Low Information’ Conservatives Reject GOP Establishment Consultant Rick Wilson
breitbart.com ^ | 8/16/15 | Robert Wilde

Posted on 08/16/2015 6:57:36 AM PDT by cotton1706

Grassroots conservatives expressed disgust toward GOP establishment, consulting class operative Rick Wilson for his remark that Americans who support Donald Trump are “low information supporters.”

Conservative radio callers swamped the phone lines of Breitbart News Saturday, hosted by Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon. They also expressed disdain for Willson’s snobbish arrogance and insults cast toward the conservative base throughout his CNN appearance on Friday with Breitbart’s Editor-in-Chief Alexander Marlow.

During the CNN broadcast OutFront with host Kate Bolduan, Wilson admitted that he yearns for Jeb Bush to start “posting up” and to stop “trying to draft behind Donald Trump and hope that he collapses and his low-information supporters run into your arms.”

Moreover, Wilson went into full attack mode against Breitbart News, throwing interference for establishment Republicans by smearing the website, comparing it to Russian propaganda news outlet “Pravda.”

The angry Wilson appeared out of control and kept repeating himself: “I get that you guys are all in–I get that Alex. I get that you guys are all in on Trump. Alex, I get it. I get that you guys are all in on Trump. I get it. I understand that–I understand that.”

Trump has upended all of their plans. He stepped on Jeb's announcement (the great moderate hope) and has been stepping on him since.

But of course. This is the mentality the GOPe has against conservatives all the time. No doubt that Jeb bathed in Purell hand sanitizer after mingling with the slack-jawed Iowans the other day.

Nothing gets people to like you as well as insulting them and their intelligence. I’m getting all warm and fuzzy thinking about Jeb!. Thank you, Rick Head Wilson

¡Yeb! was supposed to be the Designated Loser.

Don’t you people know that you’re supposed to get in line and vote for the candidate that the party has decided on?

Jeb will fail miserably, showing himself to be the weakest Bush and worthy of ridicule for years.

“He just couldn't get it up...”

Thing is, if Trump loses Breitbart will still be around, but if Trump wins Wilson won’t.

David Brooks from the NYT has also been calling Trump voters ‘low-information voters’. Brooks is from the Trilateral Commission. That should give you an idea of how high this low-information voter meme goes.

This GOPe ass hat Wilson essentially goes around calling a large number of conservatives stupid, just as the majority of the GOPe does on a daily basis. So just to clarify... in the demented view of the self-appointed GOP elites, pissing off the majority of your potential voting base is deemed “intelligent”? Brilliant.

Go suck an egg Rick, I hopr ya choke on yer bile. The more you hate Trump for spoiling your plans, Rick, the more I like him and hope he sticks around. Trump doesn’t treat voters like garbage.

Oooooh. Low information Conservatives. That's a good one, Rick.

You are a witty one, Rick. You come up with that one all by yourself, Rick?

What else, Rick? You got half your brain tied behind your back just to make it fair, Rick?

You America's anchorman, Rick? The Doctor of Democracy, Rick?

Can we call you El Rickbo?

I am wondering, seriously, if both Karl Rove and Rick Wilson are on the payroll of George Soros?

I would not be at all surprised to learn that they are.

I get it now,,yes the GOPe doesn’t care if they pizz off the base. They just want to collect the campaign dollars and keep business as usual in DC. GOPe would be perfectly fine with another Dem president.

That’s why they are PO’d that were actually fighting for the Presidency.

GOPe just wants the money and plans on continuing their cozy friendships with the Dems.

That’s just my take.

I guess the “big tent” GOPe isn’t all that “big tent” when it comes to the base of the party.

all of these political consultants are making a big mistake when they refer to trumps supporters as low information voters there are a good percentage that are but I bet you that Jeb bush has higher percentage of voters that are low info voters. the place that Donald trump actually gets his strength of support are with the supporters that look at who is pushing the candidate and who is not. what theses backroom political dealers are failing to realize is that the public with the advent of the internet usually have a good idea of what they are up to,. Donald Trumps Support is a reaction to all of this. The fastest way to kill Donald Trumps Candidacy for President is to not repeat a debate fiasco like the one forced on us by fox.

In 2008 the GOPe nominated McCain and told Palin to cool it on criticizing Obama. They knew Obama was going to win, probably even wanted it (some people say that’s why they elected McCain over Romney). They knew that if Obama won they could elect whomever they wanted in 2016.

Trump is messing up their nearly decade long plan.

Mr. Wilson says I'm too uninformed to have an opinion.
I'm embarrassed to know myself.
