All right. So we're all losing our minds over George Will, Jonah Goldberg, Bill Kristol, and all the rest hammering Trump harder than they're hammering Hillary and insulting their own base.
Could this be a brilliant strategy to whip up the conservative base, infuriate them, to actually *get* them to stand strong behind their candidate?
I mean, really. When have we *ever* seen the conservative talking heads and bloggers behave this way as a group?
Trump16!
And Merry Christmas. :)
BINGO!!!!
“Could this be a brilliant strategy to whip up the conservative base, infuriate them, to actually *get* them to stand strong behind their candidate?”
The GOPe is not that smart, and besides, they genuinely are petrified (and hate) Trump and Cruz more than Hillary because they know that either Trump or Cruz mean that business as usual will come screeching to a halt, whereas with Hillary, nothing will change, including for the minions and string-pullers of the GOPe.
Nope, NOT a “ploy”; they hated Reagan too and also went after him; though not quite as rabidly.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, MARIE, TO YOU AND YOURS.
LOL...well I wasn’t “too young” back then and yes, they went after Reagan quite badly.
You are so lucky to have been a part of the Reagan Revolution!
Merry Christmas to you, nopardons!
No. They are all part of the Uniparty.
The GOPe is happy being the (dis)loyal opposition and controlling Congress during another Clinton administration. They prefer that.
They HATE conservatives (though Trump is ideologically a moderate).
The Chamber of Commerce has dedicated 100 million to defeat ‘Tea Party’ candidates next time out. They don’t want anyone rocking the boat.
Our republic has become a sham. The players change turns driving the car, but they are all inside driving us over the cliff. As long as the GOPe gets their goodies (political spoils) and maintain power, they are happy.
Conservatives want power to accomplish specific goals. The Uniparty’s goal is power itself.
Trump has exposed Fox and many politicians as part of the Uniparty.
Paul Ryan telling us “this is not who we are” - taking a page from Obama’s b.s.? Importing hundreds of thousands of foreigners to take American’s jobs and possibly blow them up is apparently who they think we are.
The GOPe is a crony capitalist cabal which uses its fake opposition to the Leftists to dupe the public and steal their votes.
And they wonder why we are mad?
Will, Kristol, Krauthammer and the rest of the GOPe intelligentsia believe that Donald Trump is an existential threat to the Republican Party, and if he is the nominee he will forever destroy the party and make it toxic with minority voters.
They have bought into the cultural marxist frame and instead of fighting it wish to surrender and offer up a loser candidate like JEB!
Of course these OLD RINOS are ignoring the demographics Trump is bringing to the table: Blue collar people from EVERY race and creed who are sick and tired of being screwed over by both parties. This demographic has seen their jobs shipped overseas, their salaries frozen, and their quality of life plummet. Many of these are former dems or moderate Republicans who for 20+ years have watched their country fall apart around them. And they are ANGRY.
By ignoring these people the GOPe are ignoring the core that made AMERICA GREAT!
If RINCE PUBUS has a brain in his head he would tell the old Queens in the GOPe to shove it and let the best man win instead of playing games. In the end the smart move is to embrace the wave of support that Trump brings instead of attacking it.
Yes the base was furious but they were unafraid. We became louder, more equipped and now they cry out. Until the big wigs begin to shed crocodile tears we will continue to drive the point home. Things have changed. Mo now plays on our side and we have big plans that do not include the winos of DC. Having never lead a movement, seen a movement.. they don’t realize what they might be facing. When they at last focus - the outcome is anyone*s guess. It will not be pretty. Many of the GOP will gladly cut their own throats rather then see what they have built being swept out from under them. We can do it! I am America. You are America. We ARE AMERICA!

WE STUMP FOR TRUMP
AND CANNOT LOSE WITH CRUZ.
THE TWO ON A TICKET WILL SHOW WHERE TO STICK IT
AMERICA WANTS JUSTICE FOR HER COUNTRY AND PEOPLES.
DESTROY ALL WHO WISH HER DAMAGE...ALL OF THEM!! NO PUNISHMENT IS TOO SEVERE!
MAKE AMERICA GREAT FOR GREAT AMERICANS
WE*RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER
That may be the result but it's definitely not a strategy.
The strategy of Will, Kristol, Goldberg, et al is, "we'll get 'em next time."
They ain’t that smart.
[[When have we *ever* seen the conservative talking heads and bloggers behave this way as a group?]]
Umm- forever?
It’s no ploy- they hate Donald and Cruz- with a passion- and they can’t contain themselves- their inner democrat is bursting out of them
It begins to make sense when considering that these GOPe pundits have alot to lose should GOPe go down in flames.
They will be shown to be of inconsequential value, politically speaking. A career change perhaps.
They will kick and scream and must be defeated, surely as the Democratic regime and it’s MSM allies must be defeated.
You're just saying that because it's true...
“If this *is* a political ploy, it’s working beautifully.”
I wish it too. But the LAST THING they want is Trump to be the next president, as that makes him the defacto leader of the party - and guess who gets relegated to K-Street then.
So their first priority is to stop Trump.
Their second priority is for one of THEIR Republicans to win the presidency (more jobs for them).
If the above fails, they’ll settle with Hillary as they will at least keep their jobs for the next 4 years.
Their VERY LAST priority is the long-term survival of this country...THEY COULD CARE LESS. They figure they have the connections and the money to stay safe, regardless of what the Dems do. Obviously they need to learn a bit about what it’s like to be on the losing end of revolutions (like the Soviet Revolution, for starters).
Come on, WENDLE. Don't beat around the bush - tell us what you REALLY think.
This "read between the lines" stuff is really off-putting. LOL! :)
Washingtono Delenda Est
They are Democrats in R jerseys.<<<
Kinda like a “JV team” that are mostly seniors.....I’m guessing BHO has been there....Do your own DD as to why he thinks that way!!!
