Given the "failures" of the Obama election, Republicans can only lose in 2016 if "they out-extreme the far-left"
On The OReilly Factor Thursday night, host and new favorite Coulter punching bag Bill OReilly expounded on the difference between Trumpians and Democrats, and warned Republicans that the real estate moguls brand of undisciplined extremism could hurt the party whose nomination he currently seeks.
After rattling off the predictable litany of Republican complaints about Obamas economic and foreign policies the suggestion being that Democratic party is weak on both fronts because of the presidents reckless, ignorant actions OReilly claimed that it should be easy for the Republicans to win the presidency in 2016, but thats not how its 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 OReilly would gladly cheerlead, he argued that it may be good news for the Democrats.
The reason? Because theres an over-the-top element to Trumps rhetoric and support. OReilly singled out Trumps claim that that the 14th Amendment doesnt 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, OReilly 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 its 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 Trumps immigration plan. That, OReilly 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.

HIllary “I Love it I Love it Those People hate Donald Trump!”
Did he sleep with her, too?

The patriotic mask of Bill O’Commie is slipping as the GOPe tell him to attack Trump.
Maybe he introduced her to the joys of the Loofah.
Yes, so typical. Typical of BOR and typical of Salon.
Thank you. I didn't have to scroll down far for that.
Whatever. I didn’t know he still had a job.
O’Reilly is very disappointing at times. Okay, most of the time. Here he’s worse than the Democrats but I suspect what he is doing is channeling GOPe.
Rephrase the question ... did she sleep with him, too?

While I think Trump is not 100% conservative I do believe that he is a true American patriot that will do his best for the country. I trust him more the GOP by a long shot.
O’Reilly always have been a wishy washy moderate.
Hannity and Greta are good. And maybe Gretchen, at least what I saw of her tonight seemed ok (I only watch posted videos and don’t have cable).
All the rest on Fox... I have no interest in any of them... particularly the most boring of them all: BOR
Why do people watch this bloviating ass? He should be relegated to CNN where his attitude and opinions are more in tune.
While O’Reilly wants to appear to be a neutral journalist, he is exposing himself as to what we’ve known him to be all along: a tool of the left. Remember, he was the guy with the telephone in one hand and his other in his pants talking to the babe. He’s a fraud.
The amendment clearly states, OReilly said, that [a]ll persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.

When this was written people in Indian tribes were not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. So indian babies didn’t become citizens. As I recall, Mexicans weren’t subject to our jurisdiction then and aren’t now. Walking across a border where you could legally be tossed right back into Mexico with force is somehow magically supposed to change that?
Give me break.
Imagine an indian walking outside the reservation and having a baby. A new American citizen for the 1860’s? I think not.
I quit watching him more than a dozen years ago, I couldn’t take his over-inflated ego. I don’t know how people still watch him.
Must be more about “loofah boy” that will come out if he doesn’t toe the line on Trump.
As usual the GOP is playing right into the hands of the left by bashing the front runner. But it is still early...5 months till primaries. But you know they will double down on attacks.
Well a Hispanic woman is defending Trump on CNN. She worked in his company and says he will fix America and end corruption.
