Republicans…

Yeah I'm genuinely curious what would make someone say that and mean it in these past few decades.

 

[danikerhino]

Who says that?

Heard it a few times on PBS, Newsnation, some commenters referring to themselves as such on NewsMax TV.

Ahh, gotcha.

 

[danikerhino]

Ahh, gotcha.

It's most definitely them just propping themselves up or people mocking them for sharing that idea.

Republicans…

You meant "independents"

For all the reporting that journalists do in troublesome countries, you'd think they'd urge their editors to stop with the balancing act that is portraying Republican behavior as normal in a functioning democracy.

FFS, we shouldn't have to wait for them to round people up or crash the economy to call them out.

 

[IATT]

You meant "both sides" people

 

[big j 33]

Underdog, put that on a Tshirt

Killed it.

Yeah, they're foolishness was on full display and people will see it more and more. Let them fall on their sword, Conservatism is a form of Extremism and they need to start being referred to as such on a regular basis.

Barack's getting called the N-word in the first minute

Immediately load their muskets the moment they see Obama.

^then he’ll snatch one of their wigs off.

obvious question here is who comes out on top in tournament-style kombat.

I give Barry O a good run based on youth and athleticism alone, but FDR was an active boxer and Abraham Lincoln may have invented the chokeslam during his catch wrestling career (seriously).

I'd pay a couple bucks to watch 45 and William Howard Taft try to go at it tho...also be fun to see Bill Clinton fight dirty against Andrew Jackson.

I think the idea of a presidential battle royale merits a Celebrity Deathmatch reboot.

I’d bet it would get funded on Kickstarter in hours. Top supported get the clay models…

 

[mplsdunk]

I doubt bill Clinton can even bench press the bar at this point.

We could have them fight in their primes. This is exactly why we need time machines.
