TOP GOP STRATEGIST RUNS TO POLITICO, SMEARS TRUMP VOTERS AS ‘CLOWNS’
Breitbart ^ | 7/22/2015 | John Nolte

Posted on 07/22/2015 7:49:00 PM PDT by gwgn02

While Republican frontrunner Donald Trump gleefully attacks members of the GOP Establishment and media, the GOP Establishment seem to believe it’s a good idea to run to the mainstream media and attack Republican voters.

First Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)43% ran to the Left-wing New Yorker to attack 15,000 GOP base voters as “crazies.” Wednesday, the GOP Establishment went even further.

Rick Wilson, a top Establishment Republican message and media strategist ran to Politico to attack Trump’s supporters as “clowns.”

According to the most recent national poll, Trump is garnering support from 25% of the GOP base. Which means that a top Establishment strategist believes it is a smart strategy to smear 25% of the GOP’s most loyal voters as “clowns“:

The circus is almost over.

My advice to Trump fans?

Don’t be the last clown out of the tent.

Brilliant.

Keep in mind that this is the same GOP Establishment privately and publicly lecturing Trump about “tone.”

Let me run this down for you…

McCain is calling Republican voters “crazies,” a top GOP strategist is trashing 25% of the GOP base as “clowns,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)47% is calling Trump a “jackass,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)80% is saying Trump has “no class,” Rick Perry is declaring Trump a “circus sideshow” … but it is Trump being lectured by The Establishment to watch his tone.

Personally, I’ll vote for Jeb Bush before I vote for Donald Trump. But that doesn’t mean I can’t see that the Republican Party is making a gigantic, hypocritical ass of itself. That, however, I can live with.

I’d rather have a root canal before pulling the lever for an open borders shill pushing Common Core on to future generations.

“This just begs for clown suits and a rally!”

Which would only legitimize their insults.

They work for us and should answer to us. We set the performance standards for them. They do not set them for us.

Don’t play the fool.

I, for one, don’t want Trump to “tone it down.”

As I mentioned in my post, I hope Trump ramps it up should he be elected president. The rats and the GOPe need to be called out....it’s long overdue.

FOX Radio claimed that Trump “promised to tone it down” if he is elected president. I don’t know where FOX gets their information, then again, we have to remember that FOX is GOPe, so I’m sure they’re all in for Juan Ellis Bush.

White elites are NOT nice people... and they’re the people calling us these names. We need to start calling them names back... I know it sounds petting but it’s ‘game theory’ sound.

let states decide.
We’ve got more important things to spend money on than putting people in prison for growing and partaking in something proven less dangerous than alcohol.

The war on drugs has been a colossal failure so far. It’s time to start fighting it a different way.

I am also for choking off the southern border, but any one who believes that will slow the flow of drugs into this country is delusional.

It’s simple capitalism that’s the answer. Supply and Demand.

Amen!

If you get demand under control, supply dries up.

If we don't put people in prison for partaking, how do we get demand under control?

In Utah, it’s Mormons. They will keep re-electing Hatch even after he’s passed on!

Lighten up! I thought it would be thumbing the proverbial clown nose at them. They are (limply, I might add) trying to pull that Alinsky crap, again.

Tedious...

Enough quailing at the mention of their garbage--throw it back at them and make a mockery of it, and them.

"We're the 'clowns' you work for, but we're not laughing."

Besides, what other outfit gives the wearer all the latitude they need to thwart facial recognition software? (and some people find clown freaky and intimidating, too)

Make sure we allow opportunities, and other activities that provide an alternative to drugs.
Popular culture in the 60’s brought drugs into power.
The only way to take them out is the same way.
The only way to change popular culture is to refocus the country on morals, ethics, and God.
It’s not going to be a quick fix, but we’ve wasted 40 years, and billions of dollars on the other way and it hasn’t worked.
This method will at least cost less.
It’s a generational problem, like government dependency, and it will take more that 1 generation to fix.

I agree 110%.
