The 'Deplorables' Are Teaching Trump How to Be President

freedomsback.com/

Roger L. Simon "It's been evident the last few weeks that Donald Trump seems to be hitting his stride as a presidential candidate, his speeches and off-the-cuff remarks sharp and on point without wandering into that hold-your-breath gaffeland that characterized his appearances for months.

"His new maturity is paying off in the polls, leaving the MSM and the NeverTrumpers holding their breaths as the gaffes are coming from the other side now, most notably Mrs. Clinton's characterization of millions of Americans as "deplorables," a statement she will never be able fully to take back, because it is so obviously what she believes." . . .

. . . "Although Trump last February in one of his dopier loose moments bragged that his supporters would continue to back him even if he committed murder, he never quite grasped who those supporters were. He thought of them as his most slavishly devoted reality-show fans, certain to be with him for the next season or three. But in reality they were the people of the lost American heartland, physically and emotionally, yearning to heal their country and willing to overlook what they knew to be Donald's imperfections for a better good." . . . 

More than a bit despicable

Release The Chakra! Hillary Campaign In Talks To Bring Al Gore To Campaign Trail…

Weasel Zippers  "They must be desperate if they think Al “Human Ambien” Gore will help."
Via NY Times:

Can Mr.Gore help prevent a third party?

2010: Al Gore Pleaded With Masseuse to "Release His Second Chakra"   . . . "Gore said he was tired from travel and described in detail the massage he wanted. It included work on the adductor muscles, which are on the inside of the thighs. “I mentally noted that a request for adductor work is a bit unusual,” the masseuse told police, because it can be “a precursor to inappropriate behavior by a male client.”

"Gore also requested work on his abdomen. When that began, “He became somewhat vocal with muffled moans, etc.,” the masseuse recounted. Gore then “demand[ed] that I go lower.” When she remained focused on a “safe, nonsexual” area, Gore grew “angry, becoming verbally sharp and loud.”

The masseuse asked Gore what he wanted. “He grabbed my right hand, shoved it down under the sheet to his pubic hair area, my fingers brushing against his penis,” she recalled, “and said to me, ‘There!’ in a very sharp, loud, angry-sounding tone.” When she pulled back, Gore “angrily raged” and “bellowed” at her.

Then, abruptly, the former vice president changed tone. It was “as though he had very suddenly switched personalities,” she recalled, “and began in a pleading tone, pleading for release of his second chakra there.”

And Mr. Gore can indeed bellow as we see below:

"President Bush played on our fears"

The label says "Obama played on our fears", but that is mislabeled; Gore is speaking of President Bush and the war in Iraq. 

Perhaps we can assume if Obama or Gore were president at the time instead of George Bush the 9-11 terrorists would have suffered no consequences. Sure, Obama would have shouted that those who committed this crime would hear from us all very soon, but I cannot see anything else coming after that. 
I can see Mr. Obama fitting in very well with the "what did we do wrong to make them hate us?" crowd.  The Tunnel Dweller.

What if Hillary should drop out? Who else is out there?

"Before this is over, Dems will put Hillary in a wheelchair and call her the 2nd coming of FDR."  "Old, tired, ill, and a congenital liar not a prescription for success."

Drudge: Which Democrat Should Replace Hillary?  The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 48% of Likely Democratic Voters believe Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s primary rival, should be their party’s nominee if health issues forced her out of the race. Twenty-two percent (22%) say Vice President Joe Biden should be the nominee, while only 14% opt for Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, the current Democratic vice presidential candidate. 

How Bernie Sanders Die-Hards Echo Clinton Conspiracy Theories
"It’s not just conservatives pushing the idea that the Democratic nominee is sicker than she admits."

Even the Libertarians aren’t serious about fiscal reform.  "Weld, for his part, pours well-deserved scorn on Donald Trump and Hillary Rodham Clinton for their flat refusal to take seriously the need for entitlement reform. But even the doughty Libertarians — who, let’s face it, do not actually have anything to lose, politically speaking — are knee-deep in wishful thinking when it comes to fiscal reform."

Democrats Have No Choice But to Continue With Hillary

. . . "Cass Sunstein once observed that Democratic presidents could count on being "lucky" -- being elected in times of prosperity following someone else's administration. Hillary will not have that advantage thanks to Barack Obama.  She comes at a moment when the world is aflame and the nation is divided. If, to paraphrase Lefty Gomez, you have to be lucky when you aren't good, then this time America had better be lucky, because it has no reasonable expectation of good." . . .

There is little mention of Jill Stein out there, perhaps because of stories like this.

Deplorable's anthem. The Dixie Chicks were not available to do this.

Via American Thinker

We Deplorables may have an anthem  "A theme repeated every day here and all across the conservative web is that we ordinary Americans, the folks whom Hillary Clinton characterizes as irredeemables and deplorables, are fed up with her and everything she represents – the constant lying and misrepresentation that pervades every aspect of her, her husband, and the criminally dishonest political party they head.  Over and over we find ourselves saying we are sick and tired of the Clintons themselves as well as their usual corrupt way of doing business and that we need to stand up and say so, which is exactly what all those deplorable Americans are trying to do at those Trump rallies. 

"What we, and those folks at those rallies, need is a political anthem that captures that fed-up, sick and tired feeling as well as a defiant refusal to put up with it anymore."  Sooooo...

At the U.N., Only Israel Is an ‘Occupying Power’

EUGENE KONTOROVICH and PENNY GRUNSEID  

"What about Russia in Crimea, Armenia in parts of Azerbaijan, or what Vietnam did in Cambodia?"

For starters, Russia and Vietnam are the darlings of the left.

"The United Nations began its annual session this week, and Israel will be prominent on the agenda. Many fear the Security Council may consider a resolution setting definite territorial parameters, and a deadline, for the creation of a Palestinian state.

"President Obama has hinted that in the final months of his term, he may reverse the traditional U.S. policy of vetoing such resolutions. The General Assembly, meanwhile, is likely to act as the chorus in this drama, reciting its yearly litany of resolutions criticizing Israel.

"If Mr. Obama is seeking to leave his mark on the Israeli-Arab conflict—and outside the negotiated peace process that began in Oslo—there is no worse place to do it than the U.N. New research we have conducted shows that the U.N.’s focus on Israel not only undermines the organization’s legitimacy regarding the Jewish state. It also has apparently made the U.N. blind to the world’s many situations of occupation and settlements." . . .

The Volokh Conspiracy:   Why the U.N.’s Israel obsession should worry even people who don’t care about Israel  "Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal ran an op-ed by me and Penny Grunseid, “At the U.N., Only Israel is an Occupying Power.” The piece was the result of a research project in which we use content analysis software to compare the language of U.N. resolutions about Israel with the language of other resolutions. Here, we focused on comparing the legal language and general tone of U.N. resolutions dealing with Israel to the legal language and tone of resolutions dealing with the eight recent or ongoing situations of belligerent occupation that have involved substantial levels of settlement activity, which I identified in my newresearch paper, “Unsettled: A Global Study of Settlements in Occupied Territories.' ”

Was it a trap? Flint pastor promised to ‘educate’ Donald Trump

Joe Newby  "Rev. Faith Green Timmons made news when she interrupted GOP nominee Donald Trump during a speech he gave at the Bethel United Methodist Church in Flint, Michigan.  But Fox News’ Todd Starnes said that “something doesn’t pass the smell test.”
Watch the incident here.

"It seems the good pastor posted a note on Facebook promising to “educate” the nominee.  The post was deleted, but not before being captured by several people:" . . .

. . ." Starnes added:

Well, I guess the Rev. Timmons showed Mr. Trump — ambushing him in a House of Worship. I will give her credit for hushing up a protester who kept interrupting his remarks.

By the way, the Rev. Timmons has since deleted that Facebook posting. Hmm.

Mr. Trump showed great restraint and class as he complied with her request. And he deserves credit for at least trying to start a dialogue.

I wonder if Rev. Timmons “educated” President Obama like she did Mr. Trump?

"Say what?  It would certainly appear that she’s a staunch Obama supporter:" . . .

The Legacies of Barack Obama; it includes the candidacy of Donald Trump

Victor Davis Hanson

"Racial relations in this country seem as bad as they have been in a half­ century. " . . .

Mr Hanson writes of what he sees happening in Obama's home stretch:

. . . "Apparently Obama is veering even further to the left, in hopes of establishing a rhetorical progressive legacy in lieu of any lasting legislative or foreign policy achievement. Turning the presidency into an edgy soapbox is seemingly all that is left of Obama's promise to "fundamentally transform" the country. 

"But divisive sermonizing and the issuing of executive orders are not the same as successfully reforming our health care system. The Affordable Care Act, born of exaggeration and untruth, is now in peril as insurers pull out and the costs of premiums and deductibles soar. 

"Even presidential nominee and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is not really defending the Obama administration's past "red line" in Syria, the "reset" with Vladimir Putin's Russia, the bombing of Libya, the Benghazi tragedy, the euphemistic rebranding of Islamic terrorism as mere "violent extremism," the abrupt pullout from (and subsequent collapse of) Iraq, or the Iran nuclear deal that so far seems to have made the theocracy both rich and emboldened. 

"The U.S. economy ­­ with its record ­low growth over eight years, near ­record labor nonparticipation rates, record national debt and record consecutive years of zero interest rates ­­ is not much of a legacy either. " . . .

San Diego’s new stadium may be tackled by NFL protests

Legal Insurrection

Americans won’t passively watch political drama at game-time any longer.

. . . "Like me, many people are tired of others turning their sports and entertainment into a political messaging opportunity. Football fans across the country are deeply unhappy at the disrespect being shown to the nation during the anthem-based protests, tired of the #BlackLivesMatters campaign and its race baiting promoters, and angry that the NFL and the teams’ officials are allowing the racialist histrionics to continue.

"Since the football professionals don’t want to clamp down on these game-time protests, citizens are using social media to initiate a boycott campaign themselves.

More commentary on The Deplorables

greenvilleonline.com

If you wonder how the "deplorables" comment will affect the media. keep this in mind: Media Puts Debate Moderators On Notice: Protect Hillary

. . . "But Hillary Clinton is such an awful candidate and corrupt human being, the media can spin only so much to keep people in the dark. As the curtain is pulled back even further, the stench of desperation is emerging." . . .

Coulter: Specifically, what percentage of Muslims are “sexist” or “homophobic"?   . . . "The only way we find out that Duke is still alive is that Republicans are asked to denounce him every four years. For all we know, Duke died 20 years ago and the media are using a body double.

"Will Hillary ever be asked to "disavow" Al Sharpton, George Soros, Black Lives Matter or Colin Kaepernick? These are people who have power and visibility even when it's not an election year. In fact, the only time some of them are not in the public eye is during election years, when, for example, Al Sharpton is sent off to a safe house for six months. By contrast, the only time Duke is in the news is during election years." . . .

Politico: Hillary’s Risky ‘Deplorables’ Strategy   . . . "By squarely siding with civil rights activists who demand that racism be forcefully confronted, she’s making clear that she views her path to victory doesn’t run through the white working-class vote. Rather, she’s making a bet that the makeup of 21st century America allows her to do something no Democratic nominee, not even Barack Obama, has done before: win the White House without winking at white grievance." . . .

After decades of Democrats chasing the white working-class vote, mostly to no avail, Barack Obama rendered the chase unnecessary. 

If He Really Wants To Help Blacks, Colin Kaepernick Needs To Put Up Or Shut Up

The Federalist
"Instead of insulting our nation, NFL athletes should use their money and fame to work towards actual solutions to the black issues they purport to care about."

"Much has been made recently of Colin Kaepernick refusing to stand for our national anthem to protest what he sees as the oppression of black people. It now appears Kaepernick’s actions have in琀influenced other players, with additional NFL athletes refusing to stand at attention for the anthem, and some even raising the black power fist琀 in protest. 

"As a black person who is a football fan, I state plainly: this is stupid. The simple reason is the 琀lag, our anthem, and the best parts of America that it represents are not the cause of black people’s problems. 

"Thus instead of insulting our nation and Americans who actually like what our 琀lag stands for, these NFL athletes should use their money and fame to work towards actual solutions to the black issues they purport to care about. Here are four ways they can do so.
