Tea party parallel? Liberals taking aim at their own party [again?]

Four days after Donald Trump’s surprising White House victory, the liberal organization CREDO Action fired off a frantic warning to its 4.6 million anxious supporters.

Their worry wasn’t the new president. It was his opposition.

“Democratic leaders have been welcoming Trump,” the email said. “That’s not acceptable. Democratic leaders need to stand up and fight. Now.” […]

“We’re not interested in unity,” said Cenk Uygur, the founder of Justice Democrats, a new organization that’s pledged to replace “every establishment politician” in Congress. “We can’t beat the Republicans unless we have good, honest, uncorrupted candidates.” …

The Tea Party, in my opinion, elected Donald Trump, and rejected the old-style GOP.

It was a complete repudiation, of the wing of the party which has been selling out America for more than the entire last generation.

Trump is now leading the GOP, bringing back manufacturing, strengthening America, and the old-style GOP is out of power.

It took a long time, but now the GOP is back.

I think liberals, have quite a fight on their hands, now to get back in power.

Trump is the tea party. The GOP is now Trump.

(in my view, anyway)

In other words, the Young Turk admits that it is impossible to beat Trump, since there are no good honest liberals. And the only uncorrupted (and incorruptible) major politician is Trump!

But we were expected to play nice with Obama in 2009.

Many in the GOP still do not want to be, as they have made plain over the past weeks.

“We can’t beat the Republicans unless we have good, honest, uncorrupted candidates.” There is your problem. Three words define it all. Good, Honest, Uncorrupted. Can’t do it pal. It is not in your DNA.

The Dems just need to come up with a good name for this new and completely spontaneous movement. How about something like moveon.org or Organizing for America? I doubt those names are taken. The completely spontaneous nature of this liberal tea party is what should alarm us all. But fear not, I don’t know where in the Soros such a spontaneous movement will get its funding from!!

>>The Tea Party, in my opinion, elected Donald Trump, and rejected the old-style GOP.<<

The left has been repeating since 11/9 they need to clone the Tea Party, substituting their “values” for the Tea Party ones of love of America, respect for the USC, less government, fewer taxes.

This IS NOT POSSIBLE. The left has agendas, not values. They cobble together various victims and losers who generally hate America and only know the preamble to the USC and think that is its entirety.

That is why the only playbook they have is Alinsky’s - it is how to COMPLETELY IGNORE what you are selling and just concentrate on bringing down the opposition. The only strategy that works is the same as jackals.

Not sure. Hillary was the worst candidate to go against Trump. In that way Trump was lucky. But also, without Obama, who knows how the Dems would have done in 08 and 12. He pulled them across the line.

Going forward, it will be hard. And a person on the left, who goes more populist than Donald, could pull it off.

The thing is, both parties were tremendously turned upside down by last year’s race.

If Trump would have lost, I believe the GOP would now have been over. Truly beat.

They have been selling out America in trade for years. Everything and everyone, was selling out to China. In every field. Trump was the ONLY person, anywhere, saying America needed to be for America again.

He won. That is huge. He stands now, the single most formidable president in recent history.

He has completely toppled what the GOP had become, which basically was nothing. He has energized, and brought back what made the GOP great, because he is for AMERICA.

It has been so long since that is the case.

The Democrats are the party the left held as the future. They really bet everything, on Hillary winning.

The race was for all the marbles, and we won.

That is hugely important. But it also means, America needs to be for America.

It has been forever, since that was the case. Reagan was the last president, who was really for America.

It is so very nice, to be completely proud, every day, to listen to what is happening around the world.

President Trump, good job so far.

Make us proud.

No human is incorruptible (part of being human), but Trump’s character is certainly the diametric opposite of what these lying liberals claim to be seeking—their own ideology being bad, dishonest and corrupt by definition.

Reagan was up against the same kind of totalitarian-minded Republicans, remember. His own vice president was one; Mitch McConnell another, having been in the Senate since 1985 and siding with the libs even back then.

The 1960 book by Goldwater, The Conscience of a Conservative, points out in several chapters how the GOP had turned leftward even back then, demonstrating that one of the goals of the commies—to take over at least one major US political party, but take over both if feasible—had been fulfilled to the greatest extent the left wanted.

There isa big difference between the Tea Party and the Liberal Left:

The Tea Party exists for all things good and righteous; add accountability.

The Libera lLeft exist to do all things evil - lie, cheat, steal, kill, deceive, force themselves on others in a sick sexually deviant manner, irresponsibility, no accountability, ...etc

The Tea Party was about appealing to Middle Class people, many of whom got mostly indifferent over the years. I don’t see much indifference or hidden leftists as a large silent mass. In fact, it’s cool to be leftist and those who are leftist are open and proud about it already.

Let’s put it this way: Trump has everything he could want or need—and he already has the experience of working for what he has—so what in the world could be used to corrupt him?

Compare that to liberals who will sell out anything to get rich and advance their agenda.
