he Democratic National Convention has been showcasing a number of “defections” from the Republican Party to back Joe Biden’s bid for the White House. Some, like Colin Powell, hadn’t voted Republican in a while so it’s hard to call them defections. But one look at other defections shows why grassroots conservatives took a chance on a billionaire New Yorker and former Democrat named Donald Trump.
As we’ve acknowledged before, Trump’s style and presidency have been anything but smooth sailing. But, like chemotherapy, he’s been an essential treatment for some very serious problems.
One of those problems was a Republican establishment that had difficulty winning national elections and standing up to the slings and arrows of the Democrats and their Leftmedia brethren. And even when Republicans won elections, they rarely seemed to advance conservative issues.
Let’s take a look at the Left’s latest media darling, John Kasich, the former Republican congressman, Ohio governor, and failed presidential candidate who was featured on the opening night of the Democrat convention. On one core issue for conservatives — national security — Kasich is responsible for helping make our position with China far weaker than it had to be. In the mid-1990s, Bill Clinton’s administration wanted to halt B-2 bomber production at 20. Many on the Republican side wanted to see at least 40 of these advanced bombers built — and that number probably should have been even higher.
Kasich, though, came through for Clinton by teaming up with hard-left Congressman Ron Dellums to support this cut, cap our B-2 production, and weaken our national security. These days, with our bomber force in a pinch and an aggressive China and a meddlesome Russia, wouldn’t America be safer with a few more B-2s on hand?

Under statement alert
Political party affiliation means less today than it ever has in my lifetime.
I can’t imagine any situation where only a B-2 will do.
Biden has Deep State Republicans.
Trump has Donald Dems.
The POTUS has accomplished many things and promises.
But flushing these GOPe/UniParty turds out from/within the GOP was one of the best things he could have done. The People finally get to see the real faces of the traitors that have been undermining them for ages.
China needs to be handled 2020 Japanese style - moving production out of China.
Putin tends to be cautious.
Brownshirts? Red Guard? No, no. Chameleon shirts just doing their part in a PSYOPS experiment, the likes of which has never been done before on Prison Planet.
LOCKDOWN
...All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels and modified by mutual interests.
However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion...
I wonder if Brandon Straka and all the loose membership of the walk-away movement fully appreciates just how much danger they’re in if the Dems actually win in Nov?
They’ll be dealt with more mercilessly than the Bolsheviks dealt with the Mensheviks.
This is a poor and ineffective rhetorical device that allow anti-Trumpers to focus on one their primary disagreements with Trump. It just shows weakness on the author's part. And com'on, man. B-2 Bombers? Why not focus on Kasich support for a demented baby killing gun grabbing Marxist? There's plenty to absolutely destroy Johnny, son of a mailman. And token Colin Powell, don't get me started.
Brilliant and precient, thanks
Strings attached and muzzled....The yawning of America....
They are excrement like very dead senator McSh*tface.
Both parties have been flooding the country with foreigners for 30 years to steal the country from the citizens.
Pinged you on Twit. Good column.
What will the cadre of anti-Trumpers say if Trump prevails again in 2020? Will they accept their eunuch status?
“defections” = defications
