Ann Coulter on Trump: I Bet on a Loser

[roamer_1]

No, it isn't. The whole coordinated frontal assault on Cruz' character, from the first 'Lyin' Ted' tweet to the final insult at the Convention was an unprecedented smear campaign, worthy of the most vile Democrat. Unfortunately, it worked.  ...and America gets the government it deserves.

All of this.

What should be noted is that nearly every talking head and radio star on the right participated. Virtually *no* quarter, no defense of Cruz by the so-called 'conservative' media.

I'll tell you what, that wasn't Tump's doing. and that's a fact. Tump was the hawker, but that was organized.

It was the reason I left FR, really. Where that had been a place where such garbage had been debunked, (Like the National Guard 'memos' Dan Rather waved around) it had gone to a place where the CNN feed screen captures that said Carson was dropping out were ignored and Cruz was claimed to be a liar--even though Cruz did not send the tweet. Not that at that hour Cruz could gain any significant number of votes anyway.  Trump lost Iowa, and that's when the SHTF, from well timed (for the next region holding primaries) and targeted assaults on Cruz' character from Trump's pal's National Enquirer to the blaming Cruz for an independent PAC ad, and then assaulting Cruz' wife, all sense of fairness, honesty and decency had been subsumed in a blood fogged frenzy of hate, and Heaven help those who tried to stand up and say "This is WRONG!".

I refuse to associate, to lend my name, my thoughts, my words, my viewership, my money to a site, media outlet, or other entity which would willingly harbor such egregious falsehoods and do so proudly.

All of this was done to suck the willing along, the angry in, and promised the moon and stars (well, wall, deportation, and prosecutions) to the suckers.

Some of whom even now make excuses for those not being done.

I would chalk it up to something far more nefarious, and well planned. And if I am right, this has all been a big show. That virtually *no* Conservative venue defended the most Conservative man in the field is beyond suspect. That they all fell for a NYC liberal dressed up as a Republican is entirely beyond belief.

[InHeavenThereIsNoBeer]

I thought your prince was the Great Negotiator? The King of DealMakers that will MAGA??

Surely if Trump can sit down to a nice dinner with Pelosi and Schumer which resulted in a nice agreement to hand them our wallets while expanding government spending limits, Trump could have done likewise with Ryan, McConnell and McCain and other Establishment cronies to negotiate and make a deal with them to get what he originally said he wanted?

Trump can make all the deals he wants with the Dems, but they don't pass w/o support from the majority Repubs.

There are enough: McCain, Collins, Graham, Murkowski, and there will be other defectors.

Zeitgeists have a tendency of becoming steering currents if a particular leadership group controls the narrative enough to get everyone to 'look the other way' when overt bullshit is taking place which then quickly results in the mob jumping on a bandwagon and walking in lockstep to bands playing military marches.

Limbaugh half-heartedly defended Cruz on the exit of Ben Carson, and only in response to media clips and what they were saying, not what Trump was accusing Cruz of.

But yes, it was an about-face to show Cruz the back from every so-called "Conservative" talking head out there.  Cruz was left to defend himself, and they wouldn't even bother to air or discuss what he said unless it was something Trump was attacking - and then they went with Trump's narrative, which became the media's narrative.

Precisely. it 'feels' orchestrated. Toward the outcome.

Thankfully, it proved Conservative media to be feckless, and confirmed the stalwarts who saw beyond the facade. I am grateful for you and many others, who easily withstood the bandwagon and parade, Standing fast upon the principles we all hold so dear. I am among the best of companions.

Mark Levin and Glenn Beck spoke out against the anti-Cruz effort throughout the nomination process scam.  I do still have some respect for both of them.

Same here. They have been vilified along with Cruz for their lack of obeisance to the minions of the one. No, not Duh Won, the other one.

Mark Levin and Glenn Beck spoke out against the anti-Cruz effort throughout the nomination process scam.  I do still have some respect for both of them.

Eventually Levin caved (as he always does) and berated his audience to vote for Trump several weeks out from the election - to 'stop Hillary'.  He refused to even mention the Constitution Party when callers expressed their unwillingness to cast a vote for Trump.

So, like Limbaugh - I turned him off for good and never renewed my Levin TV subscription.  I have all his books in hardcover up to Plunder and Deceit, and often saw him as a Scholar of Constitutionalism and Conservatism.  But, if he cannot walk the walk he talks - what good is he?  Do I follow the advice of a marriage counselor who then tells us he has no choice but to cheat on his wife and go to a brothel and pay for a whore?

Contrary to what we are accused of in the charge of demanding perfection, I'm no longer giving my ear or mind to those who preach one thing, while doing another.  It's that simple.

Beck I never watched or listened too because he always came across to me as a someone.... unbalanced?  IIRC upon reading forum commentary about his shows, he had a penchant to string along viewers to his TV and radio shows about exposing something and he would talk it up - and then never get to a punchline that proved his exclamations.

I had read from someone he admitted to being nothing but a rodeo clown.  I think there is honesty in that admission (if he made it), because Beck came across that way to me the very few times I saw clips people posted of his show.

Well Ann, why don't you join the other loser and the two of you can drown your sorrows together.

I think you're dead wrong.  Levin very clearly said that he was supporting Trump because he saw Hillary as the much greater threat.  You can disagree with that without calling his morals into question.

And, since you no longer listen to him, I can inform you that he has steadfastly called Trump on his errors and applauded him on his good moves.

And is doing so especially this week after 'da deal' with the rats.

I just don't understand this blind hatred for talk show hosts that do more good for our side than anyone ELSE in the media.  It boggles the mind.

Ann is starting, more and more...day by day, to look like a tranny.  Must be the rode hard and put up wet effect.  That's right, I said it!

She's not in too bad a shape for a gal who has been a queen of snark for decades, and who has repeatedly sided with people who just don't quite cut the Conservative mustard. There is a lot of disappointment in that. All that, staying relevant, biological clock ticking, etc, well, that's going to wear on anyone. I don't see that image as being particularly flattering, either (lighting, make-up, etc.). If it is (flattering), it has been even harder on her. I hope, for her sake, she is happy with what she has. She's no spring chicken any more.

I will repeat the statement that got me booted from TOS.  Donald Trump was the GOP Establishment candidate. 

From his eagerness to help Mitch McConnell stave off a primary challenge from a TEA Party Conservative in 2014, to his vocal defense of the GOP Establishment against the Colorado Conservative grass roots in March 2016, to his appointment of the GOP Chairman himself as his White House Chief of Staff, Donald Trump has done everything the GOP Establishment has asked.

Yet his sycophants continue to embrace the lie that he will drain the swamp while at the same time vilifying the only Conservative that has called Mitch McConnell a liar to his face.

I accept Trump for who he is.  I don't expect him to understand the nuances of government.  I have no delusions of him towing the Conservative line.  He will receive applause from me when he does something Conservative, and he will receive criticism when he does something anti-Conservative - not because he is violating some false façade that I have put up, but because I value truth.

Contrast that with the Trump kool-aid drinkers who still cannot come to terms with the fact that Ted Cruz did not lie or that Trump has had the backing of the GOP Establishment for quite some time.  I will embrace truth any day of the week.  Yet the Trump sycophants continue to embrace the big lie.

I don't know, Joe.   Look at that adams' apple.  Look at the elongated, masculine looking face and the not-very-female looking arms.  The too much with the eyeliner (a noted drag queen issue..lol).  And I could go on....but....you get the drift.  To me, Ann has become a joke.  I guess I'm exhibiting towards her what some of you guys are towards Rush & Levin.  She just doesn't represent anything conservative or rightie to me any more.
