And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28:18-20 KJV
Since I was the only pundit who predicted the Trump leads when all the professionals were writing funeral after funeral, let’s take a look at why. He is using the formula many of us have been shouting in the wilderness for years. He is speaking common sense while the rest of the pack is using the same nothing burger clichés.
America is not as liberal as the Three Pillars of Propaganda (media, academia and the DNC) and he is peaking unfiltered to them. From his simple message of Making America Great Again to building the wall or shooting barbs at his enemies the American people get and like it. Now they may have their favorites on the list, but enough of them appreciate what and how he is saying it that he very likely will win the nomination. Has the GOP signed a loyalty agreement when he does?
What if everything the campaign managers have told us was wrong? What if Americans are not the wimps they have told us they are and like conflict and battles? What if Americans like war and a good bloodbath every once in a while and especially if it is for saving their families and country from enemies of what they love? What if those managers don’t know what they are talking about?
When I was involved in campaigns and won 10 of 12 in a Blue state for Republicans and one of those losses was against both the Repub and Dem Parties throwing everything they had at my candidate to maintain Light Rail funding, I learned a lot about managing campaigns and campaign managers. Our motto was that win or lose the manager always gets paid. During the Romney campaign everyone lost who had an upside down district except ours and one other one in the state and all those managers’ checks cashed. One candidate who was advised to support homosexual marriage lost by 30 points and still paid her mis-manager.
Their basic theory is if you pretend you are a Dem you will win in a Dem state. The way it works is in their world everyone can and will be tricked or badgered into voting for you. Their view is if you take a two dimensional map which the vertical line is spiritual and the horizontal is political views then you want to be as close to zero as possible. In their world you would ideally be negative on the spiritual and slightly negative on the political scale.
How does this work? If you were to do the spiritual scale as the top would be Billy Graham or Jerry Falwell and the bottom would be pure atheism they would want you to ignore all social issues and lean towards atheism without offending those ignorant Christian hillbillies. On the other axis you would have Stalin/Hitler/Mao/Obama on one end and Ronald Magnus on the other they would have you lean Mao according to their theory on how to trick people.
The problem with managers is they are political science majors who are trained by Dem professors. They know and have seen the real data that America is basically a Christian and Conservative nation even today. If you are Dem your problem is you have to convince people to vote against their own interests. They have to vote to have everything they work for to be taken away and live in a way they never would choose on their own with Marxist redistribution and overregulation so they lie.
What they do is they pretend they are people they are not. Most Dems are extreme Marxists along the lines of Mao and just as atheist. They know that this will never get them elected so they move Right and upward as they hold their noses and spout their love of small business and quote scriptures to pretend they are not who they are. This works since they know a vast majority of votes are on the Conservative side so they have to move to where the voters are. This is how the famous shift after the primary came to be and is why Republicans are fools to copy their formula, but do election after election and loss after loss.
Republican managers like Rove believe the winning territory is as close to zero on both axis’ and slightly to the negative without scaring off your base as you appeal to the precious middle. The problem with this theory is that the Conservative candidates already own the middle and really need to focus on getting their own people energized and give them a reason to vote. The middle are followers looking for a leader which is the opposite of pandering. The wins are not in the middle they are planted in the top right where leaders are found.
Trump is winning by staying to the Right of everyone except Cruz who is likely doing well behind the scenes. If Trump would make a stand on the right for Christians to practice their faith in their jobs and stand up for Wendy Davis the elections would basically be over as the silent majority would have their voices heard. This is an emotional issue just like immigration where the American people are confused and disgusted that their gummit is jailing Christians for heartfelt beliefs over their opposition to homosexuality.
The homosexual lobby is the most intolerant group of Stalinists who have ever walked the planet. It is not enough that they have been accepted, they believe they have to be celebrated. Jesus told us to love the sinner, but hate the sin and go sin no more. Homosexuals want us to love the sinner as well as the sin. If you don't celebrate their perversion you will go to jail. They may have the Supreme Court which may the Supreme of the nation but are not the God of the universe which is who wrote the Bible and who Christians obey. Trump needs to articulate this and he will soar higher than anyone in histoir and show he is ready to lead America.
What Repubs have to understand is they can listen to their managers and chase after the 15-20% or they can command the 75%. Up to now the candidates have chased the 15 and ignored the 75. Now Trump has seized on that group with immigration and now he has to finish it with the Wendy Davis issue and lock them into his camp and strap on gas tanks and walk through a forest fires for him. He needs to really evaluate this issue and be a hero for Christian America. It is past time to body slam the PC crowd once and for all.
Pray America is waking
Enough braying!
I don't think you mean WENDY Davis. Don't you mean Kim?
I don't think this particular person will make much of a difference in the election. The case is pretty convoluted, involving whether or not there actually is a law that has to be followed, did the USSC void that law, if so, what stands in its place? etc. I'm guessing she'll be quietly let out and will quietly resign.
Good bray. You mean Kim Davis?
Exactly right and I have spend the last two days trying to pound that into peoples heads!
I certain he meant Kim, I don’t think standing up for abortion barbie gets you many GOP indy votes.
to whomever develpod the Donald Logo... Congratulations
It is Great Work..and an instant CLASSIC!!
Maybe the O with the comb-over should be morphed more into a D with a comb-over. The O has no significance for The Donald.
good catch!
"We can do it---deal with it."
That is pretty good.
Bray may have been the only pundit, but a number of folks here at FR were saying it early on, a couple even as he was not yet officially in the running.
and pretty quick..../s
Thank You
O = Opposite of Obama
Hilarious!
Sorry, yes Kim Davis.
“Homosexuals want us to love the sinner as well as the sin. If you don’t celebrate their perversion you will go to jail.”
Which is Fascism. There can NEVER be Just Law which promotes the sodomization of others——it promotes using human beings as a means to an end and in irrational, vile, purposeless ways——it is reducing man to godless animal (stripping dignity) (Marxist/muslim Worldview).
We are FLIPPING our “Justice” System to a VICE SYSTEM when we promote sodomy or killing babies etc. And that is HOW we got to where we are NOW. Cicero stated (correctly) that when you have a SYSTEM of “Just Law” which promotes evil-—theft (welfare) or any vice-—you will destroy civil society eventually. Vice breeds vice and division and hate.
Republics need Trust, Love, Dignity and Purpose.....and most of all NATURAL LAWS (REASON AND LOGIC AND SCIENCE)-——a set of coherent, logical Laws......which promote “public virtue” (Montesquieu). ‘Laws that cease to be Just (virtuous), cease to be Law” All “law” which promotes vice is “null and void” (Justice Marshall).
The SCOTUS threw out Reason (Natural Law Theory/God’s Works) from our Constitution. That is impossible without 86ing the Constitution of the USA and imposing Mao’s or Stalin’s constitution-—which is unconstitutional.
The SCOTUS people who ejected the Constitution (and Reason) should GO to PRISON or an insane asylum, NOW.
