Trump campaign gives up fight in key state
nypost ^

Posted on 10/13/2016 9:02:21 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The Trump campaign is moving resources from the key battleground state of Virginia — a sign that the Republican presidential nominee is giving up hopes of winning there, according to a new report.

The campaign “pulling out of Virginia” surprised staffers and upset those working to beat Hillary Clinton there.

The news was delivered to staff there in a late Wednesday conference call.

“I think it’s totally premature for the campaign to be pulling out of Virginia after so much work and all the hundreds … of hours of volunteer time and thousands and thousands of volunteers,” former Virginia state chair Corey Stewart told NBC.

“The only thing the campaign had to do was spend money on an ad campaign and it would have been competitive … I’m just disgusted,” said Stewart, who was fired this week for organizing a public protest of House Speaker Paul Ryan at the Republican National Committee in Washington, DC.

Stewart asserted that the withdrawal of resources in the battleground state “makes it next to impossible to win the state.”

RPV is filled with Democrats posing as Republicans - many of them in leadership roles. Fairfax County is a particularly nasty swamp of these types.

Wouldn’t surprise me if one of them is the source of this claim.

Consider the source and the outlet. Pure BS

“The only thing the campaign had to do was spend money on an ad campaign and it would have been competitive … I’m just disgusted,” said Stewart, who was fired this week for organizing a public protest of House Speaker Paul Ryan at the Republican National Committee in Washington, DC.

First rule in reading any quote from the media - if the words “anonymous sources”, or “someone within the party” or other vague source or no name means liar liar statement!

Whatever the truth is, you just can’t argue with this statement:

“The only thing the campaign had to do was spend money on an ad campaign and it would have been competitive”

Just like Florida, Trump decided to go cheap on the ads for months. The difference in this election could very well be a lousy $10 million in ads. That would be a shame!

That’s been the case here in North Carolina all along. Tons of Bernie during the primaries, but she won going away. Not too enthused about her, I guess, but they’re still voting for her. Political signs and stickers in general have been scarce here other than Bernie. Trump supporters are worried about vandalism and harassment I suspect, but Hillary supporters just aren’t that into her, even if they do vote for her.

The Soviets called it dezinformatsiya. Disinformation. Media are full of it today, or rather more so than usual.

Surely, the State where Mr. Jefferson lived and wrote so magnificently of the ideas of liberty will not become the State which supports the set of counterfeit ideas offered by Hillary Clinton.

Let's read the words of the Author of our Declaration of Independence and President of the U. S., Thomas Jefferson, in his 1801 Inaugural Address who laid out what might be considered to be "qualifications" for the American presidency:

(Excerpt, "Our Ageless Constitution," p. xiv, reformatted)
"Let us, then, with courage and confidence pursue our own Federal and Republican principles, our attachment to union and representative government. Kindly separated by nature and a wide ocean from the exterminating havoc of one quarter of the globe; too high-minded to endure the degradations of the others; possessing a chosen country, with room enough for our descendants to the thousandth and thousandth generation;

- entertaining a due sense of our equal right to the use of our own faculties, to the acquisitions of our own industry, to honor and confidence from our fellow-citizens, resulting not from birth, but from our actions and their sense of them;

= enlightened by a benign religion, professed, indeed, and practiced in various forms, yet all of them inculcating honesty, truth, temperance, gratitude, and the love of man;

- acknowledging and adoring an overruling Providence, which by all its dispensations proves that it delights in the happiness of man here and his greater happiness hereafter

—with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people?

- Still one thing more, fellow-citizens—a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.

- This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities.

"About to enter, fellow-citizens, on the exercise of duties which comprehend everything dear and valuable to you,

- it is proper you should understand what I deem the essential principles of our Government, and consequently those which ought to shape its Administration. I will compress them within the narrowest compass they will bear, stating the general principle, but not all its limitations.

- Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political;

- peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none;

- the support of the State governments in all their rights, as the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns and the surest bulwarks against antirepublican tendencies;

- the preservation of the General Government in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad;

- a jealous care of the right of election by the people—a mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword of revolution where peaceable remedies are unprovided;

- absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority, the vital principle of republics, from which is no appeal but to force, the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism;

- a well disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace and for the first moments of war, till regulars may relieve them;

- the supremacy of the civil over the military authority;

- economy in the public expense, that labor may be lightly burthened;

- the honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith;

- encouragement of agriculture, and of commerce as its handmaid;

- the diffusion of information and arraignment of all abuses at the bar of the public reason;

- freedom of religion; freedom of the press, and freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected.

These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety."

Further, if Hillary Clinton and her political elites continue to categorize and criticize "baskets" of citizens who oppose her coercive ideology, then she and her counterparts in the Administration might consider the words of the man known as "the father of the Constitution" under which they serve:

Excerpt:
Excerpt "Because we hold it for a fundamental and undeniable truth, “that Religion or the duty which we owe to our Creator and the Manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence.”

"The Religion then of every man must be left to the conviction and conscience of every man; and it is the right of every man to exercise it as these may dictate. This right is in its nature an unalienable right. It is unalienable; because the opinions of men, depending only on the evidence contemplated by their own minds, cannot follow the dictates of other men: It is unalienable also; because what is here a right towards men, is a duty towards the Creator. It is the duty of every man to render to the Creator such homage, and such only, as he believes to be acceptable to him. This duty is precedent both in order of time and degree of obligation, to the claims of Civil Society. Before any man can be considered as a member of Civil Society, he must be considered as a subject of the Governor of the Universe: And if a member of Civil Society, who enters into any subordinate Association, must always do it with a reservation of his duty to the general authority; much more must every man who becomes a member of any particular Civil Society, do it with a saving of his allegiance to the Universal Sovereign. We maintain therefore that in matters of Religion, no man’s right is abridged by the institution of Civil Society, and that Religion is wholly exempt from its cognizance." - James Madison

Is there anywhere a clearer statement of the underlying principle of the U. S. Constitution's provisions and protections for "the People's" rights and liberties?

The very foundation of the Founders' Declaration of Independence from a "government-over-people" rule to one of a people's recognition of "overruling Providence" and "people-over-government" liberty was summarized in Jefferson's, "The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them."

In our generation, do we not see that "hand of force" unmasked at the same time as that same "hand" not only is reluctant to recognize Madison's "Creator," "the Governor of the Universe," and "Universal Sovereign," or Jefferson's "the God who gave us life," but utilizes that "hand of force" to deny public discourse to include those descriptions in its "politically-correct" discourse or teaching of the youth of America?
