Do not interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

I don’t typically rely on Yahoo News for this stuff, but it looks like Americans are not looking favorably on the republicans’ inability to pick a leader.

I guess it's an extension of whatever lifts the blinders from their eyes regarding government shutdowns? I just hope they remember this next year.

It's funny how a party that openly acts to destroy the US government can actually get blamed for making government dysfunctional. SMH

It absolutely blows my mind that anyone with even a passing knowledge of current events and two brain cells to rub together could blame anyone but Republicans for this. I guess you could argue that the Democrats "should" just help the Republican nominee that has a plurality for the good of the country. That's about it though.

They're sports people. They see everything as teams. You support your team even if they are at the underdog.
