Donald Trump announced his intentions to run for President on June 16th, 2015; one hundred days ago.
Wow, what a hundred days it has been.
In the past 100 days we have found out that virtually every espoused position of the conservative media was a total ruse. The Salem Media group primarily among them.
Red State (Eric Erickson) now finds himself proclaiming that Jeb Bush is the most conservative governor hes ever known. Web sites like Twitchy, Hot Air, Human Events, Michelle Malkin and National Review suddenly singing the praises of a Jeb Bush they formerly said was just another GOP establishment sell out.
Jeb goes from RINO villain to GOP hero faster than you can say Donald Trump.
Conservative punditry like George Will, Charles Krauthammer, Stephen Hayes, Charles Lane, Rich Lowry, Jonah Goldberg and many more opining on all media a previously hidden open borders position. All of a sudden they are telling us walls will never work, illegal aliens are the bedrock of the U.S. social fabric and its profoundly unfair to even contemplate their deportation. Oh, the humanity.
Thats a serious dose of sunlight upon a previously hidden agenda.
Wow, what a ride.
McConnell and BoehnerOn the legislative side John Boehner and Mitch McConnell have worked earnestly to insure Obamacare is never removed, the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal (Fast Track) is structured to insure passage -and destruction of the middle class- with 51 yea votes; and providing Iran with nuclear weapons is similarly fast-tracked using the same legislative threshold.
Who would have thought?
Oh yeah, but dont expect them to use reconciliation (51 votes) for the Federal budget; nope, NO BUDGET preferring instead to retain the formerly Democrat process of Continuing Resolutions (CR) to fund the government.
The 2016 fiscal year begins in five days and with full control of the House and Senate the Republicans instead choose to skip a budget and use a CR. Thats a gobsmacking reversal of positions they formerly railed against as they requested electoral support.
The GOP claimed the 2014 Mid-Terms hung on the tenuous position: if only they were given control of both chambers of Congress they would stop this deficit usurpation. So we gave it, and what? Oh yeah, they did the exact opposite.
Senators, and Presidential Candidates, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz both voting to allow the destruction of the Middle Class (Trade Deal) and offering up 40% of the global production to Wall Street and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce hell bent on outsourcing. Voting on other stuff in the Senate, nah . no biggie.
Wow, who knew?
In the past 100 days the curtain of Fox News has been pulled back to showcase the underlying progressive agenda, and even CNN appears more honest by comparison.
The architects of the Mississippi race-baiting ads (and paying Dems for votes in the primary), scuttled off to join Team Scott Walker and Team Rick Perry in their respective presidential bids only to go down in flames after their candidates came out in favor of the above GOPe agenda writ large. DUH !
And now we watch eight of the remaining candidates working collectively to deliver Jeb Bush:
Carly Fiorina, Marco Rubio, Mike Huckabee, Chris Christie, Jim Gilmore, George Pataki, John Kasich and Lindsey Graham
all supporting Common Core, Comprehensive Immigration Reform including a pathway to citizenship, expansion of Medicare, the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal and retention of various forms of ObamaCare. What a jaw-dropping shift in publicly proclaimed views from before June 16th.
Unreal.
Florida, Ohio, Colorado, North Carolina, Virginia, Washington State, and God-only-knows who else, all desperately scrambling to adjust their primary calendars and GOP state party rules to benefit a similar progressive outcome the coronation of Jeb Bush.
AND in each and every instance we are seeing the real ideology, intents and motives, that laid hidden just below the surface.
Well, that is, hidden prior to the entry of candidate Donald Trump who has single-handedly pulled back the covers and laid bare their deception. Topped off yesterday with the U.S. Speaker of the House John Boehner bailing out just before the explosion of an awakened electorate upon them.
Stunning, just STUNNING.
My, oh my. If Donald Trump can accomplish all of this in just 100 days of a candidacy just imagine what this glorious bastard will reveal in 100 days of a presidency?
Also see this post at Conservative Treehouse from 100 days ago:

This article is THE BEST!
Trump has fundamentally changed the elections.
Tradition is being tossed out the window, now the super pac monies are being viewed as bribe money, money to influence devisions later on.
And Trump has exposed it all, why of all the nerve, running for POTUS and refuses bribe money?
Refuses to be paid?
He is literally volunteering to be POTUS.
AND HE WILL WIN BECAUSEBOF ALL OF THAT.
Ping!
Unlike Megyn, Sundance does “good” journalism.
Thanks for ping. More good information
This article sums up many - most of my feelings about all this. We have such a corrupt, entrenched and established lying quisling so-called conservative apparatus that was and is hell-bent on protecting the status quo of Republican GOPe surrender it isn’t funny. All that has been turned on its head and we are just now finding out just how corrupt all these Sunday pundits, columnists and bloggers are when it comes to their traditional bread and butter.
Trump isn’t my first choice by any means - Cruz is. But I loudly applaud him for setting these bastards back on their heels and unleashing their invective, rancor and bias so we ALL can see what they really are.
As far as I’m concerned, I hope he effects the destruction of the whole damned party establishment and their media ghouls. We should never, ever listen to these people again. Ever.
Yes he has and who knows what he will uncover in the next 100 days.
What he reveals in his first hundred days and what he accomplishes are two different things.
These next 30 days are the most critical for Trump. I am a bit worried. He is holding strong but they have unleashed one hell of a barrage against the man, and he has withstood it all. The man is strong as hell and I believe the only man who can save this country at this moment. He deserves the gratitude of the entire country. That said, they are wearing him a bit and there has been a dip in his polling. If he survives the next 30 days and seizes on the momentum of his economic plan he will have clinched this thing.
The debate in October should be easy. Economics. And all Trump has to say is the Cruz, Rubio and Paul are in the Senate and part of the issue. No offense to Ted, he’s been a stalwart but sometimes you need to do what you need to do. Carly’s HP record is indefensible and should be constantly hammered. Jeb? Trump turns to him and tells him his brother added $6T to the deficit. More of the same with Jeb. God protect Trump. Trump 2016!!
Why would anyone put black type on a red background?
I refuse to abuse my eyes.
He can’t have anything to say that is worth the eye strain.
My, oh my. If Donald Trump can accomplish all of this in just 100 days of a candidacy just imagine what this glorious bastard will reveal in 100 days of a presidency?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I intend to find out. So do 35 million fellow Americans.
I started out as a Cruz supporter too. 100 days ago I paid no attention to Trump at all.
After all the hoopla started about Trump I read his books and now I support him as well.
At this point I don’t know who I will end up voting for but I am loving what Trump is doing.
If he were to give out his ideas, the other candidates would have their platforms...(there are just some people who don't understand how to fight a fight)
I'm not worried...yes these 30 days are important, but Trump has faced far more worse things than Karl Rove’s ‘Hummingbird’ whatever it is....is crap...
I have looked around, read other sites, talked to ‘real’ people in government that I personally know, and they are telling me there is no way that Trump will loose unless the ‘dead files’ or ‘illigal immigrants driver licenses’ will over load for bush or shillary...(I personally don't think bush could stand up to shillary) and I can't stand that witch...
This article is great!!
Keep it up folks. The sunlight has the cockroaches running for cover that is not as easy to find.
Fox News can kiss my ass as well as the list of “conservative thinkers” for whom us real conservatives have been nothing more than useful idiots.
I’m tired of being on the losing team but I’m pissed off now that I know for sure that our team captians have been taking a dive on every single match we were in.
I hope every conservative reading this article feels used like a cheap whore.
Hey ruling class we are coming for you and soon.
I see it and I still don’t believe it..( except I do!)
God bless Donald Trump!
I believe God has heard our prayers!....and this is His answer.
What you say would be true if we had actual debates. But again, it will be a Trump feeding frenzy. Don’t see a way he can skip, but man, if he, Carson, and Cruz would ALL agree to skip and have their own “forum” at the same time, it would crush the regular GOPe debate.
