Are Liberals Responsible for the Rise of Donald Trump?

>Somewhat of a crock. Yes, the liberals are a cause, but the GOPe is a signiicant >contributing factor.

I have wondered what the lower case “e” in GOPe stood for. It finally dawned on me—it is for excrement. All makes sense now.

The answer to the title question is yes and no.

The question needs to be clarified. First of all, there are no more Liberals, there are only Progressive Starists and they are on both sides of the political aisle. It is these Progressive Statists and the fact that the Republican Insiders are also Progressive Statists that caused the rise of Donald Trump. The insiders left an opening big enough to create a leadership vacuum and in slid Donald Trump.

Obama and the left told us in 2008 that they were planning to create a country like France with a single giant union that supports the far left government. That is what we are seeing.

I believe that it is the Unions that are controlling the Republican Insiders, particularly, the coal unions. I can explain my theory if anyone is interested. Just note which states the Patriot mines were located and look at the lack of help from the Republican Insiders.

I don’t disagree with either of you. Winning requires a complete campaign.

Republicans win on issues; lose on ad hominem. That is true. But the issues have to be effectively marketed, just a any other product is effectively marketed. Example.

Chicago NW burbs’ TeaParty-Joe Walsh won in 2010 on issues and ground game. For re-election he was given the election on a silver platter. Local Dems raised taxes and the Democrat working class homeowners were pissed. They were paying their mortgage and taxes on houses far under water. They were angry that the local Dems treated them this way and were in open rebellion.

So what did Joe Walsh do? He criticized his quadraplegic Veteran opponent for exaggerating her military record. Well those working class Democrats are veterans. Their father or uncle is a veteran. They did not take kindly to critizing a veteran.

Walsh’s campaign staff had advised him to exploit the tax issue. But the blew it off. He lost the election right there in Summer.

After the Murdoch and Aiken debacles, Walsh went out of his way to say he was Pro-life no exceptions. It was stupid to add the words -no-exceptions-. The issue in congress is funding abortions. Again, that was against the advice of his campaign staff.

That is a good example of why we lose.

Could it just just just possibly be that 'Americans agreeing with Donald Trump' is responsible for the rise of Donald Trump? Could it be that Americans connect 'I agree with what he says he'll do' with 'I'll trust him that he'll do it' and even though maybe a guy like Donald Trump isn't the first person you'd trust, since the others are all far behind, then the 'Rise of Donald Trump' is merely free men acting rationally in their own self interest picking the least worst alternative and that for once in a long time maybe it's not merely least worst, but not bad at all?

Do liberals think everything happens because of them? (that of course is rhetorical - there is no free thought, there are only the ignorant and the responses of the ignorant to liberals trying to make the world better by controlling and manipulating the ignorant.)

Much of this I've learned from reading stuff by academics, who are the masters of acceptable language. As an example: if you were to call something "black behavior," you'd probably get mauled. The solution? Call it "behavior stereotypically coded as black." This accomplishes so many things at once. However, it's also phraseology that no ordinary person would ever think of. This means they literally have no acceptable way of expressing the original thought, which makes them feel silenced.



What a steaming crock of narcissistic self aggrandizement.

“And let’s be honest: we liberals do tend to yell racism a little more often than we should.”

That sentence alone would be enough to get someone driven out of Yale. The author overestimates his PC navigation skills. And by the New Standard, he’s just outed himself as a racist.
