Brzezinski: Dems have a problem if Trump wins
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 12/18/15 7:41 AM | Al Weaver

"Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski argued Friday that the Democratic Party will have a big problem on it's hands if Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination.

Minutes before the GOP front-runner was set to appear on the show, Brzezinski piggybacked off of comments by "Meet The Press" moderator Chuck Todd, who wondered when Republicans will come around to "conventional wisdom" and back the candidate who could best match up with Hillary Clinton. The left-leaning Brzezinski said that Trump is that person.

"Actually, [it's] Trump," Brzezinski told Todd. "If [GOP voters] want someone to beat Hillary Clinton, it would be Trump, because he will do things that none of those candidates will do. I'm not saying it's good, and I'm not saying it's pretty, and I'm not saying it's right."

"But the Democratic Party has a problem if Trump wins the nomination," Brzezinski said.

The comments also came on the heels of a new Morning Consult phone survey showing Trump tripling up his closest competitor with 36 percent support.

The real estate mogul currently sits second in the Washington Examiner's latest set of power rankings.

Trump gets adoring cheering people even from TV audiences in NYC and CA. That’s a clue that he’s the one who can beat hillary in many states where the wannabbees cannot.

Haha! Nice Gop establishment talking points.

Trump has interviews on TV going back to the mid 1980s where he espouses the same belief system he has today.

============================================================ That can only mean one thing....the imminent departure of Trump from the race.

Trump is the only one who will unabashedly take on Hillary and win.

Trump is bad news for the Dem party, but the good news is, he’s also bad news for the Erepublican party.

Hey hasn't ole Mika been trashing Trump on a fairly regular basis? I wouldn't exactly call that “adoring cheering” as you put it.

Hey, if it bleeds off a few Hillary votes, I'm all for it.

For all of Trump's warts, there are two things nobody can realistically argue against:

  1. He KNOWS how to make money and doesn't need a high government office to do it.
  2. He has more loyalty to THIS country rather than to some world organization or left-wing Utopian ideology.

I will point out... If you think that the “establishment”, meaning the entrenched (read democRAT apparatchik) bureaucrats in the State Dept. Just-Us Dept, EPA, and IRS are going to slink off while Trump carries out his plans, you are sorely mistaken. They will fight back...beginning with Trump enterprises. They will turn that company to rubble if they can. IRS audits, EPA regulation fines, Just-Us investigations with organized crime, State Dept investigations into whatever they can manufacture.

Never underestimate the resolve of Onambla and his fellow islamists/leftists to crush liberty once and for all. That’s Onambla’s fundamental change...the end of liberty.

I suspect that the left (who has been amazingly quiet re: Trump) will pounce in September 2016 and have a full blown criminal indictment (or some such) of Trump for all sorts of things before election day as the ace up their sleeve. I am extremely nervous about the possibilities. This applies to Cruz too. They are not going to go quietly, and it has been very quiet of late with regards to these leftards.

I just have this nagging feeling that something is cooking with Trump. You know the first thing Onambla did once Trump announced his run was get into destroy mode. IRS, Just-Us, EPA, and anyone else you can think of. Also, that US Attorney Preet Bharara (Onambla appointee Southern District of NY) is also out there...don’t write him off. He got Shelly Silver and Dean Skelos. Andrew Cuomo may be next...or our favorite guy. This guy is a trophy hunter.

Just some things for you to think about. Not trying to bash Trump here, but don’t overlook the machine of government as a weapon against those who threaten it’s survival.

Inside every partisan Republican, there is at least an inchoate desire to see Trump be unbelievably rude to Hillary for the duration of a 7 month presidential campaign.

Politics is blood sport and republicans play it like they are playing a thanksgiving day old man flag football game.

Trump will smoke Hillary, won’t even be close.

I’m not referring to her. I’m referring to the response he gets on late-night TV, with CA and NY audiences. Did you see that Jimmie Fallon interview from Wednesday night? That mock children’s book by Fallon is the kind of thing that will win usually apathetic citizens to vote for Trump.

This.

Trump is a proven street fighter and that’s the only way to beat Hillary.

I think we are going to get everthing on that list you made, and even more.

Trump has a way of pulling another rabbit out of his hat, the Muslim Ban being the latest.

It’s going to be a grand thing to see.

‘gonna have to watch close though, because with the way Trump does things it’s going to be done and over in a flash.

And there she’ll stand, totally naked.

(OK, I could have passed on that last part, but what the hey)

Since I never watch the show except for YouTube clips from here on FR, you may be right.

However, from the ones I've seen, it looks to me that Mika has a honest to goodness school girl crush on Donald.

What have I said a thousand times? :-)
