When Andy Jackson was robbed of the presidency by Congress, fights broke out across the country. Speaking of Jackson, in his day an insult was settled by pistol duels. He killed several people that way, including a lawyer who had 26 previous duel kills to his name.
Abraham Lincoln had to deal with a Civil War. A multitude of Presidents (mostly dems) have had torrid affairs while holding office. Truman's and LBJ's language would make a sailor blush.
So Jimmy, stop with the pearl clutching, you pussy. The bottom line is you hate Trump, despite the fact that the conservative base of this country finds him to be the best thing since Reagan. You hate him because he's not a neocon like your fellow liberals at NR.
You and the open borders parasites at NR can take a flying leap. (I will note that McCarthy, VD Hanson, and Krikorien plan to vote Trump). Trump is finally kicking in the teeth of the Media, and due strictly to your idiotic choices at NR, that Media includes your rag. Which BTW has seen a precipitous drop in readership.
+1 Perfect summary.
The media gave us Trump as they thought he was the most defeat able. His press during the primaries was very good. They turned on him like pack of hungry jackals 10 seconds after he won the nomination.
The press also gave us Hillary Clinton and have supported her in the primaries and general.
The bucket of deplorable is the press. They do lie outright and also lie by omission of anything bad for Hillary. If the press were honest she would be way down in the polls.
Good on you, for posting some factual history, but you left out the fact that Mrs. Jackson was under such stress from the terrible smears and mud slinging, that she died shortly after Andy became the president.
These "look down their noses" damned GOPEers, are morons! We wanted ( still want Trump); however, Hillary was FORCED on the populace by the the DEM "elites", big corporations, a lot of GOPers,and Soros and FOREIGN money!
Jim Geraghty , an irreverent idiot looking for a way to pay his Obamacare bill.
What is the matter with NR?
Have they lost their collective minds?
Have they been infiltrated by Hillary’s goons?
NRO....the home of idiots
Spineless turds like the ones at National Review are what gave us Trump.
DFW Market - Can’t stand to listen to Jimmy boy. Makes the stomach churn. Dislike him so intently when his name is mentioned I’ve forgotten who he is. That helps, but only at times.
Just another wolf in sheep’s clothing.

“When Donald Trump and I observe that, as I’ve said, in Syria, in Iran, in Ukraine, that the small and bullying leader of Russia has been stronger on the world stage than this administration, that’s stating painful facts. That’s not an endorsement of Vladimir Putin — that’s an indictment of the weak and feckless leadership of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.”
______________________________
Also from the Oct 5, 2016 first VP debate...
QUIJANO (Moderator): I want to turn now to Syria. Two hundred fifty thousand people, 100,000 of them children, are under siege in Aleppo, Syria. Bunker buster bombs, cluster munitions, and incendiary weapons are being dropped on them by Russian and Syrian militaries. Does the U.S. have a responsibility to protect civilians and prevent mass casualties on this scale, Governor Pence?
PENCE: The United States of America needs to begin to exercise strong leadership to protect the vulnerable citizens and over 100,000 children in Aleppo. Hillary Clinton’s top priority when she became secretary of state was the Russian reset, the Russians reset.
After the Russian reset, the Russians invaded Ukraine and took over Crimea.
And the small and bullying leader of Russia is now dictating terms to the United States to the point where all the United States of America — the greatest nation on Earth — just withdraws from talks about a cease-fire while Vladimir Putin puts a missile defense system in Syria while he marshals the forces and begins — look, we have got to begin to lean into this with strong, broad-shouldered American leadership.
It begins by rebuilding our military. And the Russians and the Chinese have been making enormous investments in the military. We have the smallest Navy since 1916. We have the lowest number of troops since the end of the Second World War. We’ve got to work with Congress, and Donald Trump will, to rebuild our military and project American strength in the world.
But about Aleppo and about Syria, I truly do believe that what America ought to do right now is immediately establish safe zones, so that families and vulnerable families with children can move out of those areas, work with our Arab partners, real time, right now, to make that happen.
And secondly, I just have to tell you that the provocations by Russia need to be met with American strength.
And if Russia chooses to be involved and continue, I should say, to be involved in this barbaric attack on civilians in Aleppo, the United States of America should be prepared to use military force to strike military targets of the Assad regime to prevent them from this humanitarian crisis that is taking place in Aleppo.
There’s a broad range of other things that we ought to do, as well. We ought to deploy a missile defense shield to the Czech Republic and Poland which Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama pulled back on out of not wanting to offend the Russians back in 2009.
QUIJANO: Governor, your two minutes are up.
PENCE: We’ve just got to have American strength on the world stage. When Donald Trump becomes president of the United States, the Russians and other countries in the world will know they’re dealing with a strong American president.

And....
PENCE: What we’re dealing with is the — you know, there’s an old proverb that says the Russian bear never dies, it just hibernates.
And the truth of the matter is, the weak and feckless foreign policy of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has awakened an aggression in Russia that first appeared a few years ago with their move in Georgia, now their move into Crimea, now their move into the wider Middle East.
And all the while, all we do is fold our arms and say we’re not having talks anymore.
To answer your question, we just need American strength. We need to — we need to marshal the resources of our allies in the region, and in the immediate, we need to act and act now to get people out of harm’s way.
"according to some calculations, the Uranium One deal, involving top Clinton donors Frank Guistra and Ian Telfer, has transferred as much as 50 percent of projected American uranium production to Kremlin control."
***********************************************
RUSSIAGATE
Who paid Bill Clinton's $2.5 million commission and $500k speaking fee for brokering the sale of 20% of America's uranium deposits to Russia?
You are speaking about a really interesting deal that ended up giving Vladimir Putin and the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States.
Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. ..."
Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to "show his manhood."
The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further.
"We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time," Trump said. ..."

"Obama was talking with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev when neither of them realized that their conversation was being picked up by microphones. Here is what they said:
Obama: "On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it's important for him to give me space."
Medvedev: "Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you ..."
Obama: "This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility."
Medvedev: "I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir."
"This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility." That statement tells us much about the president's mindset.
The specific mention of missile defense is worrisome enough. Mr. Obama has retreated from the missile defense plan that was negotiated with European allies during the George W. Bush administration.
Apparently, he is signaling Moscow that he intends to retreat further. The clear implication from the president's comments is that he cannot tell the American people before the election what he plans to do after the election.
In addition, there is the phrase "on all these issues," implying more is at stake than just missile defense."
Article: Obama plans double cross on missile defense
When it comes to keeping America safe, we shouldn't be too flexible:

So glad NRO is staying the course so we can’t forget who they are and what treachery they have committed.
The National Review doing its part to suppress voter turnout. Do you think Obama has told them all if Trump wins he will start a nuclear war?
Why can no commentary among conservatives ever put the blame for this election where it belongs? Those responsible are Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, John Boehner and that ilk.
I was a Cruz supporter. I hope he is reelected to the Senate. Nevertheless, I want Trump to win the big show.
Is he flawed? Of course he is. That's a hazard in getting your recruits from the human race. Do we need him despite his flaws? Where do we begin?
There is so much corruption in DC, we may not be able to fix it short of vaporizing many square miles while all the politicians are there. Do we need to fix it?
The short of it is, clinton is so utterly corrupt that putting her in charge of the corrupt FBI, the corrupt IRS, the corrupt... (let the litany continue)... would not be simply wrong.
If clinton wins, we no longer have a country.
We’ve always said we had to seize control of GOP away from the GOPe who have stolen it from us. So finally we’ve done that. And they are mad as hornets, and prepared to sink their own party rather than lose it to the membership.
Trump people are the GOP rank and file. They will not forgive this. If Trump wins, the party gets new life, albeit under new management, that is, its members. If he loses, I can’t see any Trump guy voting for anyone with an R next to his name again, not ever. But if that happens the country will be in such serious straits that the fate of the party will be small potatoes compared to the bigger picture.
Thanks piss-ant (I tried to type “piss-ant” as one word, but
it changed your name to “puissant” or something like that.
I thought that looked too much like something BILL CLINTON
would say, so I retyped it as “piss-ant”.) :O)
DONALD J. TRUMP has EARNED this damned Republican
nomination FAIR & SQUARE!! Ted Cruz’s petulant behavior
when TRUMP allowed him to speak at the Republican
Convention (& then doubled down on it the next day) just
highlighted that the voters made the RIGHT CHOICE!
FANG & I voted Cruz in the primary. NO MORE!! We both are
walking barefoot over rough gravel, over the woods and
thru the woods on election day to VOTE TRUMP/PENCE!!
