Against Trump (RINOs dedicate entire magazine to Trump bashing)
NRO ^ | January 22, 2016 | Numerous RINOs

Posted on 01/22/2016 6:44:33 AM PST by 20yearsofinternet

Trump nevertheless offers a valuable warning for the Republican party. If responsible men irresponsibly ignore an issue as important as immigration, it will be taken up by the reckless. If they cannot explain their Beltway maneuvers - worse, if their maneuvering is indefensible - they will be rejected by their own voters. If they cannot advance a compelling working-class agenda, the legitimate anxieties and discontents of blue-collar voters will be exploited by demagogues. We sympathize with many of the complaints of Trump supporters about the GOP, but that doesn't make the mogul any less flawed a vessel for them.

Some conservatives have made it their business to make excuses for Trump and duly get pats on the head from him. Count us out. Donald Trump is a menace to American conservatism who would take the work of generations and trample it underfoot in behalf of a populism as heedless and crude as the Donald himself.

Do not forget that McCain and Romney were the GOPe standard bearers. If Trump delivers on just his immigration rhetoric, he’ll be way ahead of the last guys!

“A bunch of Rinos talking to each other and slapping each other’s butts.”

That fairly well sums it up, and will have about as much effect, except it will cause George Will to drool with pleasure.

Brent Bozzell is a great guy

BTW

I am not a fan of National Review or Eric Erikson of Red State, but there are others that have come out against Trump such as Brent Bozzell, he was on Fox last night.

2 polls came out yesterday in Iowa, one had Cruz up by 2, and the other had Trump only up by 1, both were bumped from the front page only because other polls bad for Cruz came out only couple hours later.

Leads me to believe that FR is in the tank for Trump. Why were the other 2 polls more favorable to Cruz that also came out only yesterday, bumped from the front page?

How do we know that they are not more accurate, why are they dismissed?

I had said last week that it appeared to me that the majority here were for Trump, I was corrected by a couple that no I was mistaken and there is a edge for Cruz

Whatever can only assume the powers that be here are for Trump over Cruz, or else why are the favorable polls for Cruz bumped off front page

one has to look hard to find them now, only hours before the bad Cruz polls...btw I believe the polls that have Trump up outside of the margin of error are all being pushed by the MSM, only question is will the people of Iowa be affected by the phony polls

I brought this to attention of a mod last night just asking the question why were the Cruz 2 favorable polls from yesterday bumped off front page, I thought was a fair question, only hours separated them.

John King at CNN cautioned people to take cnn poll with a grain of salt because of the turn out methodology they used, plus added that they also asked People that only voted 4 years in Iowa and that also had Cruz up by 2.

ALSO Cruz does better in larger samples, the CNN poll that has Trump up by 10 whatever they only ask 266 I believe

BTW FR has the right to be for Trump over Cruz if they want

NRO = Shamwow salesmen, the peddlers of a Jim Jones Death Cult pretending to be the voice of real conservatives.

NRO = The geniuses, who gave us John McCain and Mittens Romney and enabled the Muslim from Kenya to be Potus in two elections.

Time to Macy these scumbags

How would anyone describe the folloing person:
  1. Attended Ivy League School
  2. Lawyer
  3. Spouse works for Goldman Sach
  4. US Senator
  5. Wants to increase H-1B visas by 500%
  6. Gets loans from Goldman Sachs

Establishment or anti Establishment?

All four of these clowns are in favor of:

Trade Deals that ship Manufacturing to Slave Nations so we get cheap crap while decimating the Working and Middle Class

Massive Money Printing and Bailouts for Evil, Criminal Moneychangers that made fraudulent loans.

They agree with Open Borders and unchecked Immigration.
including millions of Barbarians being imported to our country.

They believe in Diversity and Multiculturalism
Divide and Conquer
TYRANNY!

IMHO a “true conservative” cannot win at the moment, as not enough of the voting public supports the economic plank of what that entails.

You can thank the Chamber of Commerce for perverting those positions to sell Crony Capitalism for two decades. Trump is the closest thing to a Conservative who can win at this moment in time.

All of them are scared to death that their gravy train of public money is about to end. People are waking up to what these SOB’s have been doing to us for the past 60 plus years. Some of them might actually have to get a real job.

Yes, because I’m sure those who have advocated conservative policies and values for years are the RINOs, and not the guy who made the foxhole conversion to conservatism when he decided to run for president. That makes perfect sense.

I don’t care if people are for Trump or not. What these people have done is shameful.

The “loan” from Goldman Sachs was really from a retirement account for Heidi Cruz where she borrowed against her own retirement assets. It is her money. Rather than take the money out and be penalized for an early withdrawal she borrowed it.

Most people with a retirement account, especially defined contribution or 401(k) accounts can borrow against those assets.

No one at Goldman Sachs was doing Heidi a favor by lending money to her against her own assets. They would have violated the law if they didn’t provide the loan upon request. That is not borrowing from Goldman Sachs. It is borrowing from yourself. I think this whole issue has been shamelessly politicized.

You left off Cruz playing footsie with the Establishment by voting for TPA and Corker bill. Cruz has been hailed as not bending to ANYONE OR ANYTHING. And Rush says that Cruz will not cut deals with anyone. I just can’t understand that. If I could get through, I would call and remind him of Cruz’s “deals”.
