The conservative movement is starting to look a lot like Syria.
Baited, taunted, mocked by Fox News, Donald Trump told Roger Ailes what he could do with his Iowa debate, and marched off to host a Thursday night rally for veterans at the same time in Des Moines.
Message: I speak for the silent majority, Roger, not you, not Megyn Kelly, not Fox News. Diss me, and I will do fine without Fox.

As in the 1970's, the media is on the side of the moderates. So are the Washington insiders, the intellectual elites and the experts.
But the Americans who work and support families see America in decline and the elites as causing this decline.
Reagan was despised by Washington and the media. George H.W. Bush insulted him regularly. Others called Reagan a racist, a dunce and an out of control threat to start a nuclear war.
Republicans control Congress. They’re not exactly out of power. The civil war is over what to do with that power.
Republicans have majorities in both Houses of Congress.
The Democrats still control everything.
Same with Limbaugh.
People forget everything dies in the senate since we don’t have a 60 vote majority.
Nice!
Another quibble over semantics.
The UNI-PARTY controls the Federal Government.
As long as they do, we the people are nothing more than peasants.
Need proof? Look at what is happening out here in Flyover Country:
Black Lives Matter.
Ranchers prison terms extended by a judge on his whim.
Just to name two.
-—The civil war is over what to do with that power.——
What we learn in 2016 is that absent the presidency, the power is illusionary
Thanks for the reminder. This is important.
Yes. The options are 1) Nothing, which is what the GOPe intends to do, given its past performance; or 2) At least seat a chief executive who will stand on principle, even if Congress won't.
It brings out the upside-down possibility of a conservative Republican president battling not just the liberal Democrat factions, but the entrenched business-as-usual Republicans as well.
I hope the populist revolution will echo down-ballot, and a lot of RINOs will be tossed this go-round.
I watched Trump’s event on NEWSMAX last night, I found it very refreshing.
The other thing is obama can just veto any of our programs and it’s damn hard to override a veto. Pubbies get bashed a lot for good reason but there are some very real constraints that many people forget.
“No matter who you vote for, the government always wins.”
There’s most certainly a vicious civil war on FR. The battles between Trump and Cruz partisans are starting to look like the Wilderness campaign of 1864.
When do the forest fires start?
Thank you... I thought I was the enlightened one, because all I see is one party... the party of the bureaucratic ruler class. All the Republicans in Congress/Senate are is the Washington Generals to the Democrat Harlem Globetrotters. 0-16000. They say they need the senate, the house, the presidency and STILL no conservative agenda because of the MILLIONS of faceless unionized bureaucrats that stuff every nook and cranny of the government with the inability to fire or make the stop what they feel like doing to us.
I’m not getting that from Rush. While not attacking or defending either party, he has explained Trump’s actions. He even said yesterday that he’s been telling republicans for years not to play the media’s game. To push back and to stand up and fight.
“No matter who you vote for, the government always wins.â€
Truer words have never been spoken.
We have been searching and voting for candidates to even start making changes in Washington for over 50 years. A savior if you will. So far we, the voter seem to be batting way, way short of the Mendoza line.
Maybe Trump will help, I do not know, but I am praying.
I like Rush but his vision of America is not the same as mine although similar they are still different. We do share common enemies. He is more of an ally than a partner.
A false assumption is that the Goop represents the right. Trump does not represent the silent majority nor the right. The media is quite divided.
