President Trump has clearly kept his pledge to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C. desperate for a new home, former Republican swamp creatures are seeking refuge in the Democratic Party.
During the first night of the Democratic National Convention, four so-called Republicans publicly voiced their opposition to President Trump, abandoning the principles they once purported to believe in and fully embracing the Democratic Party ticket and its radical agenda.
One of them was former Ohio Governor John Kasich, who has never gotten over his humiliating repudiation by GOP voters in the 2016 presidential primaries and has spent the intervening years launching dirty smears against Donald Trump and his administration in a desperate bid for relevance, or at least attention. It hasnt worked out especially well, so Kasich removed his GOP mask and went all-in for Biden, finally garnering him the headlines hes been seeking.
Joe Biden is a man for our times, times that call for all of us to take off our partisan hats and put our nation first for ourselves and, of course, for our children, Kasich said at the convention, clearly reveling in the chance to claim the spotlight for a few moments.
Like other establishment politicians, Kasich was careful to stick to meaningless platitudes. But hes obviously inexperienced when it comes to addressing lefties because his reference to putting our nation first undoubtedly drew groans from liberals all over the country who recognized it for what it was: a blatant ripoff of Donald Trumps America First brand. The difference between Kasich and Trump is that whereas America First language is just something Kasich sprinkles into his speeches to give them a patriotic flavor, its the fundamental guiding principle behind President Trumps entire administration.
Former New York Representative Susan Molinari was another swamp creature who traded principles for publicity by addressing the DNC.
Ive also gotten to know and work with Joe Biden on issues related to women that are so important to all of us women in business, violence against women, she said at the event.
Lets start with the obvious it's impossible to objectively discuss Bidens record on womens issues without first addressing his long history of disturbing behavior around women. Its important to remember that the former vice president currently faces multiple accusations of sexual misconduct from women accusing him of touching them inappropriately. Some of these women are even committed Democrats with absolutely no partisan loyalties to the GOP.
"My brain couldn't process what was happening. I was embarrassed. I was shocked. I was confused," Lucy Flores, a Democratic politician from Nevada, wrote last year while recalling her terrifying encounter with predatory Biden. "The vice-president of the United States of America had just touched me in an intimate way reserved for close friends, family, or romantic partners and I felt powerless to do anything about it.
Neither Molinari nor any of the other Republican women put on display at the DNC including former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman mentioned anything about the troubling accusations against Biden. Instead, the Whitmans chose to expend their credibility by indulging liberal fantasies, attacking the presidents strongest electoral attribute his monumental record of economic accomplishments.
This isnt about [being] a Republican or a Democrat it's about a person. A person decent enough, stable enough, strong enough, to get our economy back on track, said Christine Todd Whitman, ignoring the fact that President Trump already engineered one historic economic recovery by elevating us from the torpor of the Obama-Biden years to the record-setting prosperity we achieved until the coronavirus pandemic emerged from China, and is currently in the process of making history again by presiding over the V-shaped post-pandemic rebound.
Just last month our country added a whopping 1.8 million jobs, exceeding expectations for the third straight month. And since May, the U.S. economy has managed to regain more than 9 million jobs the fastest rate of sustained job creation in American history.
Meg Whitman made a similarly ludicrous accusation, claiming that Donald Trump has no clue how to run the U.S. economy, yet Joe Biden does. As a successful businesswoman, Whitman is certainly aware that Bidens big-government agenda of massive tax hikes and overbearing regulations would strangle our nascent economic recovery in its cradle. As a reasonably well-informed American citizen, she is certainly aware that our countrys experience over the past 20 years directly contradicts her thesis. As a swamp creature, she has no compunctions about ignoring all of that and saying whatever she thinks her audience wants to hear.
President Trump has clearly kept his word swamp creatures are abandoning the GOP en masse and flocking to the Democratic Party. Now, the American people can finally see these so-called Republicans for what they truly are sleazy political opportunists willing to say and do anything to advance their own interests.
These Republican “leaders” have no followers.
They sure don’t.
I seriously doubt they ever "believed in" the conservative platform. Like the libertarian trash that infests conservative forums. They are merely there to push an agenda and get the attention they desperately crave.
We don't need them in the first place.
Because it’s the party of Big Government. The more government, the more people reliant on it. They give the poor chump change and skim the cream off the top for themselves.
Speaking of swamp creatures, the ardent Never Trumper, Rich Lowry of the once great National Review, was gushing on Twitter about Bidens horrid speech:
Forceful, energetic delivery, strongest when portraying his program as all about jobs, speech lost focus in the second halfbut overall, probably helped himself
Eff the NRO and eff the GOP. The GOP doesn’t stand for anything but big government, globalism, and war profiteering. After Trump the GOP, and likely America itself, is dead.
More marxists unmasked
Perhaps Lowry can name 4 things Biden plans on doing to help America. That was the same speech we have heard for 40 years, lots of platitudes and no specifics. He blew the final line.
The GOP died when Ryan stabbed conservatives in the back. Trump is what is saving the traitors from the horrors of a Marxist hell. Think the war profiteers won’t be in the front of the line to have their wealth taxed out of existence to raise the marxists to be head pigs in the trough.
“After Trump the GOP, and likely America itself, is dead.”
Did you watch Hannity last night? I don’t always but did catch a portion last night when he had Levine on. Hannity basicall cut Levine loose to read some of the high points of the DNC platform. Hannity didn’t interrupt Levine...actually told Levine “You have an extra minute.” and Levine continued.
Bottom line, if the Dems win this election, this country IS dead. Their policies will be so destructive, this country will over.
When Trump is gone so is the Republican Party. There are a handful of Republicans I like but I certainly dont trust them to run the country. Right now the only Republican Im 100% sure wont sell us out is Don Jr. Jr. has the backbone and belly to deal with Satans assembled forces on the left. Jr. wont f up his dads legacy either. I certainly hope the Trump dynasty exceeds that of the Kennedys.
Trump is what Americans wanted, not Democrat lite Republicans. That is why we voted for Donald J. Trump, not any GOPe mush!
Add Charlie Dent former Pa. congressman to the list of swamp critters to openly trash Trump and will vote for slow joe.
Should Trump win in November, during his inauguration speech he should declare hes leaving the Republican Party and starting a new Conservative-Liberty Party, inviting all like-minded Republicans to join.
He could finally destroy the uni-party structure and put those fence-sitters on notice: Join or Die.
These SWAMP creatures have come out and shown their Red Monkey Asses for all to see!!
swamp creatures are abandoning the GOP en masse and flocking to the Democratic Party
*************
Four down and a lot more to go. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
...I could not (with great sadness...) agree with you more!
a headline from another site today:
“More than 70 Republican former national security officials come out in support of Biden”
Pray that Trump prevails in November; based on what (little) I saw of the DNC’s anti-Trump hate-fest, if Slow Joe wins in November, our great country will soon cease to exist as we now know and love it.....
Some day, at a future DNC convention, I would not be surprised to see Nikki Haley making the same sort of speech Molinari and Whitman made.
