Kevin Williamson has doubled down on bitch slapping the base by calling out members he has labeled WHINOs. A WHINO believes that the traitors within the Republican party are a greater threat to the nation than the members of the Democrat party.
Kevin’s focus on the internal grumblers has much to do with Donald Trump’s successful populism in recent days, despite all of his policy shifts and past support for the other side.
Joel Pollak thinks Williamson and Goldberg are both missing what this dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs can mean.
Williamson can really go off the rails at times IMO. Other times, he hits a home run. I’ll side with Pollak on this one.
If he’s suggesting we simply close our eyes and keep reelecting the same lying crapweasels again and again….thanks, but no thanks, Kevin.
National review thugs have a gun to his head. He can suck and type at the same time.
He has a good point with regard to winning, but he doesn’t seem to recognize that at this stage of the race the electorate hasn’t even solidified around a candidate yet; in fact, it hasn’t even been narrowed down to 3 or 4.
The purpose of the campaigning at this stage is to frame the debate, and Trump, for all his many faults, has been a great influence.
Generally I like Williamson’s commentary, but he’s missing the point on this one. He focuses on McConnell and Boehner as examples of electability and adult behavior, and pictures conservatives as crybabies. Trump may not be the answer for 2016, but can’t we at least have somebody with some fire in his belly who will take it to the Dems and the press? Does wanting that make me a loser and a whiner?
RINOS are more dangerous than Democrats. Anyone who believes otherwise, is a fool. If Patton were a Nazi sympathizer, Nimitz a Japanese tool, the world would be a much different place today.
Hey, guys: just, from your “populist” position, encourage Trump to get a little class, to listen to some advisers, to not be such an all-knowing jerk about everything.
*If* you do that — and succeed — we might have a winner.
….Lady in Red
WHINO=Independent;
Unless GOP dumps the RINO’s
Lady in a red bag…go kiss some Hillary butt. As the political class tickles your ears with pleasantly sounding bullcrap, one non-politician is being real. I want that wall and I want Mexico to pay for it. Too bad.
the real WHINO’s are going to be the republican ‘establishment’ come November ’16…..’cause if you twatwaffles think we’re gonna go out & vote for another RINO, like Jeb Bush, Kristy Kreme or Marco Rubio……think again
…NO MORE!
Memo to Lady: When all these president wannabees get their advisers, tone it down and fall in line is when we get another Bush.
About the only thing keeping the Republican brand alive are those willing to say what the voters are thinking. Get a clue, buy a vowel, send a donation to someone that cares .
For me I quit the republican party that I was a member of for over 37 years when they sold us own the river wit the illegal Obama amnesty vote. So there is that.
I will add, if Harry Reid still ran the senate what would have been the difference?
Yeah, at least they would have stopped Obamatrade!
