I agree with Kevin, except the loudest complaints have come from
professional GOP politicians, who know the key swing voter demo is white
suburban women. These women are susceptible to the low tax (even if that is
bs) anti immigration part of the Republican message, but are turned off by
the hyper moralism, and especially triggered by the overturning of Roe.
Somehow they have to find a non-Trump voice to send the message that
Republicans respect and understand that women can be good mothers and
hardworking professionals who can be trusted to make their own decisions
about their bodies, and one of their best candidates for being that
messenger spent this high profile platform sending message women should be
in the kitchen, and can discuss important issues in a reasonable,
professional manner.

Which is to say, one of their problems is not just that Trump is their
candidate, but that he has taken over complete control of the party.

Everybody seems to have had a lot to say about Britt. What is worth
reminding everybody is that her response was geared towards the 33% of the
nation that still supports Trump (and will always do so). It wasn’t to
change minds; it was to try to remind the Trump cult that they are still
there, still wallowing in the swamp. If you had liked (or even been able to
tolerate) her inane banter, it would be a failure. It pandered to those
blinded and stupefied by hatred and ignorance. The cult loves that the left
is making fun of this video.

[TV orNotTV] Sen. Katie Britt's State of the Union response: Discuss

2024-03-09 Thread Steve Timko 
I wanted to comment on Sen. Katie Britt’s response to the president’s State
of the Union address.

I streamed her rebuttal with the sound on low. So I didn’t really hear it
live. But I glanced at it from time to time. My first reaction was,
“Putting her in a kitchen makes her look like a housewife, not a senator.”

What really stopped me was her creepy smile. She is a successful politician
but she can’t produce a decent smile? Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has the
same problem.

Afterward, I heard the recap of what she said. And how she said it. The
Republicans have known for four years they would be giving the response to
the State of the Union and this is what they offer? Especially after
previous flubs by Bobby Jindal and Marco Rubio.

It’s like someone gave her the assignment to connect with the public and
she proved herself incapable of doing that. It’s not that hard. Just speak
with genuine emotion. Not the manufactured emotion she stumbled through.

We all know the cold open for tonight’s “Saturday Night Live.”

There’s a lot of good rebuttals to Britt’s rebuttal, but I like this best:

https://www.tiktok.com/@joyreidofficial/video/730653272698154

At the risk of being a complete chauvinist, Megyn Kelly is looking totally
hot. I suspect there’s some digital manipulation of her image.
