On Trump and his voters, Fox News host Laura Ingraham errs: Trump's supporters are NOT being exhausted by his ‘constant battles.’

Fox News host Laura Ingraham recently said Americans might be ready “to turn the page” on President Trump as he decides whether to run for president a third time.

Ingraham said the following during an appearance on Lisa Boothe’s podcast.

"The country I think is so exhausted. They’re exhausted by the battle, the constant battle, that they may believe that, well, maybe it’s time to turn the page if we can get someone who has all Trump’s policies, who’s not Trump.”

The mainstream media, which is a mouthpiece for the Democrats, carried this news with glee, claiming that Ingraham was turning on Trump.

This is the sort of news that the Democrats dream of – a prominent conservative commentator claiming that people are sick of Trump. The hope is that someday everyone abandons Trump.

They have been running a campaign against Donald Trump since Donald Trump began his political career seven years ago, when he descended from the Trump Tower escalator to announce that he was running for president.

Back to Laura Ingraham’s remarks.

Had Ingraham been an inexperienced commentator who erroneously and naively believed that the other side is fair, her comments would be forgiven.

But Ingraham has been in politics and the media since the ‘80s, as she was a speechwriter for Reagan.

Surely, she knows who the Democrats really are.

Did Ingraham forget how the Democrats attacked Reagan rather savagely when he was president, baselessly calling him senile, compromised, and corrupt?

Did Ingraham forget how the Democrats despised George H. W. Bush and openly sided with Bill Clinton during their presidential race in 1992?

Did Ingraham forget how the Democrats claimed that Al Gore had won the 2000 presidential elections and that George W. Bush was an illegitimate president?

Did Ingraham forget how they compared Dick Cheney to Darth Vader and how they portrayed George W. Bush as a vacuous, bigoted, sexist, mass murderer?

Did Ingraham forget how John McCain was called a senile bigot and his adopted daughter from Bangladesh became the target of a nasty Democrat whisper campaign that he had fathered a black child out of wedlock?

Did Ingraham forget how the Democrat twisted Romney’s innocuous remarks to characterize him as sexist, heartless, and money-minded?

McCain became a hero once he attacked Trump; he attained legendary status when he allowed his funeral to become an anti-Trump event. Romney and even Bush are now treated with respect because they attacked Trump.

What does Laura think will happen if Trump is replaced by this mythical candidate “who has all Trump’s policies, who’s not Trump”?

Ingraham must understand that the attacks are not against individuals but rather anybody who dares to challenge them.

Even if by some miracle the current Democrat favorite and useful idiot Liz Cheney wins the GOP nomination, she will be attacked with all the usual pejorative epithets.

The reason all Democrats and some Republicans despise Trump and torment him with gratuitous investigations is that he has challenged the status quo. Trump had pledged to dismantle the ecosystem that has made them rich and powerful.

How should one react when your representative or leader or a loved one is needlessly persecuted?

You strengthen your support for the persecuted. To claim to be exhausted by the relentless battles is to in some way accept the narrative of the persecutor. It is the equivalent of victim-blaming.

The fact that Trump managed to raise millions of dollars after the raids on his Mar-a-Lago home, proves that the people know very well what is going on and are standing by their leader.

Ingraham must understand that the attacks against Trump were largely due to what he stands for. What enrages the Democrats further is that Trump appears to be impervious to their attacks. He gleefully derides and mocks them on various occasions. They were accustomed to Republicans suffering in silence.

No, you give her too much credit.

Laura is compromised.

Read SeekAndFind’s post above yours.

There is no excuse for what she wrote.

She knows better.

She is lying.

Laura is a quitter.. She was throwing in the towel at 8:30 pm election night 2015. Her and her weirdass smile annoy me.

We are in a fight with the forces of evil. If you ain’t gonna fight, Laura, then just get out of the way and STFU.

She showed herself to be an extreme mental lightweight by believing that someone other than Trump would end the political strife. At this point, nothing she says is worth hearing.

Laura Ingraham must understand that the only way to stop ‘constant battles’ is to surrender before the Democrats and accept anything they desire without even a smidgen of doubt or question. If it isn’t Trump, it will be somebody else.

We better not be exhausted. The midterms are not shaping up the way they are due to exhaustion. It is critical to have correct expectations this November. We won’t have a filibuster proof Senate or the White Hut. RINO will still rein supreme in the Senate. This is a multi election cycle process. There is no room for exhaustion. Democrats don’t give up and neither should we.

She most likely speaks to only GOPe types and forms her opinions from those observations.

She doesn’t get out and rub elbows with the hoi-polloi and find out real every day peoples problems and fears..................

The left has so infiltrated this site. There seem to be so few conservative posters. Constantly tearing down rather than building up.

I saw that on tv a few days ago and it pissed me off. If she thinks the voters are “exhausted,” she should spend one day in Trump’s shoes and go back SIX YEARS in his shoes.

Laura is a closet Never Trumper. She helped FNC push the narrative that the cheating story was “baseless”.
