Not at all...it’s an honest reaction to someone acting like a condescending @ss. And Phyllis Schlafly doesn’t need anyone’s permission to endorse anyone.

She doe’s if it’s done in the name of the Eagle Forum!

“She doe’s if it’s done in the name of the Eagle Forum!”


Phyllis Schlafly, for all practical purposes, IS the Eagle Forum. They are so tightly intertwined in the public’s mind, that anything she says is—even as a private citizen—is associated with the Eagle Forum.

But, what does that say about the importance (or unimportantce) of these other people to the Eagle Forum?

Her stated reason for endorsing Trump was logical and consistent with her past statements. She has long said there was a small group of “kingmakers” who chose the GOP nominee; that the will of the will of the rank and file Republicans did not matter. That’s why she endorsed Trump. She saw Trump as an opportunity to break that kingmaker-cabal.

Schlafly was ahead of the curve in recognizing the GOP establishment for what it was—decades ahead of the curve.
