This is what happens when Republicans try to seem like they are down home people instead of corporate shills. The cracks in the mask show

I don't understand why they didn't have Trump give it... like I'm not rooting for Trump and the GOP deserves to be in chaos, but Trump would have done an infinitly better job. Like "look at me, I'm your other choice. Here's what I'm claiming to bring to the table." Instead they gave us Senator Mrs. Whomever talking weird.

I'm starting to wonder if they're putting her in the limelight as setup for her being Trump's VP pick.

Simple, having Trump talk sensible would be impossible. So airing him directly after Biden would show how weak he is as a public speaker.

I don't think that matters to his constituents. They just want to see him on TV giving it to the libs.

A lot of Republicans questioning Trump just lost their nominee. Showing him look like a fool is not in their best interest.

Crazy eyes.

What, are they saying that creepy dead-eyed stare and the overall Gilead vibes are a bad look for them?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

No, they just don't like the stare.

I'd never heard of this person until my wife suddenly started seeing so many pictures of her on Facebook that she asked me who it was... After I said I had no idea she proceeded to Google it and then told me her name... Which I promptly forgot.
