Feeling the heat, establishment ramps up attacks on Trump
The Chicago Tribune ^ | Rachel Marsden

Posted on 08/04/2016 5:02:15 AM PDT by AC Beach Patrol

When the anti-aircraft fire intensifies, it's usually a sign that you're directly over the target. Various branches of the establishment -- Wall Street, the military-industrial complex, the media -- are now unleashing their arsenal on the Trump campaign.

Two of the most media-friendly Wall Streeters, Michael Bloomberg and Warren Buffett, have been trotted out to tell the working class what's good for them. This is the best anti-Trump attack that Wall Street can muster. You're supposed to be seduced by the fact that former New York City Mayor Bloomberg took the subway to work at City Hall alongside the rest of the proles and declined his mayoral salary, while ignoring the fact that he raised taxes and encouraged illegal immigration.

(Re-post my comment from elsewhere)

The noise coming from the ‘right’, i.e. party leaders, various elected officials, electoral college electors, .... etc. balking at Trump as GOP presidential nominee tells us one thing clearly -

No one cares about the vast White Middle Class, the backbone of this country.

Politicians, and more specifically the donor class, rather chase after the mystical Unicorn Class, competing miserably against the Dem party.

I could care less if Meg Whitman or Brent Scowcroft don’t support Trump.

I wonder if the media knows that Obama doesn’t think she’s fit for the presidency, he said it, it must be true.

Kinzinger...another Rat Bastard
The republican party is full of them.

They all want to make sure that Hillary wins.
They couldn't have been more clear about how filthy they are, without wearing big signs around their necks.

They are more corrupt and bigger liars than Hillary herself.
Because they pretend to be something else while stealing money from people who believe in them.

Hillary said there's going to be a reckoning...
Hillary is correct.

Every time they attack him, it only makes him stronger, even if they may be technically right. That is literally how it works this time. My gosh, he must really tick off the MSM.

They can’t support Trump so they are going to support Hillary ?

I know the vast majority of politicians are hacks but if they think they are going to abandon Trump and still get elected with split tickets they are insane

Exactly. I’ve said many times that the rise of both Trump and Sanders were the first shots in a so far bloodless Revolution.

All these guys I know are middle-aged (35-55), GOP-registered, and have kids! They will use the insult to McCain stuff, etc., as an excuse (”well that does it, I cannot tolerate this”), while I know and remind them of much worse stuff they’d said about McCain. Results in vacuous compartmentalization and reiteration of Jonah Goldberg-esque facile statements.

The media is giddy now and you will see more hyping up of the Never Trumper losers stories.

Republican Strategist Calls Trump a ‘Loudmouthed D**k’ During Interview With Anderson Cooper
Aug. 4, 2016 2:55am Dave Urbanski

Republican strategist Liz Mair has made no secret of her distaste for Donald Trump as the Republican presidential nominee, much less the victor in the November general election.

Mair runs an anti-Trump super PAC and has made great efforts to get under the billionaire real estate mogul’s skin.

That said, she had no interest in sugarcoating her never-Trump stance during an interview Wednesday evening with CNN’s Anderson Cooper in which she called Trump a “loudmouthed d**k.”

Same with Hillary rallies... most of the people in the room are paid to stand behind her and cheer... the rest of the crowd is butt-kissing ‘journalists’...paid to make it ‘look real’...

As I was driving to work this morning, I had the Dan and Amy Show on the radio (WIND 560 Chicago). I caught the tail end of their interview with Kinzinger where he again made this outrageous statement. The listeners who called in were livid at his back-stabbing.

Adam, you and Mark Kirk should start organizing your resumes because you’re going to be out of a job soon. Maybe you could wait tables at a Chicago steakhouse. Or clean the washrooms at the Obama Library.

We have had 8 years of former Wall Street titans in the top echelons of the Obama government. The Democrats are now the party of Wall Street.

At one time the Democrats were champions of the middle class. But I contend that is no longer the case. They are the party of Wall Street millionaires and the non-working poor.

They support the Green initiatives that are destroying industry in America that the middle class rely on. They, more so than the GOP establishment, are destroying wages by importing millions of illegals.
