They are totally clueless which is why nearly a year later they are still in shock that Trump is President.
Very true. Spot on! Wish I could rep ya again right now.

yeah? Well, we know what your game is, and it isn't working. Trump is no chameleon, but nice try.

I think you've proved one thing though ...Trump supporters are smarter than you are.

He believes Marcia Blackburn would have defeated him if he had chosen to run again, and he believes she will win his seat.

It's now clear why Bannon left the White House. He can do more good for the administration on the outside. He's a smart man.

We will defeat these entrenched establishment, anti-American progressive elitists in both Parties. This is about saving America.
Oh please you can't get anymore establishment than Bannon, he is a ex goldman sachs guy who works for the Mercer family. His big trick is getting the low information RightWing to think he is "anti" establishment and thier guy.

Bannon works for Mercer. Mercer hates worker rights, and it against any reg that might empower his surfs or reduce his profits.

The Mercer family are one of the great evils of our Time, Bannon signed up with his uber elite buddies to put the last few nails in the coffin of working class, and middle class americans.

You guys have been conned hard and long, doubt me? tell me how employment at will has helped you? or tell me why you still don't get real paid vacation or redundancy payments. You guys got conned and you all continue to cheer for the guy wearing the jack boot that is crushing your dreams.

It totally kills me every time Bannon talks about 'the Elites".


As if he weren't one of them! Goldman Sachs working for the Mercers'.


Who is buying what this carnival barker is selling?

But that is FALSE. Even Snopes, who many conservatives believe is run by liberals, said such: Donald Trump Said Republicans Are the "Dumbest Group of Voters"?

Exactly. He played on fear. He preyed on fear.

I almost feel sorry for his base if they actually believe he cares about them or the country. They are heading for a fall.

He cares only about himself and that will determine how he governs. It's Bannon, the con artist's job to keep the base alive and throw them red meat while Trump acts like he's getting along with congress and can pass legislation. Problem is he can't act because of his thin skin and blows his top every other day, destroying everything.

After Bannon declared war on McConnell at that convention this weekend, Trump and Jared congratulated him on a great job. Then a couple hours later Trump gave that fake press conference trying to convince people that he and McConnell were buds.

Trump/Bannon are con men who work as a team. Those in the base are the marks.

You have to hand it to the Republicans though. Since the shotgun wedding between the GOP and the Southern Racial Conservatives in the late ‘60’s they have raised the use of the dog whistle to an art form. They’ve always been able to stoke the fears and resentments of the racial conservative base and get them to the polls.

The difference with Trump is that he dropped the code word strategy and was very open about what he represented, and he won, which means we haven’t progressed as a society as much as we had hoped.

Psssst, I don't want to embarrass you because you might not get paid by Media Matters, but one reason Trump won was because of Democrats who had voted for Obama. They crossed over and voted Republican this time because the usual Dem dog whistle of 'free stuff' and 'soak the rich' never panned out!

You realize how stupid you sound? I highly recommend everyone take a look at her post history. Nearly every post is calling someone racist. That isn't an argument. Also it's 2017 no one cares if they are called racist anymore. Now why don't you tell everyone exactly what your ethnicity is?
