Trump talks in a way that most normal people have been talking for decades.
Just when we need to choose our leader, to pull America out of the ditch, along comes tabloid Yellow Journalism. By the way, if I had contact with Princess Diana in her days of stunning beauty, I would hope for just a kiss from her adorable lips. To say anything less is not being an honest man. Wow! And The Donald sent her bushels of flowers. Amazing.
Do you even KNOW, personally, well enough to far MORE than hello, ANYONE in his socio-economic class? I doubt it.
OTOH, I sure do and many, including the women, say far worse things than he ever has, publicly, and they're from far OLDER money than Trump, to boot!
When little known Chris McDaniel beat entrenched RINO U.S. Senator Thad Cochran in the first Mississippi primary of 2014 it triggered a series of events that became known simply as
"Mississippi 14"
The entrenched DC republican elite developed a plan to destroy McDaniel before the run-off primary. They decided to call McDaniel a racist, pay for print and broadcast attack ads, request help from black Mississippi pastors, and pay Democrats, preachers and voters to vote in the run-off election. Republicans in DC attacking a republican outsider.
Their Machiavellian plan worked.
In the run-off Chris McDaniel again beat Thad Cochran with Republican voters, but the paid-to-vote Democrats lifted Cochran back onto the throne in the elite Republican Chamber.
Against the desperation of a South Carolina victory for Donald Trump, and now a Nevada victory for Donald Trump, the DC Republican team have re-enlisted the exact same players to roll out a similar nuclear attack approach against the outsider Republican.
Appearing on Bloomberg News the former Mississippi architect, Stuart Stevens, and Mississippi financier/bag-man, Henry Barbour, who carried out the Mississippi Strategy , openly admit their intent to use the same level of vitriol to remove Donald Trump.
(L-R) Stuart Stevens – Mark Halprin – Henry Barbour
See the Video Here (at 23:10) as Stuart Stevens and Henry Barbour are assembled again to discuss the process of “taking down Trump”. Stevens fully admits to the Mississippi 2014 strategy and how it will work in 2016 against Donald Trump.
So how do they do it? Simple, it's war. A thermonuclear political war. There are no boundaries, there are no rules, there is nothing too far, there is nothing held back.
They run attack ads, they'll shout names and make up malicious smears; they'll follow the candidate around to make noise at rallies; they lie about anything and everything; they'll pay anyone and everyone to assist, and they don't care if the high-information voter knows what they are doing; it's all part of the overall scorched earth plan.
They'll pay people to do and say anything, ANYTHING. Winning is all that counts. Destroying the opponent is all that matters. Every means justifies that end. Period.
The GOPe have already hired actresses and actors to appear in the attack ads and to make personal appearances, as actors, during Trump events. The hiring agency is Talent Direct Agency (TDA). The actors and production teams are working out the script details right now.
More than likely the construct begins tomorrow with the CNN debate. Expect a full media assist from an ideological corporate media empire who also has skin in the game and corporate ownership who also see candidate Donald Trump as a risk.
A thrilled attendee for the bloodbath, NRO's Charles Cooke, puts it this way:
[…] Tomorrow night, as they stand on either side of Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz must find their resolve and all-but-machine-gun the man to the floor.
Without breaks for water or silence for applause, they must explain that Trump is an entitled mess whose business record is so questionable that he managed to bankrupt a casino; that he is an unashamed fraud who didn't even wait to be elected president before folding on Planned Parenthood and Obamacare, exactly like the feckless Congress he is running against; that he is feigning religiosity to appeal to people he believes are rubes; and, above all, that whatever he may be pretending now, he has spent a lifetime screwing the little guy.
They must repeat verbatim his previous words on amnesty; they must outline in detail how his policies will make life worse for everyone; and they must point out that a Trump nomination designed to "mix things up" will result, eventually, in more of the same.
In the meantime, conservatives who are not running for president must ensure that every spare dollar is spent attacking Trump. Melt down the fences if you have to; we need long-range bombers here.
If Donald Trump can flood the airwaves with his nonsense, his opponents can counter it incessantly. And while they are at it, they can tie him up in court, just as he's trying to do to Cruz. There are a good number of "just asking" questions ready to be put to them, among them "Trump's mother was Scottish, can he really be president?" and "Trump ran a host of scams designed to rip off the poor; surely one of them would like to sue him?"
Thus far, part of Trump's media strategy has been to say something outrageous and then to move on before it can be rebutted or fact-checked. Why are his rivals not doing the same thing to him? Why, moreover, are the men in charge of the big guns all but flirting with the snipers on the other side? (read more)
Perhaps now you can better appreciate why Mitt Romney is joining the effort and throwing anything against the wall to see if it will stick:
On Wednesday's "Your World" on FOX News, former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney told Neil Cavuto that Donald Trump's tax returns may prove he hasn't been honest about his money.
Romney suggests the bombshell could include him lying about his wealth or that he has not made all those charity donations he claims to have made.
(link)You see, it doesn't actually matter if there's any truth to the claim, the goal is to create an absurd hurricane wind of inbound attacks driven with increasing ferocity by the corporate media who will demand the candidate to respond.
In Mississippi 2014 Chris McDaniel was not racist, nor was there anything remotely linking him to anything racist; the goal is to push the candidate away from their campaigning, the truth is irrelevant.
Once the GOPe force the candidate away from campaigning, then they begin selling the false story and using the actors/actresses, or preachers, to deliver an outcome.
By the time the next debate on Fox comes around, well, it'll be peak DEFCON-5 thermonuclear political button pushing because, quite simply, they have nothing to lose.
I wonder why people are on their high horses about Trump’s “tone.” Do you suppose it is a device used to bring someone down without arguing the merits of what they say?
These politico professionals show how deep they are in the fantasy world of the Unicorn Farm. The problem is they dupe so many into believing the bad guys are good and the good guys are bad.
Class act. Fifth grade class.
Trump is disgusting.
I think they just have nothing better to criticize with and they’re flailing against Trump with anything they possibly can.
Either that, or they’re nostalgists trying to live vicariously through a romanticized view of the 1800s where they imagine most everyone was super polite and upright and no one ever said a bad word, etc. Which would be entirely hokum.
Obama has been cool as a cuke—has not used too much salty language...yet look what he has brought to the country.. I would take a couple “sh*ts or d*mns” by someone who loved the country instead of what we have endured...
It is 2016—I don’t use salty language around my grand kids or my kids, but it is on TV, it is in music, and it is used in homes everywhere.
Given the state of the world, I don’t care about Trump’s salty Language...seriously, I don’t if he can stop the status quo in Washington. I think a lot of the outrage was overblown by the GOPe and the Cruz supporters here...
Geez we have bcome so politically correct...every word is now the p-word, the b-word, the d-word ...we are running out of abbreviations...I won’t get into specfics as it is 3 a.m.
Like Jerry Falwell Jr. said, if you are sick, you look for the best doctor to heal you. I actually had to seek out a surgeon for my daughter when she was just a tot... turns out the best surgeon was gruff and was rumored to have a bad bedside manner...I didn’t care, I want best surgeon... You know what? The surgery went beautifully, and the doc had a great bedside manner with my little girl, after all.
This country is sick...We need the best candidate to heal the country...I really believe Trump has the skills and will surround himself with the expertise to fix a lot of the problems...He is not bought and paid for by GOPe or the Global cabal.
Oh, and I am not one of the uneducated to whom you have referred in other posts...
Trump, like most Baby Boomers lived through some big changes in our culture. When he was of age, it was a time when men dominated women. It was the sexual revolution when women were sex objects and men worked hard to get as many as they could in bed. Hugh Hefner was the icon of the handsome, very wealthy guy who had a mansion full of Playboy Bunnies. Well, if you saw photos of how good The Donald looked in his youth and knew he was from a wealthy family, he would have fit the part of a womanizer. Woman would have sought him, and they did. Somehow, people are not seeing the context.
These days, being “uneducated” doesn’t necessarily preclude one from being a learned person, especially if you’re taking about public schools and universities.
To whom are you referring; Cruz and Rubio? Then yes, very childish behavior.
True and neither have they any actual experience with people in the uppermost levels of the socio-economic class and/or those from “old money”. LOL
Trump, as a Baby Boomer, lived through the years of the sexual revolution. All kinds of conventions were being changed. The salty language emerged with all the other changes. People were smoking pot in the movie theaters and sliding down mud slides naked. Free love, drugs and rock and roll were moving the cultural foul lines out of the park. To see how far out people were in that era makes Trump look like a Boy Scout. His education at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania did him well. It was not like Bill Clinton who slept his way through Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, only to flunk out and face the draft. If you heard how der Slickmeister talks, you would wonder how he got over on the American people. When I saw him in 1969 in Oslo, he talked just like me, a sailor.
OTOH, you have most of that right.
Yet, they expect some one massive wealth to behave in some idealized way, because they don't actually KNOW anyone in those circles; neither do they know how Trump behaves in social situations. LOL
Yes, Trump was just a kid then, not even in his mid 50’s. It’s like his other youthful indiscretions, like all of his life as a Democrat; he was only in his 60’s then. Who hasn’t been a Democrat up until he is 65 or so. Old news indeed. And how else is a businessman to get by, after all? All good businessmen support abortion, too, right? I mean it’s required and understandable. Anymore shallow sophistries to share? You may be willing to make a faustian pact with Trump and his opportunistic approach. I’m not.
I am very well educated and he and I have that common.
Trump did NOT spend most of his life as a DEM; Reagan did.
Democrats used to defend Clinton in this way. It’s no surprise that Trump wanted so badly to be friends with Bill. And now we see the hypocrisy of so many people who will defend Trump despite really being nothing more than a richer and more bombastic man than the rube Clinton.
