Schlafly was against Trump as little as a month or two ago.

[Slyfox]

Which means the second-to-the-last-hope for America is Cruz.

Which ain't bad.

[dforest]

Yeah, she gets it now.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Shocking. I’m sad about it, but conrats to the Trumpettes.

[hal ogen]

Go Trump. The gop-e are dead to me. These “whig”ers need to be retired, jailed or exiled.

[Guenevere]

No she wasn’t.

[higgmeister]

Bump For great justice!

[lee martell]

Phyllis and I agree. Based on who is now available, Trump or Cruz or Rubio will be the one. I suspect it will be Rubio and Christie, if Christie does well in the primary states. I do not see anyone picking Carly. Jeb’s campaign has given Carly a few compliments. but Jeb remains in the sub-basement level of popularity.

[trisham]

People change.

[Georgia Girl 2]

She has seen the light. Its Trump or CWII. At this point I’m OK with either one. Something has got to give.

[odawg]

Wrong. Headline of her column:

Donald Trump Shakes Up the 2016 Campaign

by Phyllis Schlafly July 15, 2015

Just a quick search, but this date rules out your month or two ago timeline.

Trump couldn’t ask for a better unsolicited endorsement.

"He does look like he's the last hope for America," Schlafly said. "We don't hear anybody saying what he's saying. In fact, most of the people who ought to be lining up with him are attacking him. They're probably jealous of the amount of press coverage he gets. But the reason he gets so much press coverage is the grassroots are fed up with people who are running things, and they do want a change. They do want people to stand up for America. It really resonates when he says he wants to 'Make America Great Again."

Schlafly said it's not only Republicans who feel betrayed, but Democrats, too."

start expecting more insiders siding with Trump and Cruze as they realize that JEB BUSH and Mark rububio are not going to win the primary. When this realization happens you will see a lot of politicians try and grab on to Trump and Cruze. this happened with Reagan in the 1980 the beltway Republicans hated him but when they realized that they could loose there seats in congress if they did not appear to support Reagan they changed there tune. There are a lot of political insiders that pre 1980s despised Reagan but after he got Elected claimed they were Reagan republicans. I expect the same to Happen with Donald Trump and Ted Cruze.

[baltiless]

I can’t believe she’s still alive. Either way, I never liked her. I saw (and see, I guess) her as the sort of person who personified what people hate about what they conservatives are - judgmental, petty, mean, self-righteous. Always struck me as basically a right-wing Bella Abzug.

[RIghtwardHo]

No. Conservatism is. And Trump is no Conservative ... not even close.

Phyllis, I love you and you’ve been in the trenches a long, long time. Too long, maybe. Take some time off and get some air.

[Hostage]

She’s also been against rebalancing powers and redressing roles between federal and state governments using Article V of the Constitution. She lives in Beltway Land and is slow to get the clear picture as the Potomac water makes people very dim, dense.

Donald Trump is not the last hope, but he’s an essential preserver of the last hope which is the Article V movement in resurrecting powers that were decimated by the 17th Amendment. Ted Cruz could be a preserver as well but he is not penetrating as broadly as Donald Trump.

If the democrat party wins or steals the White House in 2016, Article V is lost because they will move quickly to import a voting base that will keep them in power beyond our lifetimes.

[Yashcheritsiy]

Looks like she woke up then.

Hopefully more patriotic Americans will do the same.
