Donald Trumps grip on the Republican Party is so secure that his enemies draw a warm bath and open their veins rather than face the violent death that awaits them in their primaries. Thats the real meaning of Jeff Flakes act of political seppuku this week. His speech from the Senate floor about the need to defend democratic norms is not the beginning of some heroic Republican resistance, the opening salvo of a civil warbecause Flake has no army. Bob Corker has no army. John McCain and Mitt Romney and George W. Bush have no armies. It cant be a civil war when all the troops are on one side: Trumps.
Trump was a celebrity, and hes an instinctively gifted campaigner. He spoke political truths, however crudely, that the public longed to hear. But thats the point: they longed to hear what Trump had to say about Americas raw deals and the wars we dont win any more because no one in the political establishment of either party dared to voice such thoughts. Execrable leadership by respectable Republicans and Democrats created the conditions that led to Trump

The anti-uniparty movement has been around for quite some time. Trump was just the first national figure to unify it.

The Cheap Labor Express has been getting us to vote for their stooges for decades while they kept the borders open and the laws unenforced.
Importing the workers for the jobs that couldn’t be exported and having us pay the true cost, both financial and human, of their bipartisan plan to change the demographics of this country.
We would not vote for global governance, so they imported foreigners.
Primary the weasels in 2018, primary the weasels in 2020, primary more weasels in 2022, keep turning out weasels until Congress represents the citizens and upholds the law.
“Execrable leadership by respectable Republicans and Democrats created the conditions that led to Trump.”
Aided in GREAT measure by 0bama. Please! Let’s give credit where it is due!
I first awakened to the uniparty when George W Bush had both houses of Congress and the Supreme Court on his side and he did absolutely nothing with it. If anything, his pursuit of Gonzales v Raich destroyed what was left of the Republic.
The window was there to liberate Cuba. Nothing. The ability to shrink the size of government was finally there. And he didn’t even try.
That’s when I realized that smaller government and reduced spending were things no one in power wants, and never will. Trump is the only one in a position to change that, and if it means primarying ever member of Congress, so be it.
The people he mentions haven’t opened their veins yet. We still have work to do.
For the past 10 years or more I’ve told people “I’m a RINO” because I was still registered as R but most of those who we elected didn’t vote according to the principles of the party. Trump is fixing that - strengthening national defense, standing up for individual liberty, opposing regulations and reducing the size of government, and getting government out of the way so the economy can regain it’s former strength.
It’s called MAGA!
The author gets it.
Really well said.

The Progs are using the term “woke” to mean that their faithful sheep have had some epiphany that was really just to do what the media told them to do.
The Trump voter is the one who is really “woke”. We woke to the UniParty fraud that has taken away our votes and handed the keys to our nation to people with no allegiance to it.
Like you, I “woke” while GWB was president. Most FReepers work halfway through the election last year. But we are finally all awake.
Lots of work to do.
Alexander, Corker, Flake, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain, Rubio, Gardner, Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson, Blunt, Johnson, Toomey, Capito, Rounds, Fischer, Collins, Wicker, Sasse, Ernst, Lankford, Young, Boozman and Shelby are all undocumented Democrats in R jerseys.
From this week’s Numbers USA newsletter:
Reports this week indicate that the outlaw businesses also are getting a lot of help from Republican Senators. Here’s one list:
From ARIZONA: Sen. Jeff Flake
From NORTH CAROLINA: Sen. Thom Tillis
From OKLAHOMA: Sen. James Lankford
From SOUTH CAROLINA: Sen. Lindsey Graham
From TEXAS: Sen. John Cornyn
Those Republicans are reported to be on an informal task force led by Sen. Cornyn to get a DACA amnesty through the Senate.
All of them in one way or another have indicated that they don’t want the amnesty to be slowed down by including an E-Verify provision that would disadvantage outlaw businesses. (If they can’t get mandatory E-Verify while giving away an amnesty, when do you think they ever would — or could?)
I’d be easier if you listed the ones you like.
Trump did not covert the GOP. The cheap labor express promulgated by the elites to benefit their rich donor class squeezed the vast middle class beyond their tolerance limits. That is what finally changed the elections. Trump simply recognized the frustration of the middle class and talked about it, while all other 16 candidates did not.
There are only a handful of GOP Senators that are on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.
There was only one that voted against the unconstitutional Corker bill.
Most of them are on board the Cheap Labor Express.
They invited those 30 million people here and they do not want us to send them home.
Lots of work to do.

President Trump is the key here; it will be crucial how he eviscerates his opponents. He has right on his side, and us to watch his back.
