So in your opinion then all, murders have been successfully prosecuted. If prosecution is the standard bearer for reality, then that has to be true. Now thanks to DNA, cases previously unsolved are being resolved in small numbers, but many more remain unsolved due to lack of DNA evidence. Proving voter fraud does not have the luxury of definitive proof such as DNA.

The truth is that it has never been aggressively investigated to know how deep voter fraud goes. We are now beginning such an investigation, at least hopefully that is what that commission is doing.

Really? I thought what he stated was quite clear. People like W are fake conservatives who actually fight against conservatism, They see conservatism as radical beliefs. Still sporting that resentment that the establishment brand of Republican has lost yet another election I guess.

But we’re woke, as the hep kids say, and Conservative, Inc., can’t thread that needle anymore. The problem for them is that we now know where their loyalty really lies – Bush and the rest had a choice between us and their YaleHarvardWherever Skull n’ Bonesey fellow travelers, and the choice was easy. At the end of the day, politics gives way to elitist courtesy, and Bush will sit giggling with Obama and Clinton before he dirties himself by associating with the guy we chose over Sr. Please Clap.

What conservative can read this and not stand and cheer?

That is great - so he a hard charging leader type as well as a funny sarcastic writer.

Side note never have understood the spelling versus the pronunciation of the world colonel even in french that doesn't make much sense to me. To the google.

Ok - It looks from the quick research I did the word started colonel when to cornel (okay) then back to colonel but seems to keep the second pronunciation. There is your useless tidbit of knowledge for the day.

The only way the GOP can win a national election is if large numbers of Blacks and LEGAL Hispanics stay home - which is what happened in 2016 - or if the GOP steadily increases its current 58% share of white voters.

Paging Michael Medved someone has stolen your discredited theory and is using it again.

Your wrong because identity politics is an over simplistic lens upon which to forecast elections you are applying Bayesian statistics to a phenomenon better described using the mathmatics of Causality . Your mistake is correlating the results and then going back to attribute causation. Which does seem on the surface to make sense but as we saw last election that theory was espoused (why we must have another Bush Yeb!) and was wrong in that case.

Simply put most people vote their pocket book not their skin color that is the causal rule (totally my opinion).

Govern like Trump and more people suddenly start voting white. Will their skin change color? Unless your last name is Zimmerman then the answer is no.

This is my theory so take it with a grain of salt.

Also the Trump Train is a fun place to be - smiling confident people and a non vegan club car. Confidence is attractive.

Welcome to the party

Agree.

But some are shinier than others. This is one of them!

It’s just a metaphor. :-)

(I was never a chess club member, but that is the HS group I would most identify with. But the article and the metaphor are great, so I’m just rolling with it. I get his meaning and take no offense at his depiction of chess club types.)

I think the point is that the GOPe think they are above everyone else and somehow deserve to be in charge of the whole country. We normals (chess-playing or not) are having none of it. Some of us used to think they were looking out for us because they were not Clintons/0vomits. But the masks are off and we can clearly see that they are just democrat lite. And also that they are lousy chess players.

Re: “The system is set up so voter fraud can’t generally be pinned on people. Are you really that clueless?”

Me? Clueless?

How about the hundreds of Republican candidates who knew they were going to lose their elections in 2016 because of voter fraud, but ran anyway? Now that's clueless!

How about the tens of thousands of GOP donors who gave their hard earned money to those candidates, even though the donors knew those candidates would lose because of voter fraud? That is freaking clueless!

I'm being sarcastic, of course.

Such GOP candidates and GOP donors do not exist - because massive, undetectable, unpreventable voter fraud does not exist.

What does exist is massive LEGAL immigration into the USA - a policy that is enthusiastically supported by an alarming percentage of Freepers and Always-Trumpers.

As I said in my last post - it's junior high school math.

New immigrant citizens vote 80% for the Democrat Party.

Non-white citizens, including Blacks, vote 80% for the Democrat Party.

Whites vote 55% to 60% for the Republican Party.

Most USA citizens who die are white.

Almost 50% of new 18 year old voters are non-white.

When you combine Black, Hispanic, and Asian voters with white Democrat voters, the Democrat Party has enough LEGAL votes to win any presidential election they want - but only if they get their core voters to the polls in key states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

We won in 2016 because Republicans and Conservatives almost always have the highest voter turn out, and because significant numbers of Hispanics and Blacks stayed home, when compared to 2008 and 2012.

Full Disclosure: I voted for Trump in 2016, and I will vote to reelect him in 2020, because he is the most Conservative candidate who has a chance of winning.

Kurt Schlichter has a style that is just plain fun to read. I often read articles here without paying attention to the writer until the end when I want to see who is the source. With Kurt Schlichter I often say to myself about two paragraphs in, “This reads like...yup...just as I suspected.
