JENNIFER RUBIN: Trump, Cruz and Paul emerge as Todd Akin Republicans
The Washington Post's Right Turn ^ | June 30, 2015 | Jennifer Rubin, Queen of the CINOs

One news cycle after another was devoted to his ignorant remarks. He lived up to the cartoon portrait of a clueless misogynist and made the party once again seem like the party of rich, old white guys who cannot relate to modern America.

In the 2016 election, Donald Trump appears on the scene popping off about immigrants and spewing nasty rhetoric. It was enough to cause NBC to break its ties with him, and the network will not air either “The Apprentice” or the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants:

The network, which has been under pressure to fire Trump since last week when Univision announced it would not air Trump’s Miss USA pageant in Spanish, said in a statement that “respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values.”

They all work for The Cheap Labor Express and they have been paid to support only amnesty candidates. Bush and Rubberio mostly.

Akin was probably closer to winning than losers McCain and Romney. But the political class is never responsible for losses. In fact, they don’t even care.

She’s got her finger up her own rectum, if you’ll pardon my imagery.

It’s an measure of the thickness of the bubble around the DC swamp that the Post would call Rubin’s blog Right anything.

She has the long knives out for any and all in the GOP every single day.

You’re the reason I just tried to gouge out my eyes with a rusty melon scoop. I hope you’re happy.

I love to demonstrate the insularity of the Beltway/Manhattan GOPe with her columns every now and again. You were using her for your own ends. See the difference?

There is no difference at all. I see hypocrisy beyond end.

But, unlike you who could not apparently move on I will.

Later.
