Dinesh D’Souza: Left Had Romney ‘Hiding Under His Desk’ with Tactics that Didn’t Work Against Trump
Breitbart ^ | Michell Moons

Posted on 06/10/2018 1:49:27 AM PDT by EliRoom8

Filmmaker and conservative author Dinesh D’Souza explained the “gangsterization of American politics,” using his own conviction under Obama and his pardon under Trump in a speech to Road to Majority conference attendees in Washington, DC, on Saturday.

He said the left’s attacks that worked on Romney don’t work on Donald Trump. He described the defensive posture of Romney, “up against the wall, hiding under his desk” when his opponents went after him for being too rich. “The problem with accusing Trump of being too rich is is that he sits down and explains to you he’s even richer than you thought,” said D’Souza, eliciting a wave of laughter and applause from the crowd. He explained that this leftist tactic, when used on Trump: “It really doesn’t work.”

The Left will have to seriously regroup and most likely move strongly in our direction

You are talking about the shock troops, the useful idiots.

The dumb masses of voters (and I agree the Left is at risk of losing them) are not behind the coup.

The coup was designed, and is being run, by very powerful men. Some of them have planes, tanks, and guns.

Don't kid yourself. Globalism, and globalist wars, have been on the agenda at the Army War College, the National Defense University, and similar training environments for O-5 and up for a very long time. What sort of man do you suppose got a third or fourth star under Obama, or the idiot from Texas, or Clinton, or HW Bush, for that matter?

I do not think the organizers of this ongoing coup will go down without a fight.

Or in short, Trump used his business acumen to successfully troll the political opposition into oblivion with chess grandmaster-like tactics. Look at how he has reduced CNN and MSNBC into near-irrelevancy.

That's the entire key. And the rich elites hate it because they have to pay more to have their lawn mowed or the pool cleaned whereas us middle class guys will do it ourselves or maybe give that opportunity to a kid in middle or high school.

Some of us are even old enough to remember doing this kind of stuff to earn money when we were pups.

Most leftists have no idea how things “get done” - how things, are built\made, energy is produced, food produced\delivered etc. To them things just some how happen, electricity comes out of a wall socket so put up a wall with a socket - energy problem solved! Food appears at the supermarket, goods on shelves, etc.

With Trump we have a president who, actually knows how things get done because he’s done them, built buildings resorts, etc. Productive life is not an endless political science graduate student bull session like most leftist and “professional politicians” (Note I include conservative professional politicians in this statement!) think it is!
Trump is not an ideological conservative, but he’s a “practicing or practical conservative” because that’s how you get things done! He does have write political philosophy & position papers on it. He just does it.

His idea of helping the poor is simple: tighten the labor supply, especially, the labor supply on the lower end.

That's why the economic elites of both Parties, so used to bending over the average American worker and having their way for the late 40 years, so despise Trump.

Romney was a willing Designated Loser, just like McAmnesty before him.

And this exactly how we've gotten saddled with unmitigated disasters like Energy Star appliances that don't clean our clothes or dishes while running for hours on end. The elites who promulgate such rules don't wash their own clothes and dishes, and so are oblivious that their hired help are using anything but Energy Star to give them those shiny white shirts and sparkling china settings they see every day.

BOTH parties have been preventing US from electing anyone who would side with US and the rule of law for 30 years.

The Bush League Republicans have used FEAR of Democrats to keep US voting for open borders/amnesty candidates Republicans.

Romney kept it fairly close. He ran a fairly conventional republican campaign. It wasn’t enough against a political trickster like Barry (recall his involvement in releasing Fitzgerald’s divorce papers during his US senate campaign).

McCain, OTOH, threw the election. He never laid a glove on Obama despite having several opportunities handed to him on a silver platter.

They were both Designated Losers.
Romney shut down after the first debate.

He said the left’s attacks that worked on Romney don’t work on Donald Trump. He described the defensive posture of Romney, “up against the wall, hiding under his desk” when his opponents went after him for being too rich.

"Men who have no courage, pride or self-esteem, men who have no moral sense of their right to their money and are not willing to defend it as they defend their life, men who apologize for being rich–will not remain rich for long. They are the natural bait for the swarms of looters that stay under rocks for centuries, but come crawling out at the first smell of a man who begs to be forgiven for the guilt of owning wealth. They will hasten to relieve him of the guilt–and of his life, as he deserves."

-- Francisco d'Anconia, Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand
