Scarborough says he was contacted yesterday by Republicans, conservatives and right-wing bloggers asking about Trump’s “mental health.”

Why would they contact him about Trump’s mental health? That’s a pretty obvious lie.

Why would these people be contacting Scarborough other than they’re globalists wanting to derail Trump?

Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals used to marginalize enemies.

Saul Alinsky’s Rules from Rules for Radicals

Saul Alinsky describes 24 rules in Rules for Radicals. Of those 24 rules, 13 are rules of “power tactics”:

1. “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.”

2. “Never go outside the experience of your people.”

3. “Wherever possible go outside of the experience of the enemy.”

4. “Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.”

5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

6. “A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.”

7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”

8. “Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.”

9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”

10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”

11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside.”

12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”

13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

The remaining 11 rules Alinsky describes are concerned with “the ethics of means and ends”:

1. “One’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s personal interest in the issue … Accompanying this rule is the parallel one that one’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s distance from the scene of conflict.”

2. “The judgment of the ethics of means is dependent upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.”

3. “In war the end justifies almost any means.”

4. “Judgment must be made in the context of the times in which the action occurred and not from any other chronological vantage point.”

5. “Concern with ethics increases with the number of means available and vice versa.”

6. “The less important the end to be desired, the more one can afford to engage in ethical evaluations of means.”

7. “Generally success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics.”

8. “The morality of a means depends upon whether the means is being employed at a time of imminent defeat or imminent victory.”

9. “Any effective means is automatically judged by the opposition as being unethical.”

10. “You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments.”

11. “Goals must be phrased in general terms like ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,’ ‘Of the Common Welfare,’ ‘Pursuit of Happiness,’ or ‘Bread and Peace.’”

Scarborough and some others just can’t keep up with Trump’s ability cover a lot of subjects quickly.

Oh Puh-lease!! The media isn’t used to a Republican candidate actually defending the attacks against him. I hope this all backfires on the media and people see this for what it is.

Typical Soviet ploy.

Declare someone insane and that ends that.

This is a great analysis.

But also we cannot only zero in on politics, after all, mental health issues can devastate anyone of all political stripes and social status, look at Joe Scarborough who clearly is suffering from mental health issues.

And there are clear signs of mental health issues across the entire Cruz family on both sides, sometimes these issues become infectious to everyone around them as a result of stress and mind games and fixations that spread mental stress and mental issues to others. Those with such issues attract others with mental issues and fixations, where potentially dangerous mentally disturbed people hang out in the same crowd in a “birds of a feather” scenario viz Cruz and Glenn Beck.

Extreme jealously can also make one mental, look at Mark Levin for example who is possessed with jealous hatred of Michael Savage who eclipses Levin in popularity. A lot of Levin’s heart problems can be attributed to this jealous fixations that are also a form of mental issues of the John Hinckley Jr. venue, who by the way is absolutely still a danger to society and likely nowna frequent listener to Levin’s radio show. The scary thing is, the Hinckley types not only become Cruz-bot personalities, they also often turn and attack major persunalities including those they admire on the radio or TV.

It’s crazy out there. Listen to Hillary’s laugh.
