Jeff Sessions to GOP: Time to Unite Behind Trump, Beat Hillary
Breitbart ^ | 03/12/16 | Julia Hahn

Posted on 03/13/2016 5:13:14 AM PDT by Enlightened1

MIAMI, FL– Influential Alabama Senator

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), who has emerged as the preeminent thought leader of the conservative nation-state movement, told voters that “now is the time for the GOP” to unite behind Donald Trump’s realignment of the Republican Party, and “embrace this opportunity to win working Americans on a platform of rising wages, American jobs, and the national interest.”

Sessions said that Trump is the only candidate who will be able to stop Obamatrade and enact trade deals that prioritize the interests of the American people. Sessions delivered a clear warning to Ohio voters in particular.

“The TPP will hammer the automobile industry in Ohio and American workers nationwide,” Sessions declared. At Thursday night’s debate, Trump “stood alone in his consistent opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership and foreign currency manipulation,” Sessions said.

Sessions explained that Trump’s “determination to protect American workers from reckless trade and immigration policies will grow the Republican party and position us to win in November.”  Sessions writes:

Hillary Clinton has embraced a radical and extreme open borders agenda that, properly exposed, will make her un-electable. Sessions writes. Combined with Clinton’s praise for the TPP, we are in a prime position to draw millions of new Democrat voters into the Republican Party.  Now is the time for the GOP to embrace this opportunity to win working Americans on a platform of rising wages, American jobs, and the national interest.

Marco is all over the cable media today stating that the early FLA votes are indicating that he is far ahead of Trump. HOW does he know this? Inside info?

I cant watch Fox today. They are all in for Rubio! Always have been.

Sessions would be my preferred running-mate for Trump; so it probably won’t happen.

TPP is one of several reasons Sessions dumped Cruz over board.

When Sessions speaks, serious conservatives listen. Sessions nails it.

Cruz is at last exposed.

He's probably basing it on the NBC/WSJ poll. It had 80 or so "registered independents" included in its numbers, who aren't even eligible to vote in the Republican primary in Florida, and the sample was small from the get-go. Other polls have had Trump dominating confirmed early voters by 44 percent.

it would be a good ticket, but probably won’t happen, Trump will need crossover votes

Trump's other worry in the general election would be getting establishment Republicans to turn out and vote for him. The extreme hardcore of the establishment will probably vote for Hillary (some of the NRO/Weekly Standard staff has said as much), but the rest can be won over by picking a "moderate" mainstream Republican, like Reagan picking Rockefeller Republican Bush in 1980. I hate to say it, but Trump may have to pick one of his current/former opponents as a running mate. Cruz wouldn't work because the establishment hates him almost as much as it hates Trump and his appeal outside of movement conservatism is limited, so the least objectionable of the lot would probably be Kasich (I know, I don't like him either, but I don't loathe him like Bush or Rubio).

If he wants crossover Democrats, I'm not sure who would be the best bet. You would think that somebody like Jim Webb could get blue collar Democrat votes, but Webb barely even registered in pre-primary polls. Other than Webb, are there any semi-sane "Blue Dog" Democrats Trump could pick?

>>Republicans cannot even unite around the concept of FREE SPEECH

We could unite around it, but modern interpretations have changed it into “freedom of expression”, so that dipping a cross in urine, burning a flag, holding “God hates fags” signs at a soldier’s funeral, and physically disrupting a rally become “speech”...

....but throwing the jar of urine in the artist’s face, kicking a flag burner’s butt, knocking down the fag signs, or physically stopping a disruption are a violation of this “freedom of expression”.

Freedom of speech means that you have a right to a soapbox, just like everyone else. But the other guy does not have to provide it, or stop speaking because you are ready to talk.

The First Amendment was made for people who don’t have a suicide pact with stupidity.

Someone should tell Jeff that we’re still in the middle of the primaries.

Sorry, but no. “Mavericks” in the eyes of the GOPee elite Establishment RINOs. They hate both these guys. Which is loathed and despised more by the RINOs is the question.

That is my point, because the Establishment RINOs don't want either of them as nominee for POTUS. Why do you think the GOPee elites are encouraging Kasich and Rubio to say in this fight? They are hoping for a brokered convention.

Who is going to put the brakes on, and on whom? Actually Trump is not the only seeing/wanting America great again. Some useful stock investing advice, I think?

Jeff Sessions is wonderful, but he is 69, the same age as Mr. Trump.

Looking to the future, I hope Mr. Trump selects someone who is much younger, but with the same intellect, wisdom, and integrity, who will carry on the country’s repair/healing and continue the successes of the Trump Administration.
