Ann Coulter writes: At what point in Donald Trump\u2019s inaugural address do you figure the GOP establishment will finally grasp what\u2019s been happening?<\/p>\n
Trump is a runaway hit with Americans for the simple reason that he\u2019s the only candidate saying anything Americans care about.<\/p>\n
After the San Bernardino terrorist attack, committed by Muslim immigrants\u2013which followed the 1993 World Trade Center terrorist attack committed by Muslim immigrants; the 9\/11 terrorist attacks committed by Muslim immigrants; the Fort Hood terrorist attack committed by a Muslim immigrant; the Boston Marathon terrorist attack committed by Muslim immigrants, and on and on\u2013Trump suggested a temporary pause on Muslim immigration.<\/p>\n
The other candidates responded by attacking him viciously. Now, the eunuchs are duking it out over who has the most aggressive approach to . . . fighting ISIS!<\/p>\n
Asked why he called Trump\u2019s proposal \u201cunhinged,\u201d Jeb! explained: \u201cWell, first of all, we need to destroy ISIS in the caliphate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marco Rubio said: \u201cThe problem is we had an attack in San Bernardino,\u201d adding that \u201cwhat\u2019s important to do is we must deal frontally with this threat of radical Islamists, especially from ISIS.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ted Cruz said: \u201cWe need a president who understands the first obligation of the commander in chief is to keep America safe. If I am elected president . . . we will utterly destroy ISIS.\u201d<\/p>\n
Why are Republicans talking about starting a war in Syria to stop Muslim immigrants from killing Americans in America? Is it our job to straighten out Syria? Can\u2019t our government just stop bringing the terrorists here? If Rubio thinks he knows how to govern Syria, he\u2019s free to run for president there. {snip}<\/p>\n
Republicans love pointing out that all the gun restrictions proposed by Democrats after every mass shooting would have done absolutely nothing to stop that particular mass shooting.<\/p>\n
But the GOP\u2019s demand that we take out ISIS would also have done nothing to prevent the San Bernardino attack. As we know from Jim Comey, the director of the FBI: Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik were planning a terrorist attack against Americans before ISIS existed.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s as if there\u2019s a law of toughness conservation: The weaker a candidate is on protecting our borders, the more aggressively he talks about bombing foreign countries, a move known as \u201cthe Lindsey Graham.\u201d<\/p>\n
{snip}<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s an idea: We let backward, poverty-stricken, misogynistic, clitorectomy-performing Third Worlders scratch out a living in their medieval hellholes, and just keep them out of our country. Also known as: the Trump Plan.<\/p>\n
Except the fun parts when Trump was speaking, the candidates talked about almost nothing else at the debate but carpet-bombing the Middle East, taking out this leader or that group, sending American forces to train Sunni Arabs, touting the Kurds, announcing their specific strategies for defeating ISIS, giving perfect little answers about our nuclear throw-weights and the \u201cnuclear triad\u201d and correctly identifying the \u201cgood guys\u201d and \u201cbad guys\u201d\u2013all of whom live 7,000 miles away from us.<\/p>\n
When do we get to talk about Americans?<\/p>\n
Only Trump seems to care. Asked about dictators running the Middle East, Trump said:<\/p>\n
In my opinion, we\u2019ve spent $4 trillion trying to topple various people that frankly, if they were there and if we could\u2019ve spent that $4 trillion in the United States to fix our roads, our bridges, and all of the other problems; our airports and all of the other problems we\u2019ve had, we would\u2019ve been a lot better off. I can tell you that right now . . .<\/p>\n
{snip}<\/p>\n
These debates have turned Republicans into self-parodies of wonkery over common sense. Without Trump in the debate, the entire audience would have been asleep in 30 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
