Who Is Your New Secret Republican Crush?!

[jaxind]

Mine is Steve Schmidt! I just love how he goes after Trump, and I find myself crushing on him!

[Zoonart]

1. Richard Painter...

gotta say.

[fleur-de-lisa]

20. Me too!

I really like his crusty mid-western accent. I know he lives in Minnesota, but he sounds like a Texan to me. Giddy up, cowboy!

[lagomorph777]

53. His messages are spot on, but I especially love his lopsided look

and gangsta voice.

Not a sexual attraction, but he entertains me greatly.

[chimpymustgo]

62. Love him! Crusty, one-side-of-the-face-moving, smart, handsome Painter! Also David Jolley!

Used to be such an asshole during Clinton years.

[spiderpig]

44. Did you know he's been a Republican for 30 years?

That always cracks me up.

[Zoonart]

45. Spiderpig...Spiderpig...LALA

You make me sing.

[spiderpig]

47. Aww...even pugs can occasionally see the light.

I absolutely love his deadpan delivery.

Is he single???

[shraby]

2. Just don't forget, under that trump bashing noise is a republican mouthpiece from way back.

[pnwmom]

6. We know, we know, we know. But we STILL NEED AS MANY REPUBLICANS AS POSSIBLE

on our side till DT is gone, and the voices of the Never-Trumpers are vital.

[FSogol]

3. What's you favorite type of posion ivy?

[Atticus]

56. Amen. nt

[Aristus]

4. I'm deeply embarrassed to admit a horrible, heart-thumping crush

on S.E Cupp...

[underpants]

8. The hot librarian look works

[Aristus]

12. It works for Tina Fey, too. And her politics are much closer to my own.

But sometimes, I just crush madly on S.E. Cupp...

[underpants]

13. Well

I'm going to post this here and see if avoids the expected bombardment

Marsha Blackburn and
Katherine Harris

Pray for me

[Aristus]

14. I'm guessing post-plastic surgery Katherine Harris.

I think she had consulted a makeup artist by then, too.



Her stirrups are set too low. One should sit the saddle with toes up and heels down. Even an amateur like me knows that.

[underpants]

30. Yes

Her riding style is just terrible

[LeftInTX]

33. Marsha Blackburn does not look 65. She obviously takes good care of herself

I know all about her make-up consulting business.

[IluvPitties]

28. She's beautiful! Too bad her politics suck.

[Yonnie3]

5. Now it's not your secret anymore.

I sincerely hope you get over this crush and that there are no long term effects.

[jaxind]

7. You're right...

You're right...none of them should be revered because of their past, but I think right now, we need to keep whoever we can get to help us!

[bellmartin]

9. Ana Navarro

[IluvPitties]

29. Ana is my girl! I've always liked her.

[Mrs. Overall]

10. Abraham Lincoln.

He was the last good one.

[workinclasszero]

21. Eisenhower was pretty great too

It's been all downhill since him of course.

[radical noodle]

35. Yep

I remember wearing my "I Like Ike" button when I was a little girl. I was in 7th grade when Kennedy was elected.

[workinclasszero]

37. Back when republicans were still Americans first and party second

Unlike the Koch paid, Russian directed pack of traitors the present republicans are.

We are about the same age. Its a whole different world now isn't it?

[radical noodle]

40. It is

While there were a lot of bad things going on at the time, Ike had some common sense and believed in country first. He would not be a Republican now. (He wasn't particularly fond of Nixon either, which was a plus!)

[workinclasszero]

46. It was a terrible time for PoC

I shouldn't forget that ever.

And Vietnam...yeah.

I wish we had a movement as strong as the anti-war movement in the sixties to throw out the fascists and make this country a good place for the working class not just the 1%.

Young people have got to be heartsick over the state of this country you would think.

[Mrs. Overall]

38. Good point. My grandparents had a picture of Ike in their den.

[workinclasszero]

39. Ike

would be known as a hardcore leftist to the Randian scum that inhabit the republican party of today.

[reflection]

11. If I could crush any of them in secret

I guess it would be Mitch McConnell. But I'll need full assurance I will get away scot-free, as well as the location of the trash compactor I will be using. Please advise.

[treestar]

34. ...

[mvd]

15. I definitely get crushes, but pretty much have a no Repuke rule

A couple of the celebs I like may be Repukes, but they are quiet about it if so.

SE Cupp is cute I guess, as is Lisa Kennedy Montgomery. But I find being conservative to be a big personality flaw. And personality factors into crushes.

[pnwmom]

16. There are several. When they appear on TV, my heart rate goes down. I can relax.

David Jolly, Richard Painter, Ana Navarro, Richard Frum, Jennifer Rubin, Bill Kristol, Rick Wilson and yes, Steve Schmidt.

There are a couple more I can't remember . . .

That being said, I can't wait till I can hate them all again -- but right now they're the sane voices coming from the right.

[Alwaysna]

17. He's not a representative or senator but

My favorite Republican crush is Robert Mueller.

[PatSeg]

25. Oh yes, of course

Why didn't I think of him? I guess I don't think of him in political terms, which is the way it should be.

[The Polack MSgt]

18. Uhhhhmm. I like Ike I guess? The rest make me want to scrape the soles of my shoes. nt

[redstateblues]

19. Nicole Wallace

[mvd]

52. Yeah, for a Republican she's about as good as it gets

[lunasun]

22. Um all of them Katie

No secret
I'd like to crush them all 2018-2020

[StevieM]

23. It sickens me when Democrats lionize James Comey. He is an opponent of democracy.

I can tolerate when Dems crush on Nicole Wallace, Steve Schmidt, David Frum, and even Bill Kristol.

But Comey is a different story. He is no more a man of honor than Ken Starr was.

[samnsara]

26. Mueller

[awesomerwb1]

27. Sarah Huckabee for me

Mmm mmm mmmmmm.

[redwitch]

31. Lol!

It’s the villainess eyebrow isn’t it?

[radical noodle]

32. He's mine too

I don't agree with his conservative ideology but seems to have ethics and morals when it comes to trump. He takes down trump with such fine patriotic outrage.

[Leith]

36. There Hasn't Been a rethug Worth Spit Since Eisenhower

Him, along with Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln, are the only ones I would push out of the path of a speeding bus.

We may like what one of them says for a little while, but they'll go back to their old ways if and when things return to normal. Remember: they are anti-chumpy, NOT anti-rethug.

[onecaliberal]

41. Robert Mueller

[kwassa]

42. Jennifer Rubin ....

for her relentless and eloquent attacks on Trump, and those who enable him.

[Blue_true]

43. None. All people that still call themself a republican is garbage, IMO. nt

[handmade34]

48. if my partner

were a Republican... he would be gone!!! at this time, anyone who professes to be a Republican has no place in my life

the last Republican I had even an iota of respect for was Chuck Hagel and that was probably only because I didn't know everything about him

[LonePirate]

49. Is this anything like sheep having secret crushes on wolves?

Sure, the wolves may seem friendly today; but at some point, they will turn on the sheep.

[enid602]

50. Louie and Trey

It's a toss up between Louie Gomert and Trey Gowdy. Do I have to chose? Sorry Brannon.

[Ferrets are Cool]

51. Just the title of this post makes me want to

[Tipperary]

58. I agree with you. eom

[Atticus]

59. Yup! "Clean up on aisle five!". nt

[SummerSnow]

54. Steve Schmidt !!! YaY!!!

[Rhiannon12866]

55. I agree about Steve Schmidt, though I wouldn't call it a "crush," LOL

I happened to turn on Nicolle's Wallace's show on MSNBC one afternoon and heard Steve Schmidt make one of the best anti Trump rants that we've heard from anyone. He's been excellent on Bill Maher's show, too - and he seems to be friends with Rachel Maddow.

[Hekate]

57. No secret at all; I just call them fellow patriots and praise them publicly

[LeftInTX]

60. Marco Rubio is cute and Paul Ryan is decent looking

Ryan's personality is so nasty that any good looks are ruined.

No matter what Rubio does, this great moment will be forever etched in my memory:

[WhiskeyGrinder]

61. Ryan looks to me like he could use a good punishing.

And that gif is a CLASSIC.

[Blindingly apparent]

63. Theres just so many, its hard to pick just one

But if I must-It would have to be David Nunez. But I haven’t figured out yet just how I would cr it would have to be David Nunez. But I haven’t figured out yet just how I would crush him- maybe I old-fashioned biblical‘stoning
