Donald Trumps latest bombshell claiming the Bush administration lied about weapons of mass destruction to get us into the Iraq War is just him doing wheelies on the way to the nomination. Hes apparently decided it would be fun to taunt the entire GOP by demonstrating that he can say anything and his voters wont care.
I wish hed stop showing off the little scamp but maybe the GOP establishment will finally get the message that voters have been waiting a really long time for a candidate who would put Americans first. Not donors not plutocrats not foreigners and certainly not foreign plutocrats (i.e. Fox News).
Trump is the first presidential candidate in 50 years who might conceivably: (1) deport illegal aliens (2) build a wall (3) block Muslim immigration (4) flout political correctness (5) bring manufacturing home and (6) end the GOPs neurotic compulsion to start wars in some godforsaken part of the world.
Thats all that matters! Are you listening yet RNC?
There is not another candidate who agrees with Trump on all these positions. Maybe one issue but not all of them -- and if its immigration they would be lying.
Even Ted Cruz still refuses to say hed deport illegal aliens (unless theyre arrested for breaking some other law) build a wall (instead he talks about border security which is code for: No Wall) or reduce legal immigration at all.
Trump is like a greatest-hits album. The two political parties are the record companies refusing to put all the hits on one album and instead forcing us to choose between Republicans who will depress wages through immigration and bad trade deals or Democrats who pretend to care about working-class Americans while sacralizing abortion and gay marriage.
Trump is right about President Bush not keeping us safe -- though not about his Bush lied argument that makes me want to strangle him. This is what Trump said last October on Coyote News Sunday (FNC) about how things would have been different on 9/11 under President Trump:
Well I would have been much different I must tell you. ... I am extremely extremely tough on illegal immigration. Im extremely tough on people coming into this country. I believe that if I were running things I doubt ... that those people would have been in the country.
And that was before Trump announced his plan for a temporary ban on Muslim immigration! (By contrast as governor of Florida Jeb! aggressively pushed a bill to allow illegal aliens to get drivers licenses less than three years AFTER 13 of 19 hijackers used Florida drivers licenses to board the planes on 9/11.)
It is apparently considered less controversial to send a million troops to the Middle East than to stop printing visas for would-be terrorists.
Its not just George W. Bushs open-borders policy that cries out for re-examination. During a debate with Al Gore one year before the 9/11 attack -- committed by Arabs on U.S. commercial airlines -- he pre-emptively denounced the racial profiling of Arabs by airport security.
The Wall Street Journal proclaimed that the racial profiling issue might help Bush win Michigan. (Good call WSJ! Bush lost Michigan anyway.)
In June 2001 -- three months before the attack committed by Arabs on U.S. commercial airlines -- the Bush administration undertook a study to ensure that Arabs were not being disproportionately stopped by airport security.
When U.S. Airways ticket agent Michael Tuohey laid eyes on Mohamed Atta on the morning of 9/11 he got a chill and thought to himself If this guy doesnt look like an Arab terrorist then nothing does. But then he says he gave himself a politically correct slap and handed Atta his ticket.
Atta proceeded to murder 3000 Americans. But at least no undue scrutiny of Arabs was taking place at U.S. Airports!
The Marco Rubios Nikki Haleys Paul Ryans Jeb! Zeppo and Shemp Bushes of the GOP say: Vote for me -- we may have a terrorist attack but at least well know we did the right thing! Trump says: Im going to protect you.
Thats why it doesnt matter when Trump pops off and says things that are not conservative orthodoxy -- or even true!
Even if you think Trump is a libertine shallow narcissist you know he will do what no other Republican will: Go to Washington kick ass mock political correctness build a wall deport illegals bring manufacturing home and end the GOPs peculiar fixation with remaking the Muslim world.
This is our last chance. Its similar to the point of no return global warming alarmists keep talking about except our data isnt fake.
At our current rate of immigration/transformation if we dont break the donor fever grip now we never will. This kind of correction isnt just a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity its a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.
The GOP didnt hear us with Eric Cantor with the 2014 election or with John Boehner. After all that they still gave us Nikki Haley and Paul Ryan. President Trump is the last and only message they will understand.
