The Biggest Failure of the GOP Over the Last 30 Years is that They Promised it WOULD TRICKLE DOWN, and IT DIDN'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ETA:

[Vinca]

1. I heard that, too. He admitted "trickle down" didn't work and

Nicolle Wallace, sitting right beside him, was nodding her head in agreement. Up is down and down is up.

[Surya Gayatri]

4. How topsy-turvy can this election cycle get? How many more unspoken truths will come out

before it's over?

Never thought I'd say this, but:

THANK THE GODS FOR DONALD J. TRUMP!

[2naSalit]

33. An interesting observaton...

It has occurred to me a number of times that there is a possibility of the candidacy of the drumpf was meant to expose the corruption in our halls of governance. If that were the case in any way, I would say that the intent would be to completely expose the mechanisms of the corruption and in that case, mission almost accomplished - there is the convention yet to come that should prove informative in ways we probably can't imagine.

It really has been converted into a reality teevee show after all.

There is a faction who want to "kill" the government so I can imagine there will be a lot of interesting turns as we march on to election day and beyond.

[Surya Gayatri]

37. "Mission almost accomplished", indeed! LOL!

Who knew, when Drumpf slithered down that escalator and into the campaign last June, that we'd end up here.

Even the most inveterate "low-info", apolitical voters are tuning in to see the GOPers blowing themselves up. We can only hope that they're learning something about the true state of the nation at the same time.

[2naSalit]

44. I do hope some kind of

learning takes place but I'm not holding my breath... things aren't dire enough for enough people for change to be inevitable.

That escalator theme... He descended - makes me wonder if he felt he was "lowering himself" to the low level he perceives that the GP dwell by choosing to run..? Or maybe where he sees the state of the nation... or maybe where he wants to take us.

I have mixed feelings about it, I want to see those who want to trash democracy in this country get some comeuppance and am a little excited about the turn of events but the more serious part of me feels queasy recognizing that we are teetering on the edge of disaster in league with the fall of the Roman Empire. And all I can do is watch and wave (essentially all my vote is worth) as I watch tectonic plates slither by.

[Surya Gayatri]

46. Excellent analogy--earthquake, tectonic shift...

[pangaia]

39. Of course it worked.

We all got pissed on. That was the whole point.

[malaise]

2. And this neo-liberal bullshit should have been scrapped

in 2008

[Surya Gayatri]

8. Maybe it took 8 more years of GOPer insanity to reach critical mass...?

[malaise]

11. Yep - but they should have known it was over when

even Greenspan admitted that the model failed.

The Reagan Revolution is almost dead. All of the contradictions have led to the current implosion taking place in the ReTHUG party.

[Surya Gayatri]

18. It's taken 30 friggin' years, but Saint Ronnie is about to be dragged

down from his plinth.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!!!

[malaise]

20. I say bury what's left of the model with Nancy

One part went under with Scalia

[Surya Gayatri]

24. She'll be interred in short order. Scalia is already pushing up proverbial daisies...

NOT!

[Plucketeer]

55. The ONLY thing that'll grow over Scumlia's grave is

noxious weeds like Nettles and Sand Burrs and Poison Ivy - and NO defoliant will be able to dissuade them!

[Surya Gayatri]

58. A wasteland of hurt and pain...

[tavernier]

40. Fat chance. They will blame Bill.

ABC. Always Blame Clinton.

[truebluegreen]

42. To be fair, Bill helped.

But of course they will blame Bill and Obama, not themselves. It's what the Party of Personal Responsibility does.

[Surya Gayatri]

43. TRICKLE DOWN economics has been THEIR baby for the last 30 years,

so I don't see how they can escape the looming paternity suit.

[malthaussen]

59. Easy, they pay off the judge.

Who's Joe Scar, anyway? An MSNBC guy. I doubt any GOPper even watches him. When a respected Fox pundit says it, then I'll be impressed.

-- Mal

[Whiskeytide]

61. Did you say respected Fox pundit?

[Surya Gayatri]

62. As their nuclear holocaust wreaks further self-inflicted damage, at least a few more

GOPer "thinkers" will probably admit the sad reality, if only behind closed doors and in the halls of academia.

[SDJay]

64. Maybe In An Economic Sense It Is

but we still have nuts running around beating people over the heads with their bibles. The stains of hate, fear and misogyny from the Moral Majority - as if there's ever been a less accurate name for a group - remain and will for quite some time, unfortunately.

St. Ronnie really took a giant crap on this country and left a horrible stench behind.

[livetohike]

3. Reality is a hard thing for the GOP to accept. I think there

are many Republicans questioning their party's values right now.

[Surya Gayatri]

5. Jeezus, how could any GOPer of average intelligence NOT put their

party into question, considering the shameful spectacle the American public has witnessed recently?

[livetohike]

12. Surya- the key words are "average intelligence". Seems their

base is below this 😊

[Surya Gayatri]

14. No kidding...looking at those Nuremburg-like rallies.

[Dustlawyer]

31. Because they want to HATE!

They want to believe that it's the poor and minorities screwing them, not some elitist, corporate cabal.

[Surya Gayatri]

41. And, as RWers, they love "STRONG authority figures",

symbolized by the emblematic Drumpf.

[RoccoR5955]

6. There's only one thing that trickles down

and it's not money!

[CTyankee]

7. He made an interesting point about the peoplle who flock to Trump rallies...that they

are not part of the donor class repubs. they are largely the ones who lost ground economically in the recession but their racist beliefs had to make them hate Obama. Not a pretty picture...

Personally, I think Joe S. is disgusted with this campaign already. He was yelling at Nicolle louder than he yelled at Eugene when he talked about the "nazi salute" thing...I don't think Joe is feeling well today...

[Surya Gayatri]

9. LOL! I think his "indisposition" of yesterday was purely psychosomatic...

[CTyankee]

10. maybe hungover...thing are going badly for the GOP...Maybe he is hitting the bottle

more frequently just now...

[malaise]

13. OK I'm turning them on for the repeat hour

[CTyankee]

15. ugh. I turned then off at 7:30 EST. Usually I wait until 8.

I had had enough of Joe's yelling. I did enjoy Frank Bruni and his "fruitcake" analogy about Rubio..."he's the fruitcake you get at Christmas that you never eat".

[malaise]

21. And we all understand that - I gave away three last year

[CTyankee]

30. I guess I'm weird cuz I like fruitcake if it is really good...I put vanilla ice cream on a slice...

yum

[Beartracks]

32. You mean you can make it MORE fattening?

That sounds really good, actually.



=============

[CTyankee]

35. haven't had it in a long time, tho. I also like cinnmon raison toast with cherry

preserves and butter at breakfast. (now I need to get them...)...

Actually, as I get older I find my appetite is decreased...I have dropped over 20 lbs. recently and my clothes are baggy on me...

[Surya Gayatri]

16. Me too! LOL!

[monmouth4]

17. Me too. I swore I would not watch them but..well, this is too delicious to miss...LOL...n/t

[Surya Gayatri]

19. Totally scrumpcious! Finger-linkin' good! LOL!

[malaise]

22. I'm lovin' it

[spooky3]

49. maybe he's miffed that no one begged him to run.

[librechik]

23. sorry,, he looks drunk to me this morning.

And Mika is getting a little annoyed about his constant talking over and interrupting her.

[Surya Gayatri]

25. Let's be generous and just say "he looks a little under the weather..." LOL!

[librechik]

27. yeah, after I wrote that I realized

that Joe looks drunk and belligerent every day.

[dchill]

26. It was always supposed to trickle up.

Nothing went wrong, really.

[Surya Gayatri]

28. But, the peasants are "revolting", so they have to run from it pretty fast...

[CentralMass]

29. The Kool-aid dispenser must need a refill.

[annabanana]

34. And then he spent a segment defending torture . . . . n/t

[Surya Gayatri]

38. Wasn't that special? He'll probably do a retraction once he reads his tweets and e-mails.

[One of the 99]

51. Saw that too

How disgusting.

[PWPippin]

36. The only way to have "trickle down" is if pigs do fly overhead. Never happen.

[Red Oak]

45. Who the hell wants a "trickle" anyway.

If I work as hard as the CEO, I want my fair share, not some "trickle". That CEOs get huge salaries and the rest get "trickles" is pathetic.

[Wounded Bear]

47. It works just fine...

It is an economic system designed to redistribute wealth upward, after all. The CEO/Investor class get torrents, we get trickles.

[Surya Gayatri]

48. Shhhhh, don't say such things in front of the children (infantilized RW base).

[wryter2000]

50. He actually said that?

[Surya Gayatri]

52. YES, HE CERTAINLY DID! I was shaking my head...wondering if my imagination was going OTT.

[Iliyah]

53. Joe S is still a a-hole.

I've heard that all my life. Stock Market doing good, that means us folks down under are doing good. Bulls**t now because of our congress who doesn't a f**k about us (GOPs), especially the house repigs (who controls the purse).

[Surya Gayatri]

54. Absolutely loathe Joe Scar, but there's that broken clock phenom, ya know?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

56. Actually, the REAL lie was your boss WANTED to give you a raise but couldn't afford it.

[AxionExcel]

57. The true meaning of Republican "trickle down"

[mwooldri]

60. It didn't trickle... we got pissed on.

The 0.1% unzipped and urinated.... we felt it "trickle down" all right...

[marmar]

63. Uh oh. How long before he wakes up with a horse head in his bed?

[Marr]

65. The Dem establishment still pushes that scam as well. Anyone who talks about

'job creators' is buying it into.

[Stellar]

66. When pigs fly, LMAO!

[Surya Gayatri]

67. Great! It's already on YouTube...thanks for finding and posting!

[Stellar]

68. hear, hear....

Comcast should love Joe for this.
