Enough with the Trump Outrage

We’re days away from Congress failing to block a deal that will exponentially increase the chances of a nuclear flash over Tel Aviv or New York, and all conservatives could talk about for the past 72 hours was Donald Trump’s insult of Megyn Kelly, an insult that caused firebrand pundit Erick Erickson to lapse into Dean of Students mode to ensure that his Red State Gathering was a Safe Space — safe from the current GOP frontrunner.

And we wonder why people are deeply alienated from politics? First, let’s just tell the truth: Approximately 98 percent of the professional politicians, pundits, and consultants embroiled in the conversation over Trump’s comments about Kelly, in which he may or may not have said that her tough questions at Thursday’s GOP debate were due to menstruation, are most assuredly not “offended” or “outraged” by his words. Quite the opposite: In the political world, there is something like an electric shock of glee that passes through the community when someone says something “outrageous.” Controversy is energizing. Consultants, candidates, and pundits immediately begin working the angles — how can they exploit the latest gaffe, the latest misstatement, the latest offense against decency to advance their candidate or their cause? Outrage is a tool, the means to accomplish the ends of personal and political advancement.

Does anyone seriously think that Erick Erickson — a blunt-speaking radio host and pundit last seen urging his supporters to mail fake testicles to John Boehner ... is offended by Trump’s statements? (snip)

While the GOP bickers over a journalist’s reproductive system, the mullahs build their bomb. The weekend is over, it’s time to get back to business, and “business” includes stopping the worst international agreement since Munich.

LOL...are you sure you want to go with this post?

1. Trump is one of the big daddy donors.
2. I guess Ted Cruz never stood up against McConnell...must have been Trump in the Senate Chamber then.
3. Fighting is one thing, but the constant bickering and demanding apologies is another. He was better when fighting against illegals rather than his incessant whining about Fox.
4. Again, I guess Cruz never mentioned anything about it.
5. Which other candidates are owned by China? Proof? AGain, I guess Cruz hasn’t mentioned it either.
6. Is successful...I guess none of the others are successful...just Trump. How, exactly, is he going to deal with China and Mexico...WITHOUT talking points.
7. So, because he is successful in business, he will automatically make the economy better? Really? Is this the best you can do?
8. Yes, politicians are corrupt...and guess who bought them by his own admission?
9. Politicians have done nothing Conservative...I guess Trump has? You mean like evolving on the 2nd Amendment? Single Payer health care? Eminent domain, etc?
10. Carson is a career politician? Carly? Really? Which offices have they held?
11. The only one TALKING against Mexico...ooo, talking. Talk, talk, talk. What about Cuba?

I trust Trump because he's not a career politician.

I don't trust Trump because he is a liberal.

That's just 2 examples.

If its examples you want...

10 things that prove Donald Trump is a liberal.

1. He has been a liberal Democrat most of his adult life, registering as a Republican as recently as 2009.

2. He has contributed generously to some of the most far left democrats in politics including Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Charles Schumer (D-NY), Terry McAuliffe (D-VA) Anthony Weiner (D-NY), Ted Kennedy (D-MA), Harry Reid (D-NV), Governor Ed Rendell (D-PA), California state attorney general Kamala Harris (D-CA), Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel (D-IL), and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

3. Trump is a crony capitalist, explaining his large contributions to democrats as a necessary tool to conducting business. He apparently believes buying the votes of politicians is an acceptable way of doing business.

4. Trump supported the ban on "assault weapons", even though there is no such thing. Far left anti-gun democrats wanted to ban gun ownership completely. Unable to accomplish that goal they created the term "assault weapon" and applied their own definition for the term so they could ban guns based solely on cosmetic appearances. Trump both fell for the scheme and supported the ban.

5. As recently as 2013 Trump praised former NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg for "Putting his money where his mouth is" in trying to take guns from law-abiding citizens. Michael Bloomberg has spent tens of millions in his quest to disarm America. And Donald Trump praised him for it.

6. Trump has been pro-abortion until which time he flirted with running for president. He now claims he no longer is. Believe his campaign rhetoric if you will, but his history says otherwise.

7. While he may claim to be an opponent of Obamacare, Trump is an advocate of single-payer socialized healthcare similar to what is in place in Canada. Yes, Trump supports the worst version of socialized healthcare. He has said, "The Canadian plan also helps Canadians live longer and healthier than America. We need, as a nation, to reexamine the single-payer plan, as many individual states are doing. While we work out details of a new single-payer plan, there are a number of ways to make the health care system now in place work more efficiently,"

8. Trump believes in using the eminent domain laws for the taking of private property from US citizens for his personal gain. He proved this when he tried exploiting such laws to take elderly widow Vera Coking's property so he could build a parking lot for limousines. Fortunately, the widow prevailed. He also said he supported the United States Supreme Court's Kelo decision which resulted in the taking of private land from a private party so Pfizer Pharmaceuticals. That family lost their land and to date nothing has been built on it.

9. Trump has said the economy does better under democrat control (we're $18 trillion in debt and climbing thanks to the dems). He also said George W. Bush was the worst president this country has ever had. Worse than the lying rapist Bill Clinton? In the mind of Donald Trump, that answer is apparently YES.

10. Donald Trump is now a registered Republican. But in an interview with CNN's Wolfe Blitzer, Trump said, "I probably identify more as a democrat." His record above lends credence to that comment.

Summed up, while Donald Trump may be saying and doing things that appeal to conservatives, he is a lifelong liberal democrat who only now claims to be conservative. That considered, he is just like any other liberal in that he cannot be trusted.

You and megyn Kelly and the liberal media are on the same side against us and Trump. Have you no shame?

I’ve never seen anything like Trump in politics . No one ever has.

He stands up to the media, the GOPe, democrat party, rich donors,politicians, the establishment, China , Mexico, illegals etc. .All the others hadn’t before said anything against these and still don’t against China or Mexico the media etc. Trump calls them all out.

This is some phenomenon.

Trump seems to be one in a billion . I’ve never seen anything like this. Amazing to me many on this forum instead of uniting behind him seek to attack Trump.

Finally one guy shows us how to fight. He’s like Braveheart. And what do some on here do start bashing him. he’s fighting the media , the GOPe, the democrat party, China, Mexico, illegals all our enemies. If we don’t unite and support him all of these especially the media will destroy him and then we’ll go back to the decline

We are in seriously perilous times. the socialists took over the media 100 years ago and with that they’ve pummeled America and us and freedom for a hundred years. Now they’ve got us close to extinction. Freedom is one inch away from going out forever. One man a real leader finally arrives and shows us how to fight. and what do we do bash Trump

We have to unite and fight like our lives depended on it because these people the leftists like megyn kelly want us destroyed and America destroyed and they have been importing leftist immigrants for a long time to invade and destroy America and our freedom.
