Why pro-Trump 'rubes' will win again in 2020
the Hill ^ | January 30,2020 | ED ROLLINS

Posted on 01/31/2020 7:27:14 PM PST by Hojczyk

But perhaps President Trump’s greatest advantage is the utter arrogance of establishment elites like Rick Wilson. When “Never Trump” zealots routinely demean millions of Americans as “rubes” (or “deplorables”), Trump voters become incensed and ready for battle. Criticizing the millions of Americans who support the president sends a message to the American heartland: that your views and values don’t matter. Attacking their president comes down to attacking them and their beliefs.

Just like in 2016, President Trump’s supporters see a president who is facing unprecedented attacks from the Washington establishment: Democrats, faux-Republicans, and the liberal media. Those establishment figures can’t help but express their disdain for their fellow countrymen — the “rubes” outside the Beltway. Every time they do, it’s a win for President Trump.

The “rubes” will rise up in 2020. “Rubes” like me will reward a president who is committed to economic growth and border security. “Promises made, promises kept” is not just a campaign slogan, but a roadmap to continued prosperity, with better jobs, higher wages, secure borders, improved education, and a stronger and more appreciated military. But, most of all, it is a roadmap for the next generation to continue leading the world.

The losers may be uniting, but neither President Trump nor Great America PAC are tired of winning. And we will win again in 2020 — because the country and the world need our agenda.

Rollins worked for Ariana Huffington and her husband. She’s as bad as Hillary. Mike Huffington went poof on her.

What those arrogant fools fail to recognize is, that The American People are not ignorant rubes. We are well informed people who recognize the contempt and disdain these self absorbed, self-important unaccomplished Beltway Fools have for us.
Most all of them have no real life accomplishments. They have never made a payroll. They have never created from scratch a single thing.
Never built a business. Not one manufactured part or assembly. They have never taken a rifle or pistol apart, cleaned and re-assembled it.
Most don’t even know where to locate their spare tire if
they have a flat. Never mind change that tire.
Most all of them are Nancy Boy talkers. Full of themselves and full of shit.
They became use to the fact that WE let them rule us because we were too complacent, too content to recognize or realize that WE in our lazy complacency granted them far too much power over us.
And, after decades of our decile complacency they thought we were at last Ripe for the Taking.
They miscalculated. We awakened. We are seething. We’ve had more than enough of THEM. We ELECTED Donald John Trump as our Messenger. As our Tip of the Spear. And, he has
performed BRILLIANTLY!
Confounding the so-called, self-proclaimed Elite. The “Elite” who have brought our country nothing but national decay.
We, and President Trump, in THREE short years have reversed what it took “The Elite” decades to destroy.

“I’ve never cared for the use of the term Rube.”

Back in 1970 I read “The Great Roob Revolution” by a smarmy elitist named Roger Price. He lamented the “takeover” of America by the majority who would elect Richard Nixon twice.

“Roobs” had no taste, shopped only at K-Mart, and were the Deplorables of their time. They didn’t read the New York Review of Books and never knew lattes nor “gay rights”.

The same folks who will elect PDJT to a second term and make America great again!!

Rick Schmidt can finally get credit for helping a Republican win a Presidential election.

There, fixed it.

... and in so doing, take back the house, retain the Senate (and, of course, the Presidency), and nominate two or three conservative justices to the USSC over the next four years ... thereby taking the America/American-hating Democrat/Leftist Party completely out of power at the national level!

People that talk in these terms are some of the worst people there are. They look down on others because they can't afford to buy the things in the stores these people frequent. Big deal.

As for taste, they hang around with other decent folks who go to church, enjoy pot lucks together, and network for better family life with each other.

I can look back on things Nixon did that I don't like, but if it was him or George McGovern, I'd vote Nixon every time, even after Watergate.

Hubert Humphrey was a pharmacist. He was probably the last Democrat to run that could have come close to grasping Conservatism. Even then he was Left of center, but not vilely so, like today's demoncRats.

I think people like this offend those they seek to rule "lord it" over.

They probably do us more favors than harm.

Yes, they'll appeal to folks far beneath us, but the thinking people will recognize this sort for who they are.

They won't want to be associated with them.

Those that talk about 'Walking Away' these days, recite how people just like this drove them away. They tried to lie to them, and they got sick and tired of it.

We “deplorables” will WIN with DJT in 2020 because we are REAL Americans. That’s why.

In my county, my voting precinct voted 93% for Donald Trump in 2016.

This time around it will be 99%.

Yes he is. I look forward to seeing his segment every night. He got annoyed with Lou interrupting him all the time and asked him to cut it out, good naturedly of course. Used to annoy me, too and I love Lou Dobbs, but his habit of interrupting his guests drove me up a wall. I don’t notice him doing it so much any more.

Thanks for your pleasant note.

What did Halsey mean?
Repetition of /attack/ for emphasis? Probably not necessary for a Fleet admiral.
Or, “Attack!” - then do it again.
I doubt if concern about clarity was a consideration.

When he can get a word in edgewise. Lou, whom I do really like, can be a bit Hannity-esque at times.

Refreshing to hear (read) something from Ed without interruption.

The elites are going to need more than one lesson. And that’s what they’re going to get.

STOP ALL H1B VISAS.

STOP ALL HIB2 VISAS.

Allow the MARKETPLACE to set wages, rather than artificially manipulating the worker pool with desperate pseudo-immigrants!
