This past weekend Trump managed to offend both Latinos and many Olympic watchers in just a couple of tweets. Just last November both he and the party bragged about making so much headway with minority voters.
Those Trump flags on the pickup trucks are getting tattered. While he is worried that a blue wave might result in an impeachment vote, he's not worried beyond his family's bottom line. Beyond the midterms, current young voters will see how little the 47th actually did for them, and how much for his family. The Republicans richly deserve the future that they are currently standing silent about. Nobody will ever accuse Trump of being a great uniter.
I did not watch the Super Bowl.
ReplyDeleteCan we just declare Puerto Rico independent and end the charade ?
anon@4:31: The subject of Puerto Rico... statehood vs. independence vs status quo is beyond my paygrade and certainly yours. I'm sorry that your Commander and Chief wouldn't let you say that you watched it, but I suspect you really did :)
ReplyDeleteTrump's mis-speak on the game, and the Republican mis-step again following his orders, will be bigly costly come November.
Thanks for bringing up the Super Bore.
ReplyDeleteDidn’t watch most of it. Tuned in early to catch the flyover, then tuned into a Raymond rerun and America’s Funniest Videos.
Caught the very end of the first half, then watched both halftime shows simultaneously (one on TV, the other on my phone). Neither were particularly to my liking, although with one I could at least understand what was being said and it had less crotch-grabbing and twerking than the other (so probably more family friendly there). Overall, I’d prefer that the Super Bowl would just be a football game and not a concert, but when the product (the game) is that bad maybe that’s why a concert is included.
The second half was more (or less, game-wise) of the same for me. Switched out to other channels, caught up on some reading, and occasionally checked the score. I obviously wasn’t missing anything exciting. Probably would have watched paint dry instead of the game, but that would have meant that I’d have to have done some painting.
I suppose if Seahawks fans loved it, Patriots fans at least watched it, and most of the rest of us were bored with it and tuned-out, if we even tuned-in in the first place. Not sure what the President said about it, but I think to most of the country (except for irrational anti-Trumpers), it really doesn’t matter what he said about the game. It is America, and we’re all still allowed to have our opinions, even the President.
I’d like to think that people don’t base their election decisions on what someone says about the Super Bowl, but with the anti-Trumpers needing to clutch their pearls about everything nowadays, maybe that’s where we’re at.
anon@3:30: Glad you took a day off from painting. But you're very wrong about the President allowed to have an opinion. This was one that he should have kept to himself, especially for Republicans in this district....but more about that tomorrow.
