Rubio to Trump: Your comments give white supremacists "a win"
Axios ^ | 8/15/2017 | Shane Shavitsky

Posted on 08/15/2017 7:13:56 PM PDT by lodi90

Sen. Marco Rubio issued a statement via Twitter on Tuesday denouncing President Trump's repeated statements that "many sides" were responsible for this weekend's violence in Charlottesville during his press conference this afternoon, telling Trump that spreading the blame for the events would allow white supremacists to count it "as a win."

The only actual white supremacists I know are elites in the media or as liberal oligarchs who own the internet.

Oops sorry duplicate post. Thought I left it unposted. Not worthy of two posts.

“The impeachment of Trump has been greenlighted. Rubio delivers the first volley via Tweet.”

Most elected Republicans DESPISE Trump, because, among other things, he’s holding them to their platform.

However, Trump will only be impeached when enough elected Republicans believe that they can throw him out of office, and then survive their next election. Right now, I’m not sure that a single Republican in either chamber believes that. That day can still come, but it will take an event beyond their control, such as Trump turning left (such as supporting ‘Comprehensive Immigration Reform’)...at which point we won’t care if he’s removed.

Short of that, and there are no clues that day is coming, we will have his back and the elected Republicans understand that there would be hell to pay if they try to remove him - which is why they have not to date, and will not.

Note the elderly white guy between the two thugs. Looks clueless and was merely a placeholder hired by the Soros gang.

Isn’t he supposedly under death threats? Does he want even more?

Maybe, but “the base” refuses to vote “D”, thus what power does the base really have? I'm taking the view that more events will be manufactured to create a negative drumbeat about the Administration. Or a confrontation with NK which the Republicans can jawbone about the bad choice Trump made, etc. The tempo will increase, the riots, the chattering, etc. One thing the Nihilists like Obama/Jarrett, Clintons, Soros are particularly good at is orchestrating destruction. The cowardly Reps just need to let it happen while thwarting Trump's tax cuts, and voila, rumbling for impeachment, then “for the good of the country” resignation. Like Watergate. It's stomach turning, but we're a great nation in decline. See my tagline, until schools return to teaching vs. brainwashing, I don't think the barbarians and nihilists can be turned back over the next decade.

See my post above. I doubt anybody has a plan except to unseat Trump. And the coalition that voted him in will need another Trump like person to unite them again. Unlikely. I would guess we’re headed toward European style “democracy” with many parties. Or Balkanization of the US of A. If the youth aren’t educated to know what a Constitutional Republic is and why it is not a democracy, all bets are off. The Founders threw off the tyrant’s yoke so its evil was fresh on their minds. But they knew human nature tends to act the same way over time...thus Franklin’s “a Republic if you can keep it!”

“...The guy has an innate sense of when to attack....”

He’s got BALLS, friend. Something sadly lacking in the GOP. He doesn’t owe anyone anything, and NO ONE OWNS HIM, and he knows it.

I hope he starts smacking down the leftardniki groups the same way... only harder.

Trump brilliantly has positioned the Left/MSM as siding with the communist ANTIFA folks.

Excellent analysis. Sadly, it's time to bring back to life a meme or two from the Republican nomination fight. Whatever happened to supporting the President of your own party? Traitors...

I bet Rush will not air this on his show.

Agree. This is when we find out how true Rush is to President Trump. At this point, he's got to choose Trump or the GOPe. You can't have it both ways.

There's a fast growing video/podcast guy, Bill Mitchell, who is aiming to lead the Trump supporting wing, the Deplorables. Rush must be looking over his shoulder at Mitchell.

In terms of content and engaging daily dialogs about politics, Bill Mitchell has already surpassed Rush and Hannity. Though I think Herman Cain (morning radio in the Atlanta area) is a strong contender.

Helping Mitchell's move is the trend to "cut the cord" and get more commentary via on-line video as opposed to TV and radio.

For those who have seen Mitchell's videos, here's one from a few days ago.
