JENNIFER RUBIN: Trump, Cruz and Paul emerge as Todd Akin Republicans
The Washington Post's Right Turn ^

In 2012, then-Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) took a winnable Senate race and turned it into a debacle for the whole party. His comments on rape were front and center at the Democratic National Convention. One news cycle after another was devoted to his ignorant remarks. He lived up to the cartoon portrait of a clueless misogynist and made the party once again seem like the party of rich, old white guys who cannot relate to modern America.
In the 2016 election, Donald Trump appears on the scene popping off about immigrants and spewing nasty rhetoric. It was enough to cause NBC to break its ties with him, and the network will not air either The Apprentice or the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants:
The network, which has been under pressure to fire Trump since last week when Univision announced it would not air Trumps Miss USA pageant in Spanish, said in a statement that respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values.
Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump, the statement said. . . .

Rubin is a loathsome creature. She is a fanatical believer in unending and ever-increasing mass legal immigration. She ignores all evidence that most immigrants are natural democrats and clings to fantasies and outright myths to the contrary. That the Washington Post has someone who is so left wing on immigration as one of their token ‘conservatives’ is not surprising.

It’s the teeth and bad lipstick.
Clean/whiten her teeth and drop all the bad makeup.
Her thinking is ugly but she would look okay if she would decide on natural look or made-up look. Can’t have both.
She should go natural because it appears she isn’t talented with the war paint.
She should also go left because she has no talent the other direction.

Jennifer Rubin is “conservative”? Since when? She is not even conservative. She is a flaming liberal. I am yet to see a single article of hers that doesn't attack real conservatives. In fact she is the chief attack dog for the WaPo against conservatives. Luckily, hardly any conservatives(or anyone else) read the WaPo.
To: TangibleDisgust
She might as well do a reverse Bruce Jenner and become a man. She is too ugly as a woman.

Trump is like Aiken? Yeah that's why he is shot up to near the the top in every single poll since he trashed.the illegal immigrant Mexican killers and rapists. It would appear a heck of a lot of Americans and agree with The Donald than with Jennifer Rubin who nobody’s even heard of.
