    Ann Coulter: How the Establishment Will Try to Destroy Trump


    The first President Bush not only promised not to raise taxes, but also laid out the steps Democrats would take to get him to break that promise. “And the Congress will push me to raise taxes,” he said in his iconic 1988 convention speech, “and I’ll say no, and they’ll push, and I’ll say no, and they’ll push again, and I’ll say to them, ‘Read my lips: No new taxes.’”

    He was a good prognosticator! Congress did exactly as he’d anticipated. But instead of saying “no,” Bush caved.

    That betrayal cost the GOP its most popular issue. As the Times’ Michael Wines put it (shortly before Bush predictably lost his re-election bid), with the president’s sellout, Republicans gave up “a political weapon so fearsome that it had destroyed three Democratic presidential candidates in 12 years.”



    What promise do you think they want Trump to break?

    Immigration

    "On immigration, Trump will be furiously opposed by: Democrats, Republicans, the permanent bureaucracy, the Chamber of Commerce, George Soros, The Wall Street Journal — in fact, the entire media, except four webpages, six bloggers and five talk-radio hosts — and hundreds of taxpayer-funded immigrant grievance groups. And that’s just off the top of my head."

    So far, Trump is skating a thin line on whether or not he IS the establishment.

    In some ways he is. In others , he's as anti establishment as he can possibly get. One of them is immigration.

    It remains to be seen whether or not he will stand firm with the full weight of the establishment aligned against him.

    I agree with Ann Coulter. They will go after him on immigration. If he folds, like GHW Bush, he will definitely be a one term president.

    I mean he has filled his own cabinet with the establishment so I doubt it.

    All the establishment has to do is sit back and watch him destroy himself.

    Lol, "sit back", they're gonna have to make some big changes considering how energetic this guy is. Let them "sit back" while Trump runs circles around them, exposes their incompetence and their shady politics, and continues to gain in popularity.

    Lol, and he ain't even in office yet.
