Attacks against Trump backfire on the conspiracy of dunces
The New York Post ^ | June 4, 2016 | Michael Goodwin

Are President Obama, Hillary Clinton and violent leftists in cahoots to elect Donald Trump? Or are they just idiots?

The evidence is overwhelming that they all belong to a conspiracy — either of secret GOP sympathizers or of dunces. Those are the only options after Democrats took turns denouncing Trump in ways that actually bolstered the potency of his arguments. Three examples tell the tale.

First, Obama traveled to Indiana to deliver what aides called his first attempt to influence the election. That’s a lie, of course, but not the biggest one of the day. No. 1 would be Obama’s touting the economy as a roaring success.

“If what you care about in this election is your pocketbook; if what you’re concerned about is who will look out for the interests of working people and grow the middle class,” the president claimed, “if what you’re concerned about is the economy, then the debate is not even close.”

He crowed about “progress” made during his tenure, and said sticking with Democrats was the only sensible option.

Two days later, the Labor Department reported that employers added a mere 38,000 jobs in May, the worst report in six years....

I daresay neither one has an IQ above 110.

I’d be willing to bet I could sell a signed first edition of Confederacy of Dunces to Obama.

Second backfire was

“...Clinton provided the second backfire example with her ­foreign-policy speech. It had very little to do with actual foreign policy, and everything to do with a rehearsed rant on Trump. She called him reckless, childish, uninformed and unprepared. ...”

And the third was

“...The third evidence of a conspiracy involved a Trump rally in San Jose, Calif. Or rather, it ­involved the thugs, gang members and people burning the American flag and waving Mexican flags who attacked Trump supporters.

And this is the capper:

“...The pattern is obvious — the Democrats’ Way is in trouble. The economy won’t cooperate with their big-government nostrums, Clinton is dodging Bernie Sanders and the FBI, and Obama doesn’t understand why the world doesn’t treat his every ­utterance as gospel.

Maybe they should take a hint. Maybe, finally, America has had enough. ...”

Speaking of dunces, Pocohontas is calling Trump a “proven failure in business”.

I wish I could fail like he has lol! She’s really not very bright.

Well, Ignatius Reilly was a community organizer: “Campaign for Moorish Dignity”

I’d buy a signed manuscript, if one exists.

Yes we have...with the uni-party, Barky, the EO’s, all of it...

When Trump came along a year ago, he was a breath of fresh air...we listened to each of the candidates spout their uni-party crap, and decided if we wanted our Country back, Trump was the answer...we all got behind him, and we will get him over the next hurdle to beat The Butcher of Benghazi..and Make America Great Again...

The clinton/obama/Kerry foreign policy:

Started four wars!

Lost four wars! (I’m glad they lost the one in Egypt, aren’t you?)

Unleashed HORDES of muslim barbarians on Europe, and are trying to bring them to the USA too! Meanwhile, Christians in the Middle East are being driven to extinction!

Put Iran on track to deploy nuclear weapons, and to conquer most of Iraq!

Put the USA on track to war with Russia, perhaps even before obama leaves office!!!

Which would you rather have—Hillary’s “sensible” foreign policy, or Trump’s “erratic” (?!!) one?

He’s worthy of a signed first edition. It was published well after the author died. Heh heh heh...

By now people should be asking themselves if there is more to the story that explains Trump's invincibility than just his critics’ stupidity.

I often wonder if the three combined have an IQ that high.

“Genocide” is a word we must never use. It might expand our vocabulary to the word “Treason”.

Billions of dollars and millions of bones.

38,000 sounds like a lot of jobs to some people, but when they announce that number, they should also announce the number of people who entered the job market....College and high school graduates, people coming off of disability, etc...that would show how miserable that the job situation is.
