Well, there is one Republican congressman who has just gained my respect.
Rep. Reid Ribble (R-Wis.) is taking aim at fellow Republican Donald Trump, saying the party’s presidential front-runner for doing “serious damage to the GOP brand.”
“You can’t be calling women bimbos, we can’t just be kicking sand in the sandbox saying, ‘You’re dumb’ and ‘You’re a loser,’ ” Ribble told USA Today on Friday. “We actually need a grown-up, not a three-year-old in the White House.”
The lawmaker said Trump has gotten under his skin, calling his immigration plan “10 or 15 pages of blather.”
“These are very serious times, and they require serious people at the helm,” Ribble said. “And they require people who haven’t declared bankruptcy four times but want you to believe they’re great business people.”
“It’s not politics what he’s doing, it’s a carnival,” he added. “It would be one thing if he was a serious policy person, but he’s not.”
I like this quote because it’s very succinct, directly to the point, and doesn’t have the slightest bit of bullshit attached to it. It’s not possible for me to improve on this statement. It’s the plain unadorned truth.
