Just a few weeks ago the MSM was insisting that Trump’s influence was waning.

That's what I was going to say!

It is not ‘Trumps dominance’ per se.

It is REPUBLICANS rejecting democrat (redacted).

When your political enemy offers some advice, don’t take it.
“You’d be much more popular dumping Trump and going with Kasich or Jeb. Crowd appeal, sensible views, they’ve got it all. With Liz Cheney as VP.”

There was a book Beware the Naked Man Who Offers You His Shirt by Harvey Mackay. Self-help and management advice.
He said the title was an African saying.

Applies to the failing Leftist newspaper sector.

The Grand Plan to bring CA thinking East is now in danger.
It was stopped in WY and seriously damaged in AZ.
Now if ID, UT and NV can continue the fight....

Why does the WaPo keep doing critical analysis after analysis of Republicans and the Republican Party? Isn’t it odd that they never ever do ongoing critical analyses of Democrats or the state of the Democrat Party? I mean never.

And who’s worried? Why, those losing influence.

And, of course, we have to focus on Trump as being evil and placing everyone under a spell as the reason why influence is being lost by these wonderful, noble people like Mitch, Williard, Liz, W and the gang. People the media love as being designated losers.

But never ever does the simple little question (that they know the answer to) get asked.

If Trump is not such an ideal personality, a horrid personality as THEY INSIST, then why is he so influential?

Of course, their go to answer is to slam the electorate as being flushable scum that put this man into power. A people worthy of a police state and camps.

But the answer that they don’t want to say out loud is that it is the POLICIES that got Trump elected!!! If he had been a “compassionate conservative” he would have gone nowhere.

We are on to their globalist kabuki dance. We are on to their elitist, ruling class privilege and we know the consequences of it. We get flushed into the bin of serfdom.

It is not about Trump the person or celebrity or whatever. Trump was the first candidate in forever to find and vocalize the frustration and concerns that ALREADY EXISTED. You know, the concerns and frustrations that the GOPe promised time and again to fix while winking and nodding at their globalist masters. Then, once elected, having a good laugh at having fooled the rubes again. In contrast, Trump got elected and backed up the promises.

Why does it always take 3 ‘journalists’ to write a Trump hit piece?

If the same was miraculously being said about Biden and the Dims, would any lamestream media arm have any concern???? No.

TDS dies hard.

It’s not nice to mess with Mother Nature.

The RINO’s are like horses bread with donkeys. They are the cousins of Jackasses.

“The establishment better watch it because if he gets elected, he’s not going to make the same mistake by letting them remain as he did in his first term.”

Schedule F, baby!
