“DNW, thanks for that link. I had probably seen excerpts before, but seeing him get through an hour speech was really something. It seems he really has the ability to prioritize issues. I also think he will be willing to listen to other viewpoints if they make sense.”

You’re welcome. I apologize for the way the link panned out. It looks as though I was trying to highlight the Planned Parenthood funding disgrace whereas I had actually intended the clip to start in the beginning, when he is addressing the collusive shenanigans of both parties’ leaderships, and the talk tough and give up immediately strategy of the Republican leadership.

Mr. President, there is a reason the American people are fed up with Washington … the frustration … is volcanic … Over and over again the American people rise up … and say we want change … in 2010 a tidal wave election, in 2014 a tidal wave election … and yet nothing changes in Washington. … I’d like to share … the real story of what is happening in Washington; why is it that our leaders cannot stop bankrupting this country, cannot stop the assault on our Constitutional rights ….

Seeing if these people voted for Reagan or Carter would be an easy way to poll the masses, as individual interrogations would be impractical given the numbers.

What’s the intel profile on conservative tree house?

It would be interesting if Breitbart would release where their in links came from, since comments can be tracked back to their source link.

There’s also a significant amount of white Democrats who have begun jumping ship. For 10-30 years, they were bred on Democrat demonization. I don’t think every one of them grew up in the 90s or post 2001, statistically speaking. So they couldn’t have picked it all up from Internet Alinsky seminars that were used to counter Leftist activism and subversion.

A lot of it just has to be linked back to the old Democrat “white boys”. Now that they can’t join the KKK, they need some other mob to join to feel good about themselves, like when they dumped on Bush II and other Republicans like Palin.

1) I never heard of conservativetreehouse, nor any of their contributors, until recently, and I think I’m very well read, following lots of conservative blogs many years.

Funny, isn’t it, that I knew all about Trayvon’s “purple drank” concoction, the cover-up of his high school crimes, his love of the MMA and his thug life. I also closely followed the Ferguson case, and the smallest details about the entire incident and the media complicity in the “Hands up! Don’t shoot!” fraud were readily available from all the normal conservative sites like Breitbart, PJ Media, Legal Insurrection and many, many others.

I don’t believe for an instant that this treehouse broke any of the relevant stories about these farces through original research, or I would have run across links to them everywhere.

I think treehouse is another whacked out conspiracy site like Alex Jones’ infowars.com, only they were much more successful at tapping into the legitimate anger felt by middle America, that 40% of the population that self-identifies as conservative but couldn’t be bothered with politics before. After 9/11, the 2008 collapse, Obama’s radical actions and the GOP’s betrayals, they’re finally beginning to associate politics with why their own own lives are so effed up and they are pissed.

That’s a good thing, if it were to be channeled into constructive action by people who have good ideas on how we can begin to fight back, but it’s being misused by sites like treehouse to fuel fires that will be difficult to contain.

2) You and others talk about Trump’s ability to self-finance as a good thing in and of itself, but all that means is that in the future, only the 1% will be able to run for high office.

However, it’s also possible that some less that wealthy people can attract large donations through the strength of their ideas, and at least some rich people will contribute based on sharing those beliefs, without expecting to buy special rights and privileges. If that’s not possible, then we might as well give up as a species.

You make it so I don’t have to go to conservative treehouse to know what they’re saying there 🙂 .

I have found that a lot of the most rabid, obnoxious and dishonest Trumpers that infect both Breitbart and PJ Media come from the conservativetreehouse, which is why I refer to it as conservativenuthouse, or conservative outhouse.

I am used to commenting at Breitbart, and my ratio of upvotes to comments is about 3:1 on 4,000 comments, which used to be in the higher range. Even in retirement, this is a considerable investment of my time. I also do a lot of reading and research to support what I say in my comments.

Now come these loons posting many dozens of abusive, insulting and dishonest comments there every day, inundating every article, and many of them come from the treehouse. They often have 10,000-40,000+ comments with a ratio of 10:1 to hundreds to one, indicating these people cannot have a life, and those on that site more resemble an angry mob than anything.

These people are the most politically ignorant and naive as I have ever encountered on the internet. Their comments are devoid of reason, logic or considered arguments, filled with invective. They’ve fallen for Trump’s celebrity and demagoguery hook line and sinker.

These are the kinds of things that Cruz can bring up, and that other candidates will ignore. Since Clinton is now losing support among millenial women, some of them may be reachable. All we need is a commie running the UN because she has a vagina.
