David Horowitz rarely gets an article on FR these days. Don’t know what he’s been doing. He makes the salient point here but I object to his use of ‘coservative’ here. I’m conservative and I consider Trump more conservative than any of his detractors who I believe have proven to be not conservative by detracting from Trump and proving that they have an ulterior agenda. Rush included. Especially Rush
None of these so called conservatives have credibly claimed a conservative agenda when disparaging Trump. They prefer Cruz or. Like Dana Perino, jeb. These guys are pro amnesty (invasion) and TPP These are not conservative positions
Getting rid of the deficit Stopping amnesty or the invasion through enforcing our laws are conservative positions if conservatism, as defined by Mark Levin, now a Cruz supporter ( never trump pouter), is a way of life by proven principals
“What Republican politicians and pundits fail to realize is that just as THEY were the reason for the “tea party,” so too are THEY the reason for Trump.”
Exactly.
David Horowitz would Come out for Trump I just wish he’d used the term “republican politician” rather than “conservative”. I don’t like being in the same boat with that bill kristol pouter extraordinaire
Too right! In the very recent past folks here were wrongfully slamming Horowitz as a NeverTrumper.
Glad to see he’s slamming the pouting Neo-Con poseurs, like this slimey little Kristol Clown. He doesn’t have the stones to lead a troop of grannies across the street!
Exactly. Well said.
Accepting reality, I will walk barefoot over rough gravel
on election day in November to get to the polls & vote
TRUMP.
I voted Cruz in our primary; though I had many misgivings.
- It is what it is; & it is TRUMP. After this Obama ringer
we’ve had for almost 8 yrs. now & now a retreaded Hitler-y,
TRUMP looks acceptable enough to me.
Good to see David writing positive about Trump.
He gets it.
This article needs to be directed at the Never Trumper’s here on FR. Some have gone off the rails.
I knew Jeb Bush was toast when he came out with JEB!. It was just like HILLARY! eight years ago. He has no originality.
When this primary season started it was the outsiders versus the establishment in both parties. For Bernie it makes sense to continue the fight because he’s still running even on the popular vote and winning states. Once he’s gone at the convention because of the establishment delegates half of the democrat voters will be anti Hillary. In the republican primary, the outsider won. If the GOPe weren’t such a$$e$, they would see this as the perfect opportunity to destroy the Clinton crime family, progressivism, and political correctness. Paul Ryan needs to be tossed on the ash heap of special interest establishment types who forgot who they represent.
A very good thread with good points being made by many. I just shake my head after holding my nose and voting for Romney and Ryan 4 year ago. I expect some respect for the people that did that. But Romney and Ryan are the most ungrateful people ever. Both should just go away and shut up. Really they are yesterday’s losers. They failed to try and win when they had the nomination. In my book that means they no longer have a right to tell me anything. They have proven how worthless they are and must be purged from the party for the good of the party.
It runs in the family; isn’t she his sister-in-law?
The Republicans who’re now opposing Mr. Trump and saying they won’t vote for him, will vote for the Witch, and/or are contemplating a third party run against him are not just indulging themselves in evil, infantile, self-destructive tantrums. Instead, and far worse, their actions are un-American and anti-constitutional. They propose to enable an habitual criminal to become President and to assure that anti-American communist criminal will be able to remake the Constitution in her own vile form by appointing as many as five Supreme Court justices, who will hold their positions for the next generation. Nothing could be worse.
NeverTrump = AlwaysHillary
That's better.
Pretty much.
Hey, I like what you wrote, but edited it to make it more cogent:
The self-annointed “principled conservatives” who oppose Trump are not conservatives at all: they simply represent establishment groups that view the average conservative American as nothing but a sap to be lied to and manipulated.
These establishment pseudo-conservatives fall into five groups. Let’s call them the five B’s:
1. THE BRIBED - These are the people paid by rich special interest groups whose financial interests directly contradict the interests of the average American. THE BRIBED depend upon rich, “cheap labor express” globalists to fund their jobs and their campaigns. These sell-outs go before the voters and pretend to care about them while hiding their true intentions. Americans have finally wised-up and detest these traitorous political figures who they now no longer trust. These highly paid “consultants” and their pseudo-conservative establishment client politicians make emotional appeals to support “true conservatives”, though this sort of propaganda is becoming less useful as more and more rank-and-file members catch on via the many truth-exposing sources available on the Internet.
2. THE BEHOLDEN - There is some overlap with THE BRIBED but THE BEHOLDEN are primarily New York and Washington based enemedia pundits who don’t have a real audience and whose very existence and career depend on a small network of supporters. They don’t care about the American people, and the American people don’t care about them. But their small network of supporters provides them with media access and employment, often with large publications and institutions. Think “Bill Kristol”, “George Will”, “Erick Erickson”, etc.
3. THE BLACKMAILED - Many newly elected Washington GOP politicians have talked a good game during election time, but once elected, for some reason they have quickly drop their “conservative principles” when they vote. Such conversions happen too quickly to be the result of slowy compromising away their souls a tiny piece at a time until nothing is left and therefore can really only be the result of some kind of blackmail. Think Senator Cory Gardner from Colorado.
4 THE BUSHES - Many of the instigators of the NeverTrump movement appear to be associated with Bush family interests. When Jeb Bush was still running, the idea was to attack Trump but not his supporters. Once Jeb bush left the race it was time to totally destroy Trump. Candidates and pundits were told to go after Trump and personally ridicule him and to gang up against him. Lindsey Graham and Mitt Romney attacked Trump continually in public speeches. The Bushes represent open borders, globalism and alliances with liberals. The big dollar PAC’s attacking Trump with negative ads are primarily supported by Bush and Romney big-money interests.
5. THE BLIND - This category includes those naive folks who think the open-borders, pro-Muslim globalists actually represent their interests, that is, assuming they think about the issues at all and are not simply content to think of themselves as “good Republicans”. Without performing independent research, THE BLIND naively accept politicians who proclaim themselves “principled conservatives” and that Trump is a liberal reality show host or that Trump will ruin America or that Trump is a racist or a a hater, all of which are themes continually repeated by the enemedia 24x7x365. Think country club Republicans who attend fund-raisers dressed in their finery and who are simply content in thinking they are rubbing elbows when they meet beggar politicians.
I think all of these groups would prefer a Clinton victory to a Trump victory.
I haven’t read this post or it’s replies yet.
What irks me about these cretins is most of them are independently wealthy and have little to lose no matter who wins in November.
They will hardly suffer under a Killary administration like the rest of us shlubs.
Did you have to include that picture of a festering, rancid, steaming pile of HOG SH#T in the article?

The Bat, the Birds, and the Beasts
A GREAT conflict was about to come off between the Birds and the Beasts. When the two armies were collected together the Bat hesitated which to join. The Birds that passed his perch said: “Come with us”; but he said: “I am a Beast.” Later on, some Beasts who were passing underneath him looked up and said: “Come with us”; but he said: “I am a Bird.” Luckily at the last moment peace was made, and no battle took place, so the Bat came to the Birds and wished to join in the rejoicings, but they all turned against him and he had to fly away. He then went to the Beasts, but soon had to beat a retreat, or else they would have torn him to pieces. “Ah,” said the Bat, “I see now,
“HE THAT IS NEITHER ONE THING NOR THE OTHER HAS NO FRIENDS.”

Especially since Trump never slammed Cruz or his wife or his father and was always such a gentleman. We should all be as polite as Trump.
