Like I said, it's politics and we're nowhere close to understanding the minutia going on behind the scenes.
If it upsets Coulter, then in my book, good, piss on the bitch, she sold out Conservatives years ago.

What about in front of the scenes? What conservative legislation is in place due to Mike Lee's efforts? And as Coulter says  if the border isnt secured then conservatives will be nothing  more than farts in the wind.

Something tells me you only recently discovered Coulter's wit.
Like I said, it's politics, where jostling for position, where picking up a coin, appears to the opposition as an invite for anal sex, so what we see and what is actually happening can be two completely different things.
Instead of jumping to conclusions, find out why he said it, but taking advice from the likes of Ann is akin to tax advice from the homeless.

I think she needs to go away for a while.

Smartest thing said about Ann Coulter in a long time.


Looking back, I think her choice to back Trump was well-calculated, considering the field of candidates.   She might have believed a Cruz vs Clinton wasn't going to make it, but Trump was the only path to the White House.... as much as we detest the idea - I give her credit for seeing the discontent of middle Americans.   It played out the way she expected it, Trump won, but keeping him catering to Conservatism is a *real* problem.   She's admitting that much, and sending the message, "Abandon the Constitutional Conservative agenda - the stuff that got you elected - and even "I" (Ann Coulter), who supported you from the get go - will say "goodbye!"

Now that she's said that, hit the beach, relax, and enjoy a Margarita or two... or stay in the spot light and face the arrows.

If you've listened to a little bit of Hannity lately, his hand-wringing defense of Trump is indicative of the waning support Trump *had*.   There's been a a good number of accomplishments rolling back Obama's last minute regulations, but that's the House taking the initative - OK - where's the DEAL-MAKER in the WH who's driving the so-called Conservative agenda?   We still got Obama-care, the wall isn't being built, where's the funding for it?

In front of the cameras, I like Donald Trump.   Behind the scenes... I think Ted Cruz might wield the reins of power more effectively.  The problem we're beginning to see, and that I think Ann Coulter is describing, Trump is fine in his own business world, where he has the final say how Capitol is funded & spent - this isn't Trump's world, this is like a CEO with a board of hostile executives... Trump SUCKS without *leverage*.  Trump has no way to "grease the skids" of his agenda - the back-room dealing ended when he took the POTUS position... now it's all public, he's lost his tools-of-the-trade.   Or, maybe I should say, if Trump tries to use the tools-of-the-trade, he'll surely be brought up on Impeachment charges of corruption.

Never Trumpers said Trump would SUCK as a POTUS.  I think Ann Coulter is suggesting, if he can't get his agenda he campaigned on, back on track - they're right, Trump sucks.


The biggest mistake a Trump Presidency could possibly make, IMO, alienate the media people and the brains that got you where you are - "you gotta dance with the one who brought ya!".

If Trump loses Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Steven Bannon, Michael Savage, Laura Ingraham, Alex Jones, and Rush's support starts showing signs of cracks...whoa!   IMO, it's *over* for Donald Trump, and I believe the MSM and Democrats understand the necessity of that relationship is tied to Trump's success.  Unfortunately, for Trump, the people closest to him, his family, is probably giving him terrible advice.   

Glenn Beck is a paranoid conspiracy theorist, IMO.  He'd be perfectly happy with predicting the demise of America - so he  could say, "See!  I told you so!!!"   I personally believe he is so far removed from DC, and alienated himself from the MSM, he's full of BS & makes Alex Jones sound *reasonable*... well, sort of.   I've never given much thought to those who lick their finger, stick it up in the air, and run with whatever direction the political winds are blowing.

At least Steven Bannon has/had a plan that sounded pretty darn good to enough Americans to elect a POTUS.
If it takes the likes of Coulter, Jones, Rush, Hannity & Ingraham to publicize the agenda - then *WHY* would Trump shot himself in the foot?   I think Ann Coulter might be lamenting Trump's decision making as well as the rest of us...
