GOP First, USA Second
There is no way Charlie Copeland listened to the jibberish gushing out of Trump’s mouth last night and concluded that Trump should be President. By all accounts, Copeland is reasonably intelligent, so there is simply no way he came to that conclusion. But his statement makes it clear that Charlie Copeland is ready and willing to lie in order to be a good party man. His first loyalty is to the GOP. And that is a shame, because as a citizen, his first and highest loyalty should be to the country.
GOP Reaction to First Presidential Debate
Wilmington, DE – The Chairman of the Delaware Republican Party this evening issued the following statement from the Party’s watch party in Wilmington:
“Donald Trump won tonight’s debate hands-down, and put to rest and doubt that he is prepared to be Commander-and-Chief. He articulated bold new ideas that will help all families improve their lives, while restoring America’s greatness across the globe.
“There is a reason that Hillary Clinton’s negatives are so high. It comes down to her character. People don’t trust Hillary Clinton, and that is an issue that can not be changed.
“While Hillary Clinton and the Democrats rush to play identity politics they are ignoring the important issues facing America. Our cities, including Wilmington, face generational poverty, a failing public education system, and historically high crime. The Democrats have had their chance to solves these problems, and they have failed.”
“It’s time to bring Republicans values to the White House, and make America great again.”
“He articulated bold new ideas that will help all families improve their lives, while restoring America’s greatness across the globe.”
Ok Charlie. Such as?
One candidate looked an extremely competent executive manager with an occasionally off-putting personality. The other candidate was a below average huckster.
If one can’t differentiate which is which, there’s nothing I can write to help.
Also, nothing new here, but I’d forget about “fact checking” and shaming DJT on his empty schoolyard insults and all the other little exercises the internet does all day. He could release his tax returns today which prove he actually stole money from the Treasury. It’d make no difference.
Trump supporters just want the most outrageous protest vote they can get… and that’s him. Making an adult argument (or any argument at this point) is an utter waste of time.
I get that from Trump supporters. They are angry, racist nit wits. But Copeland is an allegedly thinking human being. He imagines his job now is to be on the side of the fraudster, but wouldn’t someone with integrity see that a more important job now is being on the side of the Republic?
When Copeland listens to Trump all he hears is “Blah blah burble Tax Cuts blub blah yadda yadda.”
Political move. His party people want support of the candidate and he’s giving it to them. Whether he believes it or not is irrelevant.
“Our cities, including Wilmington, face generational poverty, a failing public education system”
Charlie and his ilk have been at the forefront of creating that poverty. The schools are reeling under the weight of poverty, and the charter/voucher pushers are hollowing out what’s left of public education.
“People who watched the debate thought Hillary won, Drudge Report readers didn’t.”
Cool.

Oh, wrong thread. Whatever. It still works.
Copeland and Fluharty have lost all credibility with that statement…what jokes.
“Charlie and his ilk have been at the forefront of creating that poverty.”
This is especially true of education. I’m sure much of his wealth comes from DuPont stock holdings, and DuPont is the entity that underwrote the lawsuit that ushered in busing — and also ended the Wilmington School District, which the DuPont Co. realized was highly dependent upon the corporation’s taxes.
Most people look at education and see students. The DuPont Co. saw a tax liability. The WSD disappeared and the tax burden was spread to the suburbs, a far wider base than the city could provide. Public education in the state has never been the same.
anonymous you made me remember the judge who wrote that busing order (Murray Schwartz) was the same judge who handled the 1970 bankruptcy of Charlie’s dad that resulted in minimal impact to the family fortune.
