This is the new normal (for conservatives and constitutionalists).
Why do you call yourself “Smarty”?
Thanks, we have great adult sons, nieces and nephews and a couple of grand kids, grand nephews and nieces.
Is there anything which gives you more satisfaction than raising a son or daughter,who does better than you?
No, there isn’t!
She was in the Reagan White for only 2 of the 8 years....she’s spent more time dining and profiting from that experience than she did on the job. She was an excellent wordsmith in her days long past.
From her web page....
“Before entering the Reagan White House, Noonan was a producer and writer at CBS News in New York, and an adjunct professor of Journalism at New York University.”
Aside from taking Ronaldus Magnus’ drafts and polishing them there is no hard evidence that she shared his conservative views
“Aside from taking Ronaldus Magnus’ drafts and polishing them”
That’s really it. Reagan’s drafts and notecards have been published. He clearly did the intellectual heavy lifting over decades. It’s amazing how much credit she hogs for it.
Yeah, that's what we thought after Reagan happened.
Then the GD bushes happened.
So I'll believe that when I see it.
I've been there - I've done that.
Yes, I voted for John McCain... I would NEVER do that again. I voted from Romney - I would never do that again either. Establishment Republicans might think we're like black democrats who can be strung along with lies and fake promises forever... but they would be wrong.
I would walk... lots of us would.
I feel bad about voting for John McCain, but I was hoping he’d die and Palin would take over. I liked her. My sticker read:
McCain for President.
If I have to.
I guess.
The other stickers I liked had McCain in small letters and and Palin in larger letters.
In any case, I think we dodged a bullet when McCain lost. I am not sure he would have better than Obama.
Romney I didn’t like either, but he would not have been worse than Obama.
I don’t care.
I am a Republican, the Party of Lincoln
Molly McCann is the first person to understand the Trump base. Hats off to her... amazing analysis...
Nails it......we use to want another Ronnie.....now we Need another Trump
You’ve been here a long time... We’re on the same team - I have no doubt about that.
Slightly different strategies but the same goal.
Maybe if we had ‘walked’ sooner the ticket would have been Palin/McCain rather than McCain/Palin... just a thought.
Exactly...having read his notes really makes it quite clear she was more of an editor rather than writer.
You got that right. I was completely done with them I was just waiting and hoping that something anything better would come along.
Trump saved the GOP from themselves.
“Maybe if we had ‘walked’ sooner the ticket would have been Palin/McCain rather than McCain/Palin... just a thought.”
The GOPe only put Palin on the ticket because they had to. Tea Party republicans wouldn’t have shown up at all to vote for the false maverick.
Truth be told, when the dems scream, “we have to burn U.S. down in order to change”, they were not far wrong. If Obama never joked/insulted Trump, I’m not sure Trump runs. That lit the fuse.
But once in the game, Trump is all in. No one has to like him, but you have to admit he’s Pretty Damned Effective.
With any answered prayers ,(since liberals don’t pray, they want and demand), Winning should continue next week. That’s what i pray.
True. But if rather than being 'bought off' by Establishment Republicans (with Palin) we had refused to accept the RINO offer, McCain still would have lost - BUT WE WOULD HAVE SENT A POWERFUL MESSAGE. A message that we're not going to be played for fools by OUR corrupt 'elites'.
In short WE would have the win... even with the loss of McCain.
Blacks are facing the same issue - they need to get off the democrat plantation ... we need to stay off the Establishment Conservative Plantation.
