Here the CRACKUP:

1) “First they needed control of the House to advance a conservative agenda, repeal Obamacare, seal the border, and so on. Done in 2010.”
2) “Then they needed the Senate too. Done in 2014.”
3) “They needed control of the White House, too, before going on offense. Done as of a couple of months ago.”

So now we’re at #4, and I’ll state it for the Republican Establishment:

4) We need control of the MEDIA, or we’ll be labeled as hate-mongers and our party invitations will dry up.

They had #4 ALL SET TO GO, especially with Jeb/Rubio/Kasich as the only possible winners in 2016...they could continue to act like the minority party, even while controlling all branches of government...powerless to do anything. They could keep complaining about Obamacare, but then blame the media for not letting them try to fix it.

...well, Trump comes along and doesn’t have time for that crap. One of the many reasons they can’t stand him. The Republicans had a GREAT THING GOING, collect the votes of people complaining about Democrats, get the chairmanships, go to swanky parties, and DO NOTHING and have someone (or something) to always blame.

Oh well...not so easy anymore.

Yeah, the D.C. UniParty is crying foul. He isn’t playing by their rules.

Teacher, when I was bully Johnny, he hit back and gave me a bloody nose! No fair!

From the end of the article:

What a refreshing change for Republicans to have a party leader who can play offense and defense, effectively. An athlete the opposing team has never run up against, at least since the 1980s. And they have nothing in their playbook to stop him.

A new team. A new star athlete. What a great four, and hopefully eight, years ahead!

Amen! Go Trump/Pence.

Trump is giving the GOP a new, winning playbook. One that actually works. But they will eventually throw it away and revert right back to their old establishment ways.

The GOP never seems comfortable with the concept of winning and the responsibilities that go along with it.

Rather than ignoring Lewis’s jab or trying to explain why he is legitimate, Trump hit back.

The Left still can't believe that Trump hasn't apologized to Lewis. To make matters worse, Trump then went and met with MLK III, completely taking the wind out of their sails over the Lewis issue.

That’s why the media and the Democrats keep saying Trump needs to stop tweeting. They don’t like the fact that he can just ignore them, and talk right past them to the American people!

First time ever a President is running with the ball so damn fast the media can’t keep up with him.
