July is supposed to be a relatively quiet time in Washington, D.C., but alas not this year.
Trumpmania has struck the Capitol, but not the good kind. Political operatives and pundits are running around town like their hair is on fire trying to get in front of each other attacking the real estate magnate. What they apparently are too myopic to understand is that every time a Washington, D.C. know-it-all attacks Trump, he goes up in the polls.
Memo to D.C., when you read polls that say that people hate politicians, believe them. People, particularly those who have been Republican voters in the past, have had enough of being played for fools by the political class. People really don’t like or trust you. Now, they tolerate their existing Member of Congress the way a new dog owner accept that a puppy is going to mess on the floor, but
Anyone who doesn’t understand that basic truth should have their consultant card revoked.
When you run for office again and again promising that you are going to repeal Obamacare, yet you never really planned on taking the hard but necessary steps to do it, people are going to feel betrayed.
When you run for office saying you are going to fight tooth and nail against Obama’s executive amnesty, and then cave in when the President shockingly threatens a veto, don’t expect the people you convinced to give you one more chance not to turn away in disgust.
And when you run promising to rein in Obama and then make giving him “an enormous grant of power” through fast track trade authority, the people who believed you get even more incensed.

We're not so easily fooled! Well, some are!

Three home runs
What the GOPE/RINO leaders need to do is to pretend they're in a battle with conservatives ... they always fight extra hard then.
The peasants rose up against socialized medicine and the GOP-e was "fighting" to repeal 0bamacare in 2014 - UNTIL THE ELECTION WAS OVER.
NOW they're "FIGHTING" Big Government.
Let me talk to you aboust some land down on a Bayou in Mississippi.
And CRUZ!
Calling out the GOPe for suppressing the will of those that got them elected.
GREAT!
I don’t believe it.
It is all BS magic words to lie, get elected, and vote with democrats.
I doubt the GOPe’s will fight for anything except for their crony friends.
They will simply offer more lip service.
If not, the next popular uprising will be a hell of a lot scarier!
Why would pigs shrink the trough.
I meant to say “carry a big stick.” I was trying for a Teddy Roosevelt allusion.
And on Trump allegedly changing all of his positions between 2004 and 2011, he’s 69 years old.
Not likely.
The establishment is more than willing to give the appearance that it’s fighting for limited government.
So...what exactly makes people think Trump is for limited government?
As soon as the election is over they will forget all about it.
If the other GOP candidates really cared about this country, they would withdraw and let Cruz, Trump and Fiorina forcefully make their points without the needless distraction of people like Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham.
Any fool that elects someone that has to be forced into doing something is too stupid to be allowed to vote in the first place.
