KRISTOLNACHT

KRISTOLNACHT The "Never Trump" movement died Tuesday night. That's when the loose affiliation of Republican pundits and conservative thinkers, banded together by their shared distaste for Donald Trump as the GOP nominee, leaked the news to Bloomberg Politics that conservative lawyer David French was the secret third-party candidate they have been working to recruit into the 2016 race as an alternative to the real estate mogul. The news of French ended days of frantic speculation set off by a tweet — yes, this is the world we now live in — by Weekly Standard editor and "Never Trump" leader Bill Kristol. And, it confirmed what many — including me — had long suspected: The "Never Trump" movement is totally out of options. When that Bill Kristol Tweet started bouncing off the walls last week, my first thought was "More K-Street hooliganry!"   My second; "Who can he have convinced that has enough flash to trump Trump?  David French? " Who? Don't get me wrong: French, judging from his résumé, is an impressive guy. Decorated military man, conservative thinker and writer for National Review and so on and so forth. And, heck, Mitt Romney likes him! Along with other Tea Party folk, I fired Kristol and his neocon, K-Street buddies when they fought to save Speaker Boner's ass.  This silliness, with luck, will finally  SThemTFU.

RIP Whoever you were

RIP -- Whoever You Were

Human Garbage here boss

Human Garbage Agonistes Human Garbage?  Oh my, things are getting uncivil.  And Red State is not the only "conservative" presence with panties twisted over Trump.  This whole issue can be settled the same way man caused global warmists, Hilary Clinton's political presence— or anything in life, really—can be settled.  By using due diligence and find out who's lying.  It's that simple.  If one side is found with aces up the sleeve, shoot them dead. They cannot be trusted. In the matter of Trump, Ann Coulter ( as she, and people like Rush Limbaugh, are wont to do) documents  crap loads of lies perped by establishmentarians.  If Leon H Wolf wants to win me over, let him rebut these: LIBERAL AND CONSERVATIVE MEDIA UNITE AGAINST TRUMP If that doesn't sound like Trump, it's because Trump never said it. Beck's retweet sure made it look real, but you can check Trump's Twitter archive. I WAS HOPING FOR A TALLER HONEST MAN The more his Republican opponents claimed it couldn't be done, the more details Trump gave about the wall's precise specifications. TRUMP WINS "DISAVOWAL" GAME, THEN SUPER TUESDAY Given that Trump did disavow Duke the day before the Tapper interview, the only explanation for his refusal to do it again is that he was ticked off by the question and decided not to play ball. SPRINGTIME FOR PUNDITS -- Adolf Hitler talked about making his country great again. Donald Trump talks about making his country great again. VOTERS DELIVER SUBTLE MESSAGE: DIE DONOR SCUM Have you ever heard of an autopsy being performed by the murderers? HASHTAG: WE ARE NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN! To prove Trump wrong, reporters called British authorities and asked them: Are you doing your jobs? So, who's lying? Red State also posted this today—GOOD NEWS! Buchanan Says If Ted Cruz Wins An ‘Awful Lot’ of Trump Supporters Will ‘Just Go Home’; arguing, "In the first place, obviously that won’t happen. In the second place, to even try would mean throwing out every single aspect of the Republican party as a unique party. Is that what you would advocate? Just toss everything?" Yes. If Trump is not on my ballot I will not cast a presidential vote this year.  As for "throwing out every single aspect of the Republican party as a unique party;" that's exactly what we want!  Sheesh.

Judge Michelle Malkin

NEVER TRUST ...

Malkin began her speech by saying: “It’s not people outside the party that have thrown the conservative grassroots base under the bus. It’s the people who have paid lip-service to limited government while gorging on it.” She was only getting started. In the course of her seventeen minute speech, she went after Republicans for the Gang of Eight, Common Core, cronyism, immigration and more. She slammed the party elites who smear and sneer at the conservative grassroots as fringe while pretending to support causes they care about at election time. When it came to Common Core she named names, singling out John Kasich for claiming he believed in local control of education. About Bush, she said: “There are three reasons why Jeb Bush failed. His last name, his support for amnesty and his cheer-leading and cashing in on Common Core.” This was the first time Malkin has spoken at CPAC in 13 years and it was well worth the wait. Once you start watching this, you won’t be able to stop.

More GOP Boners

“ TEXT A GOP plan to repair Obamacare, not repeal it Now some Republicans are looking at what might be done to undo as much as possible of the Democrats' national health care scheme without actually repealing it. If Obamacare's problems continue to mount -- and Republicans believe they will -- could the GOP create any political momentum behind proposals to limit the harm? [...] At last Wednesday's Senate Republican retreat at the Library of Congress, Sen. Ron Johnson presented an extensive PowerPoint proposal to "repair the damage" of Obamacare. Johnson had once hoped to repeal the law but conceded that now, after its implementation, "you don't just wave a wand and repeal it and it goes away." So he is collecting ideas for a bill he hopes would instead remove some of the most problematic parts of Obamacare. Johnson stressed that his proposal, in whatever final form it takes, will not be a systematic replacement but rather a set of individual fixes that could offer relief to some of the Americans most burdened by Obamacare. Johnson outlined to his GOP colleagues a set of proposals that included doing away with all of Obamacare's mandates -- employer, individual, plus the requirement that all insurance policies contain specific government-dictated features. He also suggested what he calls "a true grandfather clause" -- a provision that would allow anyone to keep his or her health coverage. Yet another proposal would allow any state to opt out of Obamacare. Still another would end the "bailouts" of insurance companies. [...] Related: Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., told Republicans at an event in Houston that Texas would “be a Democratic state within 10 years if you don't change,” according to reports of the event. ”

Take a pill Bob Dole

Bob Dole Urges Mitt Romney To Confront The Republican Party's Right Wing “ [I'm Bob] Dole, a former Kansas Senator defeated by Bill Clinton 16 years ago, said the party should follow his example of "mainstream" Republicanism and become more appealing to ethnic minorities and young people to secure its future. "We have got to be open," he said in an interview with The Daily Telegraph. "We cannot be a single-issue party or single-philosophy party". He added: "There's a big split in our party. There's this undercurrent of rigid conservatism where you don't dare not toe the line". -[Full Tragedy] I'm actally embarrased for Bob Dole. Not for the first time. Too bad.  Bob Dole served his country well.  Then he ran for congress.  Now, this self-parody.  Sigh. ”

GOP BEDWETTERS

—   you berks.    The Bedwetter Caucus GOP 'pros' trash the Republican ticket. “ That didn't take long. Much as we predicted last week, the Republican Party's Bedwetter Caucus has emerged on schedule to explain why Mitt Romney can't possibly win the election with Paul Ryan on the ticket. "GOP pros fret over Paul Ryan," reported Politico, the website with perfect Beltway pitch, on Tuesday: "In more than three dozen interviews with Republican strategists and campaign operatives—old hands and rising next-generation conservatives alike—the most common reactions to Ryan ranged from gnawing apprehension to hair-on-fire anger that Romney has practically ceded the election." Mr. Romney's catastrophic blunder, it seems, is that he chose a running mate who does more than talk about reforming government. He's really tried to do it, and this is simply not done in Presidential politics. (Full WSJ Opinion) How frustrating for the GOP.  To have pushed and pulled all their levers, and produce the candidate all America have been waiting for, only to see them—first John McCain and now Mitt Romney— bollix up with a conservative running mate.  It's a good thing they'll still have their day job at the DNC to go to. *spit* Aside:  I know. Politico have perfect political pitch only if you're playing the  "K Street Waltz" or the "Obama Cha-Cha."  Don't matter here. ”

Sarah Palin on GOP Silence

Aiding and Abetting

“ Sarah Palin talked about Presiden't Obama's ties to Harvard professor Derrick Bell on Sean Hannity Thursday night. Palin said that the media should have vetted President Obama in the last election and that handlers in the McCain 2008 campaign stifled discussion about Obama's past. Which stupidity by the GOP have landed us in the mess we're in.  It's why President G.H.W. Bush didn't pursue Clinton's anti-war involvement, his draft evasion, and why he put a hold on the DOJ investigation into the Clinton's White Water fraud.  It's why Dubyah Bush didn't follow through on the Clinton's last days in office crime-spree (pardons for cash, stolen furniture,Hillary's Senatorial campaign fund raising crime). Now were about to be saddled with another same-old same-old twat who, even if he wins, will not make a dent in the current culture.   Way to go Sarah! ”

David Brooks "No Brain"

Go spank your monkey Brooks

“ The party is not being asked to raise marginal tax rates in a way that might pervert incentives. On the contrary, Republicans are merely being asked to close loopholes and eliminate tax expenditures that are themselves distortionary. This, as I say, is the mother of all no-brainers. But we can have no confidence that the Republicans will seize this opportunity. That’s because the Republican Party may no longer be a normal party. Over the past few years, it has been infected by a faction that is more of a psychological protest than a practical, governing alternative.  [David Brooks, New York Times token "Uncle Barry"  Republican American] ” Gee, I wonder who he's talking about? “” The members of this movement do not accept the logic of compromise, no matter how sweet the terms. If you ask them to raise taxes by an inch in order to cut government by a foot, they will say no. If you ask them to raise taxes by an inch to cut government by a yard, they will still say no. The members of this movement do not accept the legitimacy of scholars and intellectual authorities. A thousand impartial experts may tell them that a default on the debt would have calamitous effects, far worse than raising tax revenues a bit. But the members of this movement refuse to believe it. The members of this movement have no sense of moral decency. A nation makes a sacred pledge to pay the money back when it borrows money. But the members of this movement talk blandly of default and are willing to stain their nation’s honor.   Pour yourself a cup of tea Brooks, it might cure that incessant diarrhea.

What's worse than Democrat scum?

GOP's Ship of Fools

Who will be the Republicans’ Rahm Emanuel in 2010?

I thought this Daily Caller skit was a parody, a joke ... a put-on. Who will be credited for this election's success...? “ The top names mentioned by the more than two dozen political insiders – most of them Republicans – were Karl Rove, Haley Barbour and Ed Gillespie, overshadowing the heads of the campaign committees, Texas Rep. Pete Sessions and Texas Sen. John Cornyn. Sessions and Cornyn ... . Fortunately, the piece goes on to blow-off all Republican nabobs as having little, if any positive impact - save possibly for Jim DeMint.  In truth, the uprising was/is the result of  a body politic combustion waiting to happen, and ignited by  Rick Santelli's rant on CNBC.  The only two mentioned  with real street cred are (+)Sarah Palin and (-)Barack Obama.  I think that Sarah Palin's treatment by the GOP, and her subsequent iconoclasticism may have influenced Santelli.  So, to the extent that any one person deserves singling out, it is she.  Long live the revolution.

Rand Paul

GOP officials try to help, and tame, Rand Paul

“ WASHINGTON (AP) -- Even as national Republican officials seek ways to limit damage from Rand Paul's unorthodox remarks, the Kentucky Senate nominee raised more eyebrows Friday by defending the oil company blamed for the Gulf oil spill. Those comments, on top of Paul's earlier suggestion that businesses should have the right to turn away racial minorities, sent gleeful Democrats into full attack mode while top Republicans pondered how to calm things down. [and he is exactly right ... ] ” Do I have to say it?  These are the same people who tried to tame Sarah Palin; freaking out when the lib media reported non-existent interview faux pas and manufactured gaffes.  So, how did that work out?  Any candidate who takes direction from  the Republican Party is too stupid to make a difference, even if they do manage to get elected.
