Trump on Boehner resignation: 'It's a good thing'

By Jonathan Easley

 

Donald Trump said Friday it was time for Speaker John Boehner to go because he didn’t fight hard enough for conservative principles.

Mobbed by reporters outside the main ballroom at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington ahead of his speech to the Values Voters Summit, the front-runner for the 2016 GOP nomination said Boehner’s announced resignation was “a good thing.”

“I think it’s time, it’s a good thing,” Trump said. “Someone else will come in and maybe they’ll have a tougher attitude.”

Asked by The Hill if Boehner fought sufficiently for conservative principles, Trump responded: “No, he didn’t. Not enough.”

"I don't think he's a conservative," the celebrity real estate tycoon said of Boehner.

“I think it’s time for him [to move on] and the party and everybody,” Trump added.

Asked whether he had preference for Boehner's replacement, Trump said he did not but that he believes there are some good contenders.

Boehner has become a punching bag for Republicans at the conservative Values Voters Summit. Many of the attendees learned of the news for the first time from Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, another presidenital hopeful, who was one of the first speakers of the day. The ballroom erupted in a standing ovation at the announcement.

REVEALED: Conservatives Foiled Likely Boehner Plan To Annoint Eric Cantor As Next House Speaker

Grassroots voters in 2014 apparently foiled a secret plan by House Speaker

Rep. John Boehner (R-OH)

35%

to give his top job to the party’s House Majority Leader, Rep. Eric Cantor, who is a close ally of the GOP’s establishment wing.

The plan suddenly collapsed last June after Cantor’s constituents in Virginia’s 7th district rejected him in favor of his primary challenger, economics professor

Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA)

100%

. Brat won by blasting Cantor for mimicking Senator

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)

80%

’s effort to pass the mass-amnesty bill that would further raise high immigration levels.

“The Speaker’s plan was to serve only through the end of last year. Leader Cantor’s loss in his primary changed that calculation,” said a Boehner aide, according to The Huffington Post. 

The Huffington Post explains that had Cantor not lost his primary, Boehner would have stepped aside to allow Cantor to fill his place:

“Cantor’s 2014 primary loss was not just a remarkable political turn of events, but a complete twist of history. The Virginia Republican, who had served as second in command in the Republican-controlled House, was stunned in his primary election campaign and decided to leave Congress altogether before his term was up. With no heir apparent, Boehner decided to stick around. But the clear implication from Boehner’s aide was that the original plan had been to usher Cantor into the speaker’s role at the turn of the year.”

That’s not a on-the-record, direct confirmation of the plot — but it matches the public evidence.

Eric Cantor worked tirelessly to pass Marco Rubio’s immigration plan in the House, and was responsible for co-authoring the House Republican migration principles released last year. Brat slammed Cantor relentlessly for his support of Rubio’s unpopular plan to grant amnesty illegal alien minors. Immigration enforcement experts have explained that such a policy would “extend birthright citizenship in the future to include the foreign citizens of other countries” and represents a promise of “perpetual amnesty.”

Indeed, government reports have documented the ‘DREAM’ amnesty agenda promoted by Rubio and Barack Obama played a substantial role in sparking the surge of 100,000 Latin American youths across the southern border since 2011.

Brat also slammed Cantor for being beholden to the Chamber of Commerce and Silicon Valley billionaires who backed the Rubio-Schumer immigration plan.

We are going to have to foil a few more plans to get good one in there that is for sure.

The Democrats would have loved to have had Cantor. What RINO!

Jindal questions Trump's Christian faith

By Jonathan Swan

 

Greg Nash

Ben Carson once gently questioned Donald Trump's Christian faith, but on Friday Bobby Jindal went much further.

The Louisiana governor explicitly and repeatedly ridiculed Trump's faith, effectively accusing him of faking his Christianity before an evangelical conference that had heard the GOP frontrunner speak only hours earlier.

 

Jindal, who is lagging at 0.3 percent in the national polls for the Republican presidential nominee, came onto the stage at the Values Voter Summit in Washington holding a book. 

 

Jindal joked with the audience, saying that Trump -- who on Friday morning held up what he said was his childhood Bible before that same audience -- had left his Bible behind. The punchline: Jindal raised the book for the cameras. It was Trump's bestseller "The Art of the Deal." 

 

"[Trump] said that his favorite book was the Bible," Jindal said, later in the speech. "He couldn't name one verse."

 

"Folks, he hasn't read the Bible. You know he hasn't read the Bible because his name's not in the Bible."

 

Many in the audience of more than 1,000 evangelicals laughed and clapped.

 

Jindal received even louder cheers when he described Trump as a "narcissist" who might appeal as an entertainer but would be dangerous as a leader.

 

"We conservatives have a choice," Jindal said. "Are we going to turn to our conservative principles... or are we going to turn to a man who believes in nothing but himself."

I think Jingle is trying for attention I almost forgot he was in the race.

And what if Jindal is correct about Trump?

Jindal calls for McConnell to resign

By Bradford Richardson

 

Greg Nash

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) is calling for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to follow the example of Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and step down.

“Here’s what I say in response to Speaker Boehner stepping down: Mitch McConnell, it is now your turn," Jindal, who is running for president, said on Friday at the Values Voter Summit, an event for social conservatives.

“If Sen. McConnell is not willing to fight for our conservative principles, he needs to follow John Boehner’s example,” Jindal said.

The GOP presidential hopeful also demanded both Boehner and McConnell “surrender their gavels."

He additionally called for the entire House of Representatives to be ousted.

“That’s one down, that’s 434 more to go,” Jindal said. “Folks, it is time to fire everybody in D.C.”

Boehner unexpectedly announced Friday morning that he would resign from Congress at the end of October.

Jindal has previously attacked congressional Republicans over their inability to defund Planned Parenthood, saying at the second GOP presidential debate that “it is time to be done with the Republican Party.”

Poll: Majority of Likely Voters Would Not Support a Muslim for President

A Rasmussen poll released September 24 shows that a majority of likely U.S. voters would not support a Muslim for President of the United States.

This poll was conducted September 22 and 23–just days after Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson drew a media backlash by stating that he did not believe a Muslim should be president.

It now appears the majority of likely U.S. voters agree with this position.

According to Rasmussen, 51 percent of likely U.S. voters would not vote for a Muslim for president. And only 28 percent said they would support a Muslim running for the nation’s highest office.

Moreover, 52 percent of likely U.S. voters said their friends and family members would not vote for a Muslim for president. At the same time, likely U.S. voters made clear that the issue is religion rather than race. Seventy-eight percent of likely U.S. voters said they would vote for a black candidate.

On September 20 The Hill reported that Carson told Meet The Press, “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that.”

The next day Rush Limbaugh said:

If you look into Sharia law, you will not find any consistency with the US Constitution.  Sharia law is the law which is used to behead women in Islamic countries who have been raped.  Sharia law is the reason women in Islamic countries can’t drive.  Sharia law is so inconsistent with the US Constitution Ben Carson could not be more right.  And the question he was asked was in that context.  ‘Well, do you believe that Islam is consistent with the Constitution?’  Well, Sharia law isn’t.

No Duh!!! The majority of us are not crazy!

[marrand]

Carson was correct in what he said. The liberals are vilifying every Republican, every single one, but it was harder for them with a very honest man like Carson. So, they they pick on a point their left wing likes, but the population doesn't. I hope he will not back down.

Donald Trump Slams ‘Clown’ Rubio At Values Voter Summit

Jose Luis Magana, AP

by Julia Hahn25 Sep 2015Washington D.C.24

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump slammed

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)

80%

as a “clown” during his address at today’s Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C.

At Trump’s mention of Rubio, the audience immediately started booing and then fell into a hushed silence as Trump recounted Rubio’s involvement in the amnesty effort.

“You have this clown Marco Rubio,” Trump said, “He was in favor of immigration… It was the Gang of Eight. You remember the Gang of Eight. It was terrible,” Trump said.

Trump said Rubio continues to support all of the same immigration expansionist policies laid out in amnesty bill he co-authored with Chuck Schumer.

“All of a sudden he goes down in the polls and all of a sudden he starts changing his tone. But you never really change your tone,” Trump warned.

Indeed, Marco Rubio continues to support increasing immigration levels. His devotion to expanding immigration can be seen throughout his lifelong career as a politician.

During his time in Florida politics, Rubio helped block immigration enforcement legislation, helping make Miami one of the biggest sanctuary cities in the country.

In 2012, Rubio worked on his own version of a DREAM amnesty bill, which would extend birthright citizenship to foreign youths illegally residing in the country.

In 2013, Rubio co-authored and ushered through the Senate an immigration bill—praised by La Raza, President Obama and the Chamber of Commerce— that would have admitted 33 million new immigrants in the course of a single decade.

In 2015, Rubio introduced a bill that would essentially lift the university green card caps and triple the number of guest workers admitted on H-1B visas to replace American workers at lower costs.

And just this month, Rubio announced his support for importing even more Muslim refugees into the country, whom experts say we will not be able to be vetted.

Trump also criticized Rubio for having missed the most votes of any lawmaker in the Senate.

“When you’re elected Senator, you have to go and vote. It’s so important. You can’t say ‘I can’t vote.’ [Rubio’s] got the worst [voting] record.”

At the second Republican presidential debate Rubio explained that the reason he’s missing so many votes is because he wants to be president. He is, after all, unable to implement all of the reforms he wants from his seat the Senate.

“I’m missing votes… because I am leaving the Senate, I’m not running for re-election, and I’m running for president because I know this: unless we have the right president, we cannot make America fulfill its potential.”

Rubio later elaborated on this point in an interview with Fox News, “The idea that you would win the Senate, control the agenda never was true,” he said. “You need a president. It’s one of the main reasons why I decided to run for President.”

Indeed, even though Rubio was able to pass his and Obama’s immigration plan through the Senate, the bill went down in flames as a result of mass public opposition. From the Oval Office, Rubio would have a much greater vantage point to enact the expansions in foreign worker admissions, which big businesses and his corporatist donors desperately want to lower wages and reduce their cost of labor.

However, while Rubio has been busy campaigning, and fundraising with Silicon Valley billionaires, there was one vote he made sure not to miss: Senator Rubio cast the 60th and deciding vote for Trade Promote Authority (TPA). The TPA would cede Congress’s power to negotiate trade deals to President Obama in order to grease the speedy passage of globalist trade pacts favored by big business special interest groups and corporatist donors.
