As the country watches the fallout of the GOP's poor handling of the virus and so much more, Ed Rollins, co-Chairman of Trump Super Pac Great America, admits the election was causing panic before this but now they are "...sort of the stupid party".

As virus spreads across GOP ranks, some Republicans say party will pay price for ‘stupid’ approach

Sort of ??? Seems to me the GOP went all in for a full dose of stupid and went back for a second helping.

Rollins is right...A definition of a stupid party is one that mocks the corona virus than has its leadership fall like dominos due to the virus.

To a degree the conservative argument is "science says ___ would reduce spread but individual freedom matters more". Very similar to their views on gun control, "yes, they'll be some massacres but it's the price of freedom".

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.

I wouldn’t take any bets on that.

My belief individual freedom and science compels me to wear a mask and social distance.

How anybody could put trust in Trump and his supporters is a mystery.

The reason why the Left is the stupid party is they actually think that there are no counter examples.



You really do. You actually think that finding a Republican, likely in swing districts , being critical of their own party is an admission and only unique to Republicans.





That's pretty dumb now isn't it? Did you actually think there are no counter examples? Democrats attract far more idiots. Its obvious. We have the evidence right here.

We're all getting this virus.


You can either be a Dem-voting, pea-testicled Nancy OR just live your life.
