E.J. Dionne, April 3: This time it really is the end of Trump. Really.

This time it really is the end of Trump. Really.

That was the title of the E.J. Dionne's column in the April 3 Washington Post. It was so spectacularly wrong in its prognostications that it really does deserve an award. Really. If only Dionne's column had been published two days earlier he could at least save some face by claiming it was just an April Fools joke. Unfortunately for Dionne, he doesn't have that out and will forever be known for perhaps the most hilariously wrong political predictions now and forever unto the end of time. It wouldn't be so bad for Dionne if his column had been merely a very tentative set of possible unfavorable outcomes for Trump. Instead, Dionne declared Trump to be flat out finished in a manner just oozing with smug arrogance as was reflected in his column title:

"This time it really is the end of Trump. Really."

That needs to carved on E.J. Dionne's tombstone.

Aww, come on, a political reporter who makes fantasy projections is the hallmark of a good reporter these days. Predicting is so old old old school, it is so much better to just toss out what you'd like to see happen, so people can nod to themselves over their coffee and the newspaper.

This, like most fantasy projections, will slip into the black hole of publishing just like every other ‘this is the end’ fantasy projection that has come down the pike since last June.

The GOPe has funded obummer’s entire agenda even into this year and they wonder why Trump?!?! Well we/US are finally getting our say in who and what gets to run this Country for BETTER or WORSE!!! At least for once our Vote actually will count! EF the uni-party and the donkeys and elephants they rode in on!

Bad prediction, but not as bad as this one:

The same applies to the conservative establishment including the talk show hosts. Bill Bennett had the good sense to retire this year. I believe that if Trump is elected, Limbaugh, Levin, Medved, Beck, and Hewitt will join Bennett in retirement. Oddly enough, the often despised Michael Savage and the lightweight Sean Hannity, not to mention crazy Alex Jones, will be the last few men standing in once powerful conservative talk radio.

Well, I believe that Dewey really DID defeat Truman, but Democrap voter fraud and shenanigans stole his election.

As it ever was ...

I hope every one of the “elite political class” is murdered by an illegal alien.

Why such a horrible thought?

Because that’s what they want for us. If they didn’t, they’d be speaking out on that travesty.

I just love it when preening, self-loving, pious scumbags decide to self-destruct right in front of you. EJ Dionne is a fag.

I’m not a big Trump guy, but many days recently I’ve had to turn Medved off because it’s just all anti Trump all the time. He we can be obnoxious all the time, so that’s nothing new. Plus now he is on so early on the West Coast that I wouldn’t listen to him anyway.

There is a word for those on the long list of political commentators who have predicted Peak-Trump. That word is “wealthy”. Whether they are right or wrong, they are paid generously for their vacuous writings.

“The instinct that Americans would never choose as their president a clownish peddler of racial and religious stereotypes who made everything up as he went along was right from the start.”

Does he mean like the half breed in the WH?

These lib commentators....especially the also-rans like Dionne, need to be hounded incessantly and mercilessly. I mean, relentlessly, until they jump off buildings.

And that goes for all at the UN too because there was an article the other day that they want US to backdoor hundreds of thousands of syrians and other into the US and you can bet obummer will try his best to go along with that before he leaves!

Dewey was very talented but apparently he was not a very likeable guy. Earl Warren was his running mate and apparently couldn’t stand him. Dewey was so sure he would win he was treating the election as if it was in the bag. Maybe Hillary will do the same this year.

If Ed Dionne got an award every time he was spectacularly wrong, especially about conservative politics, he’d need to add on to his penthouse to store them.

“half breed”

I’m old enough to remember a time when that phrase was commonly uttered as a perjorative. Why are you still doing it?
