NEVER DIVIDE WHEN FACING AN ENEMY
CFP ^ | August 26, 2016 | Dr. Brad Lyles

Posted on 08/27/2016 4:06:13 AM PDT by iontheball

“Never divide your forces in the face of a superior enemy.” This famous dictum has been a truism of war for 5,000 years. Heedless, our brothers and sisters in the Establishment, and in #NeverTrump, believe they can summon victory from the ashes of a conflagration of their own making. Worse, they continue to pursue their divisive actions despite their inability to define the victory they are pursuing.

Dr. Lyles has profound advice for the 'Never Trump' holdouts. He also rightfully places the lukewarm, half hearted sniveling conservative egotists in the same kettle. We obviously need a full-throated, full court press for Trump in these final days, but will the egotistically insane conservatives do the right thing and join in with full enthusiasm. Possibly the most embarrassing of the holdouts is Levin who needs to wakeup and read this article and ponder the damage he is doing to this country. He needs to use what is left of is bullhorn to maximum advantage. If Trump should lose this thing Levin is toast for the way he is standing on the sidelines still wishing the Republican candidate was anyone but Trump. There is still time for the holdouts to have an epiphany.

Win or lose by Trump, this election may be the twilight of the conservative establishment.

Who said they are divided. They seem in synch with their preferred side.

At this stage, really bad things need to happen to those who claim to be Republicans who are working to elect Crime boss Hillary Clinton. Levin, Romney and the rest of the never Trumpers need to look south to Venezuela to see the future they are trying to bring to the USA.

The #NeverTrump are the enemy. They were just pretending to be Constitutionalists. Mark Levin’s deception is perhaps the worst because of his outstanding suggestions on modifying the Constitution. Then he supports a Canadian for President and opposes the only guy who can actually dismantle the Regulatory State.

The nevertrumpers are not, nor have they ever been conservatives. Just look at the list of who they are. While claiming to be conservative Cruz is a NWO Globalist supporting opening borders. Both Rush and Liven support the GOPe.

Its not so much that the NeverTrumpers are creating division as it is they are uniting with Pickles against a common enemy, namely Donald Trump and we, the Americans, who are supporting his campaign.

The neverTrumpers are every bit the enemy, just as much as Pickles and the MSM. The reason for this RINO/Pickles alliance is the fear that the two party scam will be exposed. Well, too late - it already has.

At this point, if you're not on the Trump train, then you're leftist/globalist scum.

Oh they can but that will only expose their true motivations, self preservation on the gravy train.

-—but will the egotistically insane conservatives do the right thing-—

“Egotistically insane” - never heard it put that way before, but it’s a pretty good description of the political equivalent of a suicide bomber.

It’s a horrible analogy.

And you do divide your forces against a superior enemy, ask Sun Tsu.

You don’t divide against an inferior enemy.

Besides, in both cases one would assume you are in the same army fighting for the same goal.

The #NeverTrumpers and globalists are not on the same side as Trump.

Best to flush them out of the bush and identify them for what they are.

This is where this admin is failing (on purpose) with ISIS and the Islamists. They won’t identify them and call them out.

I get the articles point, but it’s still a bad analogy.

I was in Casablanca years ago when the muslim call to prayer came over the loudspeaker. As one, dozens of men fell to their knees and began praying, leaving only me and my crew standing.

I realized at that moment that we had lost. They are truly one, all united at defeating everyone else.

Nathan Bedford Forrest AND Lee were good enough. On several occasions, with God’s orders, the Israelites divided their forces and defeated enemies. There are exceptions.

Levin wants to keep people believing in the Uniparty political system this country has.

The “Constitutional Convention” notion ties people up with Republican Establishment politicians at the state level, some of whom will advance to federal office as pretend conservatives ending up supporting folks like Ryan and McConnell in DC.

Did Hooker or Greene attack BOTH sides? Or did they join in a common cause?
