Michele Bachmann: I'm advising Trump on foreign policy
The Hill ^ | 8/21/2016 | Caitlin Yilek

Tea Party firebrand Michele Bachmann says she is advising Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on foreign policy.

The former Minnesota House representative attended a fundraiser in the state for Trump on Saturday, where she revealed to the press that she has his ear on foreign policy.

“He also recognizes there is a threat around the world, not just here in Minnesota, of radical Islam,” she said, according to MPR. “I wish our President Obama also understood the threat of radical Islam and took it seriously.”

“He’s a common-sense guy, not into political correctness,” Bachmann added, according to the Star Tribune.

Bachmann is already part of Trump’s Evangelical Advisory Board, providing “support” to Trump on “issues important to Evangelicals and other people of faith in America.”

Bachmann, who has yet to officially endorse Trump, launched an unsuccessful presidential bid in 2012.

Time to watch the media and democrat viciously attack a woman while crying any attack on Hillary is misogyny.

“Don’t buy the media spin.”

I am much more disappointed in the so-called Freepers who would abandon MB, one of the best in Congress in our lifetime, than I am with the liberal media who have turned several less-than-reliable conservatives here against her.

Good lord... she is FAR more conservative and Constitution-oriented than our nominee. Now its seems like, to some here, having a good conservative on Trump’s side is a liability. Sheesh!

The democrats ridicule all the smart pretty republicans, same as the press; Palin, Bachmann, Hutchinson when younger!

Yep. Says much that people have to step up to defend MB here on freerepublic.com

Perfect illustration of the subliminal power of the mainstream media. The same “conservatives” who continually crap all over Trump in the “conservative” media also targeted Bachmann. Irony.

She and her husband built a “successful” business on ... Tax Return Preparation.

This is an example of how the US economy has gone off the rails, just another example of rent-seekers doing well for themselves doing nothing of value.

I hope he ignores her. She sees Russia bombing Syrian jihadis as a fulfillment of Ezekiel prophesy. She has good points, but she’s kinda a whack job in some ways.

Uh, no.

She didn’t stick up for Palin during Tucson.

Karl Rove was instrumental in every one of her elections to congress.

Boehner protected her by letting only her and McClintock vote (+1 other) against a CR funding Obamacare in ‘13; same exact day that Rand Paul/Ted Cruz did that ridiculous fake filibuster on drones. (Yes that was coordinated cover from Sentate to the House so we wouldn’t see Boehner was funding Obamacare)

She’s a GOPe troll who ran interference against Palin for Mitt Romney in 2011 — before the RoveBushies knew if Palin would run for President or not.

Watch out, Donald Trump.

Bachmann was always a fake Tea Partier. Her long defunct “Tea Party Caucus” was only there to “listen” — never to really act to defund Obamacare or other issues that we voted Congress to do in 2010.

Palin wannabe; Rovebot.

Watch out, Donald Trump.

P.S. To “Volunteer” my previous post got autocorrected from “volunbeer”

No conservative should make a living based on the tax code.

I spend about 1 hour every Thursday afternoon talking with my CPA. He is a close friend and very trusted advisor.

I would suggest that if you are spending an hour a week with your CPA that you yourself are using the various parts of the tax code to reduce your taxes, or, in your words 'making a living based on the tax code'.

BUT, perhaps I'm have wrongly accused you.

You may not be a conservative, and my words don't apply.

You probably enjoyed the segment on Chris Wallace’s program where, while interviewing Mrs. Bachmann, his first question was ‘Are you a flake?’.

Yes she is... I miss her in the House. Why didn’t she run again?

The only thing I have heard about Bachmann was she was always against Barky and for that the IRS drummed up some phony investigation about ‘finance campaign funds’ but never did hear anymore...

well, in some photos, she makes my mouth water...

At the Iowa State Fair in 2011, this was.

Speaking of which, the *Minnesota* State Fair starts this week...

She didn’t run again because Bachmann’s only value to Rove and her other GOPe handlers is to take Palin out by doppleganging her.

Wasn’t she one of the first to warn about the Muslim Brotherhood connections in this regime?

Well .. she has a track record of “back-stabbing” .. so I’d be very careful what you let her know and do.

Karl Rove was instrumental in most elections then. Just the way things worked. However, Bachmann faced far more attacks than just about anyone in congress - in fact, one could correctly say she was completely smeared by the MSM and the GOPe. What does that tell us?
