A call for resistance to our "Child King" by an honest republican...

[nat4900]

Peter Wehner, is a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, who has served in the previous three Republican administrations......

This article by him summarizes rather well the need for republicans (NOT democrats) to rid us of this child-like demagogue that does not belong in such an important position.

If you have the time, please read the entire article; well worth the few minutes.
Here are a couple of key points that Wehner makes that both reflect the frustration felt by most of us, and the call to resist this cult-like devotion of Trump acolytes.....

• The more offensive Mr. Trump is to the rest of America, the more popular he becomes with his core supporters.

• Much of this mess is of the Republican Party’s own making. Let’s not forget that Mr. Trump’s political rise began with his promulgation of the racist conspiracy theory that President Obama was not a natural-born American citizen..................[Republicans] need to accept, finally, the reality — evident from the moment he declared his candidacy — that Mr. Trump is unfit to govern. He will prove unable to salvage his presidency. As the failures pile up, he’ll act in an even more erratic fashion.

Day after day the agony Trump inflicts on libtardos warms my heart. God bless Trump.

That's what the article was saying.

“What’s required now is a comprehensive, consistent case by Republican leaders at the state and national levels that signals their opposition to the moral ugliness and intellectual incoherence of Mr. Trump. Rather than standing by the president, they should consider themselves liberated and offer a constructive, humane and appealing alternative to him. They need to think in terms of a shadow government during the Trump era, with the elevation of alternative leaders on a range of matters.” ibid

Wehner is correct, of course.

But there are two problems with what he proposes:

Far too many Republicans are blind partisans, adherents to the 11th Commandment, and loath to be critical of a Republican president – any Republican president – to be seen as undermining a Republican administration, where Republicans perceive the WH as their ‘birthright.’

And there are far too few Republicans in office capable of proposing constructive, humane policies for the GOP to advocate, the consequence of rightwing extremism, wrongheaded conservative dogma, and Republican politicians of good faith primaried out of office by those rightwing extremists.

Some take his wildest claims over the DOJ and FBI, why? There is nothing in his life that indicates "trustworthy" as a trait. He files for bankruptcy at the flip of the hat, cheats on wives, and lies.

you start too many threads.

 

[PredFan]

Meh, that guy is lying his ass off. Typical.

Another nat fail thread.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

In some ways libtardo hysteria can be understood. It has been a long time since we had a president that actually put the country and its citizens first.

Lets see......I AM trying to teach you something.....and YOU, being the ignorant idiot that refuses to learn anything actually finds solace in your stupidity........

Stay dumb and live up to the suffix of your screen name,"tardo"........LOL

Trump's comments yesterday at NRG center--that the victims at the shelter were very happy and that this was a great thing for our country--were so childlike. He forgot the reason for all this back slapping and God Bless us talk. He was too wrapped up in thinking of his awesome response to the disaster.

I watched the coverage of his interactions with folks there and the kids, and he was very friendly, yes. But his comments were so off base. Watching it was like watching an 8 year old. Take him to a shelter where everyone has lost their home and their possessions and probably their jobs, and watch him say Cool beans, how friendly everyone is. It's fun!

Child, child, child.

Child, child, child.

And yet vastly superior to the incompetent asshole we had before him.

The day you can actually make an argument that doesn't include Obama or Clinton, I'll probably need oxygen.

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like what we're learning about you from your posts.

Wow, the left really loves their GOP NeverTrumpers.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The left would have said the same thing no matter what Trump actually did or said. If Trump walked on water, the left would say Trump disrespected the men with boats.

It's actually gotten amusing. Aren't we on day 3 of Melania's shoes?

Hate Trump is the demofart sole issue going into 2018. They think it will be enough.

The political establishment is pissed that American citizens voted for an outsider over their hand picked rigged hacks.

 

[whitehall]

Maybe Mr. Wehner needs to run for office instead of sitting on the sidelines and sniping at the President with childish comments.

Probably. The rest of us are just pissed that you voted for an idiot douchebag.

It's easy to burn down the outhouse ... much harder to install plumbing.
