Another conservative with a spine

Recommended Posts

George F. Will, a columnist with impeccable conservative credentials:

www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/vote-against-the-gop-this-november/2018/06/22/a6378306-7575-11e8-b4b7-308400242c2e_story.html?utm_term=.17f779eee428&wpisrc=nl_headlines&wpmm=1

"Vote against the GOP this November

"Amid the carnage of Republican misrule in Washington, there is this glimmer of good news: The family-shredding policy along the southern border, the most telegenic recent example of misrule, clarified something. Occurring less than 140 days before elections that can reshape Congress, the policy has given independents and temperate Republicans — these are probably expanding and contracting cohorts, respectively — fresh if redundant evidence for the principle by which they should vote.

The principle: The congressional Republican caucuses must be substantially reduced. So substantially that their remnants, reduced to minorities, will be stripped of the Constitution’s Article I powers that they have been too invertebrate to use against the current wielder of Article II powers. They will then have leisure time to wonder why they worked so hard to achieve membership in a legislature whose unexercised muscles have atrophied because of people like them."

Yes, the conservative elites are not in favour of Trumpism. But impeachment talk is probably not a good idea. Elections have consequences. But more importantly this kind of talk will likely increase the turnout of dotard supporters at the polls.

Also, do not forget the poison pill named Pence. Be careful what you wish for.

And again, there were millions of Dems who grew some spine and elected Trump!

Trump's strategy for the fall is beginning to become clear. He is going to double down and appeal to those who approve of his nativism to come out and vote R. This will be a defining moment for America. In many ways more so than the 2016 election which surprised people. This time around there can be no excuses.

I don't think he's talking about impeachment. Article 1 covers all the powers of Congress, including the power to overrule the President and create the laws it wants, rather than the ones he wants.

Trump's appeal is to bigots, racists, and the poorly educated who are unable to perform the simplest fact checking. They are mostly located in "Red States".

You watch too much CNN. CNN and your talking points are sadly disgusting and incorrect. But you don't care I know.

Just what are you going to do when the midterms give him a filibuster proof Senate and he still has the house! And then he gets reelected 2 years after that?

I was just wondering John, when are you and Joe Scarborough going to get together again?

He is after all the Looney Tunes leader of the path you're following right now!

Oh, and John, it seems you need to catch up! CNN is moved past the biggot stuff and it has moved towards Nazis and fascism comparisons. You'll catch up soon though I'm sure!

It took you 4 posts to respond to mine. It indicates your disjointed and fragmented thinking, which no doubt explains your Trumpism.



Yet again, attacks but no content:D

Irony score 100%. How about YOU respond to the CONTENT of George F. Will's article referenced in my post, instead of insulting me.

George Will is no different than any of the elitists politicians from either party! That said...

Millions of Democrats grew a spine and voted for Trump in November a little while back. Thanks to you and yours, and all the crap you're doing, they're going to do it again! Thank you!

I find it interesting that you think somebody telling you what the truth is you find insulting!

Fewer people voted for Trump then for Clinton.

If millions of those who voted for Trump were former Democrats than millions of former republicans either didn't vote, or voted for Clinton. Not sure that is a net positive for Trump going forward.

Millions of Democrats voted for Trump. If that was not true, he would have not won the Electoral College. Nice try though!

In the states that changed hands during the election, if you assume every corresponding voter loss/gain in each state was a change of allegiance (which is an incredibly generous assumption for your argument) it took less than half a million swing voters to give Trump the Electoral College.

If you want to claim that millions of self-identified democrats voted for Trump, the EC victory does not support that argument, just like the popular vote does not support that argument.

There's another election soon. You can't fool all of the people all of the time.

Nice try at what?

I am simply pointing out that if millions went from D to R, then based on vote totals either lots of Rs didn't vote or voted D. That's just the logical outcome of what you are saying.

Millions of democratic voters switched and I helped elect Trump president. That's a fact. Get used to it

So far, it's merely your assertion. You've not provided supporting data or logic, only the assertion.

Sorry you were not smart enough to follow the flow!



So then, is that what you mean by a post that is merely an insult and does nothing else?
