Trump has attacked the Houthis, Iran, and is assembling an armada against Venezuela as we speak, but fantasy world dweller Scott Greer says the future of the GOP isn't about foreign policy

The Old Guard Is Not the Right’s Future

  ... Republicans are less likely now to back NATO and other international commitments. Republicans are not as greatly concerned with foreign affairs as think tankers are. It was ranked near the bottom of issues that 2024 voters cared about. ... Obsessing over fiscal policy, advocating for more foreign interventions, and being willing to capitulate on immigration is not a winning formula either in the GOP primaries or for a general electorate. ... [David] French, unlike other Never Trumpers, has given up on the GOP entirely. He thinks it’s Trump’s party now and for the foreseeable future.

He’s obviously right. Only an America First candidate, not a Paul Ryan type, can hold the coalition together. ...

 

The alt-right fringe is now acceptable at The American Conservative, and in the line-up at Real Clear Politics, all of which have become completely incoherent, including on the primacy of fiscal policy, which is the cause of, and the solution to, all the ills now afflicting the young people Greer would speak for.

 

Reagan authored those ills, and Trump has double-downed on them.

 

Well, we can't have a bizarre situation now can we, not when 30 stars in the observable universe die every second

Vast majority of US soldiers in WWII believed in racial segregation: They defeated Hitler anyway, the bastards

Not with a president who wants more immigrants than ever before, it doesn't

Scott Greer is correct: Sessions endorsed Trump in February 2016 while the pack of weasels led by Rush Limbaugh was still all-in for Ted Cruz in March

Sessions' endorsement in February meant Trump had more Senate support than either Ted Cruz or Bernie Sanders at the time. With Jeb Bush throwing in the towel also in February, the entire establishment GOP was melting down so bad over Trump that many establishment Republicans saw Cruz as the only way to stop Trump and possibly throw the nomination into a brokered convention.

No one, by the way, gaslights better than they do.  It's the secret of their success.

The lawyers suck because their PROFESSORS are even worse

Claire Thomas is director of something called the Asylum Clinic at New York Law School

Smith is at DOJ, is adjunct at George Washington and George Mason Law, was a John McCain staffer

This bad Greer take is like George W. Bush saying you're either with us or against us in his war on terror

Tariffs are especially called for against communists qua communists, but Trump would be just fine with free trade with the Chicoms as long as it were truly free. Trump has no there there.

That's funny, that's what Jesus said

But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Young man has informed opinions, makes good points

Richard Spencer falls for silly all the time, including Andrew Yang, fangs come out even for allies with the temerity to point it out

Touchy much? Belies the inherent insecurity and missing center of Richard Spencer.

Spencer: 0

Greer: 1

Meh: Trump steaks, Trump wines, Trump immigration enforcement

That PhD in theology Erickson is working on will also be about as serious as that vote for McMullen

Democrats and Republicans invite the world to come here, First Things crowd thinks it can make a purse of that sow's ear

Sacrificing Americans to avenge one slight has been our specialty ever since Lincoln started a war over one dead mule at Fort Sumter

Before the Alt-right got kicked off of anything, the Puritans were kicked off of Eurbook, Eurtwitter, Eurgle, Eurtube and Eurpal

#Bill of Rights. smh

Once upon a time in America conservatives opposed women's suffrage, social security, medicare and the 1994 crime bill, now they are for all those things (and Obamacare)

Apparently it's news to some alien peoples that Great Britain provided 68.7% of the US population's ancestry in 1790

Ancestry for 19.3% was black, the 12% balance other European (German, Dutch, French, Swedish).

They have to go back: It's not islamophobia, it's islamiloatheya
