James Carville: Trump Supporters Do Not Like the Republican Party
by Pam Key10 Aug 2015
Monday on MSNBC, long-time Clinton ally Democratic strategist James Carville said Donald Trump supporters “do not like the Republican party,” pointing to House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other establishment Republicans as evidence in a comparison he drew to the dynamic between Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, both candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Carville said, “The difference is that the people who are voting for Bernie Sanders—actually most of them really like Hillary Clinton, and the people voting for Hillary Clinton—a lot of them like Bernie Sanders. The people voting for Donald Trump—they do not like the Republican party. They do not like Boehner and McConnell and the other establishment Republicans. So that’s what is going on on the Republican side is a little different than what is going this Democratic side.”

I don't agree. Obama won the nomination in the same way Ted Cruz is going to win for the GOP. He stood up for what the base really wanted. He's a super-lefty just like all the hippies who voted for him.

Well Ted needs to quit spamming me with emails and letters asking for money every 2nd day. I donate as I wish and just like the NRA did by the same technique it turns off their supporters.
Oh and Screw Carville.....

There is a degree of truth to what he is saying. Cruz points out often that Voters spoke when they put Republicans in charge of both houses, yet NOTHING has changed from Pelosi and Reed...nothing. That is what Republicans do not like. Boehner and McConnell are both so deeply embedded in the Beltway Good 'ole Boy Network that they are as worthless as their predecessors. That is what Republicans do not like, and its why Trump has the draw that he has, whatever he is, he is clearly not the same 'ole thing.

Exactly why Mr. Trump is going strong. I'm sick of RINO's, hope and change etc.
It's time for "kick ass and take names".
I see a Trump/Cruz ticket........
Never thought I'd be in agreement with James Carville over ANY political issue...
...who'd a' thunk it
Right in line with the oft used Reagan quote from the 1975 CPAC "raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people"
People look at the Republican incumbents in DC and don't see any difference. They're so enmeshed in Washington politics that they just stand there with their mouths hanging open because the President threatens a veto.
Everything we hear from them is just conciliatory pap. There's no leadership.

Cruz paused and then replied, “Donald Trump had a rally in Phoenix, Ariz. [to which] between 10 and 20 thousand people came out. When you attack and vilify the people at that rally as crazies, it does nothing to help Republicans win in 2016.
When ANY politician decides to attack and vilify citizens it only shows that the politician has forgotten who he works for and that he should just stop pretending that he gives a shit about anything but 'fundraising".

I would agree with Mr. Cruz. And this time I do not care if Mr. Trumps run splits the vote, I'm sick of the GOP and what's it's not doing. (And I actually thought the GOP owned the House and Senate.......)
I'd call Zero spineless but I'm being a hypocrite, the entire GOP are spineless.
Mr. Trump has a spine, a voice and a clear message, we're sick of the status quo.
Ted Cruz: Contempt for Donald Trump Supporters Will Guarantee GOP Defeat
by Breitbart News10 Aug 2015
FRANKLIN, Tenn. — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Monday warned that the Republican presidential candidates who are slamming Donald Trump do so at their political peril.
Cruz’s remarks, which came during an interview with POLITICO as he swings through the South on a bus tour, are among the most detailed comments to date regarding his reluctance to criticize the real estate mogul, who is currently leading the polls in the GOP primary.
“I would … note that an awful lot of Republicans, including other Republican candidates, have gone out of their way to smack Donald Trump with a stick. Now I think that’s just foolish,” he said.
Asked why, Cruz paused and then replied, “Donald Trump had a rally in Phoenix, Ariz. [to which] between 10 and 20 thousand people came out. When you attack and vilify the people at that rally as crazies, it does nothing to help Republicans win in 2016. I’d like every single person at that rally to show up and vote in 2016, knock on doors with energy and passion, and turn this country around. If Washington politicians show contempt and condescension to those [voters,] that is a path to losing at the ballot box.”

He's seen as a revolutionary leader seeking to tear down existing power structures.

If you are unhappy with how the 5th Estate works then pick one and wait outside their work one night and explain to them vigorously how fucked up they are. Use hand gestures, vigorous, multiple hand gestures. Bring training aids to help get your point across. They only behave the way that they do because no one calls them on it.

Pay attention GOP establishment and assorted RINOs.
The folks appear sick of typical DC shenanigans by both parties - timing/public sentiment appears to be ripe for a possible significant shake-up in DC. Although, it is early.
The "establishment" of both parties must however be concerned about what the early political environment looks like.
Let's see how they (and a complicit media) attempt to distract the populace...war on women? Guns? George Bush? Trump's merkin...uh, hair...
Trump is not seen as a "governing" leader.
He's seen as a revolutionary leader seeking to tear down existing power structures.
There's a difference.
Given the dissapointment in their leadership that voters in both parties face, tearing down the old, broken structure is an attractive option.

This will be very interesting to watch. Personally, I don't think either Trump or Cruz has a snowball's chance in hell of being able to win the General election, but I would love to be proven wrong. I think if Trump truly cares about the country the way he says he does though, that he won't split the GOP vote as that will likely guarantee a loss to the Democrat. And I'd rather have almost any GOPer opposed to a Hillary Clinton, or an Elisabeth Warren, Joe Biden, Martin O'Malley, or Bernie Sanders.
Don't listen to the media. RINOs have an absolutely awful track record running for POTUS -- look at Romney, Dole, McCain. The only one who managed to get elected was Bush 41, and he did it on Reagan's coat tails.
Republicans will only win Presidential elections if the base turns out. There are 80 million evangelicals in the country, and half of them stayed home last time. THAT is why Romney lost, not because he didn't pander enough to the Left. Ted Cruz is getting the Reagan coalition back together, including the Reagan Democrats who aren't going to vote for a RINO. He's also going to continue to surge as people get to know him and hear him speak.
So sayeth the Shepherd!

Yes there is....
....McCain = "governing"
....Romney = "governing"
....GOP = "governing"
We are being plenty governed. We need a revolution! And we get one every 2 years. We need to actually make it happen this time.
I don't agree on many issues with Mr Trump but he is the only guy at this point that can make the GOP change their Neville Chamberlain route. He's a Churchill. Not perfect but will get the job done!

It is going to be a long time until the election. There will be a lot of time for candidates to weed themselves out with gaffes, as well as investigation into each candidate's past.
Personally, I can handle a candidate that I agree with on 80-90% of issues if he/she has some stones. There are some issues I can bend on, some I can't. Don't screw with my Constitution, quit spending taxpayer money like a drunk sailor, come out and say the words "Islamic terrorist", recognize Israel faces an existential threat every damned day, fix the immigration problem, open the Keystone pipeline.
I can negotiate on stuff like a good fix to healthcare, whether the budget needs to be balanced immediately, etc.
I hope that the GOP winner is a good communicator. Doesn't have to be a Reagan, especially if Hillary gets the democrat nomination, but at least be able to articulate a conservative position and give a decent rationale for holding it. I also hope he/she assembles a good campaign team, especially in the battleground states. I think, just as in the last few elections, the race comes down to Florida, Virginia, Colorado, Arizona, Iowa, Ohio, Florida, New Hampshire, North Carolina. Whoever the nominee is, he/she had better be able to do really, really well in those states.
I don't like Rand Paul, simply because I fear his isolationism is too dangerous and antiquated for today's world. Otherwise, I like the rest of the GOP a helluva lot better than anything the democrats have put forward.
If I had to vote today, post debate, I like Cruz and Fiorina. I think any of the governors could do the job, although I would still like to curbstomp Christie for hugging Obama just prior to the last election, the piece of shit.
I understand everybody's frustration with the GOP---I'm right there too. The problem is, not just the US, but the world can't handle 4 more years of a democratic president. The power vacuum Obama is leaving is being filled by crazy people, crazy people who would love to aggrandize their own power at western civillization's expense.
Here's another bad thought---4 more years to stuff the Supreme Court with Sotomayors and Kagans. The few conservatives on the court won't live forever. There has to be some counterbalance to the liberals who think that the Constitution says whatever the hell they want it to say at that point in time.

Why Obama and Hillary Must Stop Donald Trump at All Costs
Posted by Wayne Root on July 7, 2015
By Wayne Allyn Root
Someone is getting very nervous. Obama. Valerie Jarrett. Eric Holder. Hillary Clinton. Jon Corzine…to name just a few. And I know why.
I wrote a book entitled, “The Murder of the Middle Class”
about the unholy conspiracy between big government, big business and big media. They all benefit by the billions from this partnership and it’s in all of their interests to protect one another. It’s one for all, and all for one.
It’s a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich. Everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. We’re the patsies.
But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared. I’ve never seen them this outraged…this vicious…this motivated…this coordinated. NEVER in all my years in politics, have I seen anything like the way the mad dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.
When white extremist David Dukes ran for Governor of Louisiana even he wasn’t treated with this kind of outrage, vitriol and disrespect. When a known fraud, scam artist and tax cheat like Al Sharpton ran for President, I never saw anything remotely close to this. The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened like never before.
Why? Because David Duke was never going to win. Al Sharpton was never going to win. Ron Paul was never going to win. Ross Perot was never going to win as a third party candidate. None of those candidates had the billion dollars it takes to win the presidency. But Donald Trump can self fund that amount tomorrow…and still have another billion left over to pour into the last two week stretch run before election day.
No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business and political elite understand that Donald Trump is no joke and could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart.
It’s no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy Donald. No this is a coordinated conspiracy led by President Barack Obama himself. Obama himself is making the phone calls and giving the orders- the ultimate intimidator who plays by the rules of Chicago thug politics.
Why is this so important to Obama? Because most of the other politicians are part of the “old boys club.” They talk big, but in the end they won’t change a thing. Why? Because they are all beholden to big money donors. They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations, multi-national corporations like Big Pharma or Big Oil. Or they are owned lock stock and barrel by foreigners- like George Soros owns Obama, or foreign governments own Hillary with their Clinton Foundation donations.
These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money. But one man- and only one man- isn’t beholden to anyone. One man doesn’t need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Autoworkers, or the Teachers Union, or the SEIU, or the Bar Association to fund his campaign.
Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn’t need anyone’s help. That means he doesn’t care what the media says. He doesn’t care what the corporate elites think. That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests. That makes Trump a huge threat. Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slavemasters.
Don’t you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama? Don’t you wonder why Boehner and McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama? Don’t you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet they’ve never tried to defund Obamacare or Obama’s clearly illegal Executive Action on amnesty for illegal aliens? Bizarre, right? It defies logic, right?
Well first, I’d guess many key Republicans are being bribed. Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed. Whether they are having affairs…or secretly gay…or stealing taxpayer money…the NSA knows everything.
Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that. The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money, from his own bank account. Trust me- the NSA, SEC, IRS and all the other 3-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader. They know everything.
Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of being called “racists.” So they are scared to ever criticize Obama, or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment.
Fourth, why rock the boat? After defeat or retirement, if you’re a “good boy” you’ve got a $5 million dollar per year lobbying job waiting.
The big money interests have the system gamed. Win or lose…they win.
But Donald Trump doesn’t play by any of these rules. Trump breaks up this nice cozy relationship between big government, big media and big business. All the rules are out the window if Donald wins the presidency. The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides. But not Donald.
Remember Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama’s birth certificate. He questioned Obama’s college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university.
Now he’s doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do- question our relationship with Mexico …question why the border is wide open…questioning why no wall has been built across the border…questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests…questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes yet are not deported…questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad.
Donald Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick? Good question.
I’m certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michele Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare web sites. By the way that tab is now up to $5 billion.
Trump will ask if Obamacare’s architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying. He will ask if Obama himself committed fraud when he said, “If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it.”
Trump will investigate Obama’s widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama’s college records.
Trump will prosecute Hillary Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover-up Benghazi before the election.
How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election.
Obama, the multi-national corporations and the media need to stop this. They recognize this could get out of control. If left unchecked telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Donald could wake a sleeping giant.
Trump’s election would be a nightmare. Obama has committed many crimes. No one else but Donald would dare to prosecute. Donald Trump will not hesitate. Once Donald gets in and gets a look at “the cooked books” and Obama’s records, the game is over. The gig is up. The goose is cooked.
Eric Holder could wind up in prison. Valerie Jarrett could wind up in prison. Obama bundler Jon Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money.
Hillary Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails …or accepting bribes from foreign governments while Secretary of State …or for “misplacing” $6 billion as head of State Department …or for lying about Benghazi.
The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison. Obamacare will be defunded and dismantled. The Obama Crime Family will be prosecuted for crimes against the American people. And Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters.
Trump will investigate. Trump will prosecute. Trump will go after everyone involved…just for fun. That will all happen on Trump’s first day in the White House.
Who knows what Donald will do on day #2?
That’s why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump. That’s why we must all support Donald. This may be our only shot at saving America, uncovering the crimes committed against our nation and prosecuting all of those involved.

^^^^^To summarize that article:
"Vote for whoever the establishment puts up or you're a fool"
Fuck him.
According to the article, Kurt Schlichter should throw his hat in the ring - he is obviously smarter than most Americans...
edited to add...
Schlichter seems to forget one key factor that serves as common ground throughout the spectrum...
...ALL politics is local
When Schlichter writes, Trump is in this for Trump, and you are in this for you. then I am compelled to agree. He forgets that Hillary is in it for Hillary and Bush is in it for Bush and Obama is still campaigning for the 2008 general election because Obama is in it for Obama.
I, for one, am ABSOLUTELY interested in the 2016 general election for 100% personal reasons.
I don't want career politicians fucking up MY country any longer. At this point, Trump could be in favor of a laundry list of shit that I don't particularly agree with as long as I get the feel that SOMETHING inside the beltway will change.
In for a penny, in for a pound.
Schlicter also declares, "I guess I’m not a true conservative because I refuse to support a guy who voted for Obama"
What about the movie-star-democrat-turned-republican that everyone uses as the high water mark of republican conservatism?
...would Schlicter refuse to support Regan because he started off as a democrat?
In fact, since Schlicter has clearly stated, he refuses to support Trump, what if Trump gets the republican nomination?
...is Schlicter going to show us that he's no fool and vote third party or is he going to silently cast his ballot for Trump because that's who the "party" told him to vote for.
Cruz is a great candidate. I like him. I'd vote for him. Cruz is also a cog in the current wheel of government so right or wrong, he owns part of whats wrong in DC right now.
Right or wrong, Cruz owns part of it.
...so do most of those 16 hucksters trying to convince America that they are a better choice than Hillary, Sanders or Biden.
As far a me being a fool simply because I am open to hearing what Trump has to say?
...well, I would cordially invite Mr Schlicter to go and play with his own genitals while the rest of us wait for him to tell us poor foolish mortals what our next move should be.
The idea that I might be a fool because I haven't written off Trump simply because of his democratic leanings and a career as a wealthy celebrity?
Dear Lord I hope that cowboy actor Regan never runs for the White House - he used to be a democrat...

It's clear from that that Trump didn't even know what the nuclear triad is. And yet he wants to be our President? He also doesn't seem to have a very good understanding of the economy either from what I have heard him speak.
Hmmm...
Wish I had his lack of understanding of the economy...
I wouldn't say he's saying that. He's just being critical of Trump. IMO, he makes some good points. Although I'd say he's wrong about digital versus record albums. Digital is more convenient, but record albums have superior sound. That it's a hundred year-old technology means nothing. The incandescent light bulb is over one-hundred years-old but offers superior light quality to anything else.
I think his point that we don't want another self-absorbed jerk in the White House is very on point. I also agree that Trump didn't have the first clue about the nuclear triad. I looked up the conversation with Hugh Hewitt:
It's clear from that that Trump didn't even know what the nuclear triad is. And yet he wants to be our President? He also doesn't seem to have a very good understanding of the economy either from what I have heard him speak.
I hope Trump is the nominee. If he doesn't get it, I hope he runs third party.

Rand Paul is doing so poorly in the polls he has to revert to old footage of me discussing positions I no longer hold. As a world-class businessman, who built one of the great companies with some of the most iconic real estate assets in the world, it was my obligation to my family, my company, my employees and myself to maintain a strong relationship with all politicians whether Republican or Democrat. I did that and I did that well.
It is so refreshing to see someone in power admit that there is a game, and be proud of playing it well.

I disagree. Ted Cruz was elected Senator of Texas in 2012, his first elected office. He won through support of the Tea Party and those disgusted by politics as usual. He defeated establishment republicans to win the Republican nomination. After three years in the Senate, he is one of the primary constitutional conservatives attacking the establishment and doesn't appear to be wavering.
