Trump Wins "Disavowal" Game, then Super Tuesday

As always, Ann has a brilliant analysis of this made up scandal.


Ann Coulter - March 2, 2016 - TRUMP WINS "DISAVOWAL" GAME, THEN SUPER TUESDAY

Do they have TV sets at CNN? An Internet connection? I don't work at a television network, but I saw Trump "disavow" David Duke a half-dozen times before Jake Tapper asked him to disavow Duke again last Sunday.


The question served absolutely no journalistic purpose. No new information was sought. It was just a smear, for the sole purpose of getting the words "KKK" into the same sentence as "Donald Trump."


Unsuspecting viewers who missed Trump's earlier disavowals are supposed to think, Is Trump connected with the Klan? Why else would they be asking him about David Duke?


Given that Trump did disavow Duke the day before the Tapper interview, the only explanation for his refusal to do it again is that he was ticked off by the question and decided not to play ball. (Tip for journalists: When WASPs don't want to answer impertinent questions from reporters, they often say, "I don't know," rather than the more urban "go f---yourself.")

Her comparison of Duke and Sharpton is very revealing.

As far as I know, David Duke has also never supported cop-killing. Boatloads of Hillary's supporters do -- and she plays footsie with them by endorsing #BlackLivesMatter.


I will give Hillary the benefit of the doubt, and say I do not believe that she personally supports cop-killing. But why is she seeking the votes of murderous thugs? What kind of campaign is she running that attracts such people? Will she disavow them? Is she willing to state forthrightly that cops' lives matter?


I am not aware of David Duke ever inciting a mob that went on to commit murder. Al Sharpton has -- and no Democrat can run for president without kissing his ring.


More than a decade after Duke quit the KKK, Sharpton inflamed anti-Semitic mobs in Brooklyn's Crown Heights -- mobs that were four or five times larger than the entire national KKK membership -- fueling several more days of riots, during which a man, whom the crowd believed to be Jewish, was murdered.


In December 1995, Sharpton led anti-Semitic protests against a Jewish-owned clothing store in Harlem, Freddy's Fashion Mart, which ended with a protestor bursting into the store and setting a blaze that killed seven employees.


In 1989, Sharpton libeled innocent law enforcement officers in the Tawana Brawley rape hoax -- resulting in a libel judgment against him. Then in 1990, a Sharpton-led mob screamed "Whore!" at a rape victim and roughed up cameramen outside the trial of the Central Park rapists (who were guilty).


Sharpton isn't some random nut Hillary and Bernie have vaguely heard of. Two weeks ago, Bernie Sanders publicly met with Sharpton to ask for his blessing. Hillary will be making the same pilgrimage soon. My advice is, bring your checkbook.


David Duke doesn't speak at Republican national conventions; Sharpton was given a prominent speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention less than a decade after his demagoguery outside Freddy's ended in the deaths of seven innocent people (this was also a quarter century after Duke left the Klan).


Duke isn't invited to the White House to advise Republican presidents. Sharpton has officially visited Obama's White House at least 72 times.

And a valuable piece of advice for the GOP leadership, which they will ignore.

The media probably can't believe their luck, tricking Republicans into apologizing for people they have nothing to do with, while the Democrats happily accept the support of cop-killers, rapists, murderers, anti-Semitic race hustlers and domestic terrorists.


This week, Trump trashed the GOP's time-tested groveling approach, then went on to sweep Super Tuesday. Perhaps someday, the boneless wonders in the GOP will learn.

Jillian thinks that it is funny that HIlary courts the support of a Race Baiter who has fired up mobs to the point of murder.

Do not start threads with titles in all caps. I will edit your thread this time, but in the future I will just close them.

Ironically, Trump might well be leading had he run as a Democrat.

Got it.

Why is it ironic?

Why is it ironic?

Because about 60% of Trump's supporters don't care about the issues, and the of the other 40%,

they're protectionists and isolationists who fit easily into one wing of either party.

I doubt the 60% no issues claim.

The "protectionists and isolationists" I agree they could be either party.

It would certainly have put me in an interesting bind.


IMO, running as a democrat would have reduced Race Card play, but I don't know if that would have been a plus or a minus for him.

HIs absolute contempt for the media has certainly been part of his charm.
