Dana Loesch Absolutely SHREDS Donald Trump Over Conservative Credibility [VIDEO]
Redstate ^ | 1/22/16 | Caleb Howe

Posted on 01/22/2016 6:25:53 AM PST by TBBT

On Fox News on Thursday, host Megyn Kelly had several guests on to discuss Donald Trump in light of the new "Against Trump" issue of National Review. Radio and Television host and long-time tea party star Dana Loesch was among the many panelists.

In the coming days, National Review will have their own conservative credibility questioned. Along the same lines, Loesch was asked about the conservative and, more specifically, tea party cred, and whether The Donald has any. In her answers, Loesch candidly and passionately made her case that he has none at all.

"I didn't stand out, I didn't phone bank, and I didn't go door to door, for an increased mandate for ethanol. I didn't do it for eminent domain," said Loesch, referring to the inception of the tea party movement. "I feel as though a lot of this has turned into popularity over principle."

From there, Loesch really opened up in her criticism, citing specific policy issues, and frankly shredded Trump over his long history of anti-conserative views and his total lack of record standing up for conservative values.

Well, I have just decided I am not voting for Beck’s buddy.

Too bad, so sad.

I will give her credit, she seems the most credible. However it will not matter. Many dutifully followed the directions and opinions offered by the chattering conservative pundits and talking heads, hanging on every word of the writers and talk shows. It has gotten us no where.They all should know by now the more they push, the more entrenched his supporters become and the more his poll number go up. If those numbers are any indication of the support, they might as well buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Dana Loesch’s claim to fame is being an outspoken Tea Party mom, who caught the eye of a local radio station, then on to commenting on news shows, as a conservative “expert”.

Glenn Beck picked her up, on the Blaze....she moved to Dallas an became his acolyte.

No thanks!

This whole segment, along with the National RINO Review hit manifesto is a YUGE backfire. LOL. Couldn’t have happened to a better group, or on a better show.

This campaign has become about taking one of three positions:
Liberalism
Conservatism
Common sense

The popular choice is common sense, which has been abandoned by the other 2
Common sense says the next president won’t get anything done to fix our problems without cooperation across the spectrum, with the backing of tremendous popular support
Only one candidate offers the chance of that happening

Look at those 4 faces that represent “ conservatism”
Wth does “ common sense” mean to someone who lives in la la land?

Mob rule...

Hey, baby - I don't know if you're keeping up with current events, but we've been under mob rule since 1964.

About time it's OUR mob...

She’s correct, of course.

Trump is a good salesman, and sales are made on emotion, not logic.

If logic won, we’d all be driving base model pickups, econoboxes, or minvans, depending on our actual needs.

But there are plenty of monster trucks, luxury SUVs, and high end sedans to know that emotion makes sales. I am guilty of that myself.

So, I can’t blame the Trumpers. He tells a very good tale.

Cruz is, by far, the logical choice.

But I am afraid emotion will rule the day.

Remember. Trumpites don't care if he's a conservative, liberal, or a martian.

We want someone who has the guts to actually say phrases like "Radical Islam", or "Illegal Immigration", or "Political Correctness".

Did you have someone else in mind?

I am still going to vote for Trump. If the republicans and these fake conservatives had put this much effort into defeating that jack ass in the white house, Hussein Obama would have never been elected.

I don't now...nor ever have considered any of these people to be conservative enough for me.

B-1 Bob would be for a TRUMP/CRUZ ticket at this point...just by looking at the numbers. In his heart...as in mine...I believe his favorite would be Ted. But at this point..to get Ted into the VP slot...would be a major victory for all of us.

Beware of Tea-Party members being swayed by the Rino/neocons and establishment types. They are being seduced by the dark side.

The reality is Trump will be the nominee. In this case I will side with someone who has put more tea-party/conservatives into actual office. Sarah. But after Iowa, N.H. and S.C. she needs to work more on House and Senate races.

JMHO

It’s not mob rule but rather a failure of Conservatism and the Republican Party.

I want a problem solver and I think Trump is one. He will play practical politics rather than be Ideologue.

Conservatism has failed as it has no real ideology or philosophy behind it.

The Republicans have failed as they have totally squandered their opportunities to make a compelling case for themselves. They have caved and given Obama and Democrats everything they wanted and more.

Where has been the alternative plans for Obamacare, Taxes and so many other issues?

One thing I will give Newt Gingrich credit for was in 1994 he came up with the Contract with America and it was brilliant. They did not get everything but they were able to get some important parts of it passed and signed by Clinton.

So I am no longer looking for Conservatism to save us, I will settle for Trump.

Trump isn’t a conservative. Never has been. He comes off as phoney when he pretends to be a conservative.

OTOH -
1) He is attacking political correctness like no one else ever has.
2) He has the clear upper hand over the MSM.
3) He has brought illegal immigration to the forefront.
4) He has brought the cancer of Islam to the forefront
5) He is not holding back on attacking the Clintons. He has caused Bill Clinton to become a liability rather than a benefit to Hillary Clinton.

These are really significant accomplishments. I prefer Cruz because of his demonstrated conservatism and his willingness to fight. But I cannot ignore what Trump has accomplished since he threw his hat into the ring.

“I can’t recall hearing Trump campaign on smaller government, liberty & freedom from government.”

Then you haven’t been listening. He’s he’s talked about that over and over. His sons have said it multiple times. I don’t see how anyone can watch Trump rally and press conference videos and say that. I don’t see how anyone can watch his kids interviews and say that.

Here’s one;

"celebrity candidate with zero history of Conservatism like tween girls at a Justin Beiber concert"""...

There it is, that is what his draw is exactly. He is "Mr. Apprentice", Mr. Bigger than life rock star.

Elvis...The Beatles......on and on and on. Oh I forgot Michael Jackson, yuk Mr. play with himself on stage.

Nothing more than Celebrity appeal.
