The GOP is picking an incompetent candidate

The GOP is picking an incompetent candidate
By Jennifer Rubin
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2016/07/18/the-gop-is-picking-an-incompetent-candidate/?tid=hybrid_collaborative_1_na

As we head to Cleveland today, we certainly have been reminded that the GOP electorate picked someone as its nominee who is not only unfit to govern but entirely incapable of running a national campaign.
.......

The past four days, however, were more about Trump’s utter incompetence as a candidate.

His VP rollout was marred by reports that he really wanted someone else. He’s been slammed for his flustered decision to postpone the Pence announcement and by embarrassing details of Trump’s indecision and agonizing up through Thursday night. According to news reports, the family had to prevail upon Trump to understand he was picking the next in line to the president, not a new best friend. Oy.

........

The Trump team was then unprepared Friday to present Indiana Gov. Mike Pence’s record, provide basic biographical info, deflect Clinton attacks or even update its website. Student body election campaigns have been better organized than this.
........

The race, which could have been a referendum on the Obama presidency and on Clinton’s record and ethics, is now about Trump — his ignorance, his extreme views, his narcissism, his dishonesty and his political incompetence. That is precisely the election Clinton wanted and probably the only one she could win. If the RNC delegates finally came to their senses and stopped listening to the Trump-RNC bullies, they’d discover that once they get rid of Trump virtually any other Republican (Coburn, Pence, et al.) would become the front-runner.

More WaPo anti-Trump spam. They'd be trashing Ted Cruz right now if he were the nominee too.

Just a smattering of her recent editorial titles:

"The GOP's intellectual disintegration"
"The convention's no shows... the smart Republicans aren't here"
"Trump: Starting off on the wrong foot'
"Six Pence problems... Pence is about to become Trump's manservant"
"The GOP is picking an incompetent candidate"
"How to give a convention speech:ignore the nominee"

Six editorials by one person since two days ago with a strong bias against Trump. Given the volume, it definitely counts as spam. I'll pass on the click bait.

Winning the presidency isn't the goal for some trumpettes... destroying the GOP is... and they're succeeding spectacularly.

Rubin wrote some no-so-flattering articles about Cruz earlier on.

Well they can't really say the GOP picked Trump......seems to me the public went for him...and THEN the Gop had to figure out how to stay in the game without cutting their own noses off to spite their face.....

You say Trumps "entirely incapable of running a national campaign"....?????

Well since he is the nominee after just running a national campaign..and that winning over 17 others, not just one. ...So that argument holds no water.

Then you state..."His VP rollout was marred by reports that he really wanted someone else."  ??????

Well it's pretty standard there's a lot of turmoil regarding picks for VP's in all elections....so that's no argument either.....


Adding yet further..."  about Trump.... That is precisely the election Clinton wanted and probably the only one she could win."

Well on that note this could get very interesting because Hillary cannot accuse Trump of anything she herself is or hasn't done ....


Ol' Hillary and Billy Boy are going to be looking over their shoulder for sure!

Jennifer Rubin writes on conservatives from an establishment republican point of view. Meaning she hates them.

But she's right here.

What I do see clearly...is Imagine Hillary this time around, who lost a "sure" thing to A black man last time around and believed then it was "My turn".....and Now here she is running against someone she believes will be a piece of cake to win over.....I hope she keeps on believing it.....Just because this time she said "I deserve it"...does not in fact say that she does.....

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
