Realizing Paul Ryan was just given as an example, it would hardly come as a shock to see him “shift” to Nay. Guess I don’t see that it would have much impact, the only people who might care already hate Trump and would never vote for him and I can’t imagine many MAGA supporters would change their mind because Paul Ryan said so.

But just hypothetically, suppose he convinced Fox to cancel Tucker Carlson, Hannity, and Laura’s shows. Get rid of all the primetime opinion shows and maybe offer them a weekend spot, once a week or something. That would be a pretty dramatic move but again, would it really have a lot of impact on how people will actually vote? I doubt Laura and Hannity would much care, they’ve got their millions, Hannity could go play with his new GF and best bud Mark Cuban. But would the absence of their voices really sway many votes, or cause votes to not be swayed by the anti-Trump media that would replace them?

Seems to me the battle lines have been drawn for a long time and it’s going to take a lot more than some RINO “asset” to change much of anything.

Fromm a poster "newton" over on an Instapundit thread:

I hope the Professor and all others catch this one, because it needs to be said.

Ever since the GOP entered into the national arena and nominated Abe Lincoln for the Presidency, the Democrats have always acted like they were superior to everyone else. Democrats were the solid party of the Confederacy. They supported separation to keep the plantation system and slavery going. (You know that cotton couldn’t pick itself.) Come on! Why do you think they were called “Copperheads”? They did not believe the GOP or anyone who opposed them were Americans.

That was the attitude of Robert E. Lee at the surrender at Appomattox. For all his gentleman ways and good social standing as a Virginian blue-blood, in his speech he was no different from the PC Marxist SJWs of today in his attitude towards other Americans. How? Among those present on the side of General Unconditional Surrender Grant (that was Ulysses S. Grant’s nickname during the War) there was one Ely S. Parker, adjutant to General Grant, the scribe of the Appomattox surrender documents, and a member of the Seneca tribe. Somehow, Lee discovered Parker’s background, stared at him for a moment and remarked, ”I am glad to see a real American here.”

No one ever asked General Grant’s thoughts or reaction upon hearing this bit of conversation from Lee, but I’m sure this was a major “WTF?!?” Moment. This defeated General, in the presence of the one who had handily and decisively defeated him and had his old West Point classmate General Sherman spank Atlanta and the plantation system like a red-headed stepchild, dared to imply General Grant and the other Union officers (in fact, the Union itself) were NOT. AMERICANS.

Doesn’t that sound to you exactly like the attitude of the Marxist PC SJW Democrats towards a huge segment of the American population? “Deplorables,” “Irredeemables,” or “not human beings” (in the words of one of those BLM racist SJW activists.) If you want to verify it, it’s all out there.

Fortunately for Grant and our posterity, Parker corrected Lee very quickly. He extended his hand and replied to Lee, as clear as daylight, “Sir, we are all Americans.”

Ely S. Parker could have given a mighty rant on how the white man “stole his lands” and “killed his people.” The Democrats would have made him a superstar in their college curriculums. But he affirmed America to all present, even those “hated” whites - thus, he is never mentioned in Marxist PC History classes. I only found out about Parker thanks to the miniseries “Grant” on The History channel.

If any other person in the room had said it, it would have probably never been known, but a Native American affirmed the Americanness of all those present inside that house at Appomattox. It is precisely because of this affirmation, “We are all Americans,” that we have preserved the Union until today.

We should all emulate Brigadier General Ely S. Parker - and spank the Democrats like the spoiled brats they truly are.
