TOP GOP STRATEGIST RUNS TO POLITICO, SMEARS TRUMP VOTERS AS ‘CLOWNS’
http://www.breitbart.com ^ | July 22, 2015 | John Nolte

While Republican frontrunner Donald Trump gleefully attacks members of the GOP Establishment and media, the GOP Establishment seem to believe it’s a good idea to run to the mainstream media and attack Republican voters.

First Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)43% ran to the Left-wing New Yorker to attack 15,000 GOP base voters as “crazies.” Wednesday, the GOP Establishment went even further.

Rick Wilson, a top Establishment Republican message and media strategist ran to Politico to attack Trump’s supporters as “clowns.”

According to the most recent national poll, Trump is garnering support from 25% of the GOP base. Which means that a top Establishment strategist believes it is a smart strategy to smear 25% of the GOP’s most loyal voters as “clowns“:

The circus is almost over.

My advice to Trump fans?

Don’t be the last clown out of the tent.

Brilliant.

Keep in mind that this is the same GOP Establishment privately and publicly lecturing Trump about “tone.”

Let me run this down for you…

McCain is calling Republican voters “crazies,” a top GOP strategist is trashing 25% of the GOP base as “clowns,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)47% is calling Trump a “jackass,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)80% is saying Trump has “no class,” Rick Perry is declaring Trump a “circus sideshow” … but it is Trump being lectured by The Establishment to watch his tone.

Personally, I’ll vote for Jeb Bush before I vote for Donald Trump. But that doesn’t mean I can’t see that the Republican Party is making a gigantic, hypocritical ass of itself. That, however, I can live with.

What I can’t abide are the attacks on everyday American voters emanating from the same Establishment geniuses who have lost the popular vote in 4 of the last 5 presidential elections.

And then they wonder why each insult Trump hurls at them is met with thunderous applause.

Idiots.

It will be priceless if these idiots get their nerve up to act out on the stage about the same time that Trump, with the nation’s full attention, acts presidential. Whatever happens I suspect Trump with be a step or two ahead of them.

Some people haven’t a clue.
Maybe I’m a crazy; but let me figure it out on my own.
You guys haven’t a clue what you are doing other than showing you know how to be name callers.
Looks like they are afraid of the other guy and they have no ammunition or armor to protect themselves. Trump probably has a view of their vulnerabilities since they all came to visit him and ask for his endorsement and money.
Just running scared is what they look like. While Trump may be a Democrat calling himself a Republican and flushing the whole lot out.
Give me a break!!!

Clowns are the ones who dance naked at gay pride parades. Or, those who color the White House in multi colors of a clown wig.
People who are tired of politics as usual, double talk, broken promises, weak ess in the Oval Office, and outright lies don’t fall into the clown category.

Has anyone heard if Newt Gingrich has weighed in on the Trump debacle?

Not all Trump voters are clowns. Some are just woefully uniformed about his record, extremely gullible or closet Liberals, like Trump.

Then why bother writing this article? Bush is the very face of the people you’re criticizing here.

There are a lot of crazy clowns out here.

Those folks are clueless as to what happens next.

If Trump stays in, they’re done.

It would be better at this point to try to build a working relationship with him, but they seem to prefer (political) death to life as they knew it.

Has there ever been a political party in US history that has called supporters and voters for one of its candidates stupid, clowns and hobbits ? They are behaving as if they want to lose. The entire party leadership needs to resign.

I won’t vote for Jeb. I don’t care who he’s running against. If I have to explain that logic again this year, then it will be a shame.

The GOP doesn’t want to win if it means they will have to turn right.

Newt was on Hannity recently and seemed unwilling to name a favorite. I don’t recall him saying anything bad about Trump.
