Donald J. Trump Statement on Politically Motivated Letter
Trump-Pence ^ | August 8 2016 | Donald J Trump

Posted on 08/09/2016 5:07:39 AM PDT by euram

“The names on this letter are the ones the American people should look to for answers on why the world is a mess, and we thank them for coming forward so everyone in the country knows who deserves the blame for making the world such a dangerous place. They are nothing more than the failed Washington elite looking to hold onto their power, and it’s time they are held accountable for their actions.

These insiders – along with Hillary Clinton – are the owners of the disastrous decisions to invade Iraq, allow Americans to die in Benghazi, and they are the ones who allowed the rise of ISIS. Yet despite these failures, they think they are entitled to use their favor trading to land taxpayer-funded government contracts and speaking fees. It’s time we put our foot down and declare that their gravy train is over: no longer will Crooked Hillary Clinton and the other disasters in Washington get rich at our expense.

Instead, I offer a better vision for our country and our foreign policy – one that is not run by a ruling family dynasty. It's an America first vision that stands up to foreign dictators instead of taking money from them, seeks peace over war, rebuilds our military, and makes other countries pay their fair share for their protection. Together, we will break up the rigged system in Washington, make America safe again, and we will Make America Great Again.”

“Every one of the RINOS.”

I personally don’t think the term RINO accurately captures what these people are. They are much more dangerous than that. I think it would be incredibly naive to think that infiltration of the GOP hasn’t been a goal and hasn’t been accomplished.

Is this guy a quick study or what?

He already had the instincts, but man is he honing his edge when it comes to rebutting attacks. This was a surgically precise riposte that guts his detractors and fillets them in one vicious swipe.

Go Team Trump!

Wonderful reply by the next President of the United States.

This is another reason why they don’t Trump elected—their crimes, perfidy, graft and corruption will be exposed for all to see after 1/20/17,and they cannot risk that.

The evidence is clear that America has been systematically looted and weakened since at least 1990, under both parties.

Want an example? Obama’s transfer of $400 million in cash to a terrorist nation, Iran.

Hear anything from the pols in DC?

Nope.

The dogs that did not bark.

You don’t hear these cretins supporting Trump either, do you?

This is our last chance to fix our ailing land.

If we miss this boat, there will not be another.

Go Trump!!

Great tempered response....and I was thinking these 50 morons signed a letter about Trump being bad for National Security.... where were they when Benghazi went down.... where were they on Obama and his zero experience.... have they been looking around the world and seeing the mess? These guys are clowns....

Question: Did anyone rundown the background on these so called “national security experts”? The guy they just had on Fox News, ROGER ZAKHEIM he’s a lawyer with https://www.cov.com/en Covington & Burling

Take a look at that firm’s background. This smells of Clinton.

Great line! Is it yours or did it come from another source?

Yep. I wonder how big their Clinton Foundation checks were.

Fifty more useful idiots to fill Hillary's unquenchable lust for power, money and adoration.

"I personally don’t think the term RINO accurately captures what these people are/"

I agree. The term "useful idiots" (in the Stalinist sense) is much more fitting.

Oh, that is an old literary reference, to wit:

“[t]he dog that didn’t bark in the night” is to a point made by Sherlock Holmes in Silver Blaze, a story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, where the fact that a dog did not bark during the night when a race horse was removed from a stable was an important clue to solve the mystery of who removed that horse from the stable.”

Awesome letter but sad to say it will be completely ignored by the treason media.

The overall effect of that open letter was underwhelming.
Here are 50 people most have never heard of presenting their little diatribe made to order for the House of Bush.

>>Trump needs to run against the ‘corrupt system.’

I think that’s what he IS running against and why he has so much support.

You are spot on.

Probably, perhaps definitely the most succinct thing Trump has said in a year. This, if anything, is channeling Reagan like nothing he has said yet.

If he could double the number of occurrences in which he said things this succinctly and directly, while cutting by 2/3rds his bloviating, he would be leading the polls by 15 points and that’s WITH Reuters’ goofball math and corrupt methods. And unstoppable.

HRC & the Dems got nothing on this.

And by the way, no explaining. Say this, and shut up. Nobody does not know what you mean, and right now.

And the correct course is to proceed assumptively that they DO know what you mean.

Thank you.
I enjoy ACDoyle and his Holmes series.
Again, very apropos within this thread.
