Few even mentioned his name, and the new federal indictment he faces was completely ignored, as Republican candidates for president tried in Iowa Sunday to present themselves as Donald Trump alternatives.

        I think it’s important to remember that not all conservatives are dumb idiots who got super into following a charlatan. A lot of them are, don’t get me wrong.

        But a lot of them are selfish, religious bigots who want to violently control others. They’re not valid or dumb, they’re cruel.

        Don’t let them get away with anything by cultivating the idea they’re just sheep. There are wolves among them too.

    Never let Republicans forget they were duped by a new York millionaire half-wit mafioso underling.

      This is always the thing that really gets me. How do these guys identify in any way with a rich, yuppie, NYC real estate sleaze ball? He feels like exactly the kind of guy these people hate, but here we are. A guy who never had to work a day in his life, has had multiple infidelities, I don’t even think the dude went to church?

      Just had to play the right dog whistle and he tapped into something.
