'Every time you turn around, he's said something new. It's impossible for us to keep up,' one GOP lawmaker complains.
Donald Trump’s combative anti-terrorism speech Monday flouted the typical post-tragedy script and left Republican insiders fretting that the business mogul is unprepared to play a crucial presidential role: national healer.

Trump has already seized on the single most important issue separating American Conservatives from all other shades of opinion. He puts "America & the Americans," first. No one can read the Constitution in context, starting with the very clear Preamble, and find any higher Conservative priority.
Trump is focused on what is right for America & Americans. Any organizational functionary who does not understand that; or does not understand that that is where we must all focus in a crisis, should be given only mundane chores: Taking mail to a mail box; collecting mail from a mailbox; sweeping the floors, etc., or the like. Under no circumstances should the person without understanding of the basics, be holding press conferences, or commenting on what they do not understand.
Remember just a week ago Hillary was supposedly delivered her Major Foreign Policy speech, all hailed by leftists and major media?
Comparing that diatribe to Trump’s speech.
Compare the reaction of that vs. Trump’s speech (the base vs. establishment).
He’s done more just as a candidate than those pukes have since they were elected. We don’t need a national healer, we need a leader...a warrior that stands up for the American people and for what’s right.
These clowns are a frickin’ joke.
Did bill kristol write it? LOL! I see, no. Other politico hacks in fear of their station in the gopE maybe? His stance on the terror situation will surely turn people to.....gary johnson? WHAT? LOL! Oh yeah. And let’s get rid of them evil AR-16 while we’re at it.
i hate the GOP. i’ve been a republican my entire life. i’ve held my nose and voted for RINOs more times than i can count. after i submit my CO primary ballot, i’m done with this party of losers. i’m re-registering as an independent. i grew up with Reagan and truly believed that conservatives had a home in the GOP. it was a lie. the GOP is the stupid party and since i’m not stupid, i don’t belong there. i feel no obligation to help elect quislings anymore.
I thought his response was right on the money...
Basically if they are at war with us, we are at war with them- whether our pussy-in-chief wants to say so or not.
I hope on DAY 1 he orders complete bombing of known isis locations, and does not stop.
The Republican Establishment and their lackeys will never change. Mr. Trump should have gone Independent from the beginning.
“Do we need a “national healer” in the Oval Office?”
Yes. And not a day before. until that day, his sole job is to win the White House. And it is the GOP’s job to make sure he does. Any deviation from that script and it is hello President Cankles.
They are fretting for sure...Trump is not beholding to them. He can say whatever the hell he wants!
This was not a tragedy. A tragedy is multiple people being killed by a hurricane. This hideous massacre was an atrocity, just like the Nazis murdering millions of Jews and homosexuals. Indeed, radical Muslims are the new Nazis.
I am not worrying about this at all.
It’s pure propaganda.
There may not even BE a GOP lawmaker they’re anonymously quoting, but rather they made it all up.
Every “point” the so-called anonymous GOP congress person is a tried and true liberal, left-wing democrat talking point.
It’s worthless. At least if this was printed on paper you could use it to wrap up a fish or as bird-cage liner, but it’s just electronic bits. Waste of electricity.
Incidentally, Politico is part of the Washington Post, who Trump banned yesterday.
Think about it.
And to those who demand names,
My guess would be Linda, most likely.
In some ways it’s a positive article. The self-serving sobbing of the GOPe is almost palpable, their retirement yachts and Cape Cod compounds are disappearing in their minds’ eye like mist. They’re trying to strike a balance between whining about “tone” ;) and admitting obvious facts now that their nose is rubbed in it. Both sides of their mouths are canceling each other out, leaving them rhetorical eunuchs whose mincing and pearl-clutching overbalances them to the effeminate, and old effeminate men with an agenda are trodden underfoot unseen during crisis; people want strength.
On the dark side: the bumbling bear assumes a different and malevolent aspect when his honeypot is taken away, I fully expect quislings to fall into midnight war councils and handshake agreements with Hillary/DNC, who has far more to lose...leadership of the socialist unfree world, if I may be so bold.
I said sometime yesterday, Trump rides with Victory, I trust his Patton instincts and his close-knit staff, the Prime Directive must be his personal security. Unhinged minds are in play, and Trump’s security is the nation’s security. Vigilance and prayers up.
Yes. Labeling it as a tragedy
sets the stage for diffusing
blame and redirects the reaction
from anger to mourning. It’s what
happened after 9/11 but, strangely,
not after Pearl Harbor.
How many threads do I have to go on to tell you people they state-sponsored media is blowing smoke on this Trump speech.
They know the speech has gone viral.
They know its connecting with the American People.
They know it’s nailing the dems to the wall.
Want proof? Just check out The traitor-n-chief last news conference.
I just heard Obama’s tirade/response to Trump. It looks like Obama is also “fretting.” Trump lives rent free in his head. Obama sounded like he was running against Trump for a third term.
Not about to give them the click. Do they name names or is it “GOP representative” and such non-specific designations. Let them come out of the shadows and speak their truth as they see it. Or shut up.
I just love it when people can’t predict what Trump is going to say or do...
Their playbook doesn’t cover this, and they are so busy running in circles, they can’t remember what he said yesterday, let alone keep up with him today...
GO.TRUMP.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!
The GOPe doesn’t understand that this election is about saving our country, not their cushy jobs.
Politico is the go to source for the GOP establishment.
It hates Trump. Anonymous comments are not surprising because the party elite wanted a Designated Loser a la Jeb.
And they’re upset Trump is flouting the approved script.
