I think that most people have made up their minds by now and aren’t going to be persuaded by endorsements.

Its time to start voting.

All of these beltway pundits next year, will be on the curb selling pencils instead writing bs like this. They are irrelevant and worthless in our new world. They are panicking and filling their Depends. It is time for a big change in DC.

Imagine giving this advice to a Republican presidential candidate: What if you stopped calling yourself a conservative and instead just promised to make America great again?

What if you dropped all this leftover 19th-century piety about the free market and promised to fight the elites who were selling out American jobs?

What if you just stopped talking about reforming Medicare and Social Security and instead said that the elites were failing to deliver better healthcare at a reasonable price?

What if, instead of vainly talking about restoring the place of religion in society something that appeals only to a narrow slice of Middle America. You simply promised to restore the Middle American core, the economic and cultural losers of globalization to their rightful place in America?

What if you said you would re store them as the chief clients of the American state under your watch, being mindful of their interests when regulating the economy or negotiating trade deals?

This collection of strongly worded letters on the 11th hr will surly change everyone’s mind about a man they’ve been constantly bashing since July.

This is it folks, bye bye Don!

Bingo, you get it.

That’s the tell. Where the Hell were these conservative icons when the Muslims and foreign workers started pouring in? When Obamacare was foisted on us? When we were silenced by a PC culture? When the Supreme Court became the Supreme Dictators? They were talk, talk, talk but never a show of solidarity like this.

Is Trump so much of a lefty America hater, worse than Obama, that these guys finally got off their duff and took this step?

Or is it more likely that if Trump does govern successfully from the right, the con in their brand of conservatism gets exposed, and the rubes won’t listen to them for a generation?

It was surprising they didn’t say they did not know anyone who could stand Trump.

Have we ever seen the Dems fight their frontrunner or write this type of screed ever? Do you have any Grey Poupon?

“Closing the effin’ borders and bringing our jobs back home has NEVER been a “principle” of these hot air blowing “conservatives.” Screw ‘em all.”

Houston, We Have a Problem [RNC just disinvited NRO from CNN debate]

Tonight, a top official with the RNC called me to say that National Review was being disinvited [from the CNN debate]. The reason: Our “Against Trump” editorial and symposium. We expected this was coming. Small price to pay for speaking the truth about The Donald.

Speak ill of the NRO, and they respond quickly. They have now put up a story about our beloved Forrest. And the author mentions my favorite characteristic of Dr. McDonald—his sparkly eyes. He was so wise and full of humor and a love of life. He was my kind of rebel. I love those who dare to take on the Establishment. Forrest McDonald did that. Donald Trump is doing that. Roll Tide in heaven, “Dollybird!”

NRO published 23 of these Trump hit-pieces in their last-gasp Get-Trump Symposium, and Looks like they’re all 23 are gonna be posted here as separate posts.

I watched four of these NRO yahoos on Megyn Kelly tonight and was absolutely stunned at the vapidness and duplicity of their attacks against Trump. Most repeated the mantra over and over again that conservationism was all about “principles and ideas”, but not a single time did they mention anything about ACTING to do anything with those “principles and ideas”.

Much of what they said was simply false or ridiculous, like one comment about Trump destroying “centuries” of conservative ideas and principles. Multiple times they indicated that Trump was unfit because he hadn’t spent decades “paying his dues” or “honing” his conservatism. They attacked Trump for positions held decades ago and at the same time dismissed that same issue regarding Reagan’s evolution. The most outrageous accusation was that Trump was a “strong man” who wanted the trains to run one time, and not-veiled-at-all reference equating Trump to Mussolini.

These people were truly pathetic and their absolute fear, panic, and hatred of Trump could be practically seen oozing out of very pore.

Clearly, these people are frightened that they and their ilk will become completely irrelevant when Trump is elected President. It was clear that they feared and loathed Trump FAR more than Hillary or any other Democrat. It was also clear that they are totally out of touch with the outrage in the GOP electorate as a consequence of the GOP elite winning both Congressional Houses and not doing a damn thing to stop any portion of Obama’s agenda.

This really looked like a last gasp by the old guard to put on a full court attack one last time before Trump actually starts winning primaries.

As far as I’m concerned these people are traitors and liars and don’t give a damn about conservatism or our country. They only care about themselves. Personally, I was completely outraged at how these people pretend like they are the great keepers of THE CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES and pretty much anyone who supports Trump is an uneducated yahoo.

Also, my impression was that Kelly was actually subtly on Trump’s side as her questions really seemed to be designed to give these Trump-haters substantial amounts of rope to hang themselves with, which they they proceeded to do with great gusto. There’s been a significant shift at Fox News these last few days since Rupert Murdoch made a positive tweet about Donald Trump. Looks like Rupert, like so many others, have concluded that Trump is going to win the Presidency and they’re trying to get on Trump’s good side before it’s too late.

More importantly, it’s important not to forget that just a few weeks ago, Trump singularly upset the whole election apple cart!

Trump set the national agenda by opposing illegal immigration and bringing up other issues that the GOPe and their allies desperately wanted to avoid, and now they can’t.

The GOPe was not prepared for this, and as a consequence they don’t have a clue about what to do, hence their almost universal collapse into a pile of quivering jello, flip-flopping like a bag of Mexican jumping beans dumped on a hot griddle.

Trump has exposed those who pretend to be conservative but are really just fronts for big money establishment campaign donors who purchase their candidates with campaign “donations”.

Trump, by actually being a real man, has exposed the other candidates (Cruz excepting of course) and their allies for the weak little sniveling sellouts that they really are.

Trump’s vociferous truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media have been the catalyst that triggered a massive revolt amongst conservative voters who are infuriated at the GOPe Congress doing absolutely ZERO to stop Obama’s agenda, and suddenly the GOP RINO leadership is in full blown panic mode and in full blown retreat, and the SMALL conservative House contingent smelt blood in the water, took heart, and charged in against a weakened, frightened and paralyzed GOPe leadership, and Boehner was taken out as a sacrificial lamb.

Trump is absolutely correct when he says that without Trump in the race, everything would be same-ol’, same-ol. The Joyful Tippy-Toes Turtle would be creeping closer to the finish line, Boehner would still be safely ensconced as Speaker, and there would be no mention of illegal immigration are any of the issues surrounding it by any politician in either party, other than possibly how critical it would be to pass immigration “reform”.

The media are loath to make the connection, but it’s obvious that the Boehner resignation was yet another falling domino, toppling due to the Trump Effect, because Trump’s unabashed truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media triggered a revolt amongst the great unwashed GOP masses which emboldened a few conservative Congress critters to grow a few pairs.

And our nation wouldn’t even be having ANY of these conversations about illegal immigration and the myriad of other Obammunist issues destroying our country if it wasn’t for Trump. Instead, we’d simply be debating which RINO, GOPe squish would be least likely to be stomped by Hillary, and the GOPe would once again be exhorting the “base” about how critical it is for us to once again vote for the “lesser of two evils”, that is, vote for the GOPe side of the Uniparty coin.

And do note that ALL of the oligarchs and plutocrats are frightened to death of Donald Trump because the billionaires and millionaires can’t buy him like all of the other politicians they routinely purchase, because Trump doesn’t need nor want their money, and the kommie media is frightened to death of him because he isn’t afraid of them either, the bottom line being that Donald Trump can not be controlled by the rich and powerful or the corrupt media, so for anyone who is truly for campaign finance reform and wants to take money out of politics, voting for Trump is the only reasonable choice.

President Trump is really the last hope for this country: if he can’t undo any of the damage wrought by the Obammunists, the U.S.A. is done.

So least we forget, the above, and much more, are called “The Trump Effect”.
