The Donald Trump Bashers Don't Believe He Is Conservative Enough...



Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “The Kelly File,” National Review editor Rich Lowry rolled out his magazine’s effort to challenge Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s bid to be the eventual Republican nominee.

Lowry told host Megyn Kelly, who has had her own dust-ups with Trump, that their intent was to rally conservatives against Trump because they saw him as susceptible to special interests.

Blog Author's Comments -- Megyn Kelly does not like Donald Trump so she will do all she can to undermine him. This won't work, it will only show how foolish and full of herself she is. The National Review magazine is dying, certainly not what it was when founded some sixty years ago by William F. Buckley.

What has the conservatives done during the last 15 or more years to help those who considered themselves conservative? Nothing! They would sooner vote for Hillary Clinton than Donald .J Trump who is the only GOP candidate saying what so many of the American people want to hear and want to have done by our government.

It is time for Donald Trump to stop his input with everyone who may voice an opinion about and against him. He has made some comments during the past few days which were not necessary and may come back to bite him. He is in a good position, if one can believe the polls, so he needs to continue to campaign and tell the people what he will do for them and answer their questions. Chastising everyone who makes a snarky remark about him will not help his quest for the nomination.

The Republican Party Should Want To Win With Donald Trump


Trump Acknowledges His Support Has Surprised Him
But None Of It Matters Unless He Wins The Presidency


"The Real Donald Trump Story"


Blog Author's Comments -- What we are witnessing is the moment when what the opposition wants, runs into the reality of what is going to happen. Candidate Donald Trump is going to win the GOP nomination, and with it – The White House.

All of Trump’s political opponents, ideological opponents, and transparently visible media opponents are, at various points in the next several weeks, going to have to admit the obvious – He has beaten them.

I believe that the RNC and Republican Establishment would rather lose the 2016 presidential election than win it with Donald Trump. As for the Republican Party this was supposed to be the nomination of Jeb Bush or perhaps Marco Rubio. I do not care for either of these candidates because the GOP has to win the presidency and it won't happen with either of these two.

Allen West To Liberals - Leave The U.S.


Allen West To Liberals: Get the Hell Out Of The U.S.

Huffington Post -- Speaking to a Lincoln Day Dinner in West Palm Beach for the Palm Beach County GOP, Rep. Allen West (R-Fla) fired off a humdinger of a line that within minutes drew recriminations from Democrats on Twitter.

"We need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, (audience boos) and my dear friend the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, we need to let them know that Florida ain't on the table," West said.

"Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America."




Blog author's comments - Compared to what the liberals say about the GOP, this is pretty tame stuff. And the thanks he gets from the Republican elitists is to have his district redrawn to make it harder to win reelection.

A Republican Florida Representative confirmed that redistricting will leave Allen West's Congressional seat vulnerable. I must assume he is too conservative for many members of the GOP both in Florida and in Washington.

Republican Establishment Fears Gingrich


Why the establishment fears Newt Gingrich

Washington Post (By Robert S. Walker) - After Newt Gingrich rose in the polls, criticism of the former House speaker began grabbing headlines. But Republican establishment attacks on Newt are not new. Newt’s political career has been devoted to mounting a conservative challenge to the establishment’s desire to play the Washington power game of go along to get along.

As a junior congressman, Newt founded the Conservative Opportunity Society (COS), a group of activist members of Congress whose goal was to challenge the liberal welfare state but whose first target was the Republican establishment in the House of Representatives. The “old bulls” who dominated the party in the House had become quite comfortable in their minority status and saw little chance they would ever become a majority.

Newt and the COS knew that, to create a true conservative agenda, the party needed to focus on becoming a majority. They used the House floor and C-SPAN to promote their ideas. They attacked spending bills and efforts to expand government, some of which the establishment had endorsed.

When Newt became speaker, he was focused, disciplined and tough. He insisted on moving the Contract With America intact. He abolished committees and denied “old bulls” chairmanships. He insisted on using the majority to win conservative victories such as balancing budgets, achieving welfare reform and producing 11 million new jobs with tax cuts that spurred economic growth. He made some people unhappy when he pursued legislation that could win instead of pet bills that would have divided Republicans.

It boils down to this: Newt Gingrich is a conservative; the establishment prefers moderates. Newt prefers to stand up and debate conservative ideas and ideals; the establishment prefers to keep people guessing. Newt is a proven leader, someone with the background, understanding, vision and discipline to be our president; the establishment fears that he just might win. - Entire column...


Blog author's comments - I believe Mitt Romney is the choice of the Republican establishment. Should Romney win the nomination I don't have confidence that he can oust Obama from the White House. I hope that I am wrong.

Romney, Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann have been in attack mode against Gingrich and it appears to be working - if we can believe the polls. But, there have not been any votes cast yet.

Gov. Chris Christie said he would not run for the GOP nomination but, has endorsed Mitt Romney. Christie now says he would think about a possible VP spot.

This may draw those who like Christie to back Romney as the GOP candidate, with hope that if Romney should win the nomination he would chose Christie as his running mate.

Whoever wins the nomination has to take down Obama. America cannot withstand Obama as a two term President. He will have nothing to lose and will continue to destroy our country.
