Ann Coulter: God Raised Up Trump To Save Us From 1,000 Years Of Darkness

[Carling]

Thank you. I feel like hitting my head against the wall more and more as pop culture trumps (no pun intended) Conservatism. We've complained so long about compromising this and that because of the GOPe but this election, it seems people are compromising almost all their beliefs because they think they are opposing the GOPe. It has become the game, not the principle.

I know I am facing a tidal wave of disagreement, but I don't change what I believe simply because it isn't popular.

Exactly what is notably conservative about Rubio, Bush, or Kasich in their political careers?

======================================

Have you heard of 'The King of Common Core?'  Well ... that is JEB BUSH.

Have you heard of 'The Gang of Eight?'  Well ... Marco Rubio was the glue that held it together.

Have you ever heard of somebody named Kasich?

Yes and I was surprised to hear yesterday his dad was a mailman.

Well, I don't disagree with you, and the two of us can stand alone in standing for principles while the populist fire rages about us.

I, for one, am not going to discard conservative standards no matter how many people scream at me to do so.

On this forum we may be in the minority, but we're not alone in fighting this madness being done in the name of conservatism.

[musiclady]

Not a thing.

That's not so.  They may not be conservative overall (though Rubio is close), but all three have done conservative things in their careers. (Look at Kasich's congressional record).

On the other hand, Trump is a true "neo-con" who is spouting the line now, but hasn't got a fiber of conservatism in his past.

i used to respect and like Kasich. He, for me has gone to the dark side these last couple of years. He was good at one time.  I mean real good.  Not anymore for me.  You and I will always disagree about Rubio. I see a GOPe in him. Full on GOPe. Don't stop musiclady. I enjoy reading your posts. AbaraXas as well.

The difference that I see is that I am able to separate the parts from the whole and support someone who doesn't mesh with my views 100%.

I don't think that it's accurate to say that someone is not at all conservative when he or she has a record of conservatism in key areas.

I don't know what's happened to Kasich since he started to run for President (it's been weird to watch, and wonder who the heck he is), but I know he does some things right, and that he's been good for Ohio fiscally, jobs wise and many other ways (including ethically).

I wouldn't want him to be President for anything, but I just can't agree that he's on the 'dark side.'

Rubio, as I see it, has made one mega-major mistake, but in listening to him on Hannity today, I thought he dealt with it well.  I'll never agree with him and his involvement in the Gang of Eight, but I can't hate the guy for it.  Obviously, there are those around here who despise him, and if you say anything decent about Rubio at all, start spewing forth venom at you.  (Lots of ad hominems have driven most Rubio supporters out of here).

But if Rubio gets the nomination, I will proudly vote for him in the general election.

I noticed you left out Cruz, using the old debate technique of putting your opponent in a corner with false, incomplete choices. IE, because Bush sucks, you must support Trump, as if Cruz isn't an alternative choice.

Kasich is the one really having me scratch my head. Early in his career, he was a Conservative champion, praised by Limbaugh and the like (even a cover on the Limbaugh letter a long time ago). But he really went downhill quick. It isn't just his support for liberal issues, but he started using their language too like condemning Conservatives as being compassionate for opposing government solutions.

The Kasich of 2007 would have been great. The Kasich of today is turning into one of the worst.

What the establishment GOP still fails to recognize is that Trump isn't the cause of this, he's the result of the failures of the Republican Party.  I find it funny that the side that calls itself "intelligent" still can't figure it out and instead continue to believe that their message isn't being heard.  It's been heard, digested, and what you see now is the result of it.

It's the GOP  voters' break-up version of "it's not me, it's you."

Failure of the GOP?

Record numbers of GOP governors, state house majorities, the US House and US Senate majorities is a failure?

Isn't this the political equivalent of getting a divorce from an unsupportive spouse and jumping right into the arms of a skanky hooker?

The poster I was responding to has said he supports Kasich along with the other DC establishment candidates.  He made the claim that he supports conservatives.  My question was completely valid given the poster I was responding to in my post.

The DC GOP has been an abject failure.  My state is Oregon so my focus is on DC.

Well that's one take.  The other is divorcing the abusive spouse and finding out you were living in that toxic bubble for way too long, and enjoying being free from that abuse.

Either Trump or Cruz would be a welcome change from the feckless GOP status quo.

I hope that after he wins, Trump picks Ann Coulter to serve as his press secretary!  ;)

Using my analogy, my belief (not speaking for any other), jumping to Trump is like jumping to a skanky hooker after a divorce, jumping to Cruz is like jumping to the old reliable girlfriend that you just now reconnected with.

And electing Bush/Rubio/et al is like .... well, I won't say it...

OK.  That there is funny.

Not all mailmen get it right.

One is a shrewd and wealthy real estate developer and one is a shrewd lawyer politician.

The choices are great.

 

[DCPatriot]

I will. Trump ain't Jesus. He ain't "the last best hope of mankind." He ain't even Luke Skywalker.

Thousand years of darkness, my ass. Either she has a horrendously low opinion of people (she does) or her serial Daddy issues are running her mouth again (they are).

Come on, EC.  As a prolific, gifted writer who used to drink, you surely can empathize with Ms. Coulter's faux pas.   

For example, I can see somebody using that analogy to express the importance of this time in our nation's history...a tipping point or sorts.

The Left has reached the point they have successfully banned words, purposely infiltrated Muslim terrorist cells into our country, and one of our two choices is Hillary Clinton?

The Supreme Court is bound to turnover in at least three positions, which can essentially destroy any chance of saving our country as we have known it all our lives.

A Leftist Supreme Court majority is "one hundred years of darkness"....coupled with a Leftist Ruling Class, academia and media.

So yeah....Donald Trump, if not Jesus, surely is Moses leading us out of the desert.   

[DCPatriot]

Must admit that I'm enjoying this.

It's time all of you guys and gals admit you got it wrong on Donald Trump....as to exactly who his voters are.

More and more major celebrities, Hollywood stars and professional athletes or all races have publicly come out for Donald Trump.

What kind of yahoo would get behind such a man?

If you are are young family with kids looking for $200+ to take them to see a baseball, football, hockey or basketball game, that's who.

In fact, I would say the vast majority of fans that attend games are Trump fans.

Nobody has seen crowds like this.  Ever.  E.V.E.R..

Yep...it's time for all of you to look in the mirror and realize what the GOPe has done to you.   

'You're' pissing and moaning about the Trump phenom while naively pushing a "Strong, Principled Conservative", who would be a one-term wonder at best, due to the economic sh*t storm and inflation on the horizon.

The only person alive on the planet that can take us out of this tailspin is the one person who doesn't NEED the job.  He WANTS the job, because he's honestly angry of the direction we've gone.

...thank you for listening.
