All those morons have are stunts. When was the last time a Republicant actually had a solution to a problem?

I think America is ready for congressmen who are in favor of entire counties having government provided fire insurance.

Republicans have exactly three solutions for everything:
1. More guns.
2. Lower taxes for the rich.
3. Oppress women.

Republican stunts have been "driving the debate" for decades.

Remember those John Kerry purple heart bandaids?

The Swift boating of Kerry may have been the most disingenuous smear campaign in American history.

Not one of their accusations turned out to be true and the Navy after thoroughly investigating the senator concluded that he deserved every metal award and accommodation he ever got.

And you know what America got out of the Swift boating of John Kerry? The Great Recession combined with a pile of bodies and disabled veterans.

And if that doesn't upset conservatives here's a fun fact: if John Kerry had been elected president Barack Obama would still be a senator.

#8 John McCain's Tar Baby was worse. But it was only used in one state in the primary so it didn't make as much news.

The whisper campaign they did on mccane was terrible but it didn't involve Vietnam.

"it didn't involve Vietnam."

Only because John McCain spent Vietnam in a four foot cage.

Our media loves to cover Trump and the Trumpublicans every move.

2016 Trump received billions in free airtime by acting like a buffoon in front of anyone pointing a camera at him, and Americans ate it up.

The rest is history, Republicans are tripping over each other trying to see who can create a bigger spectacle and capture more media coverage.

Flying migrants around the nation isn't getting anyone's attention anymore?

What about televised lynchings?

Oh it's not like the Republican Party wasn't willing to go after McCain for his service in Vietnam it's just that they didn't.

They went after John Kerry's.
