The problem with the Left, is they can’t ever just say, “we won” and go home. We went from gay marriage to; nice bakery you got here. You bake the gay wedding cake or we put you out of business. We have trans “women” who just wanted to be accepted for “who we are” and now that they are accepted, they are attacking lesbians because lesbians won’t “date” them.

No matter how far left we go, it won’t ever be far enough. Society made a huge mistake giving that first inch.

Pretty much true. I’d say about 20% of the R party is onboard with MAGA, maybe another 20-30% are go-along-to-get-along types who will support whatever seems to be in vogue, and that leaves about half of the GOP which is the RINO traditionalists who are hoping Trump leaves soon so they can get back to the old ways (reach-across, collegial, you scratch mine, etc).

Time will tell which group will win. But many unplayed cards still in the deck will favor Trump’s side. The other side? All they can do is resist and wait and hope. Pretty weak.

In “Rules for Radicals” Saul Alinsky wrote that radicals should try to look respectable and avoid saying what they intend to do when they gain power because it would frighten the voters. 0bama is an Alinsky-trained leftist and he is trying to remind the radicals to keep their mouths shut. But, the radicals are the “have nots” for good reason. They are insane and that does not bring prosperity without theft or other wrong doing.

It's not that socialism fails every time you try it. The only people he blames for this state of affairs is American voters. Americans just aren't quite progressive enough. They're not up for being "transformed," as Obama used to say.

Years ago I knew a young community organizer (they're almost always commies) who was perplexed the only people he could persuade were college kids from wealthy families... His whole appeal at the time was for 'workers' but he couldn't pull in even one electrician, factory worker, day laborer, or one middle class wage earner. Only upper class kids with daddy issues...

Leftists care about their own power and nothing but their own power. People sense that...it's why they can't fill auditoriums and have to use voter fraud to elect their thugs.

The radical left does not care if they lose in 2020, as long as they wind up in complete control of the Democrat Party, and its funding.

If there is a train wreck coming, it’s not being evidenced by last nite’s LA election or VA’s election.

This will not be an overnight process. There are people who have been democrat their whole lives, and certain demographic groups for whom voting anything but democrat is a mortal sin. However, the changes are already occurring. 10-20 years ago,it would have been absolutely unthinkable for anyone to switch from dem to not-dem, especially publicly, because being dem has had almost a religious attachment to it for these people. Now, it has happened to a number of extremely high profile people. To me, that says something big is coming.

Good. It’s only fitting that the brainwashed automatons they created turn on them. The only operating system they’ve had installed in them is hate. Try to take that away and what do they have to live for? It’s like trying to take that Pit Bull you’ve trained to be a cold-hearted killer kill and turn him into a Westie. Good luck with that, Barry.

The children of self-made wealthy men are very often very average in actual ability. They know they would not be successful on their own merits. This drives them crazy.

I have a picture of a guy stretched out behind a tripod with his rifle mounted. The photo is taken from behind and the guy is wearing a tee shirt that says on the back: ‘When all else fails, Vote from the Rooftop’

Just further evidence that Big Mike will be the nominee. This is BO putting on a false front for the general election, where Big Mike will be presented as a non-political, revered icon who is above criticism and who will unite the country. It is all nonsense, yes, because BM would finish BO’s destruction of America.

But it eliminates all the losers presently running, and allows BM to run without having taken the risks involved in actually running in the primaries.

Obama was by far the best snake oil salesman for the demoncraps all time

The problem for Obama is he had to govern And we got to saw that he didn’t really want the actual job

He played golf mostly and had lots. Of parties and vacations

The only real things to remember are Obamacare ( which was merely teddy kennedys wish list dating back to the 70 s ). That go no Republicans support

And Benghazi. Which will live in infamy

And of course the IRAN deal. Where he coddled them and gave them billions

The I don’t mind is that like Billy Jeff Clinton he was a very smart politician and was able to constantly read Paul’s and put his finger in the air and put out statements that at least 51% of people would agree with

Look at his stance on “gay marriage” which change dramatically from when he was a candidate in 2006 until he finished his last term in 2016

I still remember hearing his speeches and they were very flowery very effusive very motivating and very eloquent none of that could be denied but again will anybody ever remember any statement from any of those speeches like “tear down this wall Mr. Gorbachev”

In a word. no

So now Barry comes out and tries to carefully warn the party that the Elizabeth Warren’s and the Bernie Sanders of the world are going to be the death of them and he’s absolutely 100% correct on this

Fortunately for those of us that love America and believe in her founding and believe in the principles of God and life and liberty , we could not have a better friend than our current and wonderful president Donald J Trump -because he is forcing the Democrats to show their true colors!

Just remember we still have another 4 to 6 months of democrat primary’s

In all likelihood despite all commonsense their probably going to push your head and impeach our great President on no crime

This will seriously galvanize his ardent supporters and bring many many people over to his side because they will be embarrassed to be a democrat anymore

that is what has to happen with Democrats is their party hast to embarrass them enough to leave

More popcorn please!

Successful con men know when to pull in the reins or the con goes sour. The radicals don’t know it’s a con. They see it as finally reaching a critical mass that really will destroy the country and they’re pushing for all they’re worth. They only have to be right once.

I found his speeches to be very compelling. Warm and fill of humour. It’s just that everything he said was lie after lie.

I can see how unaware people listening to him would like it.

I knew a Democrat who said that listening to W’s speeches would turn his stomach. I didn’t really understand that then, but I do now after listening to Obama and the other Democrats for years. It’s all a question of what people hold as their truths, and the Democrats have marched though society and firmly instilled their truths into people for decades, through schools and universities. Today, if you don’t hold to their truths, you are ostracized, fired, and sometimes jailed.

Each lefty Democrat (like Obama) thinks the hungry lions and tigers will eat them last.

Some lessons need to be learned the hard way.

The ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia could not have violated the Constitution without the assistance of the GOP.

Even here on the most conservative website there are many who will not uphold the Constitution because it might hurt the feelings of the children of foreign nationals that they are not natural born citizens.

Because there's a regression to the mean in IQ and natural leadership ability, children of wealthy 'elites' are also often very average...

Which is fine - except 'elites' push these kids into political positions waaay above their ability - - and harm the country. The Kennedy family is a prime example - killers, rapists, irresponsible narcissists etc. Same with the Gore and Cuomo families...

So, presumably at some point in the future america will be ready for our society to be torn down?

I got the same thing from that statement plus wondered when Americans will be so incredibly dumbed down and brainwash/indoctrinated they would accept this tearing down of our country.

If Trump hadn't been elected I believe we would already be well on our way there now.
