President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Jennifer Rubin, like Dave Weigel before her, is a fake republican/conservative.

Her concern for the fate of the Republican party does not concern me.

 

Was probably a liberal who wrote that.

 

LOL.

"LOCKSTEP, PEOPLE!!!"

 

It's not that she's out of lockstep. It's that she's not really a conservative:

Rubin's archive doesn't contain commentary on the Iraq war in real-time. It doesn't go back far enough. When Chandrasekaran was reporting from Baghdad and Najaf, Jennifer Rubin was working in West L.A. as an attorney for Dreamworks. She started writing and blogging only after her move to Virginia in 2005.

This also appears to have been the year she became a Republican. Steve Hulett, who says he knew Rubin well from 2000 to 2005 when he was president of the Animation Guild, a labor union representing animation and visual effects artists, says her politics were those of a mainstream California Democrat right through the 2004 election. "She talked like a straight-ahead Hollywood liberal," Hulett told Media Matters. "We used to chew the fat all the time in her office and over at lunch at Café del Sol near Dreamworks. She supported Kerry in 2004 and worked closely with [Jeffrey] Katzenberg, who is a big time Democratic donor. I didn't know what to think when she moved east and started blogging like mad as a conservative. I don't know if it's a marketing pose, or if she really believes it, or what. But it is odd."

The Wash. Post's Jennifer Rubin Divide And The Iraq War

She's ruined whatever credibility she may have had by insisting on opposing any Trump policy, even when she previously agreed with the policy:

She's a joke. I don't know any conservative who looks to hr for incite.

She's the Washington Post's idea of a conservative, and she's perfect for them, as she beats up on Republicans, while pretending to be one.

 

Works for me, thanks.

 

They get all their incite from Trump, right?

 

Of course not. Trump isn't a conservative.

I'm just telling you that conservatives don't look to Jennifer Rubin -- or Kathleen Parker, or David Brooks -- for ideas.

 

What we need to fix this is a trillion dollar tax cut.
