The Sunday Morning Bray, by Bray!
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority. Colossians 2:9-10 NIV
Once again the know everything NeverTrumpundits are telling Donald how to run his campaign. Of course those who have never won a campaign in their lives and advised all of the losing Repubs know exactly how to run the most successful campaign in histoir. They are all warning him he needs to soften his stands for fear of scaring off those precious moderates who are always determining the outcome of every election. No, getting out your own people are what determines the win and why Repubs lose.
Fox Snooze and the rest of the NeverTrump media are all lecturing Donald how extreme his rhetoric is and if he keeps it up those precious women, blacks and Mexicans will not vote for him. Never mind these are the same people who say they are not voting since he is not a Conservative, they want him to be more liberal so the moderates will vote for him. So he is not Conservative enough for people like Georgie Will, Hume and Kraut, but needs to soften his message so moderates like Will, Hume and Kraut will vote for him; right!
People always wonder how I have been able to predict accurately the last five Presidential elections as well as the Senate and House when the highly paid mediots have all missed it. The same as why I have won ten of twelve elections in liberal Oregon running Conservative campaigns stopping multi-billion dollar boondoggles. Its really simple really, just do the opposite of what the liberal echo chamber tells you to do and you will find plenty of votes.
The echo chamber which is now the NeverTrump campaign does not realize there is a Silenced Majority out there that they have shamed into quiet. The media bubble does not want to know these people exist since they do not fit into their world view. The media just looks at them as a bunch of stupid racist, sexist, homophobes who work on their cars all day wrapped in the Stars and Bars. They just do not realize what a great gift the media is doing for them to help them evolve into a more tolerant human. The last thing the media wants to admit is that these people exist and actually vote against their world view or that the GOP could win in bigger numbers if they actually went against their view and represented those Silenced voters.
Trump will win in a landslide if he ignores NeverTrumedia and goes after the Silenced Majority. They are far more Conservative than he is, but he is more Conservative than any candidate who has run since Reagan. His stand on the Wall and stopping Stupid Immigration are so unique and long overdue that he has put himself farther to the Right than anyone since Reagan. His tax and economic plans are even more Free Market than RR which is exactly the sweet spot of the Majority waiting to vote. Keeping those as the foundation of his campaign and the addition of Mike Pence has his campaign moving to a landslide in November.
For him to win he needs to stay right where he is, or move slightly to the Right on social issues like abortion and homosexual marriage as well as Islamic intolerance. He has the unique ability to articulate these issues better than anyone before him. He is gifted with the ability to speak without fear and is able to beat the Mediots at their own game. In the end liberals like Georgie, Hume, Rove and Kraut are a list of Marxist clichés in search of an original thought. They will repeat the phrases they hear at the Brie and Chablis parties about moderating your tone or how not to be a racist, but in the end they have no new ideas and only paths to another loss.
He has to resist the temptation of taking the advice of these appeasers and stay on the narrow path to victory. His choice of Pence is an indication he will do just that when the easier picks would have been Newt or Christie, but he went for the Christian from the Midwest and out of the bubble. This is a solid choice for the Silenced Majority and can speak to those social issues which are the weakness of the left. He can point out how Hillary and Obama are for abortion until the first breath and for taking away Christians right to their beliefs in the workplace. These real issues will play very well to Midwest values bringing the Rustbelt into his camp which has the Establishmedia terrified.
The NeverTrumpers are a company of cowards. They are so terrified of his Conservatism they would rather run and hide than fight. Just like Hume, Will and Rove who live in the DC bubble, these Conservative icons like Rush, Beck and Levin would rather lose to Hillary than defend the Wall or stopping Mooslimbs from immigrating without knowing if they are terrorists. It is easier to debate the budget, snooze; than to talk about messy things like religion, immigration and morals. Most of these Talk Show hosts have been wealthy atheists for so long they have forgotten what their listeners have to go through day to day and no longer speak for them.
Trump has rubbed elbows with everyday Joes his entire life. Being in the building industry he is going to be talking to laborers just as often as he is going to be talking to billionaires. They may not be people he is making deals with, but they are people he either rents rooms to or has laborers working on his projects. He seems to like them better which is why he is a hardhat billionaire. He has a way to leave his bubble unlike the Talk Show hosts who fly from one celebrity event to the other and never have to soil their hands with the people who listen to their shows.
So they bark on their shows how liberal Trump is and has sold out Conservatism when they are the true sellouts who will never talk about what would happen if the wall was built and have a real solution to the flood of Mexicans taking jobs. No they would rather talk about some obscure article in the Constitution or a bill in Congress and get all wonky rather than things that are tearing everyday Americans lives apart.
As a Republican you have two choices in elections, win ugly or lose graciously and Repubs are very gracious candidates. Trump is on the other track and if he can stay ugly will win this election in a landslide. He chose the ugliest VP on the list and is a good sign he is not going to be outfoxed by the ruling class. He simply needs to double down and talk directly to the people by keeping with the air campaign and throwing verbal grenades. He has to continue to speak for the Silenced Majority and ignore the NeverTrumpundits. If he does that then he will be redecorating another prime piece of real estate on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Pray America wakes

Morning AB, All.....
To my surprise this thread was up very early in the morning. So a big thank you AB as I am going to the 8:30 am mass but will be back and all the Sunday shows are being taped.
Thank you Bray for weekly wisdom, thanks to all yon commenters who will keep me up to par.
Cause next week is a news junkee dream!!!! The Republican convention! After that, the Democratic convention and hey, I might even watch that!
Going on vacation next week with my granddaughter so won’t be around next Sunday. Next Sunday going to the Delaware State Fair....the BEST state fair in the country!!!! Staying at a hotel night of fair then getting up and driving to Massachusetts. Visiting my mother-in-law and husband’s family.
What a strange bunch....all living in Massachusetts but all of them born and raised in Indiana. Should be some great political discussion.
And beautiful granddaughter will meet husband’s nephew because my rule has always been, you looking for a man in your life....find a Fish man. They were born to be husbands and fathers.
Of course nephew is only 14 and gorgeos, breathtakingly beautiful granddaughter is only 12 and she’s convinced she is somehow related to Matthew.
Which she’s not.
I got mixed emotions about granddaughter’s beauty. This is because I was once a woman’s libber and thought women should not be judged by their looks but who was I kidding?
When in fact I myself was quite beautiful when young but I never thought so. I thought I was hideous, fat, ugly and stinky.
I look at granddaughter and her beauty takes breath away.
And she’s some kind of dancer, I don’t know what that’s about. But we are travelling to Massachusetts in the Jeep which I had all fixed up this past week. Because her mother totally abandoned her and my heart aches.
But she’s a great kid, and beautiful, did I tell you?
Finally, I am currently learning the bible and there is a possibility, slight, that I might be joining another church.
Because whoever came up with the idea of leaving a congregation to be charged by a single male....well that was a dumb idea.
But I don’t think I can give up mass, I love going to mass.
Speaking of, got to get ready to go. Keep up the conversation for me folks.
The only thing missing was the sponsor of the show, “The Shady Bunch, brought to you by HSBC,”
I picked a lot from my garden yesterday and now my back is complaining. Still, I won't complain too much. Here's the outcome of that:
At least Newt is on.
I wonderif Chris wall-ass will ask John Brennan if he is a practicing muzzie or not-—nahh... what would that matter....
Full Measure—this morning’s coming up section (9:30 AM Eastern):
July 2016 ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF FULL MEASURE:
Full Measure takes an eye-opening trip to the southern border with Mexico.
what are those big white things? Albino egg plants?
Nice! What are those white things at the top of the photos?
Thank you and Good Morning! Have a wonderful day!
That looks like the haul from our garden !! I have been pickling peppers and they are great-you just put them in the fridge. I am overwhelmed with tomatoes and Japanese eggplant right now.
You have more than captured the essence of Donald Trump and the movement that is about to happen and the method to use in winning elections.
The "movement" is so big its been described as "the monster vote" and actually calculated by some:
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/05/07/the-voting-block-every-pundit-never-discusses-the-monster-vote/
The Monster Vote is the voting bloc of those who had turned away from politics; those who gave up, and/or just never voted in the first place. This video was/is prescient in retrospect when you consider the record-breaking volume of primary voters who have turned out to support Donald Trump.
In many ways what Citizen Dale describes in this video is exactly whats happening. However, what is described in the Monster Vote is also never discussed in the media when the professional political class and punditry use historical reference points to make their arguments.
Comparisons to turnout models in 2012, 2008 etc. have absolutely no value when you consider the scope of the monster vote. The voices discussing election turnout are only comparing the 60 million for Dems, or the 60 million for Republicans.
No-one is discussing the 100 million, the silent majority, the non-voting bloc, the largest single voting bloc in the United States. However, there are signs the monster vote is active and engaged. Visible signs the professional political class would rather you not contemplate.
It's real and its related to Trump but it was there before he was. There are millions who are disenchanted with the status quo and want someone,anyone who will carry the sword for them and straighten out the country.
Enter the Donald.
He is the chosen one. If he just follows sage brays advice we win they lose.
So, no telling what links the fascist Erdogan has to our evil leaders from ozero to the hiladabeast.
This recent coup in Turkey has all the stink of a val/jar-kabal op where all the opposition is killed or jailed in one failed swoop using a contrived coup as the villain.
Too bad it didnt turnout like Egypt where the good guys won.
And as Diogenesis so appropriately wrote it gets the hildabeast and her Foundation woes off the front page for a few very key days.
For the next few months its going to be up to us to keep the agenda where it belongs.Where the 144 FBI agents are.Looking into the criminal op of the Clinton Foundation.
Thanks RG, it needed to be said. You are right there is a group out there of first time voters waiting for November who want America back.
Eggplant.
I’m a sucker for heirlooms and traditional types, so I usually grow the Italian “Black Beauty” type tear drop shaped purple kind, but this year I got seed for a similarly shaped but white-colored kind. It was listed as having the same outstanding texture and flavor, but less bitter due to the lighter skin.
Man were they right! Best eggplant I ever grew. Seems to grow and produce better in my hot humid Alabama weather, too.
