If Hillary wins the country as we’ve known it is OVER!!

She will pack the courts with radical activists.
She will gut the Second Amendment.
She will import 30+ million new Democrat voters.
She will force Section 8 into every currently safe GOP district.

What about that do these cretins NOT get????
Let her finish what Obama started and you guys will
NEVER get a SECOND CHANCE. Jeb, Ted, Jonah.....

He spoke to FReepers at the pizza fest at the AIA building following the March For Justice and the Freeper cries of impeach, impeach impeach earlier in the day

It’s a good thing we didn’t elect Goldwater...he’d have started a war in Southeast Asia that would’ve killed tens of thousands of Americans.

I can forgive Jonah a bit, but he does need to come to terms with reality now.

I also was not a Trump fan, at least not for his candidacy for the Presidency. I always have believed that Donald Trump has the ability to be our Chief Executive [certainly more than Hillary who has never held an executive office]. My problem with Donald has always been his volatility, his lack of discipline and tendency to throw out epithets whenever he feels a personal affront.

However, he often also would make statements that were not PC but which were so much on target that I would sit in front of the TV set and cheer out loud. Example: when in August 2015 he was asked why he always appeared so angry, and he gave a great answer - because he saw our country being destroyed by poor leadership and that no one respected the USA anymore, etc.

After my first, second, and third choices dropped out of the race, I changed the tone of my prayers. I beseeched the Good Lord to give us a leader who would be competent and who would put our interests first, especially as to the Constitution. I told God that I would place my trust in Him. After all, God had raised up leaders of Israel in the old Testament who were not exactly choir boys, yet who were good leaders.

So, my faith is now in God, and I think He has had a hand in raising up Donald Trump at this time. He certainly is fearless, and with today’s problems, that is a good characteristic.

Shalom.

Jonah Goldberg is right about one thing: people hate the media and tune it out.

I haven’t missed two nights of the freak show watching it and still marveling at the Hillary implosion.

And their own polls show Trump well ahead. Screw ‘em.

“During the primaries, the task of exposing the true nature of the Trump takeover fell disproportionately to a few conservative magazines, columnists, renegade radio hosts, and behind-the-scenes activists. We all failed. There will be plenty of time for recriminations and “we happy few” speeches later. (If you detect a note of bitterness on my part, I’m not being clear enough: I contain symphonies of bitterness.)

We failed in part because the mainstream media were having too good of a time to help”

Trump is the Outmeister!

Thank you, Mr. Trump, for getting so many cockroaches to crawl out of their dark spaces!

Agreed. I’m a nervous wreck every time he uses twitter, :)

But he will be a great president and a great ally to Israel.

Egypt has shut down thousands of mosques, so that may be another ally in the area.

I dont see Sisi wanting trouble with Israel.

Dam Turkey coup failed.

"He got free media coverage because he agreed to be interviewed and wasn't afraid of the grilling."

False. He got free media coverage because he was bashing Republicans. His free media coverage has largely dried up, now that he's mostly bashing Hillary. (It comes back when he still bashes Republicans).

“Now that Donald Trump has been formally nominated, the formal responsibility to stop him passes from the Right to the Left, from Republicans to Democrats and the journalists who amplify their values.”

“...from Republicans to Democrats...”

amplify the values of democrats??

This man has become totally insane. I am not engaging in hyperbole. The man has lost his mind. In his mindless hatred of Trump, he embraces completely the full load of democrat demagoguery and sanctions the destruction of the United States.

I would love to corner this ass-hat wearing snob and get him to admit that Trump is running the most conservative campaign since Reagan, and admit that he has a photo album of the Bush family he keeps under his pillow.

Johah, you are NOT a conservative, just a Washington D.C. elitist scared that you may have to go out and get a real job when Trump cleans out the cesspool you wallow in.

I have often prayed that the scales be dropped from my eyes, so that I can see more clearly, and this election cycle has certainly opened my eyes to the corruption in both parties and in the media, especially “conservative” media. I wonder if Trump is the one being raised up by God, as you’ve said. We need a good strong leader.

He is lashing out at the media for not doing their job of destroying the Republican candidate? What? This is madness. I don’t think the anti Trump brigade will stop, and their attacks may become more vicious. I have never seen such a thing in my lifetime.

Are you actually saying the MSM did not attempt to demolish Trump every day, day in and day out for the entire news cycle? Are you serious?

I actually held my nose and read the first five paragraphs. If Johah hasn’t actually turned into a rabid chimp, he’s still done a total, insane, disloyal, anti-American chimp out. Now the most important thing in the world for this psychotic nut is to have the DemonCraps and liberal media team up to destroy The Donald and, by the way, the U.S., the Republican party, and Western Civilization in general by electing the most corrupt traitor in history President. Defeating Trump is the only thing that matters to him, nothing else.

‘Last spring, Stop Trump operatives told me they brought damning stories to mainstream outlets. The response was usually: “We’re not interested in covering that — RIGHT NOW.”

So Jonah, all those stories that you and your ilk passed to the Media are waiting in the wings to help Hillary!? Jonah, you have jumped the shark. You have lost your credibility. Trying to use Big Media for your own nefarious purposes will come back to bite us in the rear long about October. Go away......you have served the purpose the Left was using you for.........

That was Jonah who said that. You asked me where he claimed the media didn’t go after Trump.
