Death to the Republic Redux

Please Mr. Codrea, cease blaming President Trump for that which the electorate is responsible for... [More]
Cantor/Brat.

We'll never know what effect the early and enthusiastic support of Trump and his populist effect would have had on the Ryan/Nehlen race because he opted to make nice with the establishment instead of draining the swamp, and did the same thing with the McCain/Ward race. And Miller/Murkowski. And his picks have all betrayed him, that is, betrayed the Americans who voted for him based on his campaign pledges. And that's on him for not doing the right thing. And then on us, or at least the effects are.

Weeks in office has absolutely nothing to do with it. I was calling for Trump to reciprocate endorsements, and specifically for Nehlen, long before.  Back when everybody was saying he didn't stand a chance in hell.

The pattern of consistently ignoring his base is evidenced throughout Trump's presidency with the continued exit of top advisors who got him there and the solidification of positions for insider quislings who have never shown loyalty to the ideas that got him elected. How do you blame the electorate for that?

Note I didn't make any arguments that resorted to including your intelligence in the equation -- if it's not that, what are you implying? And note my call was for Trump to endorse candidates of principle, something within his power to sway that electorate. Blaming them solely, offering no viable solution and rejecting the one thing that could have created a chance of change produces what, exactly?

Mr. Codrea,

You attacked President Trump while pretty much ignoring/excusing the antics and betrayals of Paul Ryan to both his oath and the American people. You ask how I blame the electorate ? Quite simple seeing as I'm not overly intelligent....Ryan has been a major problem for nearly two decades. If the fools of his congressional district electorate had not kept him in office, we wouldn't be having this back and forth. Would we ? Oh, and from this less tnan intelligent citizen, one can take "endorsements" and put them where the sun doesn't shine. The hundreds of dollars I contributed to the Nehlen campaign were not provided based on any endorsement or lack of endorsements for Mr. Nehlen. My minimal financial support for Mr. Nehlen was simply because I believe Ryan and his electorate are all deserving of a short lemgth of hemp and a tall tree. Your hypothetics that Mr. Trump's not endorsing Mr. Nehlen led to Nehlen's failure to unseat Quisling Ryan is simply ludicrous.

Although I agree with much of what you provided in your reply to me, the fact of the matter is Ryan would not be the problem he is if the morons of Wisconsin's 1st District had not kept him around to put a knofe in the back of America for nearly two decades. But hell, what do I know, eh ?

Not much about the way sheep vote, apparently.
