Trump Gets It. The GOP Doesn't
American Thinker ^ | June 10,2016 | Sally Zelikovsky

Posted on 06/10/2016 5:48:56 AM PDT by Hojczyk

But we don’t. Instead of explaining our candidate, rallying behind him, and jumping aboard the Trump train, we call him a racist and jump on the politically correct, anti-Trump bandwagon -- which, by the way, is engineered and steered by the Democrat-Media Complex. No rational being can possibly expect that bandwagon to take us all the way to the White House.

And herein lies the rub -- it is the very ineptitude of Republicans articulating our principles and policies and their failure, once elected, to implement the policies promised during campaigns, coupled with all of the politically-correct backtracking they do in an effort not to be criticized by the Democrat-Media Complex, that is responsible for the rise of Donald Trump in the first place.

And this leads to my final query: are Republicans deliberately undermining this nominee because they truly believe 4-8 years of Hillary is better than 4-8 years of Trump? Are Republicans really that stupid? Or, by doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, are they just nuts?

Sadly, I guess you’re right.

It seemed an airtight racket.

Then someone comes out of the blue who is sincere about it, and breaks all the political rules.

To answer the final query, Washington is Panem and all the red states are districts and all the blue states are Panem allies. Washington already locked up the blue states with restrictive gun laws which violate our constitutional rights. Throw in a dose of 1984 and your have a really stupid populace, which explains blue states.

In the districts, you have Panem sympathizers. Those are the RINOS. Their only goal is to be invited to the swankiest of Panem cocktail parties and giving favors to companies that donate to their reelection campaigns.

“Fail to elect Trump and begin the long and painful road to tyranny and serfdom.”

**** I’m afraid the road is not long. We are almost there.

It requires only a willing tyrant to complete the journey.

-- What this class has actually done is vastly waste the resources of what was an enormously blessed land. --

Yep. A corrupt few has taken over the press, education and government, and uses it to enrich themselves. Human nature makes this undertaking trivial.

Not only have the natural resources been wasted, but so has the human potential. It has been said that the US reached the peak of (education) potential in the 1920's. I believe that. Passive media (radio) came into prominence then. Half an hour of radio or teevee is about half a page of newsprint. And when the message is mostly lies and misrepresentation, well, the results naturally fall out as they have.

The GOP is not nuts. They are simply completely corrupt. Trump threatens their place at the feeding trough.

Look...the facts are: Donald J. Trump knew exactly what he was getting into when he entered the POTUS race!!! He knew from the outset....that he would be totally opposed by The Republican & Democrat Establishment political parties, the overwhelming number of both the print & TV media and the donors, lobbyists, would be, king makers, low life, political vermin, and all America haters...Barack Hussein Obama, included!!!

So...he is well tuned in to his defense. Even his so called attack on a biased Judge is now bearing fruit, with the true revelations, of the Judge’s hateful bias surfacing more each day!! So.... folks DJT is doing this for his country!!! HIs thoughts were and are, “I have had a great life in this wonderfull nation of ours, I am growing older, so, now it’s not about making more money or gaining more power, it’s about saving the life and standing of the greatest nation in the world and its magnificemt people”!!!

Too bad the Paul Ryan’s & John Kashich’s of this world cannot see the forest for the trees!!! These folks are “little” men, only concerned about themselves, their power, and their unending greed!!!

GO DONALD J. TRUMP!!! The American people are with you!!!

As more and more Republican Senators, Congressmen, and so called “leaders” in the party speak out every day against Trump, it just solidifies my decision to drop out of the party and register as an Independent. I am now thinking of sending Rence [sp?] a quick note to let him know, that as a lifelong republican, the way they are treating the People’s choice of a nominee for the party is why I changed my affiliation. Perhaps if he got a LOT of messages saying the same thing....and saw people switching from Republican to Independent, it would open their eyes to get behind the front runner? Just a thought?......

Trump Gets It. The GOP Doesn't

The GOPe do NOT want to get it.

They're fighting to keep their "feeding trough" in place, along with holding their position in the pecking order.

Trump is about to do to their world what the A-Bomb did to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

You are absolutely correct.

The American people have spoken. Donald is our choice- like it or not.

We all know that the rats will resort to ANYTHING to keep Donald from undoing the damage Obama has done to our country
The Rinos and GOPe will also resort to anything to keep Donald from upsetting their gravy train.

They will use every trick in the book= voter fraud, maybe even try to take him out.

We MUST put aside our anger, our differences, and unite behind Donald.

Donald CAN win this and make America great again. He is a brilliant business man/CEO who can get things done. He is a fearless outsider not crippled by PC. He hasn’t even started on Hillary yet.
He knows all her criminal activities and is not afraid to hit her with all of them.

We must make this the biggest Republican voter turn out in history.
Anyone who refuses to vote, votes ‘third party’ or does a ‘write in’ is casting a vote for Hillary. Fact.

We MUST all turn out and vote for the Republican candidate.
This the most important election in our lifetime.

“Republicans deliberately undermining this nominee because they truly believe 4-8 years of Hillary is better than 4-8 years of Trump?”

A co-worker thinks Trump won’t win because an international group of financially and politically powerful people that includes many of our elected officials won’t let it happen.

I just googled “anti-incumbency” and was surprised to find that all over the world an insurrection against the elites is underway. It is far from being just an English-speaking world phenomenon.

The real problem is that GOPe’rs like Ryan are in the pocket of special interests. He, like others of his ilk, are being told to be negative toward Trump....or else.

But we don’t live in an ideal world. We live in a world where people lie and cheat and dance around words. They obfuscate. They manipulate. They own the messengers and control the message. They punish those who challenge them.

Our Founding Fathers didn't write much about this in our founding documents.

Google “anti-incumbency”.

Looks to me like that international group of powerful people is about to have their hands full with rebellions springing up all over the world!

Trump's going to have to run against the GOP in the general to win this. This isn't optimal but it's what has to be done to break the corrupt GOPe.

The RINOs gave us McCane and Romney and 8 years of the Obama disaster just to hold on to power. To keep power they will gladly finish destroying the country with Hillaryas president. We should all be disgusted with the GOP leadership
