The American People vs. the Political Establishment
Redstate ^ | 1/22/16 | Caleb Howe

Posted on 01/22/2016 6:20:09 AM PST by TBBT

On Fox News on Thursday, host Megyn Kelly had several guests on to discuss Donald Trump in light of the new "Against Trump" issue of National Review. Radio and Television host and long-time tea party star Dana Loesch was among the many panelists.

In the coming days, National Review will have their own conservative credibility questioned. Along the same lines, Loesch was asked about the conservative and, more specifically, tea party cred, and whether The Donald has any. In her answers, Loesch candidly and passionately made her case that he has none at all.

"I didn't stand out, I didn't phone bank, and I didn't go door to door, for an increased mandate for ethanol. I didn't do it for eminent domain," said Loesch, referring to the inception of the tea party movement. "I feel as though a lot of this has turned into popularity over principle."

From there, Loesch really opened up in her criticism, citing specific policy issues, and frankly shredded Trump over his long history of anti-conserative views and his total lack of record standing up for conservative values.

Remember. Trumpites don't care if he's a conservative, liberal, or a martian.

They want a populist strong man.

Mob rule...

I’m tired of politicians pushing us around. It’s time for the AMERICAN PEOPLE to take back their government and run it themselves. That was the intent of the Founding Fathers.

Wow!

Talk about your “jumping the Shark” moment!

I ditched that mag years ago (over illegal immigration) but I’m sure that this decision is SO bad for SO MANY REASONS it may just put a stake through its own heart.

How is it possible to make such an executive decision? They must be the ultimate RINOified RINOstification of the RINO syndrome.

Death by RINOcide.

WTF has she ever done anything for save a paid gig on Fox? Ethanol and Kelo - r u frigging kidding? We’ve had Obama for 8 years and OMG but Kelo? Please. Your house is on fire. Your kids are in the house. But you’re getting your Babe Ruth autographed baseball? The NRO crowd thinks they’re smarter than everyone but they aren’t smarter than anyone. Rich Lowry? Erick Erickson? NRO wanted to get a Trump issue out to sell copies like Franken put Rush Limbaugh in his book title.

It may be mob rule, but most of Trumps mob probably don’t vote. I have to agree with Dana. Trump may be popular, but doesn’t and hasn’t consistently maintain conservative principles and values. It’s easy to embrace his popular one liners and crowd rallying to make America great again, but how? What exactly does he intend to do? We went down the path of hope and promises without substance for the last 8 years.

They love the personality. Absolutely no reason to trust DT.
I thought liberals were the group who loved personality more than principles. Of course 75-85% of conservatives see through DT.

None of those people pictured have campaigned to stop the illegal invasion and bring jobs back to our country. Not one.

They are no more “conservative” than, say, Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, and John McCain.

This stupid “unite against Trump” stunt is going to hurt a whole lot of so-called “conservative” pundits. Hurt them real bad.

It started out as the ‘silent majority’ and then it went into the ‘loud majority’ and now it's a ‘large movement’ of American Voters...

WE the people are tired of sending Republicans to do OUR work, and see them get back there and fall in line with the democrats because they are called the ‘spineless sissies’...

This time: “WE the American Voters” have taken over this election, the GOPe; RINO base; media; and anyone else that stands in the way of this tremendous movement we have going to support Trump had better move aside, your threats, your demeaning ‘tone’, your lies, are not working...WE are running THIS election...Independents, Republicans who are fed up, Democrats, Tea Party people, Black Community, Latinos, all of us, people who haven't voted for a long, long time, are out in force to support the one person who can turn this around, you see the massive crowds at the rallies, the long lines of people waiting hours in snow, rain, cold and heat to hear Trump, you don't see this with other candidates, and by the way, they will come out to vote, so quit with that ‘lie’ right there...

The Trump Supporters and Trump is here to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

R U kidding? Trump’s personality is a total turn off. He is a pompous braggart and a holier-than-thou Yankee blowhard. But he destroys PC like a hot knife thru butter. So he has my thanks and my vote.

These anti-Trump peckerwoods are afraid that President Trump may build that wall, might enforce immigration law's and fix at least one huge problem facing the USA. They are afraid he might get 'er done.

Ignore them, Trump is going to win. There is no stopping him. So they are getting desperate.

WTF did your REPUBLICAN Congress do but support and fund EVERY effing thing Obama wanted for the last 8 effing years? And what about that disaster known as George W. Bush who spent trillions of dollars we don’t have and killed and maimed thousands of American soldiers in a useless war that accomplished NOTHING?

It isn’t Trump supporters who are effing stupid it’s these so-called “conservatives” who keep buying the bulls*** fed to them by the Ruling Class Uni-Party elites and casting their votes for LOSERS.

We’ve had enough of it and we ain’t gonna take this crap anymore.

TBBT and libbylu are full time agitators on this forum. They appear to have little else to do with their time than to find any and all negative articles about Trump. One might think they work for a campaign, the GOPe or the Democrats.

They want a bull in a china shop. Problem is, bulls have no discretion. Eventually that bull will smash pieces of china that they hold very dear.

What exactly does he intend to do?

He spelled it all out in his book, "The Art of the Deal"

He wants to make deals. We gotta have deals. Deals, deals, deals.

Make America Great Again so that we are the best deal-makers in the entire world.

Meanwhile, our national integrity and our basic rights according to natural law get lost in the shuffle.

Why? Because no one will be paying attention.
