat, they change.
With all due respect, your use of the the slur GOPe for the establishment GOP, suggests that you are headed to a “teachable moment” of your own.
Or rapists.
Senator Lamar Alexander disagrees with you. He concluded that the House Managers had made their case, but that it did not rise to justify Trump’s removal.
Whom are we talking about here?
There is no evidence of pedophilia by Biden. None. Biden is like your old maiden aunt who uses too much perfume and insists of hugging and kissing nieces and nephews who don’t feel comfortable.
Dang. The word “a” was not supposed to be there.
The d’s (biden-harris) are all in on rioting and looting. Neither they or the Secretary of Looting (that would be Nancy Pelosi) are capable of learning anything.
What a foolish response.
E. Jean Carroll. Her defamation case can go to trial if Trump is defeated in the election.
Here is the citation: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/01/31/lamar-alexanders-yes-he-did-it-statement-trump-annotated/. The summary:
While the president’s lawyers have said he did nothing wrong, Alexander disagrees. In fact, he says Democratic House impeachment managers proved their case — that Trump withheld aid and a White House meeting for his desired investigations and that it was “inappropriate.” He said he just doesn’t think Trump’s actions are worthy of removal from office.
Well, that was badly phrased. You mean we’re talking about Trump.
Is this woman’s testimony any more credible than that of Tara Reid? (I really don’t know. I vaguely remember hearing something about someone’s testimony, but I can’t even recall which person.)
Ok, but how is that relevant to Flicker’s remark about how the original conversation went?
We should all pitch in and get Gary a Trumpy Bear for Christmas:
