    i mean look bro i’ll welcome whoever admits the faults of the republican party, we’ve got a low bar set here. We gotta take what we can get you feel me?

    actually, on second thought, don’t touch me.

      Ok how about this :

      They can join, but I’d better not hear the D leaders basically saying to Romney and McConnell ilk : “Sit up here, friend! 😘Now you can join us and take the wheel to help us steer our country somewhere better!”

      If they don’t want to fuck this up, they’d better say to any of these likely turncoats : “sit down and row ya bilge rat. If I think yer not tryin’ yer damndest or look to not be doing yer part I’ll lock ye cockle shells in irons and toss yer ass as a meat anchor to the bloodthirsty sharks in the depths below.”

        they don’t exactly have much of an option here. They either support the trump campaign and do a little bit of silly, or they support the dems which won’t do much if any silly.

        Regardless, any republican willing to fence sit this hard on this election cycle is likely going to be a decent person anyway. They probably won’t have a ton of support for the dems, but it’s a good sign that we have support from republicans so i’ll take what i can get.

        I also think it’s extremely unlikely that any of them actually get any significant say outside of the standard voting procedure. They’re unlikely to line up perfectly, but again, any support is support.

        Although i would kill for a pirate impression in the government, not gonna lie.
