Donald Trump announced his intentions to run for President on June 16th, 2015; one hundred days ago.
Wow, what a hundred days it has been.
In the past 100 days we have found out that virtually every espoused position of the “conservative media” was a total ruse. The Salem Media group primarily among them.
Red State (Eric Erickson) now finds himself proclaiming that Jeb Bush is the most conservative governor he’s ever known. Web sites like Twitchy, Hot Air, Human Events, Michelle Malkin and National Review suddenly singing the praises of a Jeb Bush they formerly said was just another GOP establishment sell out.
Jeb goes from RINO villain to GOP hero faster than you can say Donald Trump.
“Conservative” punditry like George Will, Charles Krauthammer, Stephen Hayes, Charles Lane, Rich Lowry, Jonah Goldberg and many more opining on all media a previously hidden “open borders” position. All of a sudden they are telling us walls will never work, illegal aliens are the bedrock of the U.S. social fabric and it’s profoundly unfair to even contemplate their deportation. Oh, the humanity.
That’s a serious dose of sunlight upon a previously hidden agenda.
Wow, what a ride.
McConnell and BoehnerOn the legislative side John Boehner and Mitch McConnell have worked earnestly to insure Obamacare is never removed, the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal (Fast Track) is structured to insure passage -and destruction of the middle class- with 51 yea votes; and providing Iran with nuclear weapons is similarly fast-tracked using the same legislative threshold.
Who would have thought?
Oh yeah, but don’t expect them to use “reconciliation” (51 votes) for the Federal budget; nope, NO BUDGET – preferring instead to retain the formerly Democrat process of Continuing Resolutions (CR) to fund the government.
The 2016 fiscal year begins in five days and with full control of the House and Senate the Republicans instead choose to skip a budget and use a CR. That’s a gobsmacking reversal of positions they formerly railed against as they requested electoral support.
The GOP claimed the 2014 Mid-Terms hung on the tenuous position: ‘if only they were given control of both chambers of Congress they would stop this deficit usurpation’. So we gave it, and what? Oh yeah, they did the exact opposite.
Senators, and Presidential Candidates, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz both voting to allow the destruction of the Middle Class (Trade Deal) and offering up 40% of the global production to Wall Street and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce hell bent on outsourcing. Voting on other stuff in the Senate, nah…. no biggie.
Wow, who knew?
In the past 100 days the curtain of Fox News has been pulled back to showcase the underlying progressive agenda, and even CNN appears more honest by comparison.
The architects of the Mississippi race-baiting ads (and paying Dems for votes in the primary), scuttled off to join Team Scott Walker and Team Rick Perry in their respective presidential bids – only to go down in flames after their candidates came out in favor of the above GOPe agenda writ large. DUH !
And now we watch eight of the remaining candidates working collectively to deliver Jeb Bush:
Carly Fiorina, Marco Rubio, Mike Huckabee, Chris Christie, Jim Gilmore, George Pataki, John Kasich and Lindsey Graham…
…all supporting Common Core, Comprehensive Immigration Reform including a pathway to citizenship, expansion of Medicare, the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal and retention of various forms of ObamaCare. What a jaw-dropping shift in publicly proclaimed views from before June 16th.
Unreal.
Florida, Ohio, Colorado, North Carolina, Virginia, Washington State, and God-only-knows who else, all desperately scrambling to adjust their primary calendars and GOP state party rules to benefit a similar progressive outcome – the coronation of Jeb Bush.
AND… in each and every instance we are seeing the real ideology, intents and motives, that laid hidden just below the surface.
Well, that is, hidden prior to the entry of candidate Donald Trump who has single-handedly pulled back the covers and laid bare their deception. Topped off yesterday with the U.S. Speaker of the House John Boehner bailing out just before the explosion of an awakened electorate upon them.
Stunning, just STUNNING.
My, oh my. If Donald Trump can accomplish all of this in just 100 days of a candidacy – just imagine what this glorious bastard will reveal in 100 days of a presidency?
My dream is for Trump supporters to start wearing special uniforms. Brown shirts in particular. It would suit some of them very well and that way we could know, like you, who they really are.
Amen! I pray for Trump! I do believe he is being used by God. Let’s give him support. I go on his Twitter page and offer Scripture to him.
Thanks!
Big league historic stuff here. Some of us knew this and Trump put it up coast to coast front and center.
It's great watching most in the deceptive MSM running for the tall grass like they're being chased by a herd of AIDs infected pit bulls.
‘I am sick to death of you and the others who come on FR day after day attacking a man who is giving up his comfortable life, his money, and his good name to fight for you ungrateful so called “conservatives”’
+1!
Good idea!
LOL! I can picture it!
Most of these folks are on the BG payroll or are connected in one form or another. Special interest insiders are tearing this country apart and have been for many decades. It's a decline powered by deceit and greed.
Big league ugly evil stuff.
Okay. Well good. I’m glad.
I didn’t know all the particulars but it didn’t sound good.
If it’s far removed from him, excellent.
What was Cruz’s comments on that?
Yeah free speech is a b..ch, but then you are not obligated to read or respond to posts or opinions you find politically sickening.
I haven’t seen the Trump giving up anything, except “The Apprentice” ... He’s a showman in his element, loving every second of it. He’s only fighting for face time, like all showman.
And in case you haven’t watched all those other networks lately - Fox is wayyyy better.
Donald only succeeded in business because his father gave him one to run. Governing a country is not the same proposition. Eliminating all the governors running leaves us open to another inexperienced Obama type. Rather the devil you know, then the one you do not.
And with the Trump and his Trumpeters destroying every Republican candidate because they aren’t conservative enough, the rest of us will either have the choice of a man who cannot be elected (Trump), or Bush the likely odds-on favorite to win the nomination, and then he’ll lose to HC in the general as his policies are too similar to HC’s.
So there still is a good bet that we will still see the Bush vs HC or BS in the general, despite all the whining and gnashing of teeth on FR.
You Trumpeters will go third party, sit home smelling your socks, or write in, further swinging the election to HC et al.
I haven’t seen him address it yet.
Just looked around a bit and didn’t find anything.
He gave up nothing? No risk for Trump speaking the truth?
So being threatened by mass murdering international drug cartel kingpins worth billions, among others, has no risk either?
It’s not Trump or his supporters fault if your candidate can’t run a winning campaign.
He has shown them all how to do it successfully but all they do is attack him, thereby his supporters.
It only came out yesterday. He’ll have something to say soon I’m sure.
You try running for President, and have everything you’ve ever said and everything you’ve ever done, be scrutinized to the hilt. Would you give up a cushy life to have to endure that?
