This story from
Politico is one of the most dishonest pieces of trash I have seen this week…..and
given that the leftist media is digging in, insisting that the North Korea-US
Summit was an embarrassment for our President and the US, that is saying a
LOT. But it is classic Politico opinion,
and as such it states many things that are indeed “facts”, i.e, they have been
said, or have happened, with zero understanding of what the facts and acts
mean, or signal.
So…..let me help you.
Let’s start with this
gem from the article; “They chalk it
up to party loyalty, or staying unified for the midterms. They say they still
believe in the principles, but they don’t tend to do more than say the words.
Then, when the microphones are off, they confide. They complain. They nurse
fantasies that there’s a reckoning coming, that maybe this will all end with
the Republican Party nominating someone like Eisenhower. Or at least like Paul
Ryan.” If you cannot see that
THAT quote holds and element of the GOP angst, then you are part of the
problem. Paul Ryan? What has Ryan done other than what is in the
best interest of Paul Ryan, that would make us in conservative America think
that he is even REMOTELY a candidate to carry the conservative torch?
Or how about this, from
the recently defeated South Carolina republican and former governor, Mark
Sanford; “People become disenchanted
with the way democracies work. A strongman comes along, says, ‘You’ve got to
give up some freedoms, but if you do, I’ll take care of these problems for
you,’” Sanford said late Tuesday in his concession speech. “We’ve got to stay
true to this notion of the democratic principles that our Founding Fathers laid
out.” I get it, blame your
failures on the people. The truth is
that the people, most people, are quite content with the principles of our
founding fathers……they are exceptionally disappointed in the execution of those
principles by the likes of…..Mark Sanford…..or for that matter, the open
turncoat from Arizona……
……Jeff
Flake. “It’s a
pretty narrow path for somebody who has any disagreements with the president’s
policy or behavior,” said Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), who is retiring rather
than try to win a primary that his own polls showed he couldn’t. He’s a
dependable mournful quote about what’s gone wrong, and reporters eat it up. But
that’s about all there is. Flake, along
with fellow Trump critic Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), is trying to check Trump on
trade, but GOP leaders have rebuffed them. He described the GOP mentality as:
“Don’t show a fissure, pretend we’re all together.” Think about this; “Flake is a dependable, mournful
quote about what has gone wrong, and reporters eat it up, But that is about all there is.” And that IS all there is, that is all Flake
is.
You see, and Politico, the articles writer and all of the voices he
quotes, have this entire idea, that Trump has co-opted the Republican party,
exactly backwards. Elected officials
like Flake, like Corker, like Schwarzennegger, like Sanford, Graham, McConnell,
Ryan have failed the people. They have
been co-opted by the progressives and in return for permanent power as the
underdog, the party of insignificance, they have in turn, betrayed the very
principles they vocally hold to be sacred among the founders.
It is THEY who have not delivered.
It is THEIR masters in the media and the left that seize on every move by
Trump, while endorsing the criminality of the democrats that have made Stormie
Daniels and the Russians the problem. The
crap that the left, and their partners in the GOP ranks, like Flake, are issues
because they INSIST on making them an issue.
I would love to see the Politico, and everyone else who bemoans
the death of the GOP acknowledge that, whether or not you call it a GOP, or
what it frequently acts as, a DNC, it is the elected members OF that party that
are to blame that “their” party is now the party of Trump. Maybe Jeff Flake should take another poll….like
the one that informed him that his own constituency had no intention of
returning him to office. Ask those
people “why?” Maybe one day the Flakes
and the Grahams and the McConnels will learn that the left has used them for
all they could, just like the left does to everything and everyone, and
discarded them. Maybe one day they will
discover that they don’t have Trump to blame for their failures, but rather
they have Trump because their constituents blame them for their failures.
Maybe one day, Politico and the left will finally admit that Trump
has not co-opted the GOP, he has made it irrelevant. Maybe one day the malcontents’ in the GOP
will acknowledge that their failures are not due to bucking Trump….but to ignoring
the people.
