For 91 or whatever, this grand old dame is still sharp as a tack.
I salute you, Mrs. Schlafly.
Trump operates on a level way above what we are used to. People criticize and hate - because they don’t understand.
Don’t know if you saw this;

No
GOPe and FOX in meltdown as we speak
Mitt Romney’s convention. It still makes me want to punch a wall.
This article is total nonsense. The GOPe has totally lost control of the primary campaign. There will be a clear winner either Trump or Cruz and its looking like Trump. The GOPe will hop on board with whoever the winner is and we will all proceed from there. That’s what spineless Quisling’s do. They go along and try to get along.
Holy sh*t
Did anyone actually read the article? It centers around Ryan and the GOPe, who seriously dont get it when their own front runners and base are disgusted with them. They hope for a SC firewall like in 2000, but its the opposite from back then. The media had tried to select the GOP candidate in McCain and the party and base had to fight them off.
I read that and my jaw dropped. How completely out of tune with the voters do you have to be to suggest that Ryan would be a candidate acceptable to frustrated Cruz and Trump supporters? Surely the GOPe couldn't possibly be that tone-deaf...oh, yeah. Yeb Bush. Yeah, they could.
But Ryan isn't Eisenhower by a very long shot. And this isn't 1952, when such deals could be made in smoky rooms with no one the wiser. And despite the histrionics currently in vogue around here, it's Cruz or Trump, swinging toward the latter but it's still only January. But it is very, blindingly clear that it isn't going to be Ryan. Or Kasich, or Christie, or my Uncle Jim, who is polling roughly equal to the lot of them at the moment. You've never heard of Uncle Jim? My point exactly.
I have hope for my man Yeb, though. As his campaign director I have personally delivered him every delegate from states beginning with the letters "E" and "J". I'm working on "X" now. I'm holding out for an ambassadorship to Bhutan.
I guarantee that there will be blood in the streets if they try this.
Who knew Mrs. Schlafly was a patriot?
What's not to like after that? Conservatism will then be irrelevant.
And that would be one of - if not the - final nails in the coffin of the GOP. I wouldn’t vote for Paul Ryan for dog catcher.
As Republicans prepare to cast their first presidential ballots in Iowa and New Hampshire, the field remains dominated by “outsider” candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, while establishment favorites Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, John Kasich and Marco Rubio have been unable to advance to the finals. Will the Republican kingmakers and consultants who picked every nominee since Reagan step aside to let the grassroots, also known as the “base,” work its will this year? >>> and yes the nominee will be yeb
He will likely try to make the nomination decided entirely by the delegates, allow delegates to cast their votes independently of what the voters want, hire college kids off the streets to be the delegates for Yeb/Rube-o, and intimidate/kidnap/kill any Trump/Cruz delegates.
We must be prepared to fight, because Paul Raqqan will not let a conservative win the nomination unless he is forced to.
My father had her book “Choice Not An Echo” prominently displayed in our living room 50 years ago. About the same time Reagan began running for governor.
disheartened grassroots voters to stay home and tempting an aggrieved candidate to mount a third party or independent presidential campaign.They better be careful what they wish for. They will be blown away at how YUUGE that independent/third party would be too. I hope they don't think it will be just Republicans headed for a third/independent party.
Several FReepers could learn from this.
If their hatred would allow them to accept the facts and not the hyperbole
The Wall Street Cartel that rules the GOP would rather have a Hillary Clinton presidency than Donald Trump. Wall Street has Hillary in their back pocket. The Donald, not so much.
