But they are okay with him being a vile extremist troll?

Probably because she isnā€™t part of the clique. Trump gets enough support to let him do whatever, but they donā€™t want another wildcard.

Recent photos captured Loomer standing next to Trump on multiple occasions, a level of access that puts her even closer to Trumpā€™s ear than new campaign chairman Corey Lewandowski.

Yup, she is getting in the way of the partyā€™s attempts to influence Trump.

It sure would be a shame if people started talking about the rumor that Laura Loomer is pregnant with Trumpā€™s love child. I donā€™t know if thereā€™s any truth to the rumor at all. Itā€™s just a rumor I heard people are talking about.

Are we even sure sheā€™s a female human and not an LLM trained on Twitter posts stuffed into a melted Japanese sex robot?

ā€œIf we nominate Trump, we will get destroyedā€¦and we will deserve it,ā€ Graham tweeted in 2016.

This has got to be the slowest desruction of a party. Anyway to speed it up?

Seeing Graham specifically be called out by Loomer was fucking delicious.

Iā€™ve been waiting for the leopards to eat his face since he said that and turned around to be Trumpā€™s toady.

My co-workers laughed when I told them that he got called out by Loomer. This fucking clown show, would be way more entertaining if it didnā€™t have a chance to end up running the country.

They almost most certainly will. ā€œIā€™m a never Trump guy. I never liked him.ā€

Iā€™ve seen this one. This is the one where a bunch of Republicans are like ā€œIā€™m a never Trumperā€ and then a month later theyā€™re all on the floor kissing his feet.

If I was Alred, I would run an ad with Trump making fun of Cruzā€™s wife, then Cruz sucking up to Trump, both with dates. Then ask ā€œDo you really think Ted Cruz will stand up for Texans? He wonā€™t even stand up for his own wife.ā€

It should be a standard line of attack for Dems.
