National Review tries to take down trump, ends up with tail between their legs apologizing

[jem]

you said it well.

We voted out the democrats on the promise they would undue Obamacare.
Obamacare cost billions... got us 8 million new signups for medicare but only 250,000 or so formerly uninsured people. govt very few young people sign up. Cost me 5000 dollars more a year and caused other people the same and they lost their doctors.

We told these sons of bitches who worked for our vote... to get rid of Obamacare... and within days of being elected they said they did not want to be scary.

We told these sons of bitches to seal the borders and they not only keep the borders open they fund it... and they allow obama to bring in 300,000 sryians which will probably include a few hundred or more terrorists.

So, frankly I could not give one shit... what a group of beltway "conservatives" say. some of them are fake establishment guys... and the other guys teammates got Ryan elected to take Boehners place to screw us some more.

We need action not words... I will vote for Cruz but if not him Trump or Paul.
I don't think I will vote for Rubio or Bush or most to the other establishment guys even vs Clinton. I will find somebody else to vote for.

I/We can't stand being lied to by the people I/we voted for any more. Its revolting. Its sickening. You can't promise filet and serve shit sandwiches any more. We know what is going on. I find establishment columnists and talk show guys just as revolting. I used to like to listen to hugh hewitt when I was driving. smart guy... I see him as establishment and now I can't stand him. I hope I get over that... because I want to like his show. But.. hey establishment... Trump on this.

National Review canned Ann Coulter years ago over some typically outrageous comment she made that riled the liberal media. She called the people running NR "girly men" at the time. It still seems apt.

In an odd way, their criticism might help Trump. He is attracting democrats and independents in numbers no republican since Reagan has managed. Having Glenn Beck criticizing you is not going to hurt that process. Frankly, no one has heard of any of these guys outside of the Capital Beltway and inside it, they have no swing at all.

They seem to think the country is yearning to start more pointless wars and bring in more immigrants. Oh I forgot, Trump wasn't on board with this or that issue, eg abortion. WTF have these guys accomplished with all their columns? We have gay marriage, abortion on demand paid for by the government, hundreds of millions going to Planned Parenthood, muslims being the fastest growing religion, kids can't even show a Bible at school, etc etc. Yet Trump is the problem? Sheesh.

There is no "tail between legs" in that letter at all.

 

[Covertibility]

Bill Clinton created Trump to derail any GOP attempt to court minorities. He only exists to make the GOP look like those Tea Party Idiots.

Coulter is not on the level of say a George Will or Pat Buchanan which is why she has found her niche with the Stupids.

Cruz is establishment. A good start point for this is the meeting he had with James Carville's wife and her establishment friends. Then check out the interview he had with FOXNews.

funny that bill clinton created him... being that he just destroyed hillary for bernie by bringing up bill.

I was concerned that cruz' wife is establishment.... but now that convertibility says Cruz is... I can rest... if Covertibility says it, its not true.

I'd say there's an outside chance of 10% that Trump is a stealth hardcore authoritarian.

That said, I can't find anything unconstitutional about any of his policies except "closing up" parts of the internet.

All the Muslim bans and databases apply to non-citizens. The deportations apply to non-citizens. The Mosque surveillance is legal because 1st Amendment protections only shield *peaceful expression*. Not violent plotting.

There's nothing crazy at all about what he's saying. It's radical, but radical relative to the status quo. Which is extremely left-wing and PC. Which is radical in itself. We just got used to hugging jihadis and open borders.
