The not shaking Pelosi's hand might have turned off some persuadable voters if Pelosi had been able to execute the "he has no respect for the institutions and norms of our democracy but I do" high ground. It's not easy to avoid being dragged into the mud by this guy, no doubt, but my gut is that it's the best way to win in 2020. -
No, it doesn’t get a pass. It’s emblematic of the boorish, childish, cartoonish behavior of that ass clown. But she took the bait and did something stupid and as I said, will be seen again on a campaign ad this fall. But you cling to #Resistance I guess.Originally posted by DMT View Post

Lol, after everything he's done, you honestly think there are people who would bail on him for not shaking Pelosi's hand? That is truly absurd IMO.Originally posted by B-Fly View PostIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing.

In seeing one replay of that moment, I actually don't think Trump saw her extend her hand. However, he should have been the one to extend his hand in appreciation of the invitation.Originally posted by DMT View Post"Looks like I picked a bad day to give up sniffing glue.

i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

Not a fan of Pelosi or Trump and though it shouldn't be, pettiness has replaced decorum as SOP in our nation's political scene.
It's all about energizing the rabid base--On both sides.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

I think there are people who have already bailed on him for his disrespectful and childish behaviors but who might find their way back to him if they're sufficiently convinced that the Democrats are proving themselves no better.Originally posted by DMT View PostComment

Wouldn't you find it hypocritical if he did shake her hand? Heck isn't it a bit hypocritical for her to offer it?

Romney!
It doesn't change the end result of acquittal, but that was never a possibility, so that one Republican vote to convict is huge from the standpoint of history and how this all might be received through Election Day.Comment

The Republican backlash against Romney has been fierce. I think Romney's vote to convict was his way of going out with a clear conscience.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

This is the same Romney who was giving Trump a tongue bath when he thought he was going to be Sec of State, right?Originally posted by madducks View Post

Romney is as old as Trump, so running in four years would make him Biden aged.
