The Post takes stupidity to a Trump-like low
The New York Post has an Editorial Board. That board, on this planet, in real life, not as a joke, for real, met, discussed, and deliberated on who to endorse to be the Republican nominee for President of the United States.
When they emerged, they reached a consensus on who that man should be — Donald Trump. No, really. Yes, I’m serious.
No, this is not a practical joke. No, I’m not mistaken. Yes, it’s hard to believe, but I kid you not — The Post, at 10:36 p.m. on Thursday, proudly published their Trump endorsement.
The endorsement itself defies all logic and is so incredible that I am tempted to simply cut and paste the whole doggone thing for you to see. At times it actually reads like an intelligent critique on why this man should never, a day in his life, be given the nuclear codes. Let me give you an example: “But then there are those rookie mistakes.
“Start with policies that seem made on the fly.
“No, pulling U.S. troops out of Japan and South Korea — and pushing both countries to go nuclear to defend themselves — is not remotely a good idea. American commitments may need rethinking — but careful rethinking.
“Yes, controlling the border is one of Washington’s fundamental duties — but ‘Build the Wall’ is far too simplistic a policy for a nation of immigrants.” No, I didn’t just write that myself. Yes, I’m serious. Yeah . . . for real. In their endorsement, the money-losing tabloid said Trump’s policies often “seem made on the fly” and called his thoughts on immigration and nuclear war “rookie mistakes.”
In other words, on the biggest issues of our time, he’s absolutely terrifying.
The endorsement then went on to say, “Trump’s language, too, has too often been amateurish, divisive — and downright coarse.”
Language, as you may know, is the words that come out of our mouths. The words that come out of our mouths, as you may know, do so because of thoughts in our brain.
In their endorsement, the fact-challenged Post, on purpose, in print — on page one no less — admits Trump often speaks as a divisive, coarse, amateur.
The man will turn 70 years old this summer. Do they expect he’s going to grow up between now and November? He is who he is. GOP PRESIDENTIAL frontrunner Donald Trump just can’t stop whining about delegates.
In an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, The Donald ramped up his attacks on the Republican National Committee while also blasting the Colorado delegate process.
“Colorado had an ‘election’ without voters,” Trump wrote. “Delegates were chosen on behalf of a presidential nominee, yet the people of Colorado were not able to cast their ballots to say which nominee they preferred.”
Sounding more like Democrat Bernie Sanders than a member of the GOP, Trump railed about the “rigged” system that’s hurting America.
“Responsible leaders should be shocked by the idea that party officials can simply cancel elections in America if they don’t like what the voters may decide,” he wrote in the piece that was posted Thursday night.
Continuing to hit the same truculent note he’s been banging for the past week, Trump moaned that “1 million voters” in Colorado were sidelined.
“Let me ask America a question,” his blistering op-ed said. “How has the ‘system’ been working out for you and your family?”
Trump blasted the Republican Party for trying to defend what he said was indefensible — but the decision to forgo an open caucus or primary in Colorado was made a year ago and widely publicized, local party leaders said.
The state GOP chose to have party members select delegates at the Colorado convention to save money.
On Friday, the Republican National Committee roared back at Trump with a coordinated response.
“These plans were promptly circulated to all of the campaigns and the RNC held a briefing with over 100 members of the media in attendance laying out these plans the next day on Oct. 2,” RNC Communications Director Sean Spicer said.
Trump, meanwhile, hopes New York marks an end to the worst period of his candidacy — a stretch that raised new questions about his policy abilities and revealed his campaign’s lack of preparedness for a delegate fight if the GOP race heads to a contested convention.
A big victory in New York this coming Tuesday could increase his chances of clinching the nomination before the convention.
He dispatched aides to Capitol Hill on Thursday in the first of what the campaign says will be a series of regular gatherings with D.C. lawmakers.
Trump adviser Ed Brookover said after the meeting that the billionaire businessman was on a “glide path” to reaching the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the Republican nomination.
But Ohio Gov. John Kasich warned Republican donors that the party would “lose everything from the White House to the courthouse to the state house” if the wrong candidate wins the nomination.
Kasich wasn’t the only Trump adversary attacking the volatile
