Falwell: Lewd Trump Tape Part of GOP Coup Against Donald
Breitbart News ^ | 10/10/2016 | Neil W. McAbe

Posted on 10/10/2016 1:03:24 PM PDT by drypowder

The son of the Moral Majority founder and the president of Liberty University told WABC radio host Rita Crosby shortly after Sunday’s presidential debate that Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R.-Wis.) and other Republican leaders used the recently released lewd tape of Donald J. Trump to execute a push against the GOP nominee for president. “I think this whole tape… video tape thing was planned, I think it was timed, I think it might have even been a conspiracy among establishment Republicans who have known about it for weeks and who tried to time it to do the maximum damage to Donald Trump, and I just… I just think it just backfired on them,” said Jerry Fawell Jr., an attorney, who succeeded his father at the helm of the Lynchburg, Virginia college. Monday the speaker told members of the Republican House Conference that he would not campaign with Trump, nor would he defend Trump, according to an NBC News report based on a background conversation with a Ryan spokesman. NBC was the owner of the Access Hollywo0d tape that The Washington Post released Friday revealing the GOP nominee using direct and foul language in reference to courtship and the way women interact with celebrities. Falwell told Cosby he was upset by the tape and how it was received by members of his family, but it did not shake his support for the New York City developer.

This has all the earmarks of a Bush/Romney takedown attempt.
The Cheap Labor Express Republicans have tried everything to stop Trump from giving the voters the ability to stop the illegal alien inundation that they have been enabling for 30 years.

In every election since the last amnesty we have had amnesty vs amnesty elections.
It was not accidental.
This time they got Trumped and they are royally pissed off about it.
They have purposefully been blocking the citizens from doing anything about the flooding of the country with fraudulently documented foreigners.

I think we’re seeing the beginning of the end for the GOP.

As this plays out, there will be two outcomes:

1) The coup succeeds, Trump is defeated, and the conservative base abandons the GOP as it is constituted. As a result, the GOP loses seat after seat, the donors dry up, and the party withers and dies fairly quickly. The tactical win over Trump leads to the strategic destruction of the party.

2) Trump wins, and a damaged GOP survives. Whether it thrives or not depends on whether the base is satisfied with a Trump victory and continues to support the traitors, or whether Trump can remold the party.

Thus the irony of the situation. In order to survive, the Ryan/GOP-e coup must fail. I doubt realizes that. He spent too much time in the tower talking to Sauron.

More like an optimistic coup attempt than anything else or they would have used it in the primary.

Also remember how all of the libs were saying that we Americans were “uptight” while that type of thing was common and “expected” in Europe?

And that it wasn’t getting in the way of Bill’s job, so who cares? Here is Bill Mahar from 1998 going all in for Billy boy:

That was real actual stuff that happened with Clinton!

This is just words on a tape!

Religious folk, like Falwell and his father before him, understand the fallen nature of mankind all too well.

They preach on in week after week and are also reminding the flock that when it comes to sin, we are all in the same corrupt boat!

Pastors also preach on the power of forgiveness along with not being tempted to "cast the first stone," as all of our houses are of glass!

I find the born-again morality of the RNC, some of our so-called top leaders, not to mention those on the left who have been busy banning prayers, school bible study groups, those of us who find killing babies abhorrent, Gay Days at Disney, gay Scout leaders, homosexual unions attempted in all our churches, so-called "transgendered" (which there is no such thing, being ordered by DC in all our girls' bathrooms and locker rooms in public school and all the rest of pornography in our arts and entertainment world, more than a bit hypocritical.

It would be laughable if it didn't turn our stomachs, coming from those who have attempted to shut us down for decades!

The party that most of us call our own, have been ashamed to share the same podiums, dinner tables and inaugural events, as they consider us (socual conservatives) backward and unenlightened - yet NOW they can clearly spot immoral and sinful Donald Trump and demand he be banished from their midst - and they are demanding that I and we be as outraged as they are!!!

Crawl back to the sanctity of your homes and bibles and do a bit of bible study yourself about the woman at the well and thief on the cross!

“I’m not going to reveal it on the air—but I think some of the establishment folks who reluctantly endorsed him had this planned all along as a way to slither out of the endorsement, and I think it backfired on them, and I’m glad to see that.”

:) love how he says they “slithered out of the endorsement” just like satan in the serpent.

Bingo - I’m wondering if THIS is what Yeb! meant several months ago when he said Trump will NOT get elected. He KNEW his nephew Billy had this tape - and conspired with the Witch and Establishment RINOS

Ryan and the rest of these pitiful, mealy-mouthed, loser parasites went with Trump during their primaries and now their true colors are coming out.
They are nothing but political leeches who are more than happy to pad their pockets with our money.

I believe Saturday was the first day Ryan was going to appear with Pence or Trump. It seemed preplanned that Ryan would use this rally to target Trump.

If Trump loses, I think Ryan and the Republicans are going to be surprised how bad turnout will be in 2018.

...be ready to what?

Go to Washington in my truck and be sure to have my power tools with me so I can help to build a large sort of a stage kinda thing, with stairs going up to it and some trap doors built into it... and a heavy, strong wooden beam about 10 feet above it that runs the length of it and is centered over the trap doors?

What would a thing like that be called...

Anyway I'll help build it.

GOP is over.

Trump will get in and re-invent everything.
Or Trump won’t get in and the GOP will never win another race.

But the GOP is over.

the establishment would love nothing more than to totally discourage the Republican electorate to not turn out. That would be a cheap win for the establishment ruling elite and their boot licking servants in DC.

That’s a whole lot of trouble that could be handled by lampposts.

I'm thinking that the Republicans already threw away the US Senate, and HOR members better step far away from the coup attempt. This isn't new.....our disgust but with no action after they stole the primary for Cochran taught them NOTHING.

Senator Portman must be feeling pretty smug about his lead. He had the nerve to un-endorse Trump and say he'd vote for Pence. This is the same guy who got the ball rolling on gay marriage "out of compassion for his gay son".

What's my point? This is a coup attempt we're in the middle of. There's only a handful of US Senators worth saving. Trump will be better off establishing a new coalition in the US Senate without the backstabbers. They disgust me.

Well, there’s an obvious Bush connection, and the Bushes were among the first out with their condemnations. Were these statements prepared ahead of time? Methinks so.

I think this is nonsense. I understand the sentiment although it would have been released much earlier if it were the GOP.
