Fox News Host Trump Apologist Goes Full Trumpbot in Tweet about Bush Son

No it isn't, but you said the GOP "clown show" will ensure Bernie is a winner. I guess that means I shouldn't waste my time voting on Tuesday for Marco Rubio.

Some stats say he may have a good chance. It is hard to tell at this stage in the game. Do you think he could actually be the nominee? We will know more by next week, I guess.

I'm voting for him because he has a chance to be the nominee. I don't cast votes I know are wasted.
 
Andrea Tantaros, whom I liked until she started attacking conservatives simply for the act of disagreeing with The Donald, had an interesting tweet last night, attacking Jeb Bush:

View attachment 67196367


Now, firstly, as a vet, let me say, this broad line of attack is snarky and idiotic. The notion that a political leader can't want to take on America's enemies unless they go or their adult children (whom they don't control) go isn't a debate over the efficacy of the conflict - it's an ad hominem. It's poo flinging. And it always has been. There are politicians who look down on the military, and they deserve to be called out on it, but the Bushes aren't in that group.

One of the ways we know that....

is that George P Bush served in Afghanistan as a Naval Intelligence Officer.

Well done, Andrea.



Has she volunteered herself?
 
Except, of course, your boy Donald Duck was a draft dodger who used his daddy's money to avoid service. You may think those people are admirable. I don't.

Did he break any laws?

No?

Then in my book he wasn't a draft dodger.

He was never drafted, there was nothing to dodge.

Accepting deferments isn't a crime and, in my opinion, is no different than never serving at all (for whatever reason).

Do I "admire" the many hundred of millions of Americans who choose not to serve by simple virtue of the fact that they've chosen not to serve?

No, not at all.

But I don't whine about them like I'm some bitter little girl either.

If you don't want to serve, then I don't want to serve with you.

Simple as that.

But if you're in every respect qualified as a doctor, lawyer, investment adviser, mechanic, electrician, or short order cook I have no objection to doing business with you in that capacity.

There were a lot of us who didn't want to serve in Vietnam but who didn't really have much of a choice. Of course my daddy wasn't a multi-millionaire, either. Go ahead and love you some Trump. I gag every time I see him talking about the military and service to his country. When it was his turn, he took the easy way out. As he said, he 'didn't agree with that war', so he didn't serve. Screw him.

I believe Trump pointed out that he could always feel like he had served, as he went to a prep school, where they had to wear uniforms, and it was tougher than the military. So you may owe him an apology.

Getting back with you on Rubio, it seems he has gained momentum. Hopefully, Trump will fade into the sunset and quit on his own, or get his ass handed to him, so that serious candidates get the attention they deserve. I agree with you on that Rubio and Kasich are the most sincere. The Trump vs Cruz spectacle, however, is very hard to watch.

After last nights debate....it looks like a vote for Rubio WOULD be wasted. After watching last night, I kinda hope that he IS the nominee. He was so not ready on the stage last night, I think Hilary or Bernie would destroy him. I'm going to have to rethink my preferences now.

And let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that the Marcobot isn't a lightweight memorizing a script. And let's dispel once and for all...
