The Talk Shows
Aug 21st, 2016
Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Kellyanne Conway, campaign manager for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump; Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Pre-empted for coverage of the 2016 Olympic Games.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus; Robby Mook, campaign manager for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton; Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.
THIS WEEK (ABC): Conway, Priebus, Mook; Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein.
STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): Conway, Mook; Gov. John Bel Edwards, D-La.
The American people are very forgiving to those whom admit mistakes and attempt to correct them. Trump knows he is not perfect. He knows he is very human. But he is authentic and even Hillary can’t fake that.
Correct.
Instead, they will accept tons of small donations from RAT committees, who will "accept donations from foreign governments" and split it up among their members.
The slow rate of change of things like Congressional District boundaries, combined with the ability of legislatures to gerrymander, means that at the local and state level the effects of the Great Replacement can be held off for a bit.
But at the national level I don't even see 10 years. If Trump loses (or maybe even if he wins) it's the end for the GOP and Conservatives being in the White House.
The Dems may eventually be putting both candidates up: one from the Hillary wing, one from the Bernie wing. The GOP will re-brand itself in a way that will shock and appall most current supporters. We will look back fondly on psedo-conservatives like Romney when we see what the GOP is running to win in 2024 and 2028.
Wasn't McCain's run even worse? Romney got more votes and more electoral votes than McCain. Obama was an unknown in 2008 and could have been challenged on experience, something McCain didn't do. By 2012 he was an incumbent, so I say Romney had the harder race and out-performed McCain.
If Trump managed to beat Romney's Electoral College totals, or even come close, then I don't think anyone can say he ran a terrible race.
What that really means is that the POTUS is probably out of play for the GOP at this point, due to demographic changes (aka: Obama's "fundamental transformation") which is turning us into a Latin American / Asian Immigrant dominated nation.
These groups might be hard working and assimilate to many American norms but the historical vision of America means ZIP to them.
Muh Constitution ... whatever. They are here for "goodies" and the good life and will not hesitate to support gun-banning, affirmative action, and other SAtatist nightmares that support their lifestyle goals.
If we lose this election a lot of conservatives are going to have to rethink what they are trying to accomplish. It will probably be the case that POTUS elections are not something to invest energy into at that point.
I don't know what you define as a bit, but in the grand scheme of things, it will be like trying to hold back the tide. Red and Purple states trending blue will predominate. And once TX goes, it is all over.
When the history of the rise and fall of America is written, historians will point to the 1965 Immigration Act as the most consequential act leading to our demise. We are now seeing its dramatic impact. When you import 35 million legal permanent immigrants since 1990, 87% of whom are minorities as defined by the USG, there will be electoral consequences. Immigrants and minorities vote more than two to one Dem. We are being colonized by the Third World.
Thanks for the excellent post. Yes, our cake has already been baked.
