Dems Suddenly Fear Bernie, Bogus Bolton Takes, CNN Mocks Trump Voters

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Jim is back and shares the highly entertaining albeit frustrating tale of the high-maintenance passenger on his return trip from California. After detailing that saga, Jim and Greg are immensely entertained by national Democrats realizing only now what a train wreck of a nominee Bernie Sanders would be and scrambling to make sure he's not the nominee. They also weigh in on the latest political and media reaction to John Bolton allegedly confirming a quid pro quo with Ukraine, and while they admit there are grounds for debating Bolton's tactics in recent months, the accusations he was never a conservative are ludicrous. And they unload on CNN, Don Lemon, and former Republican strategist Rick Wilson for their sneering mockery of Trump voters.

    1. On Karens, sometimes they need their phones gently removed from their hands and a ball gag gently inserted into their mouths.
    2. On Bolton, despite the possibly accurate leaks, we have no idea what he would be saying if he did testify. We know the publication that printed the supposed content makes stuff up or uses "sources" who lie. For all we know, The Walrus could go in and say, "I hate Trump, but he was doing the right thing here," as several current and former ambassadors did in earlier testimony.
    3. On mocking Trump voters, I am reminded about the Yale professor who thought tea party people were morons. He did a study and found that those who identified with the tea party were smarter, more educated, and better informed than any other group, including Progressives.

    One must be suspicious, if that "study" wasn't immediately memory-holed.

    It pretty much was. Not only that, he said, “Well, just because they aren’t stupid doesn’t mean they’re good people.”

    Interesting, that's how I see liberals. :-)

    Although as Reagan said, "The problem with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant. It's that they know so much that isn't so."

    I think so. But as more of these Project Veritas videos come out showing how Marxists are in the democrat party (just through the Bernie campaign so far - but would it surprise you that nearly all the campaigns have staffers just as violent?

    I am wondering if there isnt a fair part of the democrat party understands the outcomes of their policies, and are evil or crazy enough to support it anyway?

    Remember that James Hodgkinson was also a Bernie volunteer and Rachel Maddow fan. Was he just the first?
