Were 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 Trumps 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, lets just tell the truth: Approximately 98 percent of the professional politicians, pundits, and consultants embroiled in the conversation over Trumps comments about Kelly, in which he may or may not have said that her tough questions at Thursdays 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 Trumps statements? (snip)
While the GOP bickers over a journalists reproductive system, the mullahs build their bomb. The weekend is over, its time to get back to business, and business includes stopping the worst international agreement since Munich.

This article is spot on in substance.
It’s not a “pro trump” article as much as it is an indictment of the entire Washington political machine — pols, staffers, and pundits alike.
Thanks for posting it.
But its creating such a great distraction.
From thehill.com
Trumps support increased by 7 points to 32 percent, according to this weeks Morning Consult tracking poll.
The real estate moguls closest rival Jeb Bush lost a point, dipping to 11 percent of the vote among self-identified Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.
Support for all other candidates was in the single-digits
Read it and weep sucker. :-)
When I read None Dare Call It Treason in 1964-65, it was so startling that I read it slowly over several weeks. To me it seemed that America as we knew it could not last but a few more years. Mountains of evidence and quotations made the facts undeniable. It changed my life.
Thinking recently upon the date of its writing, it occurred to me that author John A. Stormer wrote this momentous book 50 years ago. Tribute needs to be paid here to this stalwart patriot who is now quite advanced in age. His efforts to awaken America should be recognized, appreciated, examined, and heeded by all, even at this late date.
LOL...
Bump!
Pointing out the incontrovertible fact that Trump is a liberal means nothing to the Trump faithful They would happily elect a liberal because in spite of his long liberal record, he is saying things they want to hear during an election cycle.
LOL
Trump is beating them all by a wide margin! 32% , Jebina is at 11% 2nd place !
and this is even after the hit by megyn kelly and the constant media attack since then!
Go Trump!
Damage control from NR. They have been leading the charge against Trump.
Why fall for it when we have Cruz we can pull for?
Rush pretty much did open the show today with the Cecil the lion saga.
