Republicans Desperate to Say “I Told You So”
Read Time:3 Minute, 44 Second
It does indeed pain me that all my friends running for the republican presidential nomination are speaking ill of each other. Sad that Reagan’s rule of never speaking ill of another Gopper has been forgotten.
On the other hand my good friend Donald Trump has broken Reagan’s rule more than the rest of them put together and he’s still leading the polls by a wide margin so…what the hell.
What my friend Donald is doing with his insults and attacks is more than just what he hopes is a winning campaign strategy. It’s a great strategy in case he loses as well. This gives him even more oomph when he says “I told you so.”
Not long after Obama took office billboards sprouted up all over with a picture of George W. Bush asking “do you miss me now?” Nobody did and not just because W was an idiot that idiots voted for because he was dumber than them and apparently it made them feel good enough to drink beer with him.
Poor Mitt Romney who was perhaps the most ready and capable person to run for president since the first George Bush had to reinvent himself into a lunatic that would appeal to the idiots that thought George W. was worth voting for that he sacrificed any hope of saying “I told you so” when he lost to Obama.
Trump and indeed the rest of the republican field is not taking that chance. The trick is not to give detailed policy stuff, but to attack opponents and anyone that speaks ill of you in any way. They all know in their hearts whomever gets the nomination will lose to Hillary Clinton. So to hedge their bets all the republicans except perhaps Ben Carson is just going to the other republicans. Carly Fiorina is attacking Trump for his insults and innuendos. She attacks Hillary for Hillary thinking Hillary will champion women even though Carly also has female naughty bits also. I figure Carly’s campaign will piece together something about Hillary and America being shlonged by Bill Clinton whilst Carly remained chaste.
Poor Jeb Bush is attacking everyone in his attempt to at least have some cred when telling us “I told you so.” He’s ripping on Trump and Rubio cause he thinks one of them will be the winner. If Cruz wins poor Jeb will fade into obscurity and George W. will continue as their Mom and Dad’s favorite.
Rubio tries hard to attack with dignity. He thinks he will win and he does indeed have a good chance as the fat cats in my party hate Cruz and Trump. Once Trump goes after him though it will be tough. Trump gets his attacks publicized free. The rest have to pay for theirs. Another Trump advantage.
The attack I look forward to is Chris Christie’s. Not that his will be any different from the others. I just look forward to the response when Trump calls him a lard ass who needs to go to a fat farm and shut up. Trump likes to call everything surrounding his attackers a “disaster.” No doubt he will call Christies’ diet plan a disaster. And the funny thing is it will make Trump go up in the polls. The libs will demand he apologise for making fun of fat people which will help Trump even more. Even my boss MadMike has made sport of fat people. Obesity doesn’t get much sympathy.
The other side likes to keep “I told you so” in reserve, as Secretary of State Hillary advocated a more hawkish stance than President Obama. She has used the old “I told you so” a few times when asked about ISIS and other Mideast stuff.
In the end the winner will do whatever he/she wants and their actions will be totally predictable. More troops and resources to the Mideast. The Fed relied on to make decisions on the economy so whoever is in power can say “I told you so.” Big money and corporations allowed to influence government and elections. Unions membership further eroded. More guns sold to whoever wants one. All the same stuff we claim to want government to fix but government won’t because we’ve elected so many assholes to run it that only serve those who finance their campaigns. And yeah. I’ll be there to say I told you so.

A good one Joe! Let’s see more. I heard Mike will pay for multiples 🙂
More guns. More guns. More god. More god. Sighhhh….
Right on Joe. I might have to change my long standing rule against paying contributors. Then again…NAHHHH…Great read man.
Years after I join and now I find out about the no paying contributors rule. You’d have made a good republican MadMike. Just wait til Fox News calls, I’m rich and you need a cosigner.
Ha! I’ll be waiting for that call with bated breath my friend 🙂
