Ann Coulter is Having Buyer's Remorse Over Trump

[william the wie]

At this point a refutable definition of the problem would be a quantum leap in the right direction.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Kasich would have lost.......he'd of done the Hilly light routine just as McCain tried the O light approach

Every poll showed Kasich beating the piss out of her even in blue states

Call me crazy, but I'd sooner have a rationally incontrovertible definition of the problem. I think such a definition isn't all that hard to determine; however, I'm equally certain that whatever it be, it'll piss-off a lot of people.

You were warned, Annie. Too little too late now. I said last year this guy would harm the Republican Party for years to come. Should have nominated Kasich.

Ann Coulter Is Worried The ‘Trump-Haters Were Right’

I don't think he'll damage the party as a whole. Most of the GOP separated themselves from him during the primaries. He is now the president & not a candidate so you have to try to find common ground where you can or everything comes to a full stop. Most rational adults understand this.

This ah has proven himself to be a liar on too many occasions to believe anything he says And he might not damage the party gramps because his followers are all rowing with only one oar in the water

 

[william the wie]

With the crazies running the D insane asylum/party what foreseeable alternatives exist?
the Bern
Pocahontas
Gov Moonbeam

 

[NYcarbineer]

Trump's campaign promises were slick salespitches, right out of the playbook that sold so many people on Trump University.

Yes because nominating neo con's and RINO's has worked well in 2008 and 2012. Better to take risk with Trump than a sure thing I would hate in Kasich or any of the rest.

 

[Zander]

From the article:

I still believe in Trumpism. I have no regrets for ferociously supporting him

I do, of course, blame Congress most of all. They are swine. They only care about their own careers. Who knows how much of it is corruption and how much of it is pure stupidity? People should start sending Paul Ryan bricks to indicate how much we want the wall.

They are the opposition party to Donald Trump. This is really something we’ve never seen before. The president stands alone, it’s his own political party, he’s Gary Cooper. All we have is millions of Americans behind him, but he doesn’t have anybody in Washington behind him.

Ann Coulter has buyers remorse for the skeleton rejuvenation shes tried every year.

Still Skeletor.

We would have had the same shyte with whoever "won", Don is merely a symptom, he ain't the problem.

"Forget the firing of James Comey. Forget the paralysis in Congress. Forget the idiocy of a press that covers our descent into tyranny as if it were a sports contest between corporate Republicans and corporate Democrats or a reality show starring our maniacal president and the idiots that surround him. Forget the noise. The crisis we face is not embodied in the public images of the politicians that run our dysfunctional government. The crisis we face is the result of a four-decade-long, slow-motion corporate coup that has rendered the citizen impotent, left us without any authentic democratic institutions and allowed corporate and military power to become omnipotent. This crisis has spawned a corrupt electoral system of legalized bribery and empowered those public figures that master the arts of entertainment and artifice. And if we do not overthrow the neoliberal, corporate forces that have destroyed our democracy we will continue to vomit up more monstrosities as dangerous as Donald Trump. Trump is the symptom, not the disease."

Trump Is the Symptom, Not the Disease: Chris Hedges

Don is merely a symptom, he ain't the problem.

Well, I agree with this much of what you posted.

Apparently Hedges is okay with corporate Republicans "winning" the coup.

...contest between corporate Republicans and corporate Democrats...The crisis we face is the result of a four-decade-long, slow-motion corporate coup...if we do not overthrow the neoliberal, corporate forces...​

If one sees danger in a corporate coup, does it really matter whether the corporate usurpers are liberal or conservative? No matter their specific-issue politics, corporate interests have one controlling goal: profit maximization. Achieving that goal will always come at the expense of individuals and entities who, for whatever reason, are poor competitors.

Apparently Hedges is okay with corporate Republicans "winning" the coup.

That is not what Hedges is saying. He is not choosing sides. "Neoliberal" does not denote a new type of democrat. It's an economic philosophy that has adherents from both sides of the aisle.

 

[Siete]

at least Mann has the balls (pun) to admit Trump fed the public a line of horseshit.

now if the rest of the drones would admit it .....

Perhaps you're referring to Harvey's definition of the term?

Neoliberalism is in the first instance a theory of political economic practices that proposes that human well-being can best be advanced by liberating individual entrepreneurial freedoms and skills within an institutional framework characterized by strong private property rights, free markets and free trade. The role of the state is to create and preserve an institutional framework appropriate to such practices. The state has to guarantee, for example, the quality and integrity of money. It must also set up those military, defence, police and legal structures and functions required to secure private property rights and to guarantee, by force if need be, the proper functioning of markets. Furthermore, if markets do not exist (in areas such as land, water, education, health care, social security, or environmental pollution) then they must be created, by state action if necessary. But beyond these tasks the state should not venture. State interventions in markets (once created) must be kept to a bare minimum because, according to the theory, the state cannot possibly possess enough information to second-guess market signals (prices) and because powerful interest groups will inevitably distort and bias state interventions (particularly in democracies) for their own benefit.
​

If so, surely you see how the policy advocations of the respective major parties align and don't with that definition? From a policy making perspective, it's quite clear, from the recent AHCA squabbles among House, in which party are found the preponderance of individuals who matter and who also espouse neoliberal economics, which, despite it being a "new" term, at its heart is little other than a name for "as laissez faire as can be made to happen."

All the Reich wing talk show hosts are running from Trump---They can run and hide but everyone is going to remember WHO they were and what they did.

Michael Savage--actually apologized to his audience after Trump bombed Syria--and recently has been BEGGING the Comrade to get off his tweety account--LOL

And it fits

 

[LaDexter]

Coulter was a purist Terror War supporter.

Everyone like that really hates Trump.

Everyone like that says YES MASTER to this man.... Mr. "911 is very good for ISRAEL":

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Once he gets the wall under way she will be fine.

What wall?

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

In spite of this, trump was still the only realistic alternative to a democrat.

David Harvey's definition is fine. Obviously he sees the philosophy as being much more pervasive than your narrow glimpse at a single issue might delineate. And more in line with Hedges' beliefs.

Furthermore, the advocates of the neoliberal way now occupy positions of considerable influence in education (the universities and many ‘think tanks’), in the media, in corporate boardrooms and financial institutions, in key state institutions (treasury departments, the central banks), and also in those international institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization (WTO) that regulate global finance and trade. Neoliberalism has, in short, become hegemonic as a mode of discourse. It has pervasive effects on ways of thought to the point where it has become incorporated into the common-sense way many of us interpret, live in, and understand the world.
