Musings on the GOPe going so hard on Trump (VANITY)
Self | 12/24/2015 | self

Posted on 12/24/2015 8:39:26 PM PST by Marie

All right. So we're all losing our minds over George Will, Jonah Goldberg, Bill Kristol, and all the rest hammering Trump harder than they're hammering Hillary and insulting their own base.

Could this be a brilliant strategy to whip up the conservative base, infuriate them, to actually *get* them to stand strong behind their candidate?

I mean, really. When have we *ever* seen the conservative talking heads and bloggers behave this way as a group?

Just a thought.

If this *is* a political ploy, it's working beautifully.

Marie, you are much too kindhearted.

These people are the trainers, who’ve kept us under the GOP lash.

We’ve gotten loose.

They’re trying to lasso us back in.

Slip the noose, Marie. These people mean us no good thing.

It’s an interesting thought, that they are applying reverse psychology.

But I don’t think so. I don’t think they’re that smart. They also don’t want change - they want everything the liberals want and Trump will ruin that for them. They are also so hateful and truly angry that I don’t think they’re faking it.

The conservative base was infuriated long before this election cycle.

George Will, Jonah Goldberg, Bill Kristol, and all the rest are not conservative. They are establishment uniparty hacks whose sole purpose is to sell loser establishement candidates and take down conservative ones on behalf of super PAC donors representing special interests running counter to the interest of the American people.

Never. They don’t work this hard against Democrats.

What we have discovered is that they all work for The Cheap Labor Express. They are Democrats in R jerseys.

No. These Jackasses are cocktail party establishment parasites who live off this republicrat capitulation. They co-opt conservationism and tell you that it means invading countries on false pretenses so they can make money there. They pander to illegal aliens and destroy our sovereignty so they can make money there. It is all about their Brown stone in Virginia and their Lexus. But hereis what I want— I want Trump to destroy their little villages and salt their fields so they will never reemerge. EVER.

You’re giving these people way more credit for intelligence than they deserve. The simplest scenario is that these folks are joined at the hip with the GOPe and can’t stand for an outsider to crash “their” party.

See! Right there!

That’s how *I* feel! I want to raid their villages, slay the men, keep their armor as a trophy, and sell their women to ISIS.

I have never been this pissed. And NEVER this pissed at the people on ‘my side’. Even Thomas Sowell (bless his heart - I’d like to feed it to him).

It’s that anger that’s stripping away my fear of Hillary and motivating me to march with Trump into battle. 25+ years of holding my nose for the greater good and political philosophy has gone out the door - all because of these clowns.

It’s just too perfect.

If this is a mass psychological game of chess that’s being played, it’s really brilliant.

If this is really an honest revolt, then history is being made right now.

I was too young to pay attention in '79, but I can imagine the GOPer pundits behaving as badly against Reagan as they are now against Trump.

Michael Medved has been bashing Cruz more than Trump, but he’s been giving Trump plenty of flak.

I don't think they're that smart.

Ryan was one who proved that this week by letting Pelosi and Obama run rings around him to get the budge deal. Even Pelosi was shocked that the Dems/Obama got nearly everything they wanted and that Ryan folded so quickly and easily.

No. The Pubbies have never been accused of being the Party of Smarts, but they have been accused of being the Party of Stupid.

A party that gave us Juan McLame and Mittens Romney? The party that gave us Sarah Palin, then hung her out to dry? The party that has repeatedly clutched defeat from the jaws of victory?

I remember watching Juan in a debate with Zero. I don't remember the question, but I remember my reaction to it. It was like when I played softball and that sweet pitch comes in, your eyes go wide, time slows down, you get the self satisfied smile and schlong the he** out of it.

EXCEPT, McLame stopped and walked away.

I remember it vividly...
because I was yelling at the TV...
And I knew right there that it was over and that we were sold a bill of goods.

We got a majority in office and we got Boehner, who just bent over and let the dems have their way. When we finally did get rid of him, we got Ryan (Romney's running mate) who just recently crumbled to the dems. They have the backing of the people in the party, they just refuse to stand on conservative principals.

They have repeatedly demonstrated that they don't respect the people.

McLame himself calls the Tea Party extremists and nut jobs.

Let's be clear, the GOPe EXPECT US to get in line with them. They have no interest in what we want. Both Cruz and Trump are bucking the GOPe. The polls show that the people are overwhelmingly against business as usual, the GOPe just doubles down on Bush or others like him.

Yup. You removed all doubt.

They really are too stupid to pull something like this off and way to immoral to want to.

“If this is really an honest revolt, then history is being made right now.”

When in the Course of human events,

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

HOORAY Trump
