Williamson Aims At Trump’s ‘WHINOS’–and Misses The Mark

Yup

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yep. If its not Cruz or Trump in the general election you might as well start practicing saying President Clinton.

[Excellence]

Williamson is whip-smart, but a very ungracious person. I chalk it up to his immaturity.

[kingu]

Tip toe, tip toe, tip toe... RACIST XENOPHOBIC!

Yep, yep, totally ignore all that stuff about trade deals, don't pay any attention to the blasting about Iranian treaties which started with ‘Hey, I represent the American President who is desperate for something to justify his peace medal, so you can have anything you want if you just sign a piece of paper.’

Oh, and let's not even touch the whole lying unemployment numbers and the massive numbers of people leaving (and never entering) the job market, or the horrible ObamaCare fiasco.

When I was streaming Trump's speech to the big screen at the local brewery, no one complained. No one left. No one in a swiftly becoming liberal town tried to shout him down. No hispanics stood up to complain about attacks on them. They watched, they listened, for over an hour, even sticking around to watch the press questions afterward, laughing at some of the moments.

Sure, after it was over, it was switched over to one of the normal sports channels - there wasn't any grand debate afterward, but I heard ‘I like him’ over and over again.

Yes, Trump is contradictory vs his record. Yes, he's likely light on just about any conservative social issue there is. So what does the field do? Runs from everything. Excepting Ted Cruz, pretty much everyone runs from his comments.

Why? What is to be gained by that? ‘I don't want to be seen as a radical?’ Why not? I mean, seriously, what has controlling the House for 3 terms and the Senate for part of 1 gotten us? ‘Oh, we can't do that, Obama will veto it...’ And? Shove legislation through, get liberals to vote against deporting criminals, voting against saving American jobs, vote against idiotic peace accords with people who can't stop saying that they want to kill us all.

And why isn't every Republican candidate going ‘where is Michael Daniel?’ Who? You know, the cyber security tsar who apparently can't be bothered with pesky things like cyber security...

Ahh, right, the reasons are simple: Republicans let the media direct the campaign, reacting rather than being proactive. Trump is disrupting this to a point, but still being reactive rather than proactive - important issues like trade, etc are being pushed 30-40 minutes into his speech rather than being at the top, because illegal immigration is topping the speeches right now.

Republicans have a choice; they can either make news, or they can be news. Trump's shown how to make news. Other candidates might want to step up to the plate and make their own news.

Kevin Williamson, just another butt-hurt Jeb Bush groupie at the National Review.

I have liked some of his work on other issues, but this ignorant crap article indeed proves Williamson is "just another butt-hurt Jeb Bush groupie.

Williamson wouldn't recognize the Tea Party, or its motivations, if it bit him in his butt-hurt arse.

The Tea Party rose up against the fiscal excesses of the 0bama administration. It was the voice of the outcry of 'We the People' against the Big Government of 0bama (see Rick Santelli rant ... "All you capitalists that want to show up to Lake Michigan, I'm going to start organizing," he screamed on CNBC on February 19,2009). Sure there were some libertarians in the crowds but this was a Constitutional Conservative uprising against the outrageously unConstitutional democRAT party that was totally out of any fiscal control.

Of course, this same group of people comprising the Tea Party movement became equally outraged with the gOpE, after they have completely failed those of us who put them back in power in 2010, 2012 and 2014. But this was AFTER they failed to act upon what they pledged they would do if we voted for them, not at the outset of the Tea Party movement.

With this article, Williamson exposes himself as a liar, and party hack carrying water for the gOpE. FAIL.

GOPe wannabe, Kevin Williamson.

The electorate votes for the candidate “who cares the most about people like me.” This is FACT. It’s why the incompetent, half-educated, Marxist fool Obama beat the daylights out of “moderate” losers McCain and Romney, and why Mrs. Clinton leads in the polls today.

Which potential Republican nominee can best convince the un-involved, Bread & Circuses masses to vote for him or her in 2016? Be honest with yourself.

Cruz? Sorry, no. Lacks the charisma required in the shallow popularity contest that is the American presidential election.

Carson? Same.

Walker? Same.

Bush? No one except the GOPe is going to think Jebby “cares about people like me.” No one.

Fiorina? Not a chance in hell.

Kasich? Maybe, but like Rubio, he repels the conservative base.

The rest of the Republican field has no chance whatsoever. The only, the ONLY, potential Republican candidate with the charisma, the demonstrated “connection” with everyday people, the finances, and the Media savvy to win the 2016 presidential election is Donald Trump.

That is a stone-cold fact. That is reality. No Trump and Hillary is the next president. Until Williamson and the other geniuses in the “Conservative Media” realize and accept that fact they will continue to pen out-of-touch, screeds like latest from the “Whinos” in the GOPe.

[TheConservator]

Why do people like Trump? He has chosen an issue that resonates. But even more, he is the first fricken “Republican” since Ronald Reagan who understands that you need to go over the heads of the media directly to the American public.

[tophat9000]

Look.the idea that Republican to win must get the Democratic vote ...and to get the Democrat vote.... you must be a Republican in name only and a Democrat in policy.... is idiotic...your noting but and imitation at the same price.

You need to lead the people TO YOU and your principles... you know that by getting their votes... you don't convertibles your policies to the Democrats..you convert Democrats to your policies..

You do not whore yourself out to whatever you think will get you elected....

No matter how bad a true believer left wing Dem is .....

A Republican whore being a left wing Dem for votes is far worst.....

Neither side likes or trust the two face opportunist political whores

[TheConservator]

Actually, I think both Cruz and Walker could learn from Trump how it is done, and take over as standard bearer when Trump flames out, as he inevitably will.

Cruz in particular is smart as a whip, has charisma, and unlike the other Republican candidates, is paying attention to Trump’s methods. But he has to learn to stop trying to work through the media.

[jospehm20]

I agree. It is instructive to watch the uniparty hacks out themselves.

[C. Edmund Wright]

That sir, is a very good synopsis......of what Williamson has become....and on the history of the Tea Party, which Williamson is in the wrong about.

And just think, a few of us know exactly how all that got to Rush and Drudge.....(this post will self destruct in ten seconds....)

[dforest]

Yeah, I sure hope he can win like McCain and Romney did. /sarc

There may be 16 candidates, but hardly a hairs worth of difference or anything to excite the masses.

That is how you lose.

“Trump is surging for the same reason that Newt Gingrich enjoyed a brief bubble in the 2012 primary: he is taking on the media. Or, more accurately, he is being victimized by it.”

There is a world of difference between Dufus Trump Newt Gingrich. Main difference being one is a clown and one isn’t.

[Valin]

Got a 20 dollar bill that say’s you’re wrong.

[Hawthorn]

>> There is a world of difference between Dufus Trump Newt Gingrich <<

I think maybe the most telling difference is that Trump needs constantly to brag about how smart he is, whereas Newt’s IQ comes thru loud and clear in the obvious brilliance of his political analysis and his grasp of history. No bragging needed.

On the other hand, they are both men of low ethical standards — men who should never be trusted to hold a position of such moral authority as POTUS.

Beg to differ. Either you have it or you don’t and as much as I respect and admire Ted Cruz(put him on SCOTUS where he is desperately needed)he is not charismatic.

In any case, you have to be yourself. Trump plays himself. He doesn’t have to “go thru”, around or over the Media because, like Ronald Reagan before him, Trump is BIGGER than the Media.

The Media didn’t create Barack Hussein Obama but they were the shield and sword for the worst president in American history. The Media later tried to make the Manchurian Candidate Obama into something he obviously wasn’t but the sentient half of the American people saw right through it.

Trump, as he has shown, will turn that shield and sword against the Media. The harder the corrupt and biased Media swings that sword at Trump, the deeper they will cut themselves. A President Trump won’t need the Media but the Media sure as hell will need HIM.

[central_va]

valid point that conservatives who favor ideological purity or populist venting over electability are going to lose a lot of elections

Dole,McCain and Romney could not be reached for comment.

[odawg]

“Trump and his Trumpkins can really dish it out but can’t take it so well.”

When do you decide that Trump cannot take it? Could it be it is when Trump throws it back in their face?

[bkepley]

It’s when he gets mad and acts like an ass with his I’m rich so you shut up argument.

[odawg]

“It’s when he gets mad and acts like an ass with his I’m rich so you shut up argument.”

He is not being criticized for using that kind of argument; you must be the only one has heard him use it as a “shut up” argument. He does talk about being rich, but in a matter-of -fact way because he is taunting the opposition. He is telling them he can’t be bought.
