Given the "failures" of the Obama election, Republicans can only lose in 2016 if "they out-extreme the far-left"
On “The O’Reilly Factor” Thursday night, host and new favorite Coulter punching bag Bill O’Reilly expounded on the difference between “Trumpians” and Democrats, and warned Republicans that the real estate mogul’s brand of undisciplined extremism could hurt the party whose nomination he currently seeks.
After rattling off the predictable litany of Republican complaints about Obama’s economic and foreign policies — the suggestion being that Democratic party is weak on both fronts because of the president’s reckless, ignorant actions — O’Reilly claimed that “it should be easy for the Republicans to win the presidency in 2016, but that’s not how it’s shaking out.”
“Donald Trump,” he said, “has bludgeoned the GOP establishment by seizing on a number of emotional issues that conservatives are furious about. His brand of straight talk blows traditional politicians away, making them seem small and dull.” While that might sound like the sort of thing O’Reilly would gladly cheerlead, he argued that it “may be good news for the Democrats.”
The reason? Because “there’s an over-the-top element to Trump’s rhetoric and support.” O’Reilly singled out Trump’s claim that that the 14th Amendment doesn’t apply to the children of illegal immigrants as being particularly without merit — a position which put him at odds with guests and panelists on all of Fox News’ other editorial programs.
The amendment clearly states, O’Reilly said, that “[a]ll persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” Anyone who tries “to parse the amendment will fail, and it’s a waste of time.”
“It also,” he added, “gives the left ammunition,” noting that an editorial in the New York Times “demonizes the Republican party for Trump’s immigration plan.” That, O’Reilly said, will allow the Democrats to “turn defeat into victory by portraying Trump and the entire Republican party as racist brutalizers.”
The GOP, he concluded, will lose the very winnable 2016 election “if they out-extreme their far-left competition.”

BOR(E) must be playing with his medication dosages - sometimes he can actually sound intelligent and the next moment be drooling all over himself.
My Amazon Fire TV unit comes today. Getting the OTA antenna next, then going to pull the HDMI out and see if I can “get by” without cable. I really haven’t watched Fox since the debates...and that is the channel I mostly watched. I get real news in the iPad and rarely hear anything on TV that I didn’t know already.
i NEVER liked oreily
i ALWAYS thought he was just another stinking Lib
and i stopped watching FOX 10 years ago because they were already a liberal cess pool
FOX just purely stinks; oh yeah, yeah, i no, i no, “But they’re all we have.”
NO THEY ARE NOT. WE HAVE TRUMP-—NOW GET BEHIND HIM AND START TALKING; LOSE THE FEAR; LOSE THE PC; LOSE THE POLITE CHITTERCHATTER THAT USES THE LEFTIST VOCABULARY.
This is your chance, armchair hero; SPEAK OUT.
I AM NOT CALLING 2NDDIVISIONVET AN “ARMCHAIR HERO”
I put my REPLY in the wrong box
I am adressing all you tough talkers who don’ actually DO anything other than “Harumph, harumph!”
Lose the PC and talk to your mother in law and pals from CA and NY-—speak out and don’t be polite or use their LIBERAL vocabulary
use the Trump Lexicon!!
O’Reilly needs to take a look at this and ask himself what we should do if illegals become 800 million rather than 30 million...
