Off the record, House Dems tell CNN’s Tapper that Trump was ‘brilliant’ snookering Dems
American Thinker ^ | 07/18/2019 | Thomas Lifson

Once again Trump’s critics have made fools of themselves. With few exceptions, the beltway establishment pundits (and not a few Republicans) denounced his tweets on the four radical female freshmen now bearing the brand name of “The Squad’ as a gigantic mistake, a violation of the rule that when you opponents are self-destructing, stay out of their way. Trump was denounced as impulsive, foolish, and stupid among many other epithets. NeverTrumpers took this as evidence they have been right all along, that Trump is so stupid that he is unworthy of their support.

But as events have played out, speaking off the record, some House Democrats have told CNN’s Jake Tapper that Trump outsmarted them. Nobody would go on the record with the truth, of course, because telling the truth is not how the establishment of either party plays the political game. And, they have to pretend that their party is unified because of their fear of being challenged in primaries by radicals with the support of Saikat Chakrabarti, Ocasio-Cortez’s Svengali chief-of-staff and the brains behind the Justice Democrats.

Kudos to Tapper for getting the truth out of the Dems, and for publishing it on Twitter. It takes some guts for an employee of Jeff Zucker's CNN to tell the public things that don't support The Narrative that the Left continues to peddle.

In a 12-tweet Twitter thread, Tapper reported on what they told him. Here is the first tweet, followed by the content of the remaining 11, courtesy of the Threadreadrapp: (hat tip: Matt Vespa)

I have some views and inputs for the once great, Jake Tapper, who by the way had the great opportunity to be one of the most objective reporters, commentators, news person in the entire world......he cratered that by Joining CNN and becoming a “slave” lapdog of a totally failing Cable News TV outlet.

Some thoughts for Jake:

- The Democrat Party is dying politically, killed by its own internal failure.
- Democrats must dump & broom both Leaders, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer...immediately...both are absolute, 100% losers and failures.
- POTUS, Trump, has with little effort, successfully put the most ugly face of the nutcase four girl gang, better known as the “Squad” on the entire Democrat Party!!!
- Jake ya better clue your Democrat Party buddies, guys & gals, that are Democrat Blue Dogs, that they better think of switching political Parties right now, from being Democrats to becoming Republicans. If not, they will not be around after the 2020 elections.
- Jake, the game is ended for the current Democrat Party. They do not have one 2020 POTUS Candidate that can come close to challenging or beating POTUS Donald J, Trump in the 2020 POTUS election. They all are a joke and insult to all Americans, regardless of political party affiliation!!!
- POTUS, Donald J. Trump and the passed, famous, magnificent, Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) have much in common...both are masters of successfully playing the ROPE-A-DOPE game. I would say that neither Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer have any brightness, smarts, wisdom, foresight, in the brains department!!! Trump has nailed them to the crosses they now hang on!!! Time for these two empty suits, to hit the retirement bricks...big time...they are both useless!!! Case closed!!!

The Dems are basically seeing what it is like to be "McCain'd"

How many times did we have to sit back and hold our tongues while this vile creature attacked from within -

Chakrabarti’s partner in crime is Cenk Ugyur of The Young Turks.

Go back and look at the YouTube video of their election night coverage. After the delicious fear, panic and total shock they experienced watching Trump win, Ugyur basically launches an attack on Hillary and the “corporate Democrats”, says that Trump’s win was their fault, and it won’t happen again because “we’re coming after YOU!”

That was the founding of the Justice Democrats, within an hour or two of Trump’s win. And it appears they have made good on that threat.

***********

A lot of Dems are probably just now waking up to the reality of the threat that this coup represents.

The Justice Democrats know that Pelosi has lost her grip (in more ways than one) and are quickly moving to exploit the opportunity and fill the power vacuum. They are energized, motivated and cunning which makes them very dangerous. And they have momentum and media support going for them.

Meanwhile the Dem establishment appears to be caught in the middle between Trump on the one side (triggering them on a daily basis and rising in the approval ratings) and on the other side the JD’s growing power and influence.

As the old Chinese saying goes, may they live in interesting times.

Sounds to me like Tapper is fishing for a new employer as CNN continues to sink.

Jake wants to join his pals, Bill Hemmer, Howie Kurtz, John Roberts, Tucker Carlson and probably a few more that I can't think of right now that are schleping for FNC.

FOX is about 57-43 Libs over Semi-Conservatives for on air blabbers.

Behind the scenes, bookers, producers, directors etc. it's closer to 75-25.

And it is so SAD that FOX is the best and only big name news organization, that is even half way decent.

I remember a scene in the UK House of Commons that was broadcast on an American TV network back in 1979 or 1980.

Margaret Thatcher was there during "Question Period," and she was taking one snarky question after another and disposing of each one calmly and brilliantly.

After she delivered one particularly effective dismissal to a poison-edged question, the Labor MPs were in an uproar, and you could hear a back-bencher shouting "Stupid woman! stupid woman!" seemingly at the air. You couldn't see him, he was off camera, but you could hear him quite clearly. Others were shouting and bleating in that sheep-like way they have.

Ms. Thatcher just stood there, looking smug.

Roger on the media support. Most mainstream journ-o-lists’ personal political views seem to mirror AOC’s. They want to use their influence to move the country in that direction, even if their bosses don’t.

Plus this generation has thoroughly mastered Saul Alinsky’s tactics. The very last thing Pelosi & Co. were prepared for was that they’d be turned around and used on THEM.

They also truly believe the CSN song in that they truly do believe that they are smarter than any of their elders and need to “teach their parents well”.

True, but he’s only got one directly and four total. If he had hundreds...

You can be sure Soros and others are looking at this model very closely. And before paranoid dopes chime in, they got AOC in fair and square not by election fraud. The key factors were grassroots campaigning, a lazy incumbent, and poor voter turnout. She won a seat in the House with 15,000 votes.

"This has taken 2.5 years, but maybe a small group of them are starting to realize the cat-and-laser tactics of Trump."

Oh, dear - it's too soon for them to wake up - they should wait til at least September 2020 or even October 2020. That would be great for us if they wait that long, yes?
