UPDATED: The 11th Fox News GOP Debate, In Detroit, Highs & Lows

Donald Trump, Elections, Labor, Republicans, Terrorism, War

Overall assessment of the 11th GOP candidates’ debate in Detroit, 3/3/2016: Megyn Kelly was well-behaved; she had the sense to cut the snide comments and the flirty crap. Donald Trump did well except for serious pitfalls on the foreign, skilled-worker visa front, his university, Edward Snowden (100% hero), and other odds and ends. Ted Cruz cruised; no highs no lows. That’s the thing. One expects more from Cruz but one is forever disappointed. Marco Rubio was a robotic mess, if that oxymoron makes sense. He does, however, have a knack for the quick quip. John Kasich surprised in his critique of Hillary Clinton’s war in Libya, but as is always the case with the Republicans, they apply different criteria to Bush’s war crimes. In other words, you can’t trust them. Essentially, if Republicans launch an unwarranted war it’s considered a good thing; if the Dems do the same it’s bad.

TWEETS:

MOST IMPORTANT:

UPDATE: My politcal instincts are GOOD. Trump is already responding to the H-1B missteps I highlighted:

HUMDRUM:

Mitt Romney Gives Mormons (I Love The Mormons) A Bad Name

Bush, Donald Trump, Elections, Iraq, Morality, Republicans, Taxation

Mitt Romney, who inherited his privileges, says of Donald Trump, “He inherited his business, he didn’t create it.” Pot, kettle, black?

But above all, Romney is utterly morally bankrupt in his praise for war criminal George W. Bush, while condemning Trump (who has never ordered the killing of a single Iraqi kid) for destroying Dubya’s precious memory:

“Donald Trump says he admires Vladimir Putin, while has called George W. Bush a liar. That is a twisted example of evil trumping good.”

(Required reading: “Trump Called Bush A Liar & He Won South Carolina (Nevada, too)” & “Making America Great Means Exposing ‘W.’”)

“On foreign policy,” says Romney, “Donald Trump tells us that he is very, very smart. I’m afraid that when it comes to foreign policy he is very, very not smart.”

Sounds like ad hominen, not argument, Mitt.

At least Trump has not promised to bomb the world as Romney did during his failed, meek, mild and obsequious run against Barack Obama, in 2012.

On Iraq, says malevolent Mitt, Trump “spoke in favor of invading.”

Well, Trump did come out forcefully against the invasion of Iraq early in the game, when Romney was cheering the Republican blood hounds he runs with. But it is true that Trump has a horrible record of actually speaking coherently and consistently. His linguistic infelicities are unbearable. Surprising, too, given Trump was such a well-spoken, refined young man. Then again, Trump has not been a politician and should not be treated as such.

Trump has never passed a law. He’s political tabula rasa to Mitt Romney’s iffy record.

On his wealth: Romney predicts “that there are more bombshells in his tax returns. I predict that he doesn’t give much if anything to the disabled and to our veterans. … And I predict that despite his promise to do so, first made over a year ago, he will never ever release his tax returns. Never. Not the returns under audit, not even the returns that are no longer being audited. He has too much to hide.”

Let’s see. Trump’s tax returns will indeed be revealing.

MORE from the bitter and twisted Mitt, who respects the Republican base not at all.

Liberal Libel & Anti-White Race Onslaught Intensifies

Donald Trump, Journalism, Left-Liberalism And Progressivisim, Media, Race, Racism

Wow, Donald Trump is so right about the filthy fudging of facts and definitions courtesy of America’s malfunctioning media. Jared Taylor, the object of scorn in “Donald Trump’s Message Resonates With White Supremacists,” is a white nationalist, not a white supremacist. Even Wikipedia gets that right. But not the New York Times’ incompetent, malevolent JONATHAN MAHLER. Oh no.

Donald Trump isn’t “exploit[ing] a mood of mistrust and resentment across much of the electorate”; he’s reflecting it. Do the left-liberal, northeastern elites not realize how hated they are for their libel and lies?

Republican Party Apparatchiks Put The Party Over The People

Conservatism, Donald Trump, Republicans

Nebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse, whose avid supporter, Mark Levin, now says he’s a fraud*, is fond of preaching about conservatism.

And as a real conservative, Sasse would like nothing more than to dissolve the Republican base and elect another more compliant support base to better reflect his ideas. Of course, Sasse phrases his goals more diplomatically:

“The American people deserve better than two fundamentally dishonest New York liberals.” (Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.)

Today, Sasse was put on the spot by MSNBC’s Chuck Todd:

Let me ask you this. If you have — what is a political party? And I ask it this way. Is it a, is it a party who gets its principles and its ideals from its leaders, or is it ground up? What if this is the people speaking and the people are basically handing the nomination to Donald Trump? You may not like it, but is it then fundamentally that the Republican party is changing because the people that are members of it have changed?

Sasse, the power hungry fool, conceded that “a political party is a tool, not a religion,” but went on to dictate his terms of party conservatism to the base. “Find the right guy,” Sasse said to Republican voters. Trump’s not it.

Republican Party apparatchiks have always put Party over People and The People are ON TO THEM.

MORE.

*Levin has a record of endorsements that don’t work out (because most Scarlet Letter E–for establishment–Republicans are frauds).
