GOP lawmakers: We’re fine with Trump in race
The Hill ^ | 06/18/15 | Jonathan Easley and Cristina Marcos

Posted on 09/14/2015 2:26:38 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal

Republicans on Capitol Hill welcomed Donald Trump to the presidential race Wednesday, 24 hours after the property tycoon announced his candidacy with a bizarre and combative speech in New York.

(SNIP)

“I have every confidence that Republican voters are intelligent enough to know what to take seriously about Mr. Trump and what not to take seriously,” said Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.), arguing Trump will “bring certain things up” that others might seek to sweep under the rug.

(SNIP)

“I want him to be as entertaining as possible because that brings more American voters to watch our debates,” said Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.). “I believe that his chances of prevailing are extraordinarily remote, but in the meantime, he’ll be fun to watch.”

(SNIP)

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) said he gained enormous respect for Trump after meeting him personally. Wilson said his son Alan Wilson has worked with Trump in his capacity as attorney general for South Carolina.

(SNIP)

Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.) said he has a “very difficult time taking [Trump] seriously.”

“If he is going to have the impact of kicking a serious candidate off the dais for the first debate, I hope he takes it just as seriously as the person he kicks off,” Mulvaney said.

1.Denial — The first reaction is denial. In this stage individuals believe the diagnosis is somehow mistaken, and cling to a false, preferable reality.

2.Anger — When the individual recognizes that denial cannot continue, it becomes frustrated, especially at proximate individuals. Certain psychological responses of a person undergoing this phase would be: “Why me? It’s not fair!”; “How can this happen to me?”; ‘”Who is to blame?”; “Why would this happen?”.

3.Bargaining — The third stage involves the hope that the individual can avoid a cause of grief. Usually, the negotiation for an extended life is made in exchange for a reformed lifestyle. People facing less serious trauma can bargain or seek compromise.

4.Depression — “I’m so sad, why bother with anything?”; “I’m going to die soon so what’s the point?”; “I miss my loved one, why go on?”
During the fourth stage, the individual becomes saddened by the mathematical probability of death. In this state, the individual may become silent, refuse visitors and spend much of the time mournful and sullen.

5.Acceptance — “It’s going to be okay.”; “I can’t fight it, I may as well prepare for it.”; “Nothing is impossible.”
In this last stage, individuals embrace mortality or inevitable future, or that of a loved one, or other tragic event.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) laughed and shook his head as he said, “No comment.”

“I have given no thought to Donald Trump’s candidacy,” Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said.

Terrible comments. Surprised by Tom Cotton.

Rohrabacher looks like a classic Stage 5. “Will bring things up others will sweep under the rug” He was my congressman before reapportionment. I now have lefty donk Lowenstein

And look where Trump is today!!!

Yep, I just bet your ok with this...NOT!!!

You are loosing your butts and don’t know what to do, you try to dig up dirt, doesn’t work; you try your hardest to be mean to him, makes him go up in the polls; you get your ‘money bags’ people to shut him up, we love him more...

When you get your heads out of your butts and read the name on the back of your belts, and know who you are, you might wake up and find out that WE the VOTERS are running this campaign this time....not the GOPee, media, washington cartel, RINOs or whatever group...

WE the American Voters are going to decide THIS TIME who WE want!!!

I just found this on facebook....its a good read and true!!!

Sandra Cathcart
32 mins

Something to think about... Some, most, or all of this might very well be true.

The dogs of hell have been unleashed on
Donald Trump. For him or against him, this
is an interesting read... It’s going to be an exciting year with Donald in the race...
Some people are getting very nervous:
Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder,
Hillary Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name
just a few.
It’s about the unholy dynamics between big government, big business and big media.
They all benefit by the billions of dollars
from this partnership, and it’s in all of their interests to protect one another. It’s one
for all and all for one. It’s a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy
rich — everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. We’re the patsies.
But for once, the powerful socialist cabal
and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared.
I’ve never seen them this outraged, this
vicious, this motivated or this coordinated. Never in all my years in politics have I seen anything like the way the mad dogs of hell
have been unleashed on Donald Trump. The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians
of both parties, the media and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift
and insanely angry that it suggests they
are all threatened and frightened like
never before.
Donald Trump can self-fund that amount tomorrow and still have another billion left
over to pour into the last two-week stretch
run before Election Day. No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business
and political elite understand that Trump is
no joke. He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart. It’s no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy
“The Donald”. It’s because most of the other politicians are part of the “old boys club”.
They talk big, but in the end they won’t
change a thing. They are all beholden to
big-money donors. They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations and
multinational corporations like Big Pharma
or Big Oil. Or they are owned lock, stock
and barrel by foreigners like George Soros
owns Obama or foreign governments own
Hillary with their Clinton Foundation
donations.
These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money. But
there’s one man — and only one man — who
isn’t beholden to anyone. There’s one man
who doesn’t need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the
United Auto Workers, or the teachers union,
or the Service Employees International Union,
or the bar association to fund his campaign. Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn’t need anyone’s help. That means he doesn’t care what the media says. He doesn’t care what the corporate elites think. That
makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests. That makes Trump a huge threat. Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters.
Don’t you ever wonder why the GOP has
never tried to impeach Obama? Don’t you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch
McConnell talk a big game, but never actually
try to stop Obama? Don’t you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet has
never tried to defund Obamacare or
Obama’s clearly illegal executive action
on amnesty for illegal aliens? Bizarre, right?
It defies logic, right? First, I’d guess many
key Republicans are being bribed.
Secondly, I believe many key Republicans
are being blackmailed. Whether they are
having affairs, or secretly gay, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security
Agency knows everything. Ask former
House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that.
The government even knew he was
withdrawing large sums of his own money
from his own bank account.
Trust me: The NSA, the SEC, the IRS and
all the other three-letter government
agencies are watching every Republican
political leader. They know everything.
Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of
being called “racists.” So they are scared to
ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes,
let alone demand his impeachment. Fourth,
why rock the boat? After defeat or retirement,
if you’re a “good boy”, you’ve got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting. The big-money interests have the system gamed. Win or
lose, they win.
But Trump doesn’t play by any of these rules. Trump breaks up this nice, cozy relationship between big government, big media and big business. All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the presidency. The other
politicians will protect Obama and his aides — but not Trump. Remember: Trump is the
guy who publicly questioned Obama’s birth certificate. He questioned Obama’s college records and how a mediocre student got into
an Ivy League university. Now, he’s doing something no Republican has the chutzpah
to do. He’s questioning our relationship with Mexico; questioning why the border is wide open; questioning why no wall has been built across the border; questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in
our best interests; questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes yet are
not deported; and questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are
so bad.
Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end
of the stick. Good question. I’m certain
Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michelle Obama
at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare website. By the way, that tab
is now up to $5 billion.
Trump will ask if Obamacare’s architects can
be charged with fraud for selling it by lying. Trump will investigate Obama’s widespread
IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama’s
college records. Trump will prosecute
Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to
cover up Benghazi before the election. How about the fraud committed by employees of
the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election?
Obama, the multinational corporations and
the media need to stop this. They recognize
this could get out of control. If left unchecked telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Trump could
wake a sleeping giant. Trump’s election
would be a nightmare. Obama has committed many crimes. No one else but Trump would
dare to prosecute. He will not hesitate.
Once Trump gets in and gets a look at “the cooked books” and Obama’s records, the
game is over - The gig is up - The goose is cooked. Holder could wind up in prison.
Jarrett could wind up in prison. Obama
bundler Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money.
Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting
32,000 emails, or for accepting bribes from foreign governments while secretary of state,
or for “misplacing” $6 billion as the head of
the State Department, or for lying about Benghazi. The entire upper level management
of the IRS could wind up in prison. Obamacare will be defunded and dismantled. The Obama crime family will be prosecuted for crimes against the American people. And Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters. Trump will investigate. Trump will prosecute. Trump will go after everyone involved. That’s why the dogs of hell have
been unleashed on Donald Trump.
Yes, it’s become open season on Donald Trump. The left and the right are determined to
attack his policies, harm his businesses, and,
if possible, even keep him out of the coming debates. But they can’t silence him. And
they sure can’t intimidate him. The more
they try, the more the public will realize that
he’s the one telling the truth. And the left
can’t stand that.

““I respect him,” Mica said. “He’s got his own perspective and following. But I think people take it within context.”

We have, which is why we’re ready to hand him the nomination.

If any of those clowns think we are going to all at once support one of their harem of Wall Street/CoC whores, they are totally mistaken.

We do not trust them. It really isn’t that we dislike them, we loathe them for ruining our Country.
