Trump's Mission Is to Make America Great Again : Panicky Character Assassination Won't Stop Him
Saturday politics is sometimes about the future of America. There are times in every presidential campaign that are watershed moments. Today was such a 2016 moment. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie endorsed Donald Trump for President. He told voters no one is better prepared to lead the country. This is stunning news. It is the biggest endorsement so far for Trump, giving the GOP front-runner a toehold in the party establishment that has tried everything but Paintball to dislodge Trump, all to no avail. Christie, standing with Trump at a Texas news conference, said : “I’ve been on that stage, I’ve gotten to know all the people on that stage. And there is no one better prepared to provide America with the strong leadership that it needs both at home and around the world than Donald Trump." The crowd exploded in cheers when Christie called Trump "the clear standout" on stage at Thursday night's debate and said Trump is "the person who will do exactly what needs to be done to make America a leader around the world....I can guarantee you that the one person that Hillary and Bill Clinton don’t want to see on that stage come September is Donald Trump." As we have come to expect from Chris Christie, his endorsement was full of memorable phrases, like this one describing Bill and Hillary : "They know how to run the standard political playbook against junior senators and run them around the block. They do not know the playbook with Donald Trump because he is rewriting the playbook.” ~~~~~ Friday started on a high for Marco Rubio, as he joked and ridiculed Trump the day after the mainstream media applauded Rubio's debate performance, but Christie's endorsement stole the day. Trump was once again able to blunt rivals' momentum with his own major announcement. ~~~~~ Senators Rubio and Cruz let the Trump train leave the station without them months ago. A Rasmussen Reports survey released Friday shows that 81% of likely Republican voters predict Donald Trump will win the party's presidential nomination. Only 15% believe Trump is “unlikely” to win the nomination. Friday’s results show that major momentum is on Trump’s side heading toward the 12-state Super Tuesday primaries next week. Trump holds a 13-point edge over the other Republican contenders nationwide, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls. And, in the seven southern Super Tuesday states, Trump has a commanding 17-point lead, according to a Bloomberg poll released Thursday -- Trump has 37% support in the seven states, with Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz tied with 20% each. ~~~~~ Dear readers, Americans are angry and disgusted with a tryannical federal government, a renegade socialist Democrat Party and President, and a paralysed and impotent GOP Congress. After Christie's announcement, Trump launched into a campaign speech that hit every button driving his anti-Washington anti-PC march toward the presidency : "I supported McCain and he lost. I supported Romney and he lost. So I said, this time I'm going to do it myself....We're going to protect the Second Amendment 100%....The borders will be protected....Common Core is out....We're going to get rid of Obamacare....We're going to protect Christianity....We're going to say 'Merry Christmas' and 'Happy Holiday' on Christmas." And, everyone knows Donald Trump will use every fiber in his body to achieve those goals. That's why Washington insiders, leftist mainstream media, the Clintons, and the Republican Party apparatus fear him. Their super-Pacs are hitting TV in Super Tuesday states to smear Trump with lies and innuendo intended to defeat him. The super-Pac funding is reported to come from Romney and Rubio insiders, as well as groups angry that Trump is walloping Rubio and Cruz. The ads are not meant to inform. They are meant to destroy Donald Trump through sustained character assassination. But, "Make America Great Again" is not just a catchy campaign slogan. It is Donald Trump's mission -- the culmination and combination of everything he has believed and experienced in his extraordinary life. Trust him.

“… the most improper job of any man, even (Popes &) saints (who at any rate were at least unwilling to take it on), is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit to it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity.” –The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump will be our next president of the United States! Mexico knows it, China knows it, Russia knows it, Etc... Etc...Etc... And hey RNC you now it. The desperate attempt to stop one of your own party is disgusting, this man has stood alone on the debate stage self funding to make America Great Again only to be sabotaged by a Cartel of Washington politicians that think they get to hand pick who gets the nomination. Thank god, somebody has finally stood up to the Republican National committee bullies. Bad sportsmanship guys, the country has spoken, look at the polls.
DeleteThe betting inside the beltway in Washington DC today is that we are staring right down the throat of a Donald trump v. Hillary Clinton general presidential election battle.
ReplyDeleteThe odds of a Republican control of the White House, Congress (both Houses), and the Supreme Court is not bad if the republicans can unite. Uniting is one thing – overcoming 3 basic facts is another?
1. Overcoming the “Blue Wall” of 18 states and Washington DC which represents 242 electoral votes. Just 28 shy of winning the election.
2. 90% of the Black, Hispanic, & Asian vote was won twice by Obama
3. Americans self-interest – 50% of Americans receive U.S. government benefits in the form of SS, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, welfare payments for being continuously poor and unproductive, student loans, rent subsidies, school lunches, and earned Income tax Credits. Why would they vote for a candidate that promises to cut government spending on such freebies?
Friends the democratic establishment will not go quietly into the night.
According to a Quinnipiac University poll Donald Trump leads Marco Rubio by 16 points in Rubio's home state of Florida.
ReplyDeleteSort of says it all about Rubio's name calling and attempts to belittle Trump
Marco Rubio in his uphill Republican primary campaign for the Senate against the unprincipled Florida Governor Charlie Crist ran as an unabashed Tea Party conservative – and won. But soon after arriving in Washington, Rubio decided to throw in with these politicians – including John McCain and Lindsey Graham and take an active leadership role in the Gang of Eight fiasco.
ReplyDeleteAs he runs for the Republican presidential nomination, Rubio has attempted to redefine his position on immigration yet again, resulting in his utter incoherence on the subject. Moreover, Rubio’s views on foreign policy are also more in line with McCain-Graham pseudo-conservativism. It is a kind of naïve and radical interventionism, involving endless demands for American ground forces, that President Ronald Reagan would never have supported – and did not.
Most recently he went on a tirade against Donald Trump both at the debate and the following day at rallies. Marco Rubio and his campaign donors, advisers, and consultants cannot wash away some of Rubio’s less than stellar legislative actions and related positions and pronouncements by embracing and unleashing of Saul Alinsky-type tactics against Ted Cruz, Donald Trump, or other conservatives. Such unprincipled ambition has not and will not go unnoticed by conservatives.
Rubio’s major legislative achievement in the Senate was the Gang of Eight travesty - to this day, Rubio defends his Gang of Eight role, while simultaneously trying to distance himself from aspects of the bill. In this Republican primary contest he is showing no maturity, no real respect for his adversaries, he has acted as a spoiled brat, he has embarrassed himself & the GOP with his rants and name calling, he has demonstrated that he is unfit, unprepared, un qualified to be the GOP nominee let alone an opportunity to be President of the United States.
There are honest disagreements between Trump, Cruz, and Rubio that should be debated – but not debated at Rubio’s own rallies or out of ear shot of Trump or Cruz.
Senator Marco Rubio’s display of temper and lying about his position on numerous issues is contemptible.
