They always learn the wrong lessons from everything.
Another article claiming that only ideological purity can bring the oligarchy down.
I hope this guy doesn’t suck as bad at stand-up comedy as he does at writing political commentary.
For Pete’s sake, Schlichter is transparently trying to write something that mimics Trump’s brashness. In the end his conclusion is that we’ll have to wait for the guys from the GOPe to just die out.
I know I’m all atwitter with that solution.
One thing Trump has done, is absolutely explode the descriptions of him as one sort of accident or another.
Oh he’ll be beaten alright...
Sure he will. /s
The ironic thing is that Trump has the purest ideological political experience of all - money.
We live in a world now where it costs a billion dollars to run for president. A BILLION dollars. This is no longer a side issue.
i guess you didn’t read the article.
I actually like Donald Trump as a person. Every video I watch of the guy says that he’d be a fun and engaging person to sit and have a beer with.
Great essay.
“Don’t even think this will blow over, GOP establishment. The fight for the soul of the GOP has just begun, and we are younger, tougher and meaner than you are.”
Pro life, pro traditional marriage, pro free markets. Let’s be tough.
he never said they can’t be beaten. he did say their time is short.
was he wrong about the establishment trying to shove candidates who will only perpetuate their power down our throats?
was he wrong that the establishment is totally missing out on the fact we feel betrayed and Trump tapped into that sense of betrayal?
was he wrong to state the conservative base wants nothing to do with the establishments candidates?
This idiot seems a little too confident that Trump won’t win and that he and his ilk will stop him. Not likely considering the inane trash he writes.
It is the author who is learning and preaching the wrong lesson. The man is obviously oblivious to the threat of unrestrained immigration and he is utterly ignorant of the recent political history of an increasing number of states in the union.
There are 42 million immigrants, legal and illegal, in America, maybe more. Their affect on the political landscape has been determinative. The classic example, of course, is California which Ronald Reagan won four times and no Republican, not even Ronald Reagan today, has a prayer of taking the electoral votes of California. My favorite example is the northern suburbs of Washington DC in Virginia known for generations as "Mosby's Confederacy" which has actually gone for Obama. This is Virginia Hunt country for God sake!
Immigration has done this and it spells the end of conservatism. The GOP e is not concerned about the end of conservatism, that they can live with very easily provided they have, as the author points out, a drum to beat about it. They are concerned about the end of the Republican Party which is not a political party but a business. Their business is to sell indulgences to the money elete for the sins legislatively created by progressives. Without the Democrat party regulating and legislating, the Republican elite would have nothing to sell. Republican elitists will always find a niche from which to ply their trade.
If you equate, as I do, conservatism with the survival of the Republic, then there is no issue but immigration. Unless immigration is reformed, that is halted and rolled back, there will be no Republic as we understand it in a generation.
Time is on the side of demographic inevitabilities. There has never been a time when there is less time.
I read it.
A bunch of nonsense.
affect = effect
Kurt Schlichter (the author) is also learning the wrong lesson. I guess it’s to be expected from the Stupid Party’s leadership and its mouthpieces such as Schlichter.
By the way, not voting for Señor Bush (any time, any place, any election) is what I define as an “act of love”.
What has happened is an unmitigated disaster and a form of self induced cultural genocide.
I don't know who the "you" in "me and you" is, but it ain't me.
