Echo chamber hurts Democrats
FTA:
...
The Intercept reported, “There Is No Grassroots Energy Rallying for Brett Kavanaugh. None.”
So Democrats decided to go all-in on the crazy in a last-ditch effort to stop Kavanaugh, figuring he had no supporters to lose, and everythingto gain.
Thus, Democrats rolled out Professor Ford and her accusation. They hoped to delay the confirmation until they controlled the Senate when they would suspend all judicial nomination votes until a Democrat became president again.
After all, the echo chamber of the Washington media told them Kavanaugh had no grassroots support.
The echo chamber also told them “Kavanaugh has become a symbol of anti-Trump resistance.”
Yep. Right alongside Stormy Daniels.
The problem with Washington is the Democrats tell the reporters what to write, which the reporters do, and then Democrats react to their own stories. It is like a party of crazy cat ladies walking down the street muttering to themselves.
Anyone who disagrees with them is ignorant, as well as racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic – Islamophobic – you name it, the whole basket of deplorables.
When you view your opposition as Hitler and the Nazis, you are unrestrained by social norms and decency. You can dox senators. You can threaten their children. You can shoot congressmen.
Many people see the Democratic Party’s embrace of violence and indecency as reminiscent of 1968.
I caution them. Hubert Humphreys should have won in a landslide. The economy was great. Johnson’s civil rights acts were popular. Goldwater was crushed in 1964 because he opposed civil rights.
But Democrats let the kooky rioters take over the country. Nixon stood for law and order, and won the day.
A half century later, Democrats are taking to the streets. Every night on the news there is some loud protest. The topic changes, but the anger is always the same. The people are always ugly both in behavior and attire. Democrats think this helps them. Maybe it does, but I see 1968 as a terrible year for Democrats.
Blithely dismissing nearly half the country costs a party at the polls.
No one in the Washington media’s echo chamber is smart enough to say knock it off.
Also, no one in the press challenges Democrats to defend their goofball ideas.
...
Finally, Democrats continue to, in Dubya’s words, misunderestimate President Trump.
You would think that Dubya taught them. You would think that the Republican nomination taught them. You would think that the 2016 election taught them.
But, no, here they are still ridiculing a man who has handed them their ass every day since he entered politics on June 16, 2015.
One month ago, Bob Woodward rolled out a book that depicted the Trump White House as chaotic and on the verge of a nervous breakdown. It was the third such book so far this year.
But if the man is so erratic and so incompetent, why is the economy doing so well and Kim Jong Un giving up his nukes?
Democrats need to understand that just because the Washington press does not make a big deal about President Trump’s enormous successes does not mean voters ignore it, too.
Oh, this is so good.

The Party of Trump Wins Street Brawl
Wayne Allyn Root
As I write this column, the GOP has won the most brutal political battle in history. Brett Kavanaugh has been confirmed to the Supreme Court. President Trump wins again.
Here are the lessons and winners of this epic, historic battle.
First, America always does the right thing…but only after exhausting every other option.
Second, the biggest winner is President Trump. Notch another victory on his belt. The score after about 21 months in office is Trump 100, Democrats 0. Against all odds, Trump just keeps winning.
Remember this week Trump also won the Mexico-Canada trade battle; unemployment dropped to the lowest level since 1969; Hispanic unemployment dropped to the lowest ever; manufacturing jobs growth was the best since 1995; and Trump’s approval rating soared to 51% at Rasmussen. Polls show Republicans pulling away in Senate races across the country. Add in the Kavanaugh victory and this was the best week of the Trump presidency.
Trump continues to teach us all lessons about #WINNING. In Trump’s world, it’s all about the fight and your fighting spirit. It’s all about your ability to bare-knuckles brawl.
This battle for the Supreme Court played out exactly like my upcoming book, “TRUMP RULES.” My book isn’t about politics. It’s about the rules that have empowered President Trump to become one of the greatest achievers and winners in history. The “Trump Rules” are simple. Winning isn’t about brains, or IQ, or brilliant ideas, or unique strategy.
Winning is all about being a relentless fighter. Being a bulldog. Being a bull in a china shop. It’s about fighting spirit. It’s about believing in yourself and your goals. It’s about fighting so hard, so passionately, you never let go until victory is achieved.
It’s about who wants it more. Trump always wants it more.
That’s what Trump is all about- the fight. Sure, you get bruised and battered and slandered. Sure, it hurts. But anything worth having, is worth fighting for.
Trump proved it in the 2016 election. He was attacked, denigrated, slandered, humiliated more than any politician in world history. But he never backed down. Instead he doubled down. He came right back at his critics. Winston Churchill said, “When you find yourself in hell, just keep going.” Trump just kept going…and fighting.
And after being called all those bad names, and all that slander, for the rest of all-time, he’s called “President Donald J. Trump.” Was it worth it? You bet it was.
Churchill also said, “Never, never, never, ever give up, or give in.” That rule is more important than anything else. It’s the reason Trump keeps getting his brains beat in and yet always comes out ahead. He’s bloody, dizzy, staggering, but his arms are raised in victory. You can’t beat Trump, because you can’t outlast Trump.
The other big winner was Brett Kavanaugh. The vicious, soulless, American left tried to destroy him, ruin him, eviscerate him. They never imagined a wimpy, middle-aged, judge from Yale had it in him to fight back like a no-holds-barred, street brawler. But Kavanaugh studied Trump, he learned from Trump.
All his brilliance, eloquence and fancy Yale education didn’t win the Supreme Court for Kavanaugh. He had to take off the suit, get down in the mud and fight for it. For the first time in history, we witnessed a judge fight like a no-holds-barred, bare-knuckles brawler. Like Trump.
Kavanaugh channeled the “Trump Rules.” If you want something in life you’ve got to fight for it. Just as Trump proved, once you’re on the other side of the battle, with your hands raised, it was all worth it. The ugliness, lies and slander are all forgotten. All that matters is they call you, “Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.”
The final winner was the entire GOP. Republicans have always been the party of wimps, cowards and “nice guys who finish last.” Trump changed all that.
This isn’t your father’s GOP. This is the party of Trump. The GOP has gone from a party of guys wearing green pants with a yellow shirt, going golfing at the country club with Muffie and Chip, to a party of brawlers, head-bangers and New York street fighters.
Now Mitch McConnell, Chuck Grassley, Lindsey Graham and even (gulp) Susan Collins are all bar-room brawlers. They’ve all clearly learned from Trump.
Heck, even our judges are willing to get in the ring and go 12 rounds! Everything has changed because of the “Trump Rules.”
I’m from the streets of New York. This is my kind of political party! Thank Goodness this is now Trump’s Party.
