They are already claiming she shouldn’t be eligible because she has no children of her own, only step children. No guy ever has been told he should be ineligible for office over not having children.
My entire adult life, it’s felt like Republicans are made in those Coca-Cola Freestyle machines where you can customize the flavor. The base flavor is always pro-big business, American imperialist, anti-women’s rights, anti-intellectual. But then there’s always an extra shot of flavor! Maybe it’s something common, like being especially anti-queer, or rare like McCain having just a little squirt of integrity.
But sometimes it’s weird! With Sarah Palin it was aerial wolf gunning! There was some other guy who was against laws forbidding dog fighting, because he said that because human boxing was allowed, outlawing dogfighting would elevate dogs above humans. And then you’ve got the likes of MTG where you just take ALL the flavors and mix them together.
So yeah, we can expect a steady stream of base flavor repellent Republican behavior, with notes of racism and sexism that will be familiar to anyone who was paying attention during the Obama administration or the Trump vs. Clinton campaign.
Stop making race comments: the most impossible challenge for the GOP.
Seriously. What about every other non-white person?
Naw. They can switch to sexism.
Watch them try to go for an intersection high score
Switch to?
They’re both, no doubt.
But right now they’re pushing the racism hard. I give it a week and it’ll be pushing the sexism hard.
They are already claiming she shouldn’t be eligible because she has no children of her own, only step children. No guy ever has been told he should be ineligible for office over not having children.
By that metric, Trump isn’t qualified because who wants a president that doesn’t have a dog?!?!
That’s patently ridiculous.
Also… wanna bet the originalists are going to shut up about “what the constitution says”?
