Trump’s terrible horrible no good very bad day starts with Bill O’Lielly taking him to the woodshed...and gets worse from there, I’m not EVEN going to touch on the whole Bondi Bribe thing, I will leave that to other Diarists. BUT...
Perhaps Donald should take Khizr Khan up on his offer??When you are the Republican Nominee...and Bill O’Lielly takes you to the woodshed over your stand concerning birthright citizenship as enshrined in the Fourteenth Amendment, you are having a BAD DAY…
Perhaps someone should explain that the birthright clause as part of the Fourteenth Amendment was designed to prevent recently-freed slaves , brought here against their will in the first place...from being deported against their will!
Of course, it has even larger implications today...imagine if a fascist, oh, say Tonald Drump...were to gain real power...and decide to administer “loyalty” tests to everyone? And certain people...oh, let’s say...liberals and progressives (i.e. people who stood against his agenda) were deemed “not sufficiently loyal?” Suppose you were born here, lived your who life here...and then were deemed “not sufficiently loyal enough” and stripped of your citizenship (and also right to vote!!) — making it impossible to remove such people from power? Could I have just accidentally uncovered the TRUE AGENDA of the alt-right here? What would happen to you? Would you get deported...and if so WHERE? Even assuming another country agreed to take you! More likely you'd simply be "dealt with” right?
It gets even WORSE for Trump...and thus even BETTER for us…
The Dallas Morning News, a known Republican rag, LAMBASTED Donald Trump in an editorial.
Newspaper endorsements do not carry the weight they once did...but when a known Republican rag of a newspaper...once who has endorsed the Republican Presidential candidate the last 20 elections...LAMBASTES the Republican nominee...you are having a very bad day!
But it gets EVEN BETTER…
The same Dallas Morning News...which has endorsed the Republican Nominee for the last 20 elections, since before World War II...ENDORSED HILLARY CLINTON for President!!
Again, newspaper endorsements do not carry the weight they once did, but still...when a newspaper like The Dallas Morning News...takes the step of endorsing a Democrat for the first time in over 75 years...THAT IS YUUUUUGE!!
Herr DrumpfNow, getting back to the O’Lielly thing...I really HATE to draw Hitler comparisons...because it tends to weaken your argument, but it really applies here, when you think about it.
Like Hitler, Trump is extremely narcissistic, and BASKS in the adulation of his followers. They feed on each other. The alt-right will NOT continue to shower this sort of adulation Trump needs and desires...if he backs off from their core stances!
I am just going to point out here that Hitler was NOT THE ARYAN IDEAL (blond hair and blue eyes, right?) yet, they continued to shower adulation on him...because he let them do what they wanted to do! Hitler may or may not have actually personally held all the beliefs of his followers..but he fed and enabled those beliefs in his followers...and he was smart enough to know that if he ever stopped doing that, they would turn on him in a heartbeat, and feed HIM into the ovens without hesitation!
Either Trump really does not intend to win...and is a crazy genius, drawing out these people on the alt-right, and thus exposing their agenda before they were ready to implement it...thus saving us from a horrible fate...or he (Trump) is trapped, and knows it...into supporting an agenda he himself does not personally hold - which is why we do nit see a “pivot” — OR he truly does hold the views he is endorsing. One of these three suppositions are correct. Whichever one is correct, the conclusion is the same: If we want to save America for our children and grandchildren, Donald Trump MUST BE DEFEATED! And even conservatives are staring to say so!
