Scarborough: Everybody’s Talking About Trump’s ‘Mental Health’
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/02/2016 5:41:55 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On Morning Joe, in the wake of recent comments by Donald Trump including his criticism of the Gold Star Khan family, Joe Scarborough says that he has been contacted by Republicans, conservatives and what the media would call “right-wing bloggers” to inquire about Trump’s “mental health.” Scarborough says “everybody” is talking about it.

Scarborough went on to say “I’ve known him for a decade, never seen him act like this before. It’s unhinged, not the Donald Trump I’ve known for over a decade. I never have seen anything remotely resembling this type of behavior from a guy who I’ve known and liked and called a friend.”

Mental health is the subject? What about the pathological liar on the other side. A person that has spent her entire life lying, cheating, stealing and only thinking about herself in every instance.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Mr. Trump.

Anyone who thinks Hillary is worthy of the office of President are the ones with the mental illness.

Here is the difference. Up to and including now, I have been seeing November as voting "for" and not voting "against". It is what Trump refers to as the "movement". If Trump loses that, he will lose big as there won't be enthusiasm for voting against. Voting against as a platform would never fill Trump's venues.

Why would Trump willingly cede the movement? STAY ON THE ISSUES. Build the wall already... For example.

Why would these people be contacting Scarborough other than they’re globalists wanting to derail Trump?

Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals used to marginalize enemies.

Saul Alinsky’s Rules from Rules for Radicals

Saul Alinsky describes 24 rules in Rules for Radicals. Of those 24 rules, 13 are rules of “power tactics”:

1. “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.”

2. “Never go outside the experience of your people.”

3. “Wherever possible go outside of the experience of the enemy.”

4. “Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.”

5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

6. “A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.”

7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”

8. “Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.”

9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”

10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”

11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside.”

12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”

13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

The remaining 11 rules Alinsky describes are concerned with “the ethics of means and ends”:

1. “One’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s personal interest in the issue … Accompanying this rule is the parallel one that one’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s distance from the scene of conflict.”

2. “The judgment of the ethics of means is dependent upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.”

3. “In war the end justifies almost any means.”

4. “Judgment must be made in the context of the times in which the action occurred and not from any other chronological vantage point.”

5. “Concern with ethics increases with the number of means available and vice versa.”

6. “The less important the end to be desired, the more one can afford to engage in ethical evaluations of means.”

7. “Generally success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics.”

8. “The morality of a means depends upon whether the means is being employed at a time of imminent defeat or imminent victory.”

9. “Any effective means is automatically judged by the opposition as being unethical.”

10. “You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments.”

11. “Goals must be phrased in general terms like ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,’ ‘Of the Common Welfare,’ ‘Pursuit of Happiness,’ or ‘Bread and Peace.’”

No doubt in my mind that the fabricated Kahn story is what’s the real reason Trump’s numbers are down in all these polls coming
out. He had a great convention. The polls said that last week. Now all the sudden a CNN poll comes out and says the RNC was a failure, and Trump actually went down in favorability ratings after the convention, which anyone with a brain knows is lie. And of course they say Clinton went up. His speech was seen by 5 million more people than Clinton’s and everyone last week said it was a great speech, except of course the liberals who hate him. Her speech was panned. Now the CNN poll says Clinton’s speech was great and Trump’s terrible. CNN poll also says that 3/4s of people don’t like Mike Pence, and like Tim Kaine better. Same goes for Trump’s children. All the praise that was heaped on them last week disappeared in the CNN poll and now Trumps children are not liked and 3/4s of people say they should have no part in the convention. Of course Chelsea Clinton was seen as being a positive. So here’s what we have. For three weeks Trump has been blasting away at CNN for negative coverage and refuses to go on their show. Hours before they came out with their BS poll yesterday he tweeted 5 or 6 times slamming CNN’s coverage of him. Sandwiched in between his fight with CNN they trot out the Clinton cronie named Kahn to slam Trump 24/7 and defame his character to the point that Trump should press charges against him. So Trump going down in the polls has been orchestrated entirely by CNN and their negative reporting and using Kahn as their new hero of the week to take down Trump. All the other liberal polls that came out this morning basically parrot CNN. Trump didn’t go from having a very good convention in one week to now everyone thinking his convention was terrible. It’s all BS but that’s how the Clinton News Network controls the narrative.

Remember how ALL of the MSM used the term “dark” to describe his convention speech?

I have noticed that the new themes for MSM are (1) Donald’s “temperament” and (2) trying to find something to tie him to Russia/Putin.

They will beat these ideas to death, until they are given orders by the HRC camp to sing a different verse. All of the MSM is corrupt, IMHO.

Accusing opponents and adversaries of mental health instability is one of liberals’ favorite modern weapons.

It’s a form of mental abuse intended to frustrate, beat down, and exhaust the target.

Lot’s of people here on FR complain and worry about Trump’s ego. They are falling for the media’s BS. If he didn’t have a strong ego, he would crumple under the pressure of the Dems and their media helpers.

Oh Puh-lease!! The media isn’t used to a Republican candidate actually defending the attacks against him. I hope this all backfires on the media and people see this for what it is.

Neither can the sheeple. It's the issues, stupid. Trump has to pick three (security, jobs, taxes, e.g.) and hammer them home relentlessly. Tilting at windmills (aka the Kahn family) is a waste of valuable time and resources.
