“Their credibility fell to zero when they awarded Obama the peace prize for accomplishing nothing.”

Just what I was going to say.

“To be nominated is good enough,...”

Exactly right and if the Trump folks are smart they will work this into many campaign spots.

“Keep your worthless pile of crap.”

Let’s think this through ...accept the award, give a speech they won’t forget (maybe include bashing obozo-the-fake) and donate the annual award fund anti-leftist causes. Leave a little on the side to take the Norwegian minister out dinner every year.

Just the thing that the NORWEGIAN Nobel Peace Prize (NPP) Committee DID NOT WANT TO SEE! Valid criteria, definite multiple accomplishments BUT not a LEFTist nor an Internationalist! They are likely hiding in their various closets with their teddies, wishing the world to go away!

Actually, looking at the recent list of NPP Laureates, I find little to disapprove of since Obama's Award, one that the feedback probably sobered them. Of course, at that award in 2009, I was already soured by the 2007 award to Al Gore and the UN's IPCC for the "climate change crisis" work.

I concur. Their Peace Prize would actually regain some credibility IF they gave it to Trump.
Trump will give the money away to some charity and display the medallion in the lobby of one of his hotels or casinos.

Liberal heads will explode. It will be fun to watch.

However, many of the other Nobel prizes(not the peace prize) go to worthy recipients. The peace prize has unfortunately been too politicized over the last 40 years.

Sometimes I think Trump should turn down the nomination. “Thanks but no thanks. The Peace Prize has become a sad joke.”

I hope Trump gets the award.
More important, I hope this pact holds. Trump exploited the rift between Sunni and Shia sects of Islam to ally one against the other (with Israel). Sunnis seem to fear Shia Iran enough to make peace with JEWS. Amazing! And the financial benefit of trading with Israel doesn’t hurt either.
Kerry and Obama must be livid, they backed the wrong side...

Excellent essay, but of course, liberals will never broadcast it any further, unless it’s to denigrate Trump, and declare Grenel’s piece full of lies, without explaining in what way they’re lies.

They are a LIBERAL organization, there is no way they will give this prize to a CONSERVATIVE. Just won’t happen.

The significance of this will be lost on the American public since the MSM has been ignoring all of President Trump’s accomplishments.

They can never get their credibility back. They awarded the prize to Obama just for existing. They are a joke.

We can dream.

However, Trump is not really a conservative. He is fiscally conservative. Pretty socially liberal. I would call him more of a liberaltarian.

I hadn’t considered that. The more I think about it, the better that idea seems.

Their credibility has been near zero for a long time.

Their credibility fell to zero when they gave Yassar Arafat, the father of modern terrorism, the prize. O'Bummer merely underscored their impotence.

Currently, they rank up there with the Oscars Committee.

Actually, less than nothing. He was nominated weeks before he even took office.
