WAPO HOUSE CONSERVATIVE: HILLARY IS THE GROWN-UP AMERICA NEEDS [Jennifer Rubin]
Powerline ^ | July 13, 2016 | Paul Mirengoff

Jennifer Rubin is the author of “Right Turn,” a conservative space in the Washington Post. Some on the right question whether Rubin is a conservative, but I don’t I believe I ever have.

I was surprised, therefore, by Rubin’s latest offering. It’s a called (in the print edition) “The need for grown-ups.”

The “grown-ups” to whom Rubin refers are Theresa May, who will be Britain’s next prime minister, and Hillary Clinton. Her thesis is that the two women have the steady hands needed to pick up the wreckage wrought by Brexit and Donald Trump, respectively.

Whenever the left starts of by saying “This has bi-partisan support...” or “Conservatives and liberals both agree...” I simply yawn. It means absolutely nothing any longer.

Jebbifer Rubin is upset that her heartthrob Yeb! did not get to be the Designated Loser.

Rubin is a propagandist for The Cheap Labor Express.

Breitbart article above identifies Rubin as the other female David Brooks.

What you did there. Saw it I did.

Rubin has outed herself as a Vagina Voter.

The author should indeed question whether Rubin is a conservative, because on perhaps the biggest, most important, most consequential issue of all - immigration - Rubin is an extreme leftist.

And since mass immigration is altering the demography of the nation and pushing us ever more towards the left, any ‘conservative’ who holds liberal views on immigration (like Rubin) undermines their conservative credibility on any other issue where they might actually hold conservative views.

She’s right - provideed you define “grown-up” as a thief; a habitual liar; an utter incompetent; and an unapologetic, bare-faced, career criminal.

Evidently the new PC here is no criticism (no matter how minor or by whom) of the Great and Power Trump is allowed. This is the new face of conservatism? Interesting.

What a mug. That said...did she accidentally say “grown-up” when she meant “criminal”?

If so, the United States may also be looking for a steady hand. In this election, the only one remotely meeting that definition currently is Hillary Clinton. If the Republican delegates wise up, they, too, could find someone not only wonkish and serious, but unifying and ethically stalwart to lead the country and the party.

"Wonkish and serious"?

"Unifying and ethically stalwart"?

"Ethically stalwart" Hillary?
