"'What on earth were they thinking?' The answer to that question lies in the Trumpian brain rot that has infected the entire GOP. It’s a disease that convinces its victims that not only is cruelty the key to political success, but that the heart of the American voter is just as dark and ugly."

Rank-and-file Republicans always know who they hate and what they’re against. Republican leaders respond by encouraging hate while rigging the economy against their base. The GOP is competitive today because conservative Christians love to hate “worse” people.

I think the defining characteristic of 'conservative Christians' is telling themselves they are better than other people. Not moral teachings. Not even being a good person. Just, 'I'm in the "in" group'. It's pathetic, really.

I am so tired of DonOld Trump. I just want him gone. I am praying for the day when his name doesn't show up in my life everyday. Trump is a racist, xenophobic, misogynist, chauvinistic, narcissist, foul mouth scumbag. Felon & convicted sexual predator too!

IMO, its somewhat Trump unleashing the worst that already exists in certain people, but Vance and Ramaswamy are grandiose narcissists like Trump. This is who they are and were before meeting Trump.

Well Trump and Republicans getting elected kind of proves the point. The base does like the cruelty. Just recently one old guy and another guy beat up a woman at a campaign rally. While Trump cheered them on. The men didn't even get arrested for assault.

Vivek is a weaselly little prick with a big mouth who I wouldn't tolerate in my presence for two minutes, let alone vote for. Oh, and he got rich off pharmaceutical scamming. F that twerp.

It would be fascinating to know how many campaign staff, advisers and consultants were involved in that commercial, none of whom had to good sense to realize that it would backfire completely.

That is exactly the calculation that the GOP made. The hatred in the hearts of the average MAGA voter is not the same as those in the GOP at large. But Republican leaders have such fear of the haters and so little confidence in their constituents that they rolled over. Now it’s too late for the GOP.

Vivek wanted to do something outrageous to show Trump he was one of them. He did. Problem is, the rest of us saw it too. He's definitely one of them. Is there someone in his family who isn't proud of what we all saw? Yikes.

Meantime Microsoft announced 60,000 workers were offered buyouts today due to AI taking over jobs. The only purpose for AI and data centers is to take jobs away. Vote BLUE!

Explain this to your supporters. Oops that is right this is suppose to be a secret. Go read communist party USA website. Look in a no kings poster for sponsor “cpusa”. Do you know what it means. I do.

Everybody could have guessed that Lyin' Ramaswamy is very limited in figuring out our Great American Voters' limitations, lots of people say he's a very, very low intelligence individual, and it bigly shows. Thank you for your attention to this matter! BB

One does wonder if this were joe white guy running that ad would folks have baulked as much? Gotta feel like repubs wouldnt have. Exceptionally glad that they did punch this ass in the chops but just feel like that had it been a white guy they would have been like ehhh... Cause they're racists.

I think where Ramaswamy and Vance are failing at Trumpism is that they are spending way too much time rationalizing their odious statements and actions. Trump could do worse things but his manic brain would just move to something g else and the media would follow so no single thing gained traction

Trump appears to be "charismatic" to some (I don't understand it, but this is a commonly made observation). Ramaswamy and Vance are not in the least charismatic, except perhaps to other grandiose narcissists; this is why MAGA doesn't like them and they will not succeed as Trump's successors.
