"SNIP........

RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel told Fox News that the U.S. potentially defaulting on its debt “bodes very well for the Republican field.”

.........SNIP"

Applegrove:

And people on SS or Medicare are going to have to go into what little savings they have to survive. Less small dollar donations for Democrats in 2024. Less power in the hands of the poor or retired. The GOP is at war with average Americans.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

1. Fucking pukes. Can't win elections without cheating.

Can’t effect policy without taking hostages.

[Rebl2]

21. Yep!

[emulatorloo]

2. Hurt Americans, Help Republicans. Ronna has her priorities.

[SWBTATTReg]

3. And how does she figure this out? Idiot. Lots of Americans buy those bonds, our debt ratings

are among the best in the world, so our interest rates in borrowing are low. If defaulting, then this low rate goes to hell and government cost can go spiraling out of control.

[OAITW r.2.0]

8. She's not saying it won't hurt the average Republican voter any differently than all Americans...

just that they think imploding the economy will help the party in the next election cycle. I'm not so sure....

[Lovie777]

4. She's one of the worst GQP leaders....................

STFU, plus obviously like the rest of the effed up cult, they don't care.

[LoisB]

5. It is always Party before Country with these people. In the case of default, Party before World.

[OhNo-Really]

6. Remember Looney Toones cartoons?

[Freethinker65]

7. Ronna also predicted a Red wave in the last election.

Most donors to the RNC do not want a default (tho they probably encourage Republicans to fight for the wealthy and corporations by insisting on continuous deregulation, especially in tax laws, and environmental, labor, and tort reforms), who she listening to?

[mobeau69]

9. What a foolish thing to say and think.

[Rebl2]

22. She is telling on

herself and rest of republicans. They are doing this to hurt democrats and the President as well as those constituents-R’s and D’s.

[Johonny]

10. wait until she finds out wealthy people have money

Too. A US default has implications that almost certainly are going to hurt passive income.

[NBachers]

11. "Joe Biden presided over the worst financial disaster in American history! It's time for change"

[Baitball Blogger]

12. What did you expect from crazy, selfish people

[Wounded Bear]

13. Isn't that what they said the last time?

And then lost the next election cycle?

[mobeau69]

23. That wasn't even a default. A default would be like Black Monday 1929.

[uponit7771]

14. Republicans want to hurt Americans for political gain

[2naSalit]

15. Only the fascist ones.

[C_U_L8R]

16. Ask Newt how that worked out for Republicans in the 90s

Everyone knows who to blame for the GOP default.

[dchill]

17. Ronna's been insane for a long time. It's only getting worse.

[hadEnuf]

18. I'm not so sure about that Ronna.

It didn't help the Rescumlicans much when Newt Gingrich shut down government in the 1990's.

[AllyCat]

19. Who gives a phuck about the country when

There’s pockets to be lined?

[moondust]

20. Destroy everything and blame the king.

There are probably some autocrat-loving idiots who are convinced that whoever resides in the White House has a magic wand that can make anything happen or not happen. Also plenty of pigs that don't care and may even encourage whatever bullshit is needed to get more tax cuts, deregulation, and white privilege.

[Martin68]

24. "RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel " is a moron. Perfect person for the job.

[617Blue]

25. They're just traitorous scum. I really need a break from this.

Jesus I miss Bob Dole.

[JHB]

27. "Any comments, Senator Romney?"

[UTUSN]

28. Like the religions that want the world to end so Jesus will come

[Aussie105]

29. Are Republicans actually Anarchists?

The Anarchist Doctrine:

Destroy the current system and something new and better will spontaneously grow from the ashes.

Inferring of course, that in the spontaneous rebirth, there is something to be gained by the Anarchists.
In this case, for the Republicans.

Reality tells us that destroying a system that was built up over many years by the efforts of many people doesn't just spontaneously regenerate.
And there is nothing of benefit for anyone in the process.

No Phoenix like rebirth from the ashes awaits a default.

But Republican Anarchists and Reality . . . tenuous connection at best.
