Quick Note – It’s Not the “Base” Opposing Donald Trump
Conservative Treehouse ^ | May 6, 2016 | Sundance

Posted on 05/06/2016 5:53:01 PM PDT by detective

Just want to point out something simple, yet seemingly getting lost in the chatter.

It is not the “conservative base”, the grassroots or the average Joe or Jane from Main Street USA who are currently digging in their opposition to Donald Trump. The base, the middle class, is entirely behind Trump.

One of the big lies being spread through the media is that the opposition to Trump is people who are true to conservative principles. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

The opposition to Trump is not from the base or from people of principle.

It is from slimy, corrupt insiders like Lindsey Graham. It is from open borders advocates. It is from Washington globalists and neocons.

It’s also from the fanatic religionists whose stranglehold on the party is now officially broken. They’re not happy they don’t get to plunge the country into yet another round of the same old culture war that lets the Democrats win time and time again.

And as to those GOPe losers that plan to boycot the convention, why would they think they are wanted there in the first place?

They’re possibly the biggest reason America has sent Trump there.

“First, Our Resources Are Overextended
Secondly, our allies are not paying their fair share.
Thirdly, our friends are beginning to think they can’t depend on us.
Fourth, our rivals no longer respect us.
Finally, America no longer has a clear understanding of our foreign policy goals.

This will change when I am president.
First, we need a long-term plan to halt the spread and reach of radical Islam.
Secondly, we have to rebuild our military and our economy.
Finally, we must develop a foreign policy based on American interests.”

“I will view the world through the clear lens of American interests.

I will be America’s greatest defender and most loyal champion. We will not apologize for becoming successful again, but will instead embrace the unique heritage that makes us who we are.

The world is most peaceful, and most prosperous, when America is strongest.

America will continually play the role of peacemaker.

We will always help to save lives and, indeed, humanity itself. But to play that role, we must make America strong again.

We must make America respected again. And we must make America great again.

If we do that, perhaps this century can be the most peaceful and prosperous the world has ever known. Thank you.”

it’s the lifetime GOP people. People who are so-called Republicans FIRST and being American and Conservative is a distant concept.

They are everywhere...mostly they or their wives work for or owe their allegience to the GOP in some form of Government.

In other words, the enemy in our midst. They have always been there. They opposed Reagan.

The political elite who want a one world government FROM BOTH PARTIES refuse to get behind Trump. They want America dissolved into a melting pot of non- patriots so that wealth will be distrubuted(mostly to them) and the rest of us will just fade into oblivion with Europe and other socialist societies with 2 classes-rich and poor. The political elite will parasitize us like huge leaches, sucking the blood money out of us while they take their huge cut and spread a little here and there to assuage their tiny consciences.
You WILL pay a huge global tax courtesy of Ryan, the Bushes, the Obamatollah, Hillarita Clintonista and the rest of the ploitically elite who lie, cheat, swindle and murder their way through life.

Good point. And hasn't it been a joy to realize so many Americans have not been cowed? Just out there biding their time, justifiable rage in check, keeping their powder dry. When the glass rod snaps it snaps so fast, as we saw with Reagan and the Berlin Wall. Behind the bravado the Dems are as desperate as Any Honecker. Check out this sissyboy and ask yourself, what kind of American wants to support Hillary?

This is what a male Hillary supporter looks like.

It’s the false conservative politicians like Ryan who have been screwing real conservatives every election with their lies and fake conflicts with the democrats.

To them the conservative voters are like the blacks are to the democrats.

They each try to keep their own groups on the plantation with their lies and maybe a meatless bone now and then when election season rolls around.

There are still those who do not give up their Conservative Principles so Easy.

Face it, Donald is mainly a NY Liberal, to some (including me), still.

BUT, the fight is over.

Let’s Rock & Roll, win this thing!

All I've seen thus far is die-hard Cruz supporters, who apparently would rather see the U.S. turn into a Communist dictatorship before they'd vote for anyone but Cruz, and the one-world Establishment types that are refusing to vote for Trump.

Just saw a group on another site swearing they will write in Ted Cruz before they vote Trump. Frankly, in the general election, every vote for Cruz is a vote for Hillary.

The oppositional forces are the entrenched political class, the establishment, the elites and those who financially benefit from the DC status quo. This group includes the professional punditry and chattering class who associate with the DC confabs.

Voices, who assign divergent attributes are entirely gaslighting their audience. Believe your own eyes and break the cycle of Battered Conservative Syndrome.

Republicans have controlled the House for 18 out of the last 22 years and didn’t do a damn thing to defund the leftist agenda or impeach corrupt judges.

"It’s also from the fanatic religionists whose stranglehold on the party is now officially broken."

You're wrong about that, those religionists don't control squat. They're a hand picked group that puts up a front for one segment of the population just like from time to time they have a "designated outsider" they let raise a little Hell to placate another segment of the population.

IOW, it's all theater, otherwise there would have never been the routine dropping of initiatives that would make a difference in favor of initiatives that make a lot of noise and trigger loud reactions from the left.

I figure Bernie is pretty much the same thing, someone the democrat party can count on who plays the full Socialist line of crap so the democrat party can say, "If you think Hillary is bad, look what these kids want to foist on us. We have to unite and get out the vote to back Hillary."

It's a long running, very refined, propaganda game the media runs for both parties, not just the fascist democrat party. Read some history, we're right where Rome was a hundred years prior to Caesar with all sorts of electronic media rather than several thousand paid rumor spreaders working the crowds, restaurants, and bars, no behalf of the ruling elite in the Roman Senate.
