My variation on Selena Zito: Right now the value of Trump to the Trump voter is he is all that stands between them and the people who hate them every bit as much as they hate Trump.
The Manhattan (NY County) District Attorneys office is investigating the Trump Organization for possible criminal violations.
The current NY Attorney General Barbara Underwood, holding the spot temporarily after her anti-Trump predecessor Eric Schneiderman resigned in disgrace, is going after the Trump Foundation.
Democrat candidates for Attorney General are trying to outdo each other with promises that they will be the most aggressive in going after all things Trump if elected.
Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, to whom Robert Mueller outsourced investigations so far removed from supposed Russia collusion that even Mueller couldnt justify keeping them, have taken down the hapless Michael Cohen and clearly have their sights set more broadly on the Trump organization.
Those same prosecutors are digging in the safes of the owner of the National Enquirer for more dirt on Trump or the Trump organizations.
The sharks clearly are circling all things Trump looking for a crime which, even if it cant remove Trump from the presidency, will put a price tag on anyone associated with Trump.
The media, which is cheering all this, has announced that this was Trumps worst week, the beginning of the end if not the end. There is a giddiness on anti-Trump media and social media that hasnt been seen since the Access Hollywood tape.
Whats the likelihood this will make a difference?
Selena Zito in the NY Post doesnt think its going to shake support for Trump, Why Trumps supporters wont care about Cohen and Manaforts convictions:
In the aftermath of Tuesdays news that both former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and his lawyer Michael Cohen were found on the wrong side of the law in separate court cases, the question asked most frequently by the press, Democrats and Never Trump Republicans is, Where do Trump voters go now?
The answer is the same that it has always been since they first started asking it Nov. 9, 2016: With Trump.
This new conservative populist coalition is not the fluke the political class hoped it was. Donald Trump did not cause it, he is just the result of it, so no matter what he does, it continues. It is predicated on them, not him .
Right now the value of Trump to the Trump voter is he is all that stands between them and handing the keys to Washington back over to the people inside Washington. Thats it. Hes their only option. Youve got to pick the insiders or him.
Id use slightly different wording:
Right now the value of Trump to the Trump voter is he is all that stands between them and the people who hate them every bit as much as they hate Trump.
Or if you want an even shorter version, the Flight 93 Election never ended:
2016 is the Flight 93 election: charge the cockpit or you die. You may die anyway. Youor the leader of your partymay make it into the cockpit and not know how to fly or land the plane. There are no guarantees.
Except one: if you dont try, death is certain. To compound the metaphor: a Hillary Clinton presidency is Russian Roulette with a semi-auto. With Trump, at least you can spin the cylinder and take your chances.
Trump voters are berated and belittled with the same ferocity as directed at Trump himself. #TheResistance doesnt distinguish between Trump and his voters.
We all understand that what is being done to Trump is simply a continuation of the attempt to unwind the 2016 election. And that if they succeed, the IRS abuses against the Tea Party and conservatives will seem like childs play.
Trump is but one Brave man against thousands and thousands of DC
swamp rats. God bless and watch over him.
I pray that same prayer several times per day, giving thanks along the way.
Trump is the Last Chance Motel for those of us who value the Constitution and our founders’ heritage of faith and duty-to-the-death.
The problem for the #resistance is that the deplorables stand
between them and the President.
The article is right on. The 2016 election was the Flight 93 election. Win or die (or at least be enslaved). Trump needs allies; almost the entire government/uniparty is against him. His base must become his army.
If by #TheResistance they mean the #HateAmericaProgressives then, yes, opposing them is Trump’s value to me.
70 to 150 million of us. And we’re armed. Many of us are veterans, active duty, law enforcement, hunters, shooting sports enthusiasts, bow hunters, security, retired police and military, former intelligence, truck drivers, pilots, machinists, coders, hackers, graphic artists and farmers/ranchers.
Excellent. Folks need to remember Trump can count on the base but the GOPe would sell us to the RATs.
“God bless and watch over him.”
HE will, But to make HIS job easier I and others like me will stand in front of POTUS!
The Media and the Dems need to be careful about what they wish for....
He stands between us and total domination/power by the left. He stands between us and no more elections.
He stands between freedom for our grandchildren and dictatorship.
He stands between Christianity and “other preferred religions (used loosely)”.
He stands between light and darkness.
You forgot electricians. MUST. HAVE. POWER.
My uncle and cousins were heavy duty electricians in Florida for many years. Had a Winnabego to travel to job sites up and down the state.
I wouldn’t count on LEO, active OR retired.
The value of Trump to the Trump voter is that he stands between them and the destruction of the USA.
Trump voters ARE the resistance!
He stands between his voters and the end of America.
