Democrats: F*ck You, War! 👩🏻‍⚖️

 

By fighting for a replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsburg, my prediction is Republicans will gain ground in current races in the House, Senate, and White House. Regardless of how this impacts the election, picking a SCOTUS replacement is too important to wait. Hypocrisy over not voting in Merick Garland in 2016? Bullshit. If the Democrats controlled both the Senate and Presidency in 2016, they would have pushed through the most far left justice they could have gotten away with. That is how things are.  

Ruth Bader Ginsburg could have retired and let Barack Obama pick her successor. She chose to take a chance and let Hillary do it. It has not turned out as she planned.  

Will the world end if Donald Trump picks Amy Coney Barrett, Barbara Lagoa, or Stepanie Dawkins Davis, no, but it is still critically important to conservatives. They are voting in November and backing down to Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi will not appease them. I am glad Senate Republicans are mostly backing the President on this (even Mitt).

That debacle that Democrats put Brett Kavanuagh and his family through is still raw. It was lies. They will do it again in the next few weeks to who ever President Trump picks. Bring it on. Let the voters decide.

Hating Breitbart

Donald Trump, Jr. on 'The View'

I give Don Trump, Jr. credit to go into this hostile venue and get his story out!  

Right off the bat, they go after Don Trump, Jr. for "leaking" the whistleblower's name. Trump points out that his name was fully reported days ago (so it is no secret). 

It is also completely hypocritical for ABC to feign outrage over this, given ABC just got a former employee of theirs fired from CBS for leaking how ABC covered up the Epstein story three years ago. So apparently, whistleblowers deserve protection, unless they whistleblow against the media (then hunt them down and drive them out of the business).  

This is actually a great strategy: resist and fight back. I only wish Andrew Breitbart was here to see this.

Rule 5 and FMJRA

Breitbart's Steve Bannon brought in to save Trump Campaign (with possible bonus Roger Ailes for debate prep)

Steve Bannon: The Most Dangerous Political Operative In America?

Can Bannon Save Trump's Campaign?

It was obvious Team Trump had a problem immediately following the conventions. The Kahn exchange hurt Trump (and the media ignored Clinton's poor treatment of the Benghazi families). Still, there were a series of media blunders/hit jobs (actually a combination of both), one after another, that did not help Trump. 

All Hillary Clinton does is run ads suggesting Trump lacks the temperament to be President of the United States. Of course, the same could be said about Hillary Clinton, but Trump was busy responding to brush fires set by his own rhetoric (and a dishonest biased media).

Some suggest that nothing matters till Labor Day. But Kerry was destroyed in July August by the Swift Boaters and Romney was destroyed in August by Obama's media onslaught of lies (Romney lived too clean cut a life to have any actual scandals).  August does matter.  This August (at least so far) has not been a good month for Trump.  I concurred with John Nolte's advice for Team Trump. Things were looking really bad. But August is not over yet...

In the last few weeks, Trump has given three very solid speeches: Last Night's Law and Order Speech in West Bend, Wisconsin (with Trump doing a solid effort on black outreach), Foreign Policy Speech in Youngstown, Ohio and an Economics Speech in Detroit, Michigan.

We all know that the mainstream media is generally hostile to Trump. It is not just Trump they are crushing, any criticism of Hillary is being squashed.

While I know few other than political junkies like myself will sit through speeches like this, Trump needs to give voters a reason to vote for him (other than Crooked Hillary is an evil witch). Basically I wanted to hear the candidate tell us why Trump Administration is a better option for the country than a Clinton Administration.  David Horowitz liked the Wisconsin one (a lot). I liked them all.

So who was behind those speeches?  Was that Bannon? Manafort? I assume we will find that out eventually.

Paul Manafort apparently did not get Trump?

Hot Air: John Sexton: The story behind the Cinco De Mayo Taco Bowl Tweet

I did not think that taco bowl tweet so offensive (I still can't figure out why the Marla Maples stuff on Trump's desk).  Actually it is sort of funny.  But the key to making it work is Trump capitalizing on it with Latino voters with a dialog of why Trump would be better for citizen working class Latinos (something I have not seen a lot of). That is why I welcome Trump reaching out to minorities with substantive issues like I heard yesterday.  

The LA Times poll does suggest Trump's support with Latinos is slightly better than Romney's and may be 14% with blacks.  Is that true?  Those would be amazing numbers for Trump, if correct.  Other data I have seen show Trump's support with both Latinos and blacks to be abysmal.  Although polls showing zero percentage support for Trump seems suspect too.  I think Trump, with an economic substantive jobs message, can do better than many think with working class voters of all races.  

  

And Trump may also bringing in Roger Ailes to help him on debate preparation. That is really interesting (given Ailes past experience), if true, although there are reports denying it (including statements from Trump). 

What may have prompted this campaign shakeup...

Ben Shapiro/Daily Wire: As you can expect, Ben Shapiro is not a big fan of Bannon running the Trump campaign (nor is he a big fan of Trump)

Rush Limbaugh: Trump gave a great speech on race that no one may see, Media obsessed with candidate they say can't win (which means he can win), Latest Liberal Assaults, Memo to Charlie Rose: Rush does not attack media, he deconstructs it (you know just like those post modern professors do at elite universities, but for a fraction of the cost), Is it time to panic?, and Crisis in Louisiana and Milwaukee: Where are Obama and Clinton?

Obama joked about it during the White House Correspondence Dinner. Trump just wanted to promote his hotels and...well the rest is where we are at. 

Andrew Breitbart said politics really is downstream of culture, and look where culture is. As predicted: "The army of the emboldened and gleefully ill-informed is growing." Even though Breitbart was not a Trump or Coulter fan, who have most successfully followed his lessons?  (in terms of media manipulation)
