Trump's First Mistake

NEVER TRUST THE GOPe (and don't be a pussy)

So, it looks like Trump picking retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal for VP is awash.  Too bad.  The official story is that McChrystal was not interested.  I don't believe it.  Last week Ann Coulter nailed it. After his landslide election in 1980, Reagan didn't need help; he was able to steamroll congress for two years. It looks like Indiana Gov. Mike Pence will be it. *spit*  Maybe Newt. *spit*. Either will back-channel Trump with the GOPe.  MY VP PREDICTION: TRUMP'S FIRST MISTAKE My vice presidential prediction is: Trump is about to make his first mistake. I knew this would happen as soon as he hired campaign consultants, rather than relying on his gut. If these campaign consultants were any good, their first piece of advice to Trump would be, "Fire us immediately!" Trump's advisers are undoubtedly telling him he's got the "outsider" image covered. He needs someone with experience in Washington -- as if presidents don't have staffs -- an elected Republican official with solid standing in the GOP, preferably a sitting senator or governor, who will give the ticket gravitas and heft. But, apart from signing off on amnesty, choosing a Bush for his vice president was Reagan's biggest mistake, foisting this pestilence on the country for no reason. Reagan won in a landslide. Did he really need to worry about carrying Greenwich, Connecticut? This is completely wrong. Trump isn't a standard-issue GOP, trying to balance the ticket to get his party into power. He's starting a new party! He's just blown up the old GOP. Instead of a party for, by and of globalist plutocrats, the new Trumpian party is a party of Americans for America. How is Trump going to find a decent running mate from among the Republicans who have gotten ahead under the old model of sucking up to donors and lobbyists? Almost any sitting Republican senator or governor would be total counter-programming to Trump's message. One searches the country in vain to find a half-dozen elected Republicans who have not supported amnesty, job-killing trade deals, Wall Street bailouts -- or all of the above. Trump's message is: I'm leaving the deadwood behind. We always secretly suspected Republicans were selling out the country for their own interests, but now Trump has flushed them all out. At least the GOP isn't being subtle. Their position is: No, we will never allow anyone to be president who wants to do something about the border. The moment Trump chooses his vice presidential candidate, every person in the media will be handed a personalized crowbar to pry daylight between Trump and his nominee.  [FULL]

Kara A Double • a day ago comment Ellmers is a snake, a liar and fraud. Trump knows nothing about her beyond her endorsement of him.

What's all this la razor stuff?

People at the Liquor Store are Always asking .. What's all this razor stuff and suing Trump about? What is La Raza (The Race) in U.S politics?  La Raza = Mexican political activism.  Many La Razaistos subscribe to the notion that California, Texas, and New Mexico are property stolen by the United States, and advocate  repossessing that land by force, if necessary. "Imagine the outcry if white attorneys from Mississippi  started a a legal association 'The Race'  with the stated mission to promote the interest of white, Southern communities. Justice Sotomayor has given several speeches about the importance of diversity. But her 2001 remarks at Berkeley, which were published by the Berkeley La Raza Law Journal, went further, asserting that judges’ identities will affect legal outcomes. A Judge’s View of Judging Is on the Record Judge, law firm bringing Trump U case both tied to La Raza What is the complaint filed against Trump U? Harvard Business School (Read Between the Lines) A handful of students sued Trump U Harvard Business School in 2010, alleging  his Trump  the  school  was a sham full of misleading promises. The students said in a class-action lawsuit that they had paid as much as $35,000 to learn secrets to real estate success getting rich. According to the complaint filed in San Diego federal court, they were encouraged to sign up for more expensive levels of instruction, which were to include personal mentoring by experts “handpicked” by Trump U Harvard. But instead, they say, the seminars were more like infomercials. The lawsuit alleges that the for-profit university’s promises that advanced students could make tens of thousands of dollars each month were bogus, and that the school instead left many in debt.  Harvard disagreed with allegations that the program was worthless. So, basically, Democrats and the Republican elite are sacred to death that Trump will become president and:  enforce legislated  immigration law; deport illegals, stop Muslem immigration, name constitutionalists  to the courts, and wish people a Merry Christmas. Which says it all.

Establishment Panic

Can the World Survive A Perpetually Combative President Trump? This narrative is, apparently, the political establishment's current attempt to forestall Trump's inevitable, if he lives long enough, victory this Fall.   I find this gainsaying rather hilarious, given Team Obama's in-your-face treatment of anyone contradicting, or even questioning them.  The title ought be; "Can the the Establishment Survive A Perpetually Combative President Trump?"  Dear lord, I hope not.

RED STATEe .. blah blah blah

NEVER TRUST ...

RED STATE ANGST   Once a favorite read, I've long since quit caring about Red State's GOPe opinions.  Still, I continue to receive morning capsules, and this morning's ... well—schadenfreudal.
