Except, OUR hectoring, loudmouth buffoon actually KNOWS how the economy works and really DIGS America!
Is the last vestige of the worthless Bush family pronounced Heb! or Yeb!
There is this notion that somehow “conservatism” is a religion with certain tenets that all must agree with, or you will be trashed as an apostate like Trump. How interesting that during the Bush 1 and 2 administrations, there was very little outpouring of name calling from “conservatives” over No Child Left Behind, the Medicare prescription drug benefit, crazy wars where we lost 5000 of our best in Iraq II and the “nation building” of the nuthouse called Afghanistan, the abandonment of no new taxes pledges, the trashing of Reagan’s legacy, etc., NONE of which had the slightest relation to classical or modern conservatism. RomneyCare, Ryan’s signoff on the Obama budget, Boehner’s middle finger to anything other than establishment politics, the Bush family’s pout over losing, big-time so they abandon sworn pledges to support the nominee. If that is “conservativsm” and as the alternative to Trump I have to take a rewind of the Clintons, they can stick it where the sun don’t shine.
Technically, it’s pronounced “Habe” but traditionally we write “Yeb!”
Look, lets say you are a car salesman and you sold a car to a guy. You collected the money, or a large down payment. And then the car company says that they won’t deliver the car. You’ve been paid but you can’t deliver. This looks really bad for business.
That is the problem with several “republican leaders and elite”. These guys are in the business of selling government favors. But Trump isn’t interested in agreeing to make good on these backroom deals. Saudi Arabia may lose favors. Mexico may lose funding. Defense contractors who charge a billion dollars for a tank nobody wants, may lose a contract. The Koch brothers don’t know who to back. So they may not support anyone this year. That scares the leadership who sell favors. Because it scares people who buy favors.
Thanx :-)
Or is it The Never Trump Pooters?
The Pic of Crystal looks like a pre-petard lift off face!
Au contraire. In many conservative circles, including FR, there was great objection to all the above you mention. If you did FR archival research, you would find vociferous opposition to NCLB and the RX drug expansion. Admittedly, the objection to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars was not so much of the underlying principle but the fact that we were not in them to win them - until The Surge.
I’m talking about the mainstream conservative “commentariat” such as National Review, George Will, Kristol, etc. and NOT about FR or other sites.
Puhleeeeze Mr. Trump.........................
Please don’ break MY RICE BOWL.
Don’ break it don’ break it DON’ DON’ DON BREAK IT!!!!
DON’T BREAK (OUR) RICE BOWELLL!!!!!
They fall into five groups. I call them the five B's. There is some overlap between the groups and some of the NEVER TRUMP people fall into more than one of these groups. I challenge anyone to find any who are not included in at least one of the groups.
1. THE BRIBED - These are the people paid by groups whose interest is directly contradictory to interest of the average American. They depend on the globalists to fund their campaigns. Then they go before the voters and pretend to care about them but hide their try intentions. The American people are sick of these people. They don't trust them. The high paid consultants can create some emotional appeal for them but it gets more difficult. They promise all kinds of things and then when it counts go along with whatever leftist policies are proposed.
2. THE BEHOLDEN - There is some overlap with the BRIBED but these are primarily New York and Washington commentators who have no real audience and whose very existence and career depend on a small network of supporters. They don't care about the American people and the American people don't care about them. But their small network of supporters provides them with media access and employment often with large publications and institutions.
3. THE BLACKMAILED - Ever since the Clintons got hold of the FBI files many Washington politicians have been afraid to challenge them or tell the truth. It is said that the Obama administration has also blackmailed many Republicans into unexpected compliance. While these politicians and pundits are afraid to attack liberal Democrats on important issues they see no problems with attacking Republicans.
4 THE BUSHES - Many of the instigators of the stop Trump movement appear to be associated with the Bush family interests. When Bush was still running the idea was to attack Trump but not his supporters. Once Bush left the race it was time to destroy Trump. Candidates were told to go after Trump and personally ridicule him. Candidates were told to gang up against Trump. Lindsey Graham and Mitt Romney attacked Trump continually in public speeches. The Bushes represent open borders, globalism and alliances with liberals. The big dollar PAC’s attacking Trump with negative ads were primarily supported by Bush and Romney donors.
5. THE BLIND - There are some people unfamiliar with the political scene who think the open borders, pro Muslim globalists actually represent their interests. They are confused when they hear people say they are “principled conservatives” and that Trump is a liberal or reality show host or that Trump will ruin America. The Trump is a racist and Trump is a hater theme has been repeated continually. Some people have believed it.
I think all of these groups would prefer a Clinton victory to a Trump victory.
As I’ve posted before;
What Republican politicians and pundits fail to realize is that just as THEY were the reason for the “tea party,” so too are THEY the reason for Trump.
I just got back to the house and read this. On the drive I heard Breitbart radio with lots of Cruzlim callers. In sum, their feelings are hurt. They were demanding Trump apologize. There’d be a real benefit to that in that it would end their rear guard action. But I really have to wonder, apologize for what? Winning? We have to beat the democrats, what else matters, hurt feelings, or not?
Four years from now, a new lefty SCOTUS with 30 years of headroom, $6 trillion more in debt, 30 million amnestied, tax rates over 50%, no 2a anymore, a new 1a with religion taken out, planned parenthood with a cabinet post? What can’t they see?
I so deeply loath these scumbags; but I’m secure in the knowledge that ultimately their treason will be for naught and America will beat them.
Good for David
GWB was weak on borders {just American borders} and he expanded federal intervention in education "No child left behind" with the murderer from Taxachewsits, expanded medicade, didn't go after the chemical weapons {which every one knew were sent to Syria}, didn't stop Iran from developing nukes {he should have bombed the shit out of Iran}, and now won't support Trump.
Horowitz is laying down his marker, he is now backing Trump, and guys like Rush and his brother better get the message.
I've already cut my 28+year listening and spending with Rush and just last week bought into Laura365 and it's only $50/year. She is really good and replaces Rush very easily.
BYE, BYE RUSH!!
Kristol’s face would have a more pleasant expression if he had just eaten an ACTUAL sh*t sandwich.
Most of the ‘Never Trumpers’ will vote for Hillary.
How Bernie Sanders has changed the Democratic Party
MJ Lee

Morgantown, West Virginia (CNN)The math is against Bernie Sanders in his fight for the White House. But the Vermont senator is poised to leave behind a durable legacy: A generation of liberal voters enthralled by his populist message — and a Democratic Party whose ideological center has shifted left during the 2016 election.
The effort now is to make sure things stay that way.
Sanders has vowed to take his campaign to the Democratic convention, but he’s also signaled that his effort is now more of a movement than a competitive political machine. He’s slashed staff and slowed down his breakneck pace of campaigning.

On the trail, his core issues like income equality and campaign finance reform still loom large, but the senator has taken to reflecting on the arc of his campaign. He frequently reminds his followers that their revolution began as an unlikely campaign that the media and the political class outright dismissed.
“When we began this campaign, nobody really thought it would go very far because many of the pundits were saying who in America supports the idea of a political revolution?” Sanders said at a campaign rally in Morgantown Thursday night. West Virginia and Nebraska vote Tuesday night.
As Hillary Clinton stands on the cusp of clinching her party’s nomination and facing off against Donald Trump, even Democrats supporting her say Sanders has permanently changed the political landscape. He’s introduced new ideas that have become fixtures in Democratic debates — like his signature proposal for free college — and raised expectations of the party’s liberal base.

Former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, who endorsed Clinton but has also publicly praised Sanders’ role in the Democratic primary, said the senator’s campaign has pulled both the party and Clinton in a more liberal direction.
