No, you cannot have the Republican Party back

Graphic courtesy of Evi L. Bloggerlady, a cow but not a coward -- unlike the Never Trump sheep who believe they can take back the Republican Party.

The former conservatives in what Evi (we are on a first name basis) calls the Cuckshed -- the Bulwark, the Dispatch, National Review, and wherever turncoats hang out -- believe they can bluff their way back into the Republican Party. I can see why. Having fooled us for decades into believing they were anything but grifters parting rich donors from their money, Jonah and his friends rightly believe they can fool us again.

Before I explain why that won't happen, let me explain why they think they can. They got away with it for years.

On January 28, 2016, Tucker Carlson exposed them for who they are in a column in Politico, "Donald Trump Is Shocking, Vulgar and Right. And, my dear fellow Republicans, he's all your fault."

His argument was the now President Trump actually stood for conservative values which upset the DC conservatives because they feared he actually would accomplish what they said they wanted, which would end the game of all talk, no action that has gone on in Washington ever since President Reagan left.

Carlson wrote, "Trump is in part a reaction to the intellectual corruption of the Republican Party. That ought to be obvious to his critics, yet somehow it isn’t.

"Consider the conservative nonprofit establishment, which seems to employ most right-of-center adults in Washington. Over the past 40 years, how much donated money have all those think tanks and foundations consumed? Billions, certainly. (Someone better at math and less prone to melancholy should probably figure out the precise number.) Has America become more conservative over that same period? Come on. Most of that cash went to self-perpetuation: Salaries, bonuses, retirement funds, medical, dental, lunches, car services, leases on high-end office space, retreats in Mexico, more fundraising. Unless you were the direct beneficiary of any of that, you’d have to consider it wasted.

"Pretty embarrassing. And yet they’re not embarrassed. Many of those same overpaid, underperforming tax-exempt sinecure-holders are now demanding that Trump be stopped. Why? Because, as his critics have noted in a rising chorus of hysteria, Trump represents “an existential threat to conservatism.”

"Let that sink in. Conservative voters are being scolded for supporting a candidate they consider conservative because it would be bad for conservatism? And by the way, the people doing the scolding? They’re the ones who’ve been advocating for open borders, and nation-building in countries whose populations hate us, and trade deals that eliminated jobs while enriching their donors, all while implicitly mocking the base for its worries about abortion and gay marriage and the pace of demographic change. Now they’re telling their voters to shut up and obey, and if they don’t, they’re liberal."

Kurt Schlichter mocks the hell out of the Cuckshed and their annual cruises in which they entertain old rich people giving minstrel performances of conservatism. I am not sure what percentage of Bill Kristol's income derived from these cruises but entertaining the rich is a talent that places him in league with toy dogs, Shetland ponies, and rose gardening.

Kristol has been part of the media-driven minstrel show of pseudo-intellectuals in conservative face. They are the Washington Generals basketball team which nightly accepts its fate as the losers serving as a prop for the Harlem Globetrotters. I prefer to call these writers minstrels but they are popularly known as cuckolds.

In the Trump era, Never Trump pays well because these minstrels play on the liberal media's caricature of Donald Trump.

They believe that when President Trump is gone, they can take back the party.

But by opposing Donald Trump, these geniuses exposed themselves as phonies because here is a partial list of what they also opposed:

• Cutting taxes.
• Cutting regulations.
• Moving the embassy to Jerusalem.
• Peace in the Middle East.
• Not starting a war.
• Disarming Iran.
• 3.5% unemployment.
• The first real wage growth since Reagan.
• The appointment of 3 conservative justices.
• The appointment of 55 conservative appellate judges.
• A fair trade deal with Canada and Mexico.
• Upholding immigration law.

The list is far longer. To make it simpler, just make it they oppose everything they said they supported since 1980. 

They will not take the party back because the 80 million people who voted for President Trump saw what he accomplished despite sabotage and outright sedition by federal employees and Congress.

This post was intended to be a rebuke of a National Review editorial that claims President Trump is embarrassing himself by fighting the Democrat steal of the election.

Says who?

Democrats?

Cuckolds?

Their approval matters not in the eyes of any conservative.

What matters is the 80 million of us who re-elected him, rewarding him for a tolerance we don't have, an energy most of us lack, and accomplishments no first term president has had since James Polk doubled the size of the country.

A cow makes more sense than these cowards.
