To the Republican pundits...a response to Jonah Goldberg....Heard it on Rush...

[2aguy]

This is a response to a column by a conservative pundit, Jonah Goldberg...and it details why conservatives, who would normally not give Trump any love......are ready to give him a chance....

Oh...and is it true that Trump is getting 25% of the black vote?

And on to the article.....

An Open Letter To Jonah Goldberg - RE: The GOP and Donald Trump

Here’s a list of those modern conservative “small(er) government” principles:

• Did the GOP secure the border with control of the White House and Congress? NO.
• Did the GOP balance the budget with control of the White House and Congress? NO.

• Who gave us the TSA? The GOP
• Who gave us the Patriot Act? The GOP
• Who expanded Medicare to include prescription drug coverage? The GOP
• Who created the precursor of “Common Core” in “Race To the Top”? The GOP

• Who played the race card in Mississippi to re-elect Thad Cochran? The GOP
• Who paid Democrats to vote in the Mississippi primary? The GOP
• Who refused to support Ken Cuccinnelli in Virginia? The GOP

• Who supported Charlie Crist? The GOP
• Who supported Arlen Spector? The GOP
• Who supported Bob Bennett? The GOP

• Who worked against Marco Rubio? The GOP
• Who worked against Rand Paul? The GOP
• Who worked against Ted Cruz? The GOP
• Who worked against Mike Lee? The GOP
• Who worked against Jim DeMint? The GOP
• Who worked against Ronald Reagan? The GOP

• Who said “I think we are going to crush [the Tea Party] everywhere.”? The GOP (McConnell)

And, you wonder why we’re frustrated, desperate for a person who can actually articulate some kind of push-back? Mitch McConnell and John Boehner are what the GOP give us? SERIOUSLY?

Which leads to the next of your GOP talking points. Where you opine on Fox:

“Politics is a game where you don’t get everything you want”

Fair enough. But considering we of questionable judgment have simply been demanding common sense, ie. fiscal discipline, a BUDGET would be nice.

The last federal budget was passed in September of 2007, and EVERY FLIPPING INSUFFERABLE YEAR we have to go through the predictable fiasco of a Government Shutdown Standoff and/or a Debt Ceiling increase specifically because there is NO BUDGET!

That’s a strategy?

That’s the GOP strategy? Essentially: Lets plan for an annual battle against articulate Democrats and Presidential charm, using a creepy guy who cries and another old mumbling fool who dodders, knowing full well the MSM is on the side of the other guy to begin with?

 

[The Rabbi]

utter bullshit.

• Did the GOP secure the border with control of the White House and Congress? NO.

• Who created the precursor of “Common Core” in “Race To the Top”? The GOP

Fuck the GOP. Time to deStarkify them

 

[Rotagilla]

brilliant...

2aguy is correct in EVERY ONE of the facts listed. It is very sad, but 100% true! It is also why the top Republican candidates are not "beltway" politicians. If Democratic politicians are the biggest liars and propagandists, the Republican establishment only lost by mere percentage points.

I would ask establishment republicans who believe that THIS republican congress has done well; to tell everyone ONE thing that they promised to do, they have even attempted. While politics is all about power I suppose, do NOT sit there and try to tell anyone that the mainstream republicans are just "trying to save the country." No they aren't! They are trying to get ahold of the apparatus, nothing more, nothing less. This is EXACTLY why most Republicans have had it! And this time it is going to work. If you add the top non-politicians running along with Ted Cruz whom both sides despise, you will see it is more than 50%. The establishment is done, and if they pull a fast one in an open convention, they are done anyway because we won't vote for them. You either choose those with the most delegates, or forget it, and let the democrat win hands down.

Trump is exposing the GOP for the spineless, batshit crazy, bigoted organization it has become. They can't stop him because there isn't a single testicle in the house.

Trump will self-destruct, but not before the rest of us enjoy the barbecue.

No, what he appears in it for, is to shape the discussion; which he has done very well; much to the chagrin of both establishment republicans, and democrats. The new polls show him losing to Hilly by no more than 6 points at this moment, and that is terrific with the rhetoric he is using. 6 points can be made up in a week, let alone 13 months.

And what if he does self destruct as you say? The next 3 or 4 in line are saying almost the same thing, albeit with a little more social grace.

It appears to me the lefties argument that what is being brought up by Republicans is a massive LOSER is a red herring, wouldn't you say; if you are only leading by the biggest spread of 6 in one poll?

Here, let me translate that for you---------------------->no, no, no, don't bring these problems up, because if you do, the pissed American taxpayer might very well vote, and they know we Democrats FLEECE them, so they will not vote for us-)

Here is another article about how clueless the conservative pundits are...again based off of Goldberg's column.

This one is by one of my favorite writers at Breitbart...John Nolte...

Jonah Goldberg and the Anti-Trump Bourgeoisie - Breitbart

Why Trump Is Winning

Goldberg writes, “Trump has the charisma, I’ll grant him that. But there is no evidence he’s thought deeply about the job beyond how much classier it will be once he has it.”

Does that mean Trump’s supporters should go with the same Jeb Bush who still can’t answer a no-brainer question about Iraq? Scott Walker, who can’t seem to answer any question? How about John “Jesus told me to expand the destructive Welfare State” Kasich? Or maybe Mike “libido” Huckabee?

Here’s what Trump’s supporters do know about their guy, and for now at least, that’s good enough:

1. Trump will build the border wall.

After saying he would build the border wall, for two long months our corrupt media, in a desperate bid to disqualify this policy, dropped Trump in The Barrel. He was called every “ist” in the book, boycotted by numerous business partners, and more times than I can count, called “road kill” by all The Smart People.

This media storm (aided by some weak-kneed Republicans) only served to boost Trump because unlike so many in the Republican Party, when confronted by a media attack, Trump not only refused to back down, he effectively fought back.

Those in favor of The Wall are neither racist nor nativist nor rubes. In fact they are smarter than many of the so-called GOP intellectuals hurling those insults because The Rubes “get it” — they understand that our open border is an existential threat to conservatism, and by extension America. It’s this simple: We either fix this problem or left-wing Democrats win a permanent majority and the Obama-era never ends.

Maybe the bourgeois GOP are too “smart” to grasp such a simple concept. Nevertheless, it is perfectly conservative to be a one issue voter on this one issue.

1. Trump will kill terrorists.

Again, maybe the proles aren’t smart enough to grasp why bombing the oil fields funding ISIS is a bad idea. Regardless, Trump is persuasively aggressive on another existential threat to our way of life: Islamic terrorism.

1. Trump promises to simplify the tax code and lower middle class taxes.

Goldberg is correct that Trump has leapt from the flat tax to the fair tax to taxing the wealthy. But one area where he’s been entirely consistent is simplifying a corrupt tax code.

4. Billionaire Trump says he can’t be bought by special interests.

It’s hard for some to grasp just what a big deal this is. It also connects directly to simplifying a tax code corrupted beyond human comprehension by the crony capitalism that has created an indefensible tax policy. Sure, other Republican candidates claim they will do the same but Trump supporters have heard this promise many times before, and always from Republican candidates beholden to the same crony contributors who benefit from unlimited corporate welfare.

1. Trump is a legitimate outsider.

The media hate him. The GOP establishment hates him. The grifters in the Consultant Class hate him. Newflash: A large and growing part of The Base now hate a Republican Party they see as having repeatedly sold them out on conservative issues like immigration, taxes, controlling the size of government, and kowtowing to special interests like the Chamber of Commerce.

This Establishment hate is for Trump the gift that keeps on giving.

1. Trump is expanding The Base.

For decades, as their way of life was buried with only a rusted-out factory for a tombstone, the working class among the Rustbelt have been summarily ignored by both political parties. Trump has been speaking to them for decades (China. Japan. Mexico. Trade.)

While the bourgeois GOP push to expand the Party by pandering to millions who came here illegally, Trump hasn’t forgotten the millions who got royally screwed and then forgotten and ignored after doing nothing more than playing by the rules.

1. Trump fights … and wins.

Goldberg writes, “And now, in a moment of passion, many of my comrades-in-arms are throwing it all away in a fit of pique. Because ‘Trump fights!’”

That’s is a good line, a line used by many in the Establishment to mock Trump’s supporters. It’s also a dishonest line.

Trump doesn’t just fight. Trump wins. The man’s been declared doornail dead by the media and the Establishment more often than all the successors to Leonid Brezhnev (I’m getting good at this) combined. And yet, The Donald always manages to come back stronger and in better shape than he did before.

He’s beating the media. He’s beating the GOP Establishment. He’s beating Fox News. He’s beating the hundred-million dollar man Jeb.

So basically Trump is better than the worst candidates in teh GOP because he promises to do all kinds of neat-o stuff we all love. Even though he hasnt said word one as to how he will do these things, nor does he have any experience working with people who disagree with him.
Geez the GOP has become the Party of the Rubes, willing to believe whatever someone says because some alternative out there is worse.
Just wow.

Rabbi, you know we agree on most things....you are just missing the point here. For election after election the Republicans have made promises to the base, and the base has delivered landslide victories. Then, when it was time for the republicans to actually do something with that power....they didn't. They could have stopped obamacare and the other things mentioned. The Trump phenomena is simply the base realizing that the Republicans have promised over and over and never delivered and in fact have actually attacked the base....McCain, McConnel and the others have attacked the Tea Party, Ted Cruz and the others who have tried to get some things done....

Bush said he wants to win without the support of the base....after all the base has done to give republicans their majorities....

Some have decided that the republicans have promised and lied...so how much worse can Trump be....and at least he can and does take on the press.

In the least, Trump is teaching republicans how to deal with the press and leftists when they attack.

Aren't you tired of watching the same republican responses when the left calls them racists, sexists and homophobes....? And they don't know how to respond or fight back.

I myself support Walker but will more than likely vote for Firoina.....she is competent and women want to vote for a woman.....There are actual republican women who say they are going to vote for hilary simply because she is a woman.......sad.

I understand the Trump wave.......and the pundits need to learn to appreciate the base or they are going to put the republican party out to pasture.

So the solution to Republicans not following through on what the base wants is to support a Republican who has supported higher taxes, single payer health care, gun rights restrictions, and gay marriage? Rly?
Fiorina is a joke. And no women will not vote for her just because she's a woman.
You want a meat eater,vote Cruz.

For decades, as their way of life was buried with only a rusted-out factory for a tombstone, the working class among the Rustbelt have been summarily ignored by both political parties. Trump has been speaking to them for decades (China. Japan. Mexico. Trade.)

While the bourgeois GOP push to expand the Party by pandering to millions who came here illegally, Trump hasn’t forgotten the millions who got royally screwed and then forgotten and ignored after doing nothing more than playing by the rules.

1. Trump fights … and wins.

Goldberg writes, “And now, in a moment of passion, many of my comrades-in-arms are throwing it all away in a fit of pique. Because ‘Trump fights!’”

That’s is a good line, a line used by many in the Establishment to mock Trump’s supporters. It’s also a dishonest line.

Trump doesn’t just fight. Trump wins. The man’s been declared doornail dead by the media and the Establishment more often than all the successors to Leonid Brezhnev (I’m getting good at this) combined. And yet, The Donald always manages to come back stronger and in better shape than he did before.

He’s beating the media. He’s beating the GOP Establishment. He’s beating Fox News. He’s beating the hundred-million dollar man Jeb.

So basically Trump is better than the worst candidates in teh GOP because he promises to do all kinds of neat-o stuff we all love. Even though he hasnt said word one as to how he will do these things, nor does he have any experience working with people who disagree with him.
Geez the GOP has become the Party of the Rubes, willing to believe whatever someone says because some alternative out there is worse.
Just wow.

Rabbi,

Look at the list that Notle and the other author point out........the republicans of the establishment have promised the same things and not delivered, even after being given the House and Senate...and it isn't just that obama can veto what they do......he doesn't seem to have a problem using his power to get what he wants.......

Trump doesn't ridicule or disrespect the people who are attending his rallies....McCain did....McConnel did....

And he fights.....Remember when that Radio Host, a supporter of McCain, introduced obama and he used obama's full name...and the McCain people called him on it...because they didn't want to antagonize peopel.....

Remember when Rommey ran....and didn't fight.....

The conservatives are tired of working to give republicans power, just to be mocked and lied to by the people they elect.

Remember when Jeb said he was going to win without the republican base....what kind of guy says that?

 

[The Rabbi]

Here is another article about how clueless the conservative pundits are...again based off of Goldberg's column.

This one is by one of my favorite writers at Breitbart...John Nolte...

Jonah Goldberg and the Anti-Trump Bourgeoisie - Breitbart

Why Trump Is Winning

Goldberg writes, “Trump has the charisma, I’ll grant him that. But there is no evidence he’s thought deeply about the job beyond how much classier it will be once he has it.”

Does that mean Trump’s supporters should go with the same Jeb Bush who still can’t answer a no-brainer question about Iraq? Scott Walker, who can’t seem to answer any question? How about John “Jesus told me to expand the destructive Welfare State” Kasich? Or maybe Mike “libido” Huckabee?

Here’s what Trump’s supporters do know about their guy, and for now at least, that’s good enough:

1. Trump will build the border wall.

After saying he would build the border wall, for two long months our corrupt media, in a desperate bid to disqualify this policy, dropped Trump in The Barrel. He was called every “ist” in the book, boycotted by numerous business partners, and more times than I can count, called “road kill” by all The Smart People.

This media storm (aided by some weak-kneed Republicans) only served to boost Trump because unlike so many in the Republican Party, when confronted by a media attack, Trump not only refused to back down, he effectively fought back.

Those in favor of The Wall are neither racist nor nativist nor rubes. In fact they are smarter than many of the so-called GOP intellectuals hurling those insults because The Rubes “get it” — they understand that our open border is an existential threat to conservatism, and by extension America. It’s this simple: We either fix this problem or left-wing Democrats win a permanent majority and the Obama-era never ends.

Maybe the bourgeois GOP are too “smart” to grasp such a simple concept. Nevertheless, it is perfectly conservative to be a one issue voter on this one issue.

1. Trump will kill terrorists.

Again, maybe the proles aren’t smart enough to grasp why bombing the oil fields funding ISIS is a bad idea. Regardless, Trump is persuasively aggressive on another existential threat to our way of life: Islamic terrorism.

1. Trump promises to simplify the tax code and lower middle class taxes.

Goldberg is correct that Trump has leapt from the flat tax to the fair tax to taxing the wealthy. But one area where he’s been entirely consistent is simplifying a corrupt tax code.

4. Billionaire Trump says he can’t be bought by special interests.

It’s hard for some to grasp just what a big deal this is. It also connects directly to simplifying a tax code corrupted beyond human comprehension by the crony capitalism that has created an indefensible tax policy. Sure, other Republican candidates claim they will do the same but Trump supporters have heard this promise many times before, and always from Republican candidates beholden to the same crony contributors who benefit from unlimited corporate welfare.

1. Trump is a legitimate outsider.

The media hate him. The GOP establishment hates him. The grifters in the Consultant Class hate him. Newflash: A large and growing part of The Base now hate a Republican Party they see as having repeatedly sold them out on conservative issues like immigration, taxes, controlling the size of government, and kowtowing to special interests like the Chamber of Commerce.

This Establishment hate is for Trump the gift that keeps on giving.

Just wow.

Rabbi, you know we agree on most things....you are just missing the point here. For election after election the Republicans have made promises to the base, and the base has delivered landslide victories. Then, when it was time for the republicans to actually do something with that power....they didn't. They could have stopped obamacare and the other things mentioned. The Trump phenomena is simply the base realizing that the Republicans have promised over and over and never delivered and in fact have actually attacked the base....McCain, McConnel and the others have attacked the Tea Party, Ted Cruz and the others who have tried to get some things done....

Bush said he wants to win without the support of the base....after all the base has done to give republicans their majorities....

Some have decided that the republicans have promised and lied...so how much worse can Trump be....and at least he can and does take on the press.

In the least, Trump is teaching republicans how to deal with the press and leftists when they attack.

Aren't you tired of watching the same republican responses when the left calls them racists, sexists and homophobes....? And they don't know how to respond or fight back.

I myself support Walker but will more than likely vote for Firoina.....she is competent and women want to vote for a woman.....There are actual republican women who say they are going to vote for hilary simply because she is a woman.......sad.

I understand the Trump wave.......and the pundits need to learn to appreciate the base or they are going to put the republican party out to pasture.

So the solution to Republicans not following through on what the base wants is to support a Republican who has supported higher taxes, single payer health care, gun rights restrictions, and gay marriage? Rly?
Fiorina is a joke. And no women will not vote for her just because she's a woman.
You want a meat eater,vote Cruz.

I love Cruz.....he's great...he fights too. I don't know if he can get there though. The base knows Trump actually does what he says he is going to do. And he has a real world track record....he says he is going to build a building or a golf course and it gets done.....and he has done that all around the world. He has skills at organizing people and getting around obstacles.

The other republicans need to learn from Trump.

He picked out actual fights in the Republican party where the establishment republicans fought against guys like Ted Cruz and other Conservatives. I followed the fights where the weight of the party was used against the very people we elected to fix things...do you think Ted Cruz is loved by the leadership?

I cannot believe this needs to be explained.
