Sisters On The Stump For Trump

Filed under: General — Dana @ 9:39 am



[guest post by Dana]

Whether you are dismayed to see Donald Trump still leading the GOP pack or find him growing on you, I think we can all agree that the enthusiasm of these two self-proclaimed Democrats and sisters, who are “on the stump for Trump”, is inspiring. While they may not be deep into the “nuts and bolts” of politics and policy, they are expressing the frustrations that everyday Americans seem to be feeling these days. And not just Trump supporters.

Here is Dana Loesch interviewing the sisters:

The sisters addressing the Black Lives Matter group:

And lastly, a funny video where the sisters mock Hillary and those missing emails:

  1. Hello.

  2. I think they are as cute as they can be. I was wondering when the blacks would wake up about the illegals.

  3. Because I mentioned that it was good Fiorina jumped 3 points last week and was subsequently accused of endorsing her for president with that observation, I am pre-emptively making it clear that I am not endorsing Trump for president with this post. Because silly people in the Twittersphere.

  4. Don’t fear the Donald.

  5. And when Trump is the GOP nominee, they’ll be voting for Hillary right alongside me. Just kidding. I’ll write in Mickey Mouse.

  7. This piece was written by a former commentator on KABC radio (a black guy, btw), who back in November 2008 was one of 3 panelists — the second was a quasi-libertarian conservative, the third was a gay Republican — on a program discussing the election. He was the only one of the three who thought electing Obama to the presidency was a big mistake.

    Townhall.com, Larry Elder, July 23, 2015:

    By every key economic measurement, blacks are worse off under Obama. In some cases, far worse off.

    What about poverty? In 2009, when Obama took office, the black poverty rate was 25.8 percent. As of 2014, according to Pew Research Center, the black poverty rate was 27.2 percent.

    What about income? CNNMoney says, “Minority households’ median income fell 9 percent between 2010 and 2013, compared to a drop of only 1 percent for whites.” The Financial Times wrote last October: “Since 2009, median non-white household income has dropped by almost a 10th to $33,000 a year, according to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s survey of consumer finances. As a whole, median incomes fell by 5 percent…”

    What about net worth and the black-white “wealth gap”? The Financial Times said: “The median non-white family today has a net worth of just $18,100 — almost a fifth lower than it was when Mr. Obama took office. White median wealth, on the other hand, has inched up by 1 percent to $142,000. In 2009, white households were seven times richer than their black counterparts. That gap is now eightfold. Both in relative and absolute terms, blacks are doing worse under Mr. Obama.” Remember, these numbers apply to all “non-whites.” For blacks, it’s worse.

    When looking only at “black net worth” — which is lower compared to non-whites as a whole — white households are actually 13 times wealthier than black households. From 2010 to 2013, according to the Federal Reserve, white household median wealth increased a modest 2.4 percent, while Hispanic families’ wealth declined 14 percent, to $13,700. But blacks’ net worth fell from $16,600 to $11,000. This is an astonishing three-year drop of 34 percent.

    What about unemployment? In 2009, black unemployment was 12.7 percent, and by 2014, it had fallen to 10.1 percent. This sounds like good news until one examines the black labor force participation rate — the percentage of blacks working or seeking work. It’s the lowest since these numbers have been recorded.

    In a report for the Center for Economic and Policy Research, economist Dean Baker writes, “The drop in labor force participation was sharpest for African Americans, who saw a decline of 0.3 percentage points to 60.2 percent, the lowest rate since December of 1977. The rate for African American men fell 0.7 percentage points to 65.6 percent, the lowest on record.

    What about home ownership? According to Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, the picture is ugly: “…Homeownership rates have fallen six percentage points among black households — double that among white households… More than 25 percent of mortgage homeowners in both high-poverty and minority neighborhoods were underwater — owing more than their homes are now worth — in 2013. This rate is nearly twice the shares in either white or low-poverty neighborhoods.”

    ^ Ultimately, I don’t think harsh reality will ever really matter to far too many people throughout not just black America, but of all races, nationalities and ethnicities that are chronically, blindly of the left or loyal to the left, or fall for the idea that compassion (and cheap promises thereof) can never be too cheap, cynical, fake or idiotic.

    Good morning, Venezuela!

  8. he’s trash

    happyfeet, you said yesterday that Hillary is less trashy.

    Your opinion will never be trusted again by me—and I’m not even necessarily dealing with your take on SSM and abortion.

    Mark (e187ae)

  9. Gosh, they’re fat. It would take ten of them to do the work of one Mexican and they’d eat twenty times as much.

    nk (dbc370)

  10. happyfeet, are you totally, utterly, and completely crushed, devastated and hurt that Mark no longer trusts your opinion?

    nk (dbc370)

  11. yes yes Mr. Mark I go back and forth on who is more trashy

    some days it’s hillary and some days it’s trump

    today it’s for sure Mr. Trump cause of he’s acting like he thinks he’s Billy Graham

    Hillary picks way less trashy role models for example Eleanor (sp?) Roosevelt (sp?)

    happyfeet (831175)

  12. Mr. nk it *does* hurt

    i have to fight through the pain though

    i have to hold on

    this sad sad period failmerica’s going through?

    the Hillary/Trump White Trash Interregnum?

    this pitiful lil country’s gonna need faithful and stalwartly conservative pikachus once it wakes up in the gutter and realizes it needs halps

    so I

    hold

    on

    happyfeet (831175)

  13. Yea, that post of mine did come off as dorky, sort of a cross between “I’m shocked, shocked, to find that there’s gambling going on here!” and “I’m strong ‘cuz I just beat your 85-year-old grandmother in arm wrestling!”

    Mark (e187ae)

  14. think no more of it

    happyfeet (831175)

  15. Hillary picks way less trashy role models for example Eleanor (sp?) Roosevelt (sp?)

    Do bisexual leftwing women kind of sooth your consciousness, happyfeet?

    Mark (e187ae)

  16. *soothe*

    happyfeet (831175)

  17. Gosh, they’re fat.

    And big-butt Michelle hasn’t even really helped fight the good battle during the past 8 years.

    She could have crusaded against sugar in particular, used the bully pulpit of the First Lady to highlight how the food industry has loaded up just about everything with sugar/carbs. She could have implemented a “just say no” campaign to encourage food manufacturers and restaurants to reduce sugar.

    Instead we continue to get the nonsense of “low fat!” or “reduced fat!!” or “fat free!” — or, equally bad, making fake sugar sound like a better alternative — and very little along the lines of “reduced sugar!”

    Mark (e187ae)

  18. If they did one-tenth the work a Mexican does, they could eat all the sugar they want and look like gazelles. Think of a job a Mexican does. Can you picture either of these ladies doing it for a full day?

    nk (dbc370)

  19. If your paid enough you will film anything.

    mg (31009b)

  20. nonono

    the ludicrously inept failmerican federal government should NOT have a role in cajoling the “food industry” to use less of failmerica’s supply of heavily-subsidized ridiculously-expensive sugar

    what is only produced because of extraordinary protectionist measures

    protectionist measures that are necessary cause failmerican sugar producers can’t compete globally

    because they’re the for reals problematic fat-asses in this situation

    happyfeet (831175)

  21. I’m not going to take Trump seriously until some airheaded young hottie puts on a tight T-shirt and records a song about him.

    JVW (ba78f9)

  22. They’re shills for Hillary!. Suddenly in a month they will change sides because Trump says or does something they’re dissed about. Then he’ll be a racist and a bigot and represent all Republicans because he calls for no more free cheese or reduced section 8. You watch.

    Rev. Barack Hussein Hoagie (f4eb27)

  23. If they did one-tenth the work a Mexican does

    That reminds me of all the people — of all political stripes — who theorize that a hard-working populace, of and by itself, will necessarily result in a wonderful society.

    Most people in nations like Mexico don’t exactly sit around eating bon bons and watching TV all day, yet the poverty, corruption, crime, academic fecklessness and general all-around mediocrity in such places remain fully intact, generation after generation.

    A lot of the laziness-faire and/or big-business Republicans/conservatives — among others — who love and encourage current trends, if only to keep their bank accounts as full as possible, won’t be talking out of both sides of their mouth if they’ll have no trouble eventually ending up in a society similar to what’s south of the US border. That is, where they ultimately won’t have an easy time voting with their feet and the moving van.

    In general, this calls to mind the phrase of: They know the price of everything, the value of nothing.

    Mark, you’re gonna nee to rewrite that sentence in readable English for me. I have no idea what you are trying to convey there.

    Rev. Barack Hussein Hoagie (f4eb27)

  25. Mark, the American haute bourgeoisie are calculating that the situation will devolve into Mussolini-style socialism with the petite bourgeoisie supporting them on top of the oligarchy and providing them with the police and bureaucrats, instead of Soviet-style socialism where both haute and petite bourgeoisie get the chop. I’m hoping my daughter will pursue the hard sciences or medicine for a better chance of surviving either situation.

    nk (dbc370)

  26. I have no idea what you are trying to convey there.

    Hoagie, I’m referring to the Republican counterpart to the “limousine liberal.” Namely, people who milk the system for all its worth, have a great time in the process, but when push comes to shove, hell no, they won’t allow themselves to be trapped in the middle of their Frankenstein’s Monster.

    The plain reality is best symbolized by folks like Michelle and Barack, who talk a good (and easy, and cheap) game of tolerance and anything-goes, but who’d never send their own precious children to schools full of Obama’s sons if he had sons or the academic also-rans and ne’er-do-wells, such as the school rooms full of the “undocumented.”

    And, nk, I know the elite (if not just haute bourgeoisie) somehow do manage to survive and even thrive in societies along the lines of Mexico or Venezuela, although also quite notorious for having to live in walled-off compounds full of high security, while lowering their gaze at the environment all around them outside the high gates of their little world. But what a price to pay, allowing one’s nation to end up a swamp, the type of place that no sane person can be proud of or confident in.

    Mark (e187ae)

  27. The message I take from these amusing videos is that there is a broad cross-section of Americans, who’d self-identify as part of many disparate communities, who are dissatisfied, indeed, revolted, by the current “representatives” of these constituencies in Washington, D.C., including but not limited to Congresscritters.

    But no, I don’t think this means Trump is the answer.

    Trump is the parasite feeding on this phenomenon.

    Beldar (fa637a)

  28. But what a price to pay, allowing one’s nation to end up a swamp, the type of place that no sane person can be proud of or confident in.

    But, but, they’re the dreamers! They just want to come here to work. I’m still waiting for someone to explain to me why we should accept 20 or 30 million Mexicans and South Americans here. How the hell does this country, with 93 million unemployed Americans, need 20 million ex-pat socialists? Send’em back.

    Rev. Barack Hussein Hoagie (f4eb27)

  29. Trump is to the GOP as Perry is to this blog.

    He has found the cracks in the party and he is hammering on them, particularly immigration. The minority wings in the party finally have a guy spreading their message, so they’re enthralled, but the problem is that he’s using them. All he really wants to do is stir up s&it. He will eventually go, once his work is done, leaving the GOP an incoherent and ineffective party instead of one poised to win.

    Kevin M (25bbee)

  30. To blame Trump and his backers for Republican lies and strapping on the knee pads for the chamber of commerce lackeys in recent history is childish.
    Cruz/West / 2016
    not
    lesser of / 2 evils / 2016

    mg (31009b)

  31. What kind of leadership is running the insane asylum, which is the republican party? The republicans have not been poised to win anything since R.R. brought the hostages home.

    mg (31009b)

  32. How would you know mg? You’ve been in a bunker for years.

    Kevin M (25bbee)

  33. The republicans have not been poised to win anything since R.R. brought the hostages home.

    mg (31009b) — 8/22/2015 @ 5:05 pm

    Actually they won 3 Presidential races. You can look it up.

    Gerald A (066391)

  34. Four if you count Ronnie’s re-election.

    Kevin M (25bbee)

  35. From MSNBC’s Joy Reid, who clearly hasn’t watched the Stump for Trump sisters:

    It’s white Republicans. It’s mostly white male Republicans and it’s basically white Americans who feel left out of Obama’s America; who are peeved with the fact that their preferred party can’t seem to beat Obama; and who want to hear a guy be able to stand up and be as politically incorrect as they can’t be. They’d get fired from their jobs if they put on Facebook some of the things Trump said. But here’s a guy who can say what he wants to. Be a man’s man and get out there and be the kind of Ronald Reaganesque kind of America where we what we want, said what we want, pushed the world around, and told them to go to hell if we wanted to.

    Dana (86e864)

  36. All he really wants to do is stir up s&it.

    If Trump is intrinsically, innately and emotionally merely a pro-politically-correct New York liberal putting on a performance for the masses, then you’re correct. How to explain the left-leaning rhetoric that has come out of the mouths of other Republicans similar to Jeb Bush needs a different explanation.
