The Real Reason For Nancy's Anger

[roamer_1]

Conservatives.... like who, for instance?   Can you name a half dozen?  Or even a few?

Not without revealing who I am. There aren't that many folks around here with regional reach, and anybody inside regional politics around here could probably already make a pretty educated guess.

So.... let me get this straight.   You can't name even a 'few' conservatives that you have in mind without revealing who you are?   Sorry, but....

that sounds like BS (and an excuse).   Color me skeptical.

Color yourself however you'd like. I value my privacy. You can count on one hand how many Conservative players there are working out of NW MT in a regional capacity.

Perhaps if you knew something about Donald Trump beyond the headlines you are drawn to like a moth to a flame, you'd be able to let go of some of the irrational hatred you feel for him.

@Right_in_Virginia

You don't seriously think that is going to happen,do you?  Trump isn't a RINO,so he HAS to go!

[sneakypete]

Well no, it ain't @sneakypete

The point is increasing Conservatives. But that ain't what y'all do.

@roamer_1

That's laughable coming from a Tea Party supporter.

If you want to have an effect,you have to operate in the real world,not the imaginary world. You might as well be supporting the Bull Moose Party.

Which is another reason why I don't trust Mitch (da Bitch).

I don't trust him either, although I'm pretty happy about the Judges.  He submitted a half dozen or so to the SJC the day the Senate acquitted Trump.

[DCPatriot]

Have wondered where the Tea Party went.   /s

Have dozens of photos I shot at the very first TEA Party gathering in D.C..   And the 2nd.

Also, Sarah Palin with Glenn Beck at the Lincoln Memorial and Reflecting Pool one August 28th.

Taxed Enough Already was the theme, but eventually the 'Principled' Conservatives hijacked the Movement.


....into obscurity.

@sneakypete
That is the entire purpose of the TEA party - Placing Conservatives, from the ground up. That is the focus. There is no point in throwing money and influence away at the national level. National RNC is in moderate hands, who have the game by the throat. That's why the focus is on state houses and county governments - on the up and coming. 

That's why the Tea Party rolled over so many governorships and state houses, and has far less to do with national races.

I was a part of that, and I still am, though not to the measure I was then... and that is real as hell.

Is the reason she hates the message or the messenger (or both)?

[IsailedawayfromFR]

Oh please - have you ever READ any of my posts here??? It should be blindingly obvious that no one wants Trump to continue to succeed more than I do. With what he's accomplished he should have Reagan-like approval numbers and the party should be riding high. Why isn't that what's happening?

I happen to have read what you wrote.

And you said he always knee-jerks.

Why write drivel if you don't believe it then?

Both.... I would bet that pelosi regrets tearing up that speech...

[musiclady]

Canadian David Frum (Bush 43) is also a whackadoo. 

You're right.......... and with delusions of grandeur.

Strange fellow!

[Snarknado]

I will say it this way - his tweetstorms generally come across to me as knee-jerk reactions that do more harm than good, both to him and the party. Feel free to disagree, it's just my opinion.

Ok, I now understand.

I happen to think some tweets go to the degree you say; however, overall I support him tweeting primarily as it is the mechanism to bypass the media.

Bush allowed the MSM to brand him as they filtered everything he said rather than directly addressing the people like Trump does with his tweets and very effectively of course during SOTU.

The only thing I'm buying into is the survival of America as a communist-free, sovereign nation that is NOT under NWO globalist control.   And the only way that happens is via the defeat of the DemocRats. 

It ain't rocket science.

  You go, girl!

[Jazzhead]

I'd hazard a guess that it's the 90% negative press he receives.

Reagan's negative press wasn't much different.  But his poll numbers reflected the public's respect for his policies.  But with Trump there's a disconnect.   Trump needs to grow up.  His SOTU was an excellent start,  and echoed the classic Reagan themes.   But Musiclady's right -  Reagan's voice was authentic.

Yea, well Reagan had 50 years of practice before he was elected also...

[musiclady]

And he actually believed what he said, had a great sense of humor, was a mature human being, understood the English language, could and did read, could write.......

IOW, there wasn’t a single similarity between them except that the media excoriated them both and blamed them for everything that was wrong in the world.

Oh yeah........ and Reagan didn’t have a Fox News that worshipped the ground he walked on.

He stood alone and still managed to behave with honor.

There ain’t no comparison.

Reagan did not have Fox but he did not have to deal with the bulk of the media in the lefts pocket either so his only real competitor was Tip and that was a tame battle compared to the 24 hours a day onslaught that Trump is having to deal with.

Exactly. Not sure why republican critics of Trump here at TBR fail to see that the toxic media environment today is orders of magnitude higher than that which Reagan faced and has had a markedly negative impact on Trump’s approval. And what’s puzzling is that they see no cause and effect relationship with this. They instead conclude Trump is to blame!

No, he’s not. Trump didn’t ask for this. It was thrust upon him in a coordinated, democrat operatives/media-wide conspiracy to oust the newly elected president. Trump’s fault? I think not.

Come on, @Jazzhead ...that's just crazy talk.

There were no cell phones, let alone 'smart' phones....the Commodore 64 was cutting edge.

Ronald Reagan got a tongue-bath compared to Donald Trump.

Agree... but ya gotta admit, Trump eggs it on.... 

[musiclady]

And the 24 hour onslaught that he and his fans are giving back.

No matter how you cut it, there’s no comparison between the behavior of the two.

If Reagan had had to deal with the 24 hour onslaught, he would have dealt with it the same way he dealt with the 100% hostile press in the 80’s (with no conservative media to back him up)....

As an intelligent, articulate, educated, conservative adult.
