Hillwilliam -> Political prediction part 1 (10/27/2016 2:13:28 PM)
If Hillary wins, Reince Priebus needs to start looking for a job. He's like the football coach that can't win "The big one". Got a good team. Got great boosters. Got a good venue. Wins the House, the Senate, most gubernatorial elections and most of the state houses. Loses to an "Inferior team" time and time again in the big one. Discuss and try to stay on topic or I will take advantage of the lack of mods.

To be fair, I don't see him in charge for 2020, regardless. He'll be out if Hillary wins, and he'll be out after the disaster he allowed to run under the GOP mantle, if Trump wins.

He probably will be out. But Trump getting the nomination was not his fault as far as I can tell. What I saw was that none of the smart republicans wanted to run. I mean the ones who weren't worried about Guam capsizing. T^T

He's the Chairman of the RNC, isn't he? He could have required potential candidates exhibit and support traditional Republican party planks before even being allowed to campaign towards the nomination.

If being responsible for whichever drooling incompetent fuckwit the Republicans nominate isn't part of Priebus' job description, what the fuck is he even there for?

There is going to be a blood bath after Nov 8 at the top of the GOP. The full extent of the bloodletting will only be known once we see whether Trump's inevitable defeat was merely a drubbing or a landslide of disastrous proportions that delivers the Senate and possibly the House too, to the Dems. Far more interesting than Priebus's own fate is who is going to replace him and which faction of the GOP will emerge dominant and have the unenviable task of reviving the GOP. It's not going to be the Tea Party zealots, or any of those whose fate is closely tied to Trump's (eg Guiliani, Gingrich etc). It's unlikely to the GOP's right wing. If it is going to survive the GOP will have to pivot towards the centre of politics or face an indeterminate period frozen out of the White House and real power. Will the GOP abandon its failed policy of blanket uncompromising opposition to any thing the White House proposes and actually co-operate so that Congress can work successfully for a change? Any one out there brave enough to predict where the new GOP leadership will be found?

Your otherwise reasonable assumptions there are based on two possibly false premises: one that Americans won't elect the tiny-handed shitweasel, and two: in the event of the orange combover losing, that any elements of the GOP will have the testicular fortitude to admit that they've spent the last decade and a half busily wrecking their party, and that steps need to be taken to reverse the slide. The first I'd hope to be wrong on, but saying that Americans won't elect an incompetent cretin after they put Reagan and Bush II in power twice each seems overly optimistic to me. As for the second, if trying to stop the Republican party imploding will involve admitting that the extent to which the party has been aimed at the lowest common denominator was misguided, and retreating from the scaremongering, personal politics and bile slinging that replaces any discussion of issues in the current GOP, I honestly can't see anybody in there who'd even dare to suggest that it's a problem, never mind stick their neck out by trying to do something to solve it. If cockwomble's candidacy has proven nothing else, it's been a year long demonstration of how terrified the Republicans are of any perceived threat to them courting the fuckwit vote.

Reince Priebus reads up on him - ooo 3 terms at the helm of the fuking titanic On October 4, 2016, Priebus called Trump a role model. "You know, I think everyone's a role model in different ways. When you look at someone who has built businesses, lost businesses, came back, lived the American dream, a person who sets goals, he's a winner. Well, he backs/enables a ~~half~~ quarter wit, bankrupt, monster predator, with the small gropey hands. I dislike him. As opposed to I admire anyone in The Asylum of Maniacs (GOP) who completely detached themselves from frightyhairman What kind of person stands next to a creature and vouches for its lack of sanity? Overlooking 40-45% of the eligible electorate. I find UK politics distasteful but fek what a mess is the land of the locked up

Scotland...I do not really know enough about other countries save UK & USA most powerful nation on earth by a mile. When you have no choice you effectively have nothing at all. America has them and us Scotland it took a while for my people to reject both.

They have always been here you know (SNP)...do you know the first time I actually voted, i was 18, and it was in the UK election & i voted labour....my mind, errant as it may be, and very handsome in an infinity sort of way.....I voted labour just to reinforce the wave of time against mad bint binty hitler wreck of thatcher who died all alone in an hotel room The fuking maniac got in by a landside - never in my lands, not ever...and this mayhem "governs" my lands - still does you know..... As we have a form of proportional representation, bar my tatical first vote, I only ever vote SNP and if i chose a secondary choice, well, got to be the greens eh! have you seen the classified papers released re mad bint? and she should still answers for its crimes gainst humanity and the police and miner strike and mad waffle

WhoreMods -> RE: Political prediction part 1 (10/28/2016 11:02:01 AM)
A vote for the SNP is a vote for the Tories to stay in power in Westminster. Difficult concept for Scots to grasp, I know, but there it is.

Straying from their ideology to attempt to elect a popular candidate (he did garner the most votes) who didn't espouse their party planks is what's hurting the GOP now.
