Bill Maher Afraid of "Permanent Republican Majority"; Trump Has Drudge behind him!
RealClearPolitics ^ | July 1, 2017 | RealClearPolitics

Posted on 07/01/2017 8:57:18 AM PDT by i88schwartz

On Friday night's edition of HBO's Real Time, host Bill Maher expressed his concern of a permanent Republican majority. Maher noted that Trump has the power of incumbency, has Republican state legislatures behind him, has the ability to nominate at least two Supreme Court Justices, and the backing of FOX News, Breitbart, and Drudge. He also warned that Trump "hasn't even played his war card yet," and "could start a war and get a lot of support" from that.

Bill actually has an inkling of what is really going on. Good thing it will be swallowed up by all the Russia Russia Russia #resist noise.

Trump has a relection battle plan: keep the eastern states happy. He also has a head start on 2020.

A funny thing happened on the way to the permanent democrat dynasty.

"40 More Years: How the Democrats Will Rule the Next Generation"

He also warned that Trump "hasn't even played his war card yet," and "could start a war and get a lot of support" from that.

The repulsive Maher has left out one of Trump's biggest fields of support: an unabashedly biased and deceptive media and a platoon of unhinged, crazier-by-the-day liberals committing acts of violence, lunacy and general anarchy. Those two camps are turning voters away from democrats all the time...

Those three represent over half the Country. He has figured that out now.

This is America. There's supposed to be a “Permanent Republican Majority” of real American-centric representatives.

Trump has Drudge?

Hillary had: ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, Wash Post, and pretty much every other newspaper in the country.

If it wasn’t for the electoral college we would probably have a permanent democratic/socialist majority - thank god for the foresight of the founding fathers.

This is fantasy. If anything politics swings back and forth but I will admit Trump is like a monkey wrench thrown into the works. He may indeed change a great deal of how politics moves forward.

I can see some truth to the post. We should not get too full of ourselve. Of course Reagan didn’t need to play the ‘war card’.

I’d rather have Drudge behind me than against me.
Just ask Slick Willie and Corrupt Hillary.

Obama was a wuss who CNN and everyone else handled with kid gloves because they feared being called a racist if they told the truth about him. - - Don Surber

Journalists's thin-skinned hatred of President Trump is their downfall - similar to their fawning butt kissing of President Obama. There's reason 'old school' journalist standards from the past worked. Survival.

New York Times, Washington Post, AP, CNN and MSM fools - are destroying their own credibility...

gibsonguy - it's WHY “FOX News, Breitbart, and Drudge” have all the power they need to insure future wins. -----------------------------

Mahr is even dumber than I thought...

“backing of FOX News, Breitbart, and Drudge.”

Let’s look at that, and the audiences of each. Then compare them to the media and entertainment industry that oppose, or even slander republicans:

Broadcast network TV, with audiences that dwarf the number of people who watch Fox News: ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR.

Print media that again, far dwarf the readers of non-leftist rags: NY Slimes, NY Post, LA Times, Boston Globe, Washington Post, and the list goes on and on.

Drudge & Breitbart? I guess Mahr has never heard of the gazillion of hard left sites, like Slate, Daily Coz, etc...

And then there’s the entire entertainment industry...

I just realized it... To Mahr, “fairness” in media is when there’s no opposing views to his.

If Trump cracks down on voter fraud, you'll NEVER see a Democrat majority again.

Chris Matthews had a tingle up his leg with 0bama, now he has a tinkle down his leg with president Trump.

Maher too.

Yes indeed. The west and east coast, and the leftist urban metropolitan ares, would decide every national election (which the left thinks should be the case).
