    One day she’ll realize that after her husband was killed, the candidate she supports cared more about his shoes than about him.

      Sadly, she won’t realize shit. These people don’t have revelations about who they support politically. They bury their heads in the sand eternally. I still know people who are die hard George W Bush supporters and think he was the best president we’ve ever had.

        Honest question: do those folks say that because of how that campaign and presidency made them feel at the time, or is it honestly based in policy, politics, or something else tangible? Thank you.

          Honestly, it’s a mixed bag of all three. For some, the nostalgia of that time is very strong and for others they feel like GWB embodied the best of the Republican party(which says so much about the Republican party). And some are just bullshit contrarians who want to shut the people up who tout Obama and Biden’s accomplishments.

      I’m glad I’m not the only one repeating this.

      He was more concerned about his shoes than:

      Following simple directions Getting off stage Acknowledging his staff was in danger Getting the fuck away from danger Asking about anyone else being injured Leaving the scene

      You know…NORMAL FUCKING SHIT

      But no, he needed to stand on stage AND at his get away vehicle to throw his fist up like he personally took down the gunmen.

      I cringed watching the SS try to get him to safety and he refused. I was just hoping no one else was going to get shot while he tried to be some kind of “hero”.

      Doubtful.

      Why am I getting downvoted?

      People think this lady is smart enough to engage in critical thinking later, despite what we’ve seen from her?
