Somewhat of a crock. Yes, the liberals are a cause, but the GOPe is a signiicant contributing factore.
The GOPe surrendered to the liberals in order to be liked inside the beltway and to be invited to all the right Georgetown cocktail parties and to share in the looting of the country.
Just more political pigs at the trough.
Personally, I think that the GOP-e is responsible for the rise of Trump. The GOP-e has, for far too long, ignored the input and wishes of a large conservative-leaning populace, and Trump seems to have a finger on the pulse of the frustrations of this group. JMHO
“.For the record, I despise Donald Trump and I will vote for almost any Republican (well, okay, not Ben Carson) rather than Trump..”
Okay, bye.
If they’re asking whether 100+ years of liberal/progressive policies have all but destroyed America and we the people are yearning for someone screaming STOP and let’s make America great again, then yes, the liberals made Donald Trump.
Is this election shaping up like 1968 or better yet, 1972? The disgusting, evil, reprehensible, vulgar, awful, evil, disgusting Richard Nixon who was hated by everyone except us disgusting evil, reprehensible, vulgar, evil people? Or since freepers have gotten so age-conscience when it comes to women, my parent’s generation?
No, liberals are responsible for the fall of Civilization each time it falls.
Interesting article! True too.
The guy does have a point in an odd way. I also tend to blame the GOP leadership itself for being too easily cowed, but. I suppose a reminder that that left is the Prime Mover of the problem is in order.
RINO GOPe pussies are responsible for Trump.
The GOP has to shoulder a lot of reasons for Trump’s rise.
Rubio, the annointed choice of both left and right is attempting to pull away by mouthing a few Trump positions.
This evening Speaker Ryan said Obama was overreaching on gun control.
What’s the matter Ryan? The rubber stamp isn’t big enough?
Congress is useless and our “representatives” have made it so.
Liberal republicans (such as the GOPe) are the most to blame.
“Nichols is a Republican, but makes it very clear that he deeply loathes Trump (”hideous,” “narcissistic,” “creepy,” “stupid,” etc.) and will never vote for him.”
A “Republican” who loathes Trump is quoted in the article. Trump is supposedly a problem. Who is responsible for him?
Nobody is “responsible” for Trump. Trump is a successful businessman who loves America and is not afraid to speak the truth and endure the consequences. That is why we like him and want him to be president.
You got it! It is becoming tedious beyond belief to encounter one idiot after another whine and moan about Trump as a person and see their personal invectives unleashed to slander him, then find these jerks agree with everything he says. These sorts of ignoramuses are just confused, delusional chickenshorts who don’t have the stones to be real! Ignore them one and all!
Settle down detective. This is a Mother Jones article. You are repeating some of the main points here, but what you should not need to get from it is that liberals disapprove of Republican motives.
Trying to put a moral equivalence on liberal lunacy and the egregious attacks on conservatives is insane.
As a side note: Only Homos are Homophobes. They think the entire world thinks they are homos and that is unfair. When you sashay down the street acting all flamboyant and kissing the same gender to prove a point they are confirming their point.
Liberals impose P.C. Communism on America, feckless Republicans wring their hands and whine that there’s nothing they can do. So I guess this is one time when you can blame (or credit is probably the better word since “blame” makes it sound like Trump is a bad thing) “both sides” for the rise of Donald Trump.
Yep, the GOPee’s continued confirmation of the ‘rat agenda over the years has built up a deposit of disgust that is not easily wiped (with a cloth?) away.
That may be the feeling here, but in the country as a whole I suspect it has more to do with left-wing political correctness.
If you're already involved and ideological and partisan you might be p.o.'ed at Mitt Romney all the time, but a lot of people out in the country have already forgotten who Romney was and are responding to what they see on TV now.
Rage against McConnell or Boehner is something people who are already politically active have. The man in the street -- not so much. And politicians like Jeb Bush or John Kasich are so ho-hum that it's hard to think that they are the main thing anybody is reacting against.
