And a deceptive one at that. Note the inaccurate & pretentious use of words. She would not qualify for a decent high school newspaper. But then the standards for the one she works for are probably below those of a decent High School newspaper.

It will be an educational Fall and Winter. I don’t think it matters as much who wins as how folks react to who wins. If Trump wins I don’t think the libtards will accept it and I suspect they will do all they can to encourage the BLM types to violence but as I recall the survivor of Cloward Piven was disappointed with their lack of violence in behalf of the Rats a few years ago. The snowflakes have no discipline and less firearms familiarity so they literally are keyboard warriors. The Rat elites won’t stir up real revolution because they won’t risk themselves and know better than have a revolution where one of theirs is not CINC. I suspect a Trump presidency will be very similar to W Bush unless Trump really starts charging the Rats with their crimes.

We all know how a Hillary presidency will go down. Just consider the opposite of all of the above. On our side we DO have firearms and familiarity and some semblance of discipline on good days. We won’t needlessly stir things up but we will not be peacefully disarmed regardless who is CINC. Nor will we be taxed into the stone age.

IMHO we have one slim avenue to restoration of the Republic. A Trump win followed swiftly by arrest and trial of every Rat that can be caught and hauled before the Bar. Sort of a Truth and Reconciliation process. Like out West where I grew up. The ranchers would hang coyote carcasses on the gates to their spread. The criminals that have been running things need to be prosecuted. Lacking that a Trump win is just Bush III.

As I watch this extraordinary treatment of trump by the media as Hillary! surrogates, it occurs to me that what they want to do is bring Trump so far down in the polls that people won’t pay attention to how badly she does when they debate. They want the race over before the first debate. Or else she has NO chance.

Now the Washington Post is telling the "start" of a stampede of Republican experts defecting from Trump...

I think it isn't an exaggeration of a stampede. Republicans are defecting from Trump and they seem to be increasing in number. What isn't being told is that these are true RINOs/uniparty members not the rank and file. Here in the People's Republic of New York, we had a group of RINOs, led by the detestable Senator Pothole himself, Al D'Amato, who formed Republicans for Cuomo to support Andrew Cuomo's re-election early in 2014 before the Republican candidate was even chosen. These are the ones who are defecting from Trump nationally.

The impression that clymers like Jennifer Rubin want to give, of course, is that Trump is losing the supporters he had with him during the primaries. That is utter garbage, but they keep at it, nonetheless.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) wrote an op-ed declaring that she would not vote for Trump

Pray tell? When has she ever sided with the repubs?

What also needs to be acknowledged is that these Republicans aren't just @ssholes today ... they were @ssholes when they were considered "highly respected foreign policy experts" during the George W. Bush administration.

What's happening here is that Hillary Clinton is running as both the Democrat and Republican candidate ... while Donald Trump is effectively an Independent running on the Republican ticket.

Already this week, a letter from 50 respected Republican foreign-policy gurus...one of these a$$es - some former ambassador - was on Fox Business last hour - host David Asman hit him hard with Hillary - the mess she made as secretary of state, her reckless handling of classified info - man agreed completely that she was not competent or prudent, said his signing of this letter was not an endorsement of Hillary for president - astounding - the morning of November 9th one of two people - Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump - will be the next president of the US - theses fools don't seem to be able to think beyond the end of their own noses to understand that hurting Trump is the best way to help Hillary......

Jebbifer Rubin is quite dismayed that Yeb! did not get to be the Designated Loser like was planned.
As a propagandist for The Cheap Labor Express it is her job to make sure we never elect a President who would stop the illegal alien inundation.

. . . getting rid of all the RINOs will mark the purification and rejuvenation of the Republican Party.

This kind of healthy self-purging is just what the doctor ordered.

A whole new cadre of right-thinking politicians will be replacing this small lily-livered herd of Rinos.

Let them stampede off stage left.

I don’t read Rubin’s column; does anyone know if she ever writes about the high crimes and misdemeanors of H. Clinton and other Democrats? Or is she just stuck on writing in her Donald Trump slam book every day?

"The Clinton team, not surprisingly, took this as an invitation to commit violence. "

This latest media frenzy highlights once again how terrified demRATs are of self-reliant free American citizens.
