These stories dont come from republicans because regardless of how you feel about Trump as a person his POLICIES still reflect the republican platform and republican voters would never embrace the democrat platform just to spite Trump.

Yeah Trumps a dick so I want open borders, slavery reparations, pro China trade policies, higher taxes, defund police, BLM riots... just to regroup. Sure.

So how would our next candidate fare better with the opposing party in the white house?

He wouldnt UNLESS he was a democrat whose only platform is ruining everything the country does and saying they arent as bad.
But Trump is president now, has he had success stories in any of those items you mentioned, does he take responsibility? But we are to believe we have to reelect him and the next 4 years will be suddenly different, he is going to lower taxes and prevent illegal immigration with his wall and stop the riots.

The president and the red state governors have done a horrible job with the virus ignoring all the science even from their own experts. I think we have seen enough failure.

It's not an out right denial of science but the believe that individual freedom matters more than using science to protect everyone. Given how many more GOP leaders are getting COVID than Democrats I'd say it's not a coincidence.
Excellent points! They believe that individual freedom is more important than others’ freedom from harm.

However DJT does seem to doubt science, believing is delusions. Even now he is taking issue with Mark Meadows who seems to be doing truthtelling about his boss’s case of covid.But perhaps DJT’s attitude of denial is crucial to his mental health.

King Canute couldn't turn the tide, eh?

(I know, it wasn't King Canute himself who thought that - he made a point to his flatterers. Shaddup.)

GOP Admits "Now We're Sort of the Stupid Party"

The GOP was always the Stupid Party.

Now they are the willfully negligent, Stupid Party.

There is NO price that the GOP can pay that will ever fix this mess.

If I went back over your posting history would I find you taking exception to the drivel we have been force fed re: the number of genders that "science" says exist, the periods that males are supposed to be able to have and the abortions that males should be entitled to, the tampon machines that can be found in male rest rooms, and the pronouns that we are now suppose to be using as replacements for he and she?

Would I find your lack of excitement over the first woman president when anyone, on any day, can wake up, get out of bed, and self-identify as something other than the gender they were born?

Would I find your outrage at the decimation of girls and womens sports (particularly at the high school and college level) because males have been allowed to compete against females?

Would I find any eye rolling on your part over the Ocasio Cortez proclamation that we're all going to die in "like 12 years'" because of climate change?

It's kind of like the recent outrage over violence perpetrated by white nationalists, when it is groups such as Antifa and BLM (and their useful idiots both black and white on the left) that have been burning cities to the ground and perpetrating violence against anyone who happened to get the in the way.

Libs make proclamations that are counter intuitive and completely wrong. Lies. Lies about violence, burning, death and destruction. Lies about conservatives ignoring science. Lies.

what trump said to the public had zero effect on the govt response and zero effect on what the public did. I suppose YOU watched him downplay the virus then went out and licked public barhrooms etc?
I dont think so. NObody listened to the president and changed their behavior because we all know everything he says is a lie.

Mask regulations and lockdowns came from the state level. Nobody gave a **** about Trumps assurances.
