WaPo’s Gerson: All My Meetings With Republicans Are ‘Therapy Sessions’ Over Trump
Breitbart ^ | 3/18/2016 | PAM KEY

Posted on 03/18/2016 7:37:24 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Friday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” op-ed columnist for The Washington Post, Michael Gerson said when he talks to Republicans it has become “therapy sessions” over anxiety caused by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s success.

Gerson said, “Yeah, every group of Republicans that I meet with now, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, are therapy sessions. People wondering how they deal with this fact because it’s not just a political decision here, it’s a moral one. There’s a candidate who’s placed exclusion at the center, at the heart of the Republican message. That’s causing people real concerns. What do you do? Do you sit it out? Do you support a third party candidate? Do you support Hillary Clinton, which might be possible.”

He added, “Look at the pathetic example of Chris Christie and the way he looks in this, and these are horrible, impossible choices that Republicans are talking about all the time.”

Hold up…

Gerson said, “Yeah, every group of Republicans that I meet with now, breakfast, lunch, and dinner,

Okay, who is paying for all these meals? The Post or We the People?

That is what this is really about. All these Trump haters have super SUPER cushy lifestyles much of which is paid for by the American tax payer.

They also get invited to black tie events, have corporate credit cards that pay for all their meals, etc.

When you really get down to their motive for attacking Trump, it is about their own personal wealth, access to free meals, free airline tickets and hotel accommodations and living the high life in the DC Virginia area.

These consultants and full time political people are afraid that Trump is going to become to fiscal in his approach to no longer wining and dining them on a regular basis.

This is all about their personal wealth and having continued access to the Glam Life.

Go Trump, America First, Make America Great Again and ignore these political hacks.

“Michael Gerson needs to hop in his car and talk to people OUTSIDE of Washington DC. “

He never has before. Gerson has always been an elitist prick.

What a load of BS. They are concerned that their corrupt crony machine will be coming to an end. That’s why they are thinking Mrs. Bill. Their lucrative crimes could double or triple under her.

Inclusion of Legal Immigrants is a GREAT strategy. Inclusion of non violent immigrants is a GREAT strategy.

I hope the Washington GOP keeps fighting for the democrats. We know who they are and will refuse to support them from this point forward.

I’m referring to voters. In an election, the goal is to get as many as possible to vote for you.

Gerson is mistaking the elitist GOPes with ordinary Republicans.

Is that one of Obama’s sons—or one of his fathers?

Funny how exclusion suddenly become an evil when leftist or other evil types want it to be. The fact is that ANY rule or law has exclusion as its operating principle.

I find this creepy as well. But not because (as some have said) that it means there is any immoral act between Ted and has daughter, but because it is obvious the daughter is probably tired of her daddy 'kissing' her for the photo ops,and it's probably not something he does normally during their everyday life. My guess is that she is thinking "I'm not a little baby anymore daddy. Quit it".

I just see a little kid tired of riding on a Bus all day with a bunch of people.

People making this out to be a big deal never went to Disneyland with their Kids. They get there at 10AM happy as Clams and by 5 PM the shine is off the Apple.

Cranky Kids everywhere you look, even in the Happiest Place on Earth. LOL
