Sundance is that quietly salty cuss who prefers to swing the sharp machete alone amid the deep weeds; clearing the path simply for the sake of creating clarity and larger understanding about the topography of the stuff the professional political class would prefer to keep hidden in the weeds. At times, he settles himself atop the bluff, opens his lunchbox and thermos to eat a simple sandwich, shirt sleeves will suffice as a napkin, while looking at the flow coming into the clearing…
Amid this era of insufferable pretending, our dear and rebellious non-pretending CTH friend, the Great Lou Dobbs, is a voice to cherish – he gets it. There is a wisdom that comes with age and experience battling against the Machiavellian schemes of the professional political class; it also can make you quick-tempered, and that’s ok. Hell, it’s to be expected.
In this brief video segment {Direct Rumble Link}, Lou Dobbs cuts to the chase when analyzing the Republican party rebuttal to the Joe Biden state of the union speech. Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee-Sanders delivered the remarks, they were poignant deliberate and accurate; however, they were also party managed, and party approved.
Just as Lou Dobbs has accurately and presciently called the Wall Street play-by-play for decades, amid the multinational schemes of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce & Business Roundtable, Mr Dobbs accurately notes the Republican Governor’s Association (RGA) as the originating approvers for the prepared rebuttal. WATCH:
Sarah Huckabee's Rebuttal Was An "Insult" To President Trump's Triumphant Four Years The Great Lou Dobbs is 100% correct.
The approved GOPe script, a construct of multinational financial influence and background motive, was/is intended to write President Donald Trump out of the Republican political framework. Governor Huckabee-Sanders went along with the plan. She, along with all of the non-pretenders, knows this, as all of them do. It is a sad acceptance to realize just how metastasized the political cancer has become, and how few can hold firm against the power of the corrupt political apparatus.
As I said last night, Huckabee-Sanders points about the damage from the Biden administration were accurate and well delivered.
That said, her acquiescence to the machinery of the professional republican system is both disheartening and pathetic.
Oh sure, she will backtrack sometime soon, filled with artificial pearl-clutching prose and promises of mistaken intent…. that’s the way it rolls. But once you see the strings attached to the marionettes you can never unsee them. Authenticity, trust and integrity are lost in sunlight moments when decisions are made.
CTH noted several weeks ago that based on the background moves in advance of Ron DeSantis’s reelection efforts, it became increasingly clear the Republican Governor’s Association (RGA) was going to play a bigger role in 2024 in full alignment with the GOP establishment.
In some ways the leveraging of the RGA is the difference between the Big Club’s 2016 (Jeb!) effort, and the 2024 (Ron!) effort. It was obvious in 2022 with the amount of money the RGA poured into the FL governor’s coffers, a reelection race with a consistent double point lead, the RGA was not doing it for the 2022 reelection – they were building the DeSantis war chest for 2024.
The DeSantis management and branding group are in alignment with, and in close coordination with, the RGA.
At CTH we accept things as they are, not as we would wish them to be.
The Big Club is fooling many, but not here, not now and not today – or ever.
Once you see the strings on the marionettes, you can never return to that moment in the performance when you did not see them.
There are far more of us than them, and once people realize the scale of the duplicity and professional Republican corruption, the backlash against this Big Club branding and management team -together with their “influencers” and willing conscripts- is going to leave a lot of “conservative pundits” very isolated, alone and irrelevant.
Now that Lou Dobbs brings up this 'little' fact that Sarah never mentioned Trump, I am not as smitten.
How do others see it. Pleas watch the short video.

Bannon: “Sarah does not exist politically if it were not for Trump”
later
She didn’t have to name him by name; everyone knew who she was talking about. The reason she didn’t mention his name is because there is a presidential campaign just getting under way, and she did not want to make any comment that could be construed as a campaign endorsement. Smart move on her part.
I haven’t watched the video yet but my take on her not mentioning Trump was that it didn’t matter!! With her description of that moving event in the military, EVERYONE KNEW who she was talking about!! It was the best ENDORSEMENT of TRUMP 2024 she could have made!!!!
You are SO RIGHT!!!!!!!!!
I was there when I watched it.
Bull Pucky in spades. Talking about a trip that was literally orgasmic for those in the military on Christmas Eve...and for whatever reason, not being able to say “President Trump”...is something I just can’t forgive.
Her launching pad was being given the opportunity to serve as Press Secretary at the White House. Trump believed in her. Like so many others that served in his administration, they all seem to want to run away from the man who made it possible.
I hope Trump continues to run for President and destroys all in his way.
....smart my ass, she just got elected and owes most of it to Trump and she cowers and does the bidding of the Govs and moneymen. An insult to Trump and her old man was no conservative in AR, just way better the squish she succeeded... ymmv
Why did she do it? Why?
“Bull Pucky in spades.”
No.
Stop for a minute and think: She was giving the official GOP rebuttal to Biden’s SOTU speech. It would be wholly inappropriate for her to mention Trump by name in such a rebuttal, as it could appear as an endorsement as he has already launched his 2024 campaign. In her rebuttal, she was representing the GOP; she was not representing Trump.
“...smart my ass...”

Personally, I trust Lou Dobbs interpretation of the speech over yours.
HOWEVER - I just realized something.
If DeSantis shows up for 2024 with a bunch of campaign consultants and the like in tow [going back to the Bad Old Days of campaign grifters like Karl Rove and Steve Schmidt], that will be a red flag.
The usual GOPee campaign grifters have NEVER forgiven Trump for cutting them out of their piece of the money pie in 2015-16.
Was she just giving the rebuttal - or setting the stage for GOPee 2024?
We'll see, I guess.
Always and forever the criticism of the republicans is first.
Dobbs ignores the lies of Biden to make noise about Sarah.
Twill be grist for the left on social media.
Exactly. It was not a campaign speech. It was an anti-Biden, anti-Demonrat, anti-woke speech. Period. No need to mention Trump.
Think you should watch the video in which she references her time at the White House with reverence.
It's pretty clear who she's talking about.
Much ado about nothing, IMO.
“Personally, I trust Lou Dobbs interpretation of the speech over yours.”
Good for you.
