Fox News contributor Tucker Carlson appeared on America’s Newsroom on Wednesday to speak to host Martha MacCallum about what would happen if — as even House Speaker Paul Ryan is refusing to rule out — the Republican Party does not accept Donald Trump as its nominee this summer in Cleveland.
Carlson singled out RedState for attacking Trump’s voters as “diseased” and “probably on Oxycontin” or “secretly liberal,” but insisted that such talk is inherently counterproductive.
“He is on track to receive more votes than any Republican nominee ever,” Carlson began. “He’s already surpassed Mitt Romney’s number in 2012.”
He was quick to note that that “doesn’t mean that he’ll be a great president — it does mean that he is the choice of Republican voters and give them the finger at your peril.”
Carlson — who became famous in part for being the hyper-literate bow-tie aficionado on CNN’s Crossfire — said that the party must “pay attention to the people” and not to the opinions of “donors and think-tank intellectuals.”
“The core of his campaign is his economic message — ‘I’m gonna bring jobs back’ — and it’s baffling to me why the Republican establishment in Washington doesn’t understand that,” he said.

the base? in my book, calling true conservatives the “base” of the gop is an insult. they have zero real representation in the political actions of the gop, even the usual lip service is absent at this point.
She now hosts a dreadful radio show.
No big . . . Tyler Collins flipped off the entire fans at Comerica and nothing happened to him . . . other than being sent back down to the minors.

Seems like common sense but GOPe and DC are so deep into inside the beltway garbage, it’s blind.
Way to go Tucker!
They don’t do that to me anymore.
I found a color picture of an OBASTARD 10 dollar bill on the net, printed it out then made about two reams worth of copies.
I would send them about 100 dollars in OBASTARD bills every time they sent a solicitation.
Well as long as idiots keep reelecting these traitors, they will have their jobs won’t they; why the hell should they care about us LOW CLASS WORKING STIFFS.
Were just here to give them our vote and donate to their campaigns, aren’t we?.

BtW, I’m laughing at them, not you.
Yep. I heard it a couple of times.
Had to turn it off. Unlistenable.
Excellent comment.
“Real” Conservatives and RINOs are both getting schooled by “the Donald” on nationalism, patriotism and populism. Those used to be the cornerstones of conservatism until the “movement” was hijacked by the NWO globalist cable.

You got that right. Now that Trump has dared speak the words “America First” expect utter hysteria. Within a week I expect National Review and Weekly Standard smears and “recollections” about the old “America First” organization.
National Review and Weekly Standard?
Didn’t they both flush themselves down the credibility crapper six weeks ago?
