25 Comments on Trump: Republicans, Conservatives Have Betrayed “Their Base”

  1. AND IT’S TRUE!

    WE gave the GOP the House and then the Senate…INCLUDING a number of “conservatives”…and they helped Obama more than the Dems ever did!!!

    OR: Aurelius, are you making the same idiotic accusation as Ben Shapiro, that he is accusing US of betrayal?!?

  2. Forget Boehner, McConnell…

    “TRUE PRINCIPLED CONSERVATIVES ”
    like
    Paul Ryan
    Trey Gowdy
    and so on and so forth

    The few I can think of who have NOT betrayed us
    (setting aside “failed” to follow through)
    I can count on one hand
    and still have enough to pick up Doritos.

  3. You DO realize you’re promoting DIVIDE AND CONQUER yellow journalism here, Aurelius, don’t you?

    This sort of junk says nothing more than:
    ”either you’re a Conservative, or you’re for Trump. You can’t be both!”

    It does NOT endear me to voting for Cruz, should he win the nomination. It’s more mindless “let me twist the most negative interpretation out of something Trump said or did to make him look bad and, if I have to invent it, so what.”

    I thought there were enough OTHER sites going that path, and that iOTWr wanted to steer clear of that, so we can keep the fundamental focus on gaining the White House this year.

  4. Let me throw a name out there – Richard Hanna. He was soooo conservative. He was true Tea Party. He would NEVER vote for obamacare.

    He got elected, yes I, and many I know voted for him. He instantly became a hard core rino/cino. Then the bastard SCOLDS us back at home for wanting him to do what we elected him to do. Thank goodness he isn’t running again. Bastard.

  5. Czar —

    Choice A: Honest to goodness Trump Trashing, or
    Choice B: Trump Trashing disguised as “interesting” humor and graphics, trial balloons (let’s see what sticks), and an endless march of logical fallacies.

    Get with the program or move along.org. 😉

  6. Well, you really can’t argue with a ‘REPUBLICRAT’ who has the facts on his side can you?

    Still, I would prefer to take my chances on someone who has proven he will stand up against both sides rather than spend hundreds of thousands of his $$$,$$$.$$ buying favor with both party’s.

  7. OK, Czar and all you Trump-splainers — what did he mean by that tweet? I read it as Republicans and Conservatives. Since I consider myself a Conservative, it looks like he is including me. If this is not the case, please explain. Really curious.

  8. IF Geo. Will is conservative, then I’m NOT.
    IF P. Ryan is conservative, then I’m NOT.
    IF M. McConnell is conservative, then I’m NOT.

    “Conservative” has become as amorphous as “Leftist.”

    Every fuckin politician was “for it” before he was “against it” … or vice versa.

  9. Establishment Trump pleading for Broken Conservatives beaten down by Establishment GOP.. how poetic

    Huckster?
    Trojan Horse?
    Psychotic Break Jan 2011?
    any other motive for Trump??

  10. Anybody who doesn’t understand the tweet obviously hasn’t read it. He was talking about the self-professed conservatives that we’ve busted our asses to elect and then broke every promise and gave Obama everything he wanted.

    Look at Ryan’s voting record, before he was anointed speaker. It was “conservative.” Then look what he, and McConnell, and the rest we gave the reins to the Senate to have done.

    That’s why Trump is so popular with so many conservatives. We are tired of electing Reps. and Senators who say one thing and do another. I’m not insulted by the tweet, because I know EXACTLY WHO TRUMP IS TALKING ABOUT, and it’s not me.

  11. TO DanK
    Sorry the (/s) wasn’t obvious to you.

    TO AA
    Yeah, Aurelius is being quite the coward, just laying this out there without comment. At least Ben Shapiro had the openness to claim he was outraged at Trump’s words.

    TO Riverlife Callie
    Simply said: SEE JannyMae’s post…BETRAYAL BY THOSE WHOM WE ELECTED TO “do the job” AS A CONSERVATIVE BUT WHO, UPON ELECTION; SOLD US DOWN THE RIVER.
