Will Trump Be the Last Republican President ?
American Thinker ^ | 11/12/18 | Brian C Joondeph

Posted on 11/12/2018 4:45:58 PM PST by chiller

I believe that Donald Trump will be the last Republican president many of us will ever see in our lifetimes. We hope that he will serve two terms, but even that is not a given, despite his popularity both personally and of his MAGA agenda. I’ll call it the three D’s, in honor of Trump’s first name Donald – demeanor, demographics, and deception. (snip)...In other words, Trump is a one-off, an exception. Unlike Obama, Trump is the one we have been waiting for, after a string of wet noodles named Bush, Romney, McCain, and Ryan to name a few. But the Republican bench is thin. Who is the heir apparent? I don’t see anyone with the charisma, fire in the belly, energy, and commitment to conservative principles and values.

Here in super hunting country of northern Michigan the right loses when they are portrayed as cutting Medicare or social security.

Exactly, it was incredibly stupid to say that a week before an election. I thought McConnell was smarter then that.

The truth is that the Viet Nam draft dodger mentality in the colleges and universities became the infection that travelled up to graduate degrees, professorships and tenure to indoctrinate education majors who then spread across the nation in varying saturations. So the start was shy of fifty years but probably only started to have an effect around thirty years ago.

Now of course, some Red Diaper Babies were already at work longer ago than that, but that was just the vanguard sowing the seeds.

But THEY didn't/couldn't vote for her!

And just because some idiots, on social media think she's "amazing" doesn't mean much really. WHY? Because you don't know who they are, their ages, etc.!

Most people in her district didn't even bother to vote!

Many, who are idolizing her probably don't vote where they are.

More worrisome are those, in Texas, who voted for the FAUX "Hispanic"...Robert Francis O'Rourke!

I feel so fortunate having been born in 1947, having a normal childhood...a hard working father, and a loving mother. The innocence of that time is something that my children, and the generations that have come after will unfortunately, never experience.

Late B Day, for the cutoff date?

I too have ALWAYS voted GOP. :-)

W.S. Gilbert's lyrics, for a song in IOLANTHE, always comes to mind...:"EVERY GIRL AND BOY ALIVE, IS EITHER BORN A LITTLE LIBERAL OR A LITTLE CONSERVITIVE..." :-)

You’ve pinpointed it quite well, with one exception...the parents of the RED DIAPER BABIES, who were teachers ( as many of them were, who weren’t lawyers ) kept their views much closer to the vest and so, really only INFECTED their own kids , back then. The true ROT, in schools, slowly, very slowly, at first, began to be noticeable, in higher Ed, in the ‘70s. It was still somewhat rare in the ‘80s; however, by the ‘90s, it was full blown in colleges and universities everywhere and in some high schools.

Great post!
I agree with your sentiments completely.
War is about to be waged on a scale not seen in decades in the Middle East. Barbarians are flooding the Western Christian world relentlessly.
This viscous cycle of Sodom and Baal culture cannot continue without consequences.
California seems to be reaping its rewards with the nonstop disasters they’ve been having over the past few years.
I expect more of that to happen as we progress towards Final Judgement.
Christians will be persecuted relentlessly IMHO. We’re the only thing holding back the flames of hell from enveloping the Earth.

I won’t be weeping for the lost on Judgement Day either.
They get exactly what they deserve.

A great many?
Probably 95% of the population want nothing to do with Him.
We will reap what we sow. Some sooner than others.

Why is Don, Jr., not eligible?

His mother was NOT an American citizen at the time of his birth. And YES, it DOES matter, no matter what some here erroneously claim to the contrary.

He might be. If Republicans are comfortable having no say in their future and being ruled by communists, whose primary objective is to rob noncommunists blind. I don’t see that happening.

FYI; There have been 7 presidents already who had mothers who were not citizens at the time of birth, so Jr. is certainly eligible.

I wish the founders could have a do over. If they saw the state of the country, they’d put English as official language and no anchor babies among other things like no voting until 30.

And term limits.

As I’ve been reading through the OT about the Jews from King David on, and watching their demise, it’s history repeating itself.

I just recently reread The Harbinger, and I’ll tell you, I’ve been seeing the recent developments in a new light and it’s fascinating and horrifying at the same time.

It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

Demographics - Yet most white ‘conservatives’ will continue to ignore It.

Demographics isn’t the problem here. This is a rogues gallery of misfits, losers and assholes.


Let me see if I can guess!

Mitt Romney - loser, asshole.
John McCain - misfit, loser and SUPREME asshole.
George W. Bush - loser, misfit, asshole.
Bob Dole - loser, misfit.

Funny. I see it just the other way around. So many people here insist that it DOES matter but I have yet to see any proof that it does.

Plus, in the functional world we live in, NO ONE is going to stop someone from running because their parents weren’t born here. It just isn’t going to happen.
