He truly thinks Trump is what is wrong with the republican party. 

 

Watching Joe's daily meltdowns after basically humping Trump's pant leg for a year is pretty funny.

Well Trump said something mean about Mika (plastic surgery on her chin IIRC) and Joe hasn't been the same since. There is some credibility to taking offense but it shouldn't make you a raving lunatic.

He has to know that she is crazy.

Nope. She is cancer free and recovering at home.

I mean, she's still old, but yeah, everything seems to indicate that she's recovering.

Cancer aside, she hardly looks crisp:

Huh.  Never pegged you for a doctor.  Where'd you do your residency?

Yeah, I think she's crazy for not retiring.

True. She is old, but apparently her mind is still there, so who knows. 

Yeah, she missed the boat to retire during Obama's term. 

Some people need to have that drive to work. It keeps them going. I'd much rather be lazy and do what I want without having to answer for a paycheck when I reach a certain age lol! A bazillion other things to do at that age IMO, but whatever.

When was the last time anyone saw RBG?  We need proof of life at this point. 

It took this long for the Broward County Sheriff to get suspended. What in the fuck.

Not sure if serious.

Tulsi Gabbard throws her hat in for 2020.

I think she's a little too far left for me, but at least she's not in danger of stroking out halfway through term lol!

I don't know. The dem party is struggling to find itself again but I'm not sure listing this far starboard is where it will find its footing. Thoughts on this?

They’re all too far left. She doesn’t seem THAT bad though. Not worse than Bernie, Beto, Chief Warren, or Kamala. Biden or Hillary seem to be the least crazy regressive. If one of that first group does win, it will prove how far out there the left has become.

We all know that the dems bench was weak and had been.  We also knew that the far left has taken over

The republicans haven't exactly had a strong bench lately, either. Trump aside ... Mitt Romney? Ben Carlson?

I’m all in on Haley. I think in a few years Dan Crenshaw will be a popular name (war vet, lost eye).
