Did Trump Really Save America From Socialism?
American Spectator ^ | Steve Baldwin

Posted on 08/17/2018 4:17:20 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Americans need to understand that the shocking refusal by a major political party to accept the results of the last election and the onslaught of verbal, legal, and physical assaults the Democrats have engendered, are not specific to Donald Trump. In other words, it is now clear plans were made by Obama to exploit federal power during his presidency to give the Democrats control of our nation — perpetually. It really didn’t matter if Trump was the GOP nominee or not. In other words, the chaos we are witnessing today would not have been much different had, for example, Ted Cruz won the presidency.

Sure, the issues and the phony narratives would be different but the intensity of the attacks would be the same and the illegal politicizing of Federal agencies would probably still have occurred. There is little doubt the Dems would have created phony narratives customized for whoever the nominee was, similar to how they customized the Russian collusion hoax for Trump. This is what the establishment Republicans and the Never-Trumpers don’t understand. Long before Trump’s candidacy, total war was declared on the GOP when the Obama administration strategically created the conditions to make its progressive revolution a permanent one. Or so they thought.

First, let’s dump the naivety. Obama has been fully in charge of both the pre- and post- election attacks on Trump. He is the leader of the resistance. The idea that his appointees at the FBI, DOJ, IRS, CIA, State Department, etc., would risk committing multiple felonies without direction from him or his henchman is simply not believable as many long-time political leaders and observers have stated.

Obama’s fingerprints can be found everywhere in the widening scandal.

>>the chaos we are witnessing today would not have been much different had, for example, Ted Cruz won the presidency.<<

Or McCain or Romney or Ted Nugent. I have been saying from day one that the nonstop tantrum being thrown has NOTHING to do with Donald Trump per se, but rather that The Powers That Be and their Evil Hag lost what they saw as theirs by Divine Right.

It's a best a four year delay.

We still have massive socialist programs in place:

social security

medicare/Medicaid

a 20 TRILLION $$ deficit

Temporarily.

EXACTLY! Pres. Trump may be our leader for the next 6+ years, but if we neglect our Duty to our Country and our children, 'Socialism' ("Freebies for All!!!") will win.

"There is little doubt the Dems would have created phony narratives customized for whoever the nominee was, similar to how they customized the Russian collusion hoax for Trump."

I don't believe this is true. All the venom is directed at Trump because he's a real threat. The progressive reaction would have been entirely different if, for example, Jeb Bush had been elected.

Is the Pope Catholic?
Oops, nevermind.
Sure Trump saved America from the Marxists as certain as the sun rises every morning. But after him, who can fill his shoes?
Pence is a good man, but lacks the b killer instinct Trump has.
THAR is what we need.
Maybe Cruz.

No disrespect meant but no other president would have been able to withstand this onslaught

He makes interesting points. My only argument would be that if Cruz had won, we wouldn’t be hearing a word out of Paul Ryan or Kristol or George Will, etc. They are doing tremendous harm to the country.

Granted his election was the result of the desire of the voters for some real change. However President Trump seems to be the right man for the task. I can’t think of anyone who could weather the storm of opposition as well as he has. I’m really grateful that he’s made such a sacrifice for us.

you need to be patient

What you want is of no importance

What the president wants is what counts

articles like this one need to be posted on FR to counter all the stupid negative editorials on Trump.
mind u, why has Fox got the stupid Reagan Jr anti-Trump link as the first story inserted in this piece?

VIDEO: 2mins23secs: 16 Aug: Fox News: Larry Kudlow: ‘Single Biggest Event’ of 2018 Is Trump’s ‘Economic Boom Thought to Be Impossible’
As seen on Your World with Neil Cavuto
Addressing reporters in Washington, Kudlow said President Trump’s policies have led to a positive economic outlook.
In a “Fox & Friends” interview earlier Thursday, he said that the Obama White House “mantra” was that America could never surpass 2 percent gross domestic product (GDP) growth.

“Now we are growing at 4 percent, and they’re saying Obama should take credit. In other words, we couldn’t grow at 2, but uh-oh we just doubled that to 4, so we’re going to give credit to our man, No way,” Kudlow said.
He said Trump deserves credit for lowering tax rates and removing regulations on business.

17 Aug: Donald J. Trump TWEET:
In speaking with some of the world’s top business leaders I asked what it is that would make business (jobs) even better in the U.S. “Stop quarterly reporting & go to a six month system,” said one. That would allow greater flexibility & save money. I have asked the SEC to study!

Not accepting the results of the election is the LEFT’s tyranny on parade.

They are unmasking themselves.

Like the press in lockstep printing an Anti-Trump editorial and not one dissenting editorial.

But they are not a tool of the LEFT. They are objective. If they were objective, there would have been a dissenting editorial.
