Politico calls THAT “Backlash”?

Just more wishful thinking by one more Dem-Liberal outlet. The GOP troops are filing front and center for Trump. That’s bad news for whomever their loser-candidate is.

[NRA facing member backlash over Trump endorsement]

This is Politico don’t forget. At the convention when there were 80,000 applauding the endorsement, Politico found 3 guys who were not happy, just so they could say, “not everyone is happy with the endorsement””. Usual liberal media trick.

Actually it’s always good to know what the enemy is up to, and posting their crap is keeping them close enough to know them.

Maybe some symbol with a known FR indicator as to what the symbol means relative to leftist propaganda. Whatever works, but knowing them, and what they are up to so we can counter their Bravo Sierra is important.

A few years ago, the NRA had the convention in Pittsburgh and it was a hoot. Like minded people, locked and loaded and very polite.

There is no way that many NRA members are going to revolt against Trump. There are always a few loony tunes in any group of 5+ Million people, but 99% will get behind Trump.

Piss on the other billkristolasslovers.

This type of article should make it plain to anyone
paying the least bit of attention what we are up against.
The media are the paid mouthpieces of the liberal left
democrats.

Always remember there is no depth too low for a
socialist to sink in furtherance of their agenda.

RE Backlash:
Not from me, nor any other NRA brother or sister that I have spoken with.

We ALL know what lies on the other side of the aisle.

Just his being a whiny bitch loser and breaking his pledge to support the nominee.
There’s a reason he’s called Lying Ted and he got slaughtered by a non politician in the primaries.

LOL! Saying the Cruz wing is starting to resemble a cult is a great example of the pot calling the kettle black! Seeing as the Trumpers buy whatever spews out of Trumps mouth, even when he says the complete opposite shortly after, doesn’t inspire much confidence in the discernment abilities of “the Donald’s” followers.

They have adopted the leftist style of journalism. They try to take an overwhelmingly positive moment and find anything to say that’s negative, to blunt the impact. So, the left ran stories like “Yes, the economy rebounded under Reagan, but we found one woman who was left behind.”
Old trick of the left, now being used by so-called conservative outlets.
I note that many leftist tactics are now being used by so-called conservatives, like Kagan and Kristol using the “fascist” crap.

I know, right? The news has been full of stories and interviews of Ted just a-whining since he suspended his campaign! Sad.

breaking his pledge to support the nominee.

Has he actually done that or has he just not gotten on the Trump train fast enough to suit you?

There’s a reason he’s called Lying Ted

I know. A) many lies were told against him and became the narrative before the "truth could get its boots on" and B) its a catchy, easily remembered little moniker favored by your candidate so his adherents and others don't have to think too much.

he got slaughtered by a non politician in the primaries.

Since Ted is such an abysmal candidate who's so easily "slaughtered by a non politician", why are so many of you folks still layin' into him with the name-calling, half-truths and snide inferences?

Relax! Your guy is winning and will be the nominee, OK? Enjoy it, bask in the warm orange glow and own it!

What backlash?!

Are there any NRA members wo prefer Hillary, who most certainly wants to basically abolish the 2nd Amendment?
