Complete White House post-midterms press conference with President Trump, Wednesday, November 7th

Once again the American Media Maggots go out of their way to prove they are aptly named by me.

Trump Pins Down 8 Republicans Who Resisted His Help and Lost in 2018

by Michelle Moons

President Donald Trump called out the Republican 2018 midterm election candidates who rejected his help and lost their races.

Trump recounted in the reporter-filled White House East Room press conference Wednesday that some of the midterm election candidates pushed him away, essentially disassociating with the president. “They did very poorly,” he said.

Here comes the truth.

“I’m not sure if I should be happy or sad,” Trump said of those Republican candidates who rejected him and lost. “But I feel just fine about it.”

Republican incumbent Rep. Carlos Curbelo lost to the Democrat challenger is Florida’s 26th congressional district. This in spite of major Republican victories in Florida for Ron DeSantis who won the race to become Florida’s next governor and Rick Scott who was ahead Wednesday in the election for a Florida U.S. Senate seat. Trump campaigned in the state for both of these candidates.

Incumbent Republican Rep. Mike Coffman was the next midterm candidate Trump called out on Wednesday for refusing his help. Coffman lost his re-election bid in Colorado to Democrat challenger Jason Crow. “Too bad Mike,” said Trump. 

Rep. Mia Love was the third name Trump listed. He recalled Love’s appeal to him to help with a hostage situation in Venezuela. “But Mia Love gave me no love. And she lost. Too bad,” said Trump. “Sorry about that Mia.” Incumbent Rep. Love trailed Democrat challenger Ben McAdams by more than 4,000 votes and two and a half percentage points as of midday Wednesday.

Rep. Barbara Comstock was number four on Trump’s list. “I think she could have won that race, but she didn’t have any embrace,” Trump said referring to her rejection of his midterm support. “She lost, substantially lost.” Comstock lost to Democrat challenger Jennifer Wexton in Virginia’s 10th congressional district.

Reps. Peter Roskam and Eric Paulson “Didn’t want the embrace,” said Trump of the incumbent Republican congressmen from Illinois’ sixth and Minnesota’s third congressional districts. Roskam lost to Democrat challenger Sean Casten. Paulson lostheavily to Democrat challenger Dean Phillips. 

Republican businessman Bob Hugin challenged scandal-laden Democrat Rep. Bob Menendez and lost in New Jersey. Trump lamented the loss, “I feel badly…That’s a race that could have been won.” Hugin was the one non-incumbent Trump called out.

Eighth on Trump’s list was incumbent Republican Rep. John Faso lost to Democrat challenger Antonio Delgado. 

The president said Wednesday that these eight were a few of those who “decided for their own reason not to embrace- whether it’s me or what we stand for, but what we stand for meant a lot to most people and we’ve had tremendous support.”

Here is the blunt truth: 45 GOP incumbents got cold feet or were anti-Trump and exited, leaving a massive political vacuum. They lacked the courage and tenacity to stand their GOP ground. There’s your real reason for the GOP’s loss of the House.

Bottom line: the Republicans could still own the Oval Office, Senate and House today if they weren’t vain, craven squishes.

Why DC has turned to shite

I’ve said it for over six months and, despite that, some elements of the media are just now beginning to catch up. And that is this.

The Demorats, the DNC, Leftists and the American Media Maggots themselves have not been able to psychologically migrate from November 8th, 2016 to November 9th, 2016.

As in: Hillary Rodham Clinton should be president and we — all of us — cannot possibly believe that the man with the dead orange cat on his head is in charge of anything at all.

The One Sentence That Explains Washington Dysfunction

by Matthew Continetti

The other day Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania explained why Republicans are having such trouble with health care. Speaking at a town hall during the July 4 recess, Toomey said, “I didn’t expect Donald Trump to win. I think most of my colleagues didn’t. So we didn’t expect to be in this situation.”

No kidding. I too can report that, from June 16, 2015, to November 8, 2016, the feeling among the elected officials, party functionaries, consultants, strategists, and journalists in our nation’s capital was that Donald J. Trump stood no chance of becoming president of the United States. And because the political elite held this view with such self-assurance, with all the egotism and snobbery and moral puffery and snarkiness that distinguishes itself as a class, it did not spend more than a second, if that, thinking through the possible consequences of a Trump victory.

I repeat, at the risk of being repetitive, live and direct from the Department of Redundancy Dept., what I’ve said for at least nine months. Absolutely no one was prepared for or anticipated Donald Trump to win.

“I didn’t expect Donald Trump to win. I think most of my colleagues didn’t. So we didn’t expect to be in this situation.”

Please allow me to translate EstabliHack GOP Speak for you: “we didn’t expect Donald Trump to win so we essentially prepared nothing, thinking we’d be riding on more of the standard ‘talk much/do little’ strategy so customary with Establishment Republicans.”

That also accounts, you see, for the GOP having no cogent, conservative, logical alternative to ObamaKare prepared on paper though all of the candidates swore — as did the entire GOP itself — to repeal and replace the ACA.

Just as the Demorats were convinced Hillary Clinton would clap her canky little ankles up the White House steps, so were the Republicans convinced that Meb Bushney or Lindike Grahabee would settle a derriere behind the Resolution desk.

Not so, boys and girls, not so.

Further, all the oinking DC piglets lining up at the trough on both sides of the aisle have had their muzzles occasionally pulled from the DC nipple in a most disconcerting fashion and they are anything but pleased. The man with the dead orange cat on his head has most certainly upset the proverbial apple cart and, frankly, couldn’t care less who is affected, donk or phant.

This accounts for the true underminers on both sides to have wound up and pitched their most hellish opposition to damn near everything Trump has wanted to do. Internal squabbles Inside Power don’t help, either.

Despite all of this ridiculous shite President Trump has managed to do just a bit of politicking and directing which has resulted in any number of corporations deciding to stay stateside, a nice stock market, an uptick in jobs, an accountable VA, an exquisite Supreme Court selection, a reduction in illegal immigration from Mexico, an increase in deportations, the curtains finally having been pulled back on the American Media Maggots, an improvement in military and national confidence and the wholesale elimination of any number of executive orders penned by one Barack Hussein Obama.

All in six months.

Then there’s this: the absolute stark explosion of raving moonbattery from the Demorats and Leftists.

Why stop there? Pelosi so perfectly typifies and embodies the current status of the Demorats today: disjointed, stuttering, rambling, going nowhere and accomplishing nothing yet making a loud noise doing so. The abject moonbattery is quite delicious.

To that I can only add that I’ll gladly do for the Demorats what I’ve offered to do for the American Media Maggots: pleasantly allow them to commit seppuku. I’ll cheerfully be their second as well and suggest lovingly where and how to make that second very important sword cut.

Impeachment for Trump? Hardly. All the Demorats are doing is, thankfully, unraveling and unfocusing. 2018 is starting to look better and better.

Bravo, Demorats and GOP EstabliHacks.

We see you.

And you wonder why Conservatives HATE the GOP?

First Senate Appropriations Bill Passed Spends More Than Obama Requested

by Phillip Wegmann

The U.S. Senate’s first spending bill of 2016 spends more than President Barack Obama requested and lacks significant conservative amendments, but it still sailed to passage in the Republican-led Senate Thursday.

An overwhelming number of U.S. senators on both sides of the aisle approved the energy and water development appropriations bill by a vote of 90-8. Conservatives had objected to the higher spending levels and lack of policy riders in the weeks leading up to the vote.

In the end, it didn’t seem to matter.

Of course.  It never matters.  Not when consistent Republican jobs are on the line.  Jobs like those of, say, Mitch McConnell.  Paul Ryan.  Obama should get more cash than he originally requested because the GOP can’t wait to fellate His Imperial Member.

Leftists still mention the TEA Party.  The TEA Party died a few years ago.  It gets mentioned only by those who want to use it as a prop for power.  But the TEA Party has no power because it doesn’t exist as any form of cohesive unit today.  Leftists know this.  But they still utilize the phrase.  Because they have more balls than the GOP.

Moving legislation and avoiding fights has been a top election year priority for Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. The Kentucky Republican wants the GOP Senate to prove that Republicans can govern by avoiding a one-and-done omnibus spending package at the end of the year.

GOP InvertebrateRight.  #BecauseSpineless

Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Alexander were the only Republicans to vote against the amendment. Neither responded to multiple comment requests by The Daily Signal.

“McConnell said the ‘Senate is open for business’ and if you’re a K Street lobbyist of Democrat interest group that’s definitely true,” the aide said. “But Harry Reid and the Democrats have made it abundantly clear that conservatives policies will not be tolerated in the appropriations process.”

Good to know that the GOP in DC continue to give the Demorats everything they want and then some.
