Richard Fernandez (Belmont Club at the PJ Media blogsite)
has a good analysis of the GOP official website statement about Sen. Tim Kaine,
Hillary’s pick for Vice President. Fernandez call it a “stunningly awful”
statement, an almost GOP-lite endorsement of Kaine:
A
Career Spent Taking Cautious Positions
Anathema To The Party's Liberal Base
. . . It is as if Reince
told the interns to "Come up with something that makes Kaine as likable as
possible to our people."
For Tea Party readers who have been following
Sundance’s blogs at Conservative Treehouse over the past couple of years, the
mushy GOP website statement on Kaine comes as no surprise. The GOP
establishment, and party chairman Reince Priebus, are reluctant, at best, to
support Trump’s candidacy. At worst, some of the GOPe are downright hostile to
the Trump candidacy, as seen in the “Never Trump” delegates from Iowa and
Colorado who marched out of the Republican National Convention in a huff.
For Tea Party people who have not heard of the
terms “Uniparty” or “Splitter Strategy,” nor followed Sundance’s “Tripwire”
predictions based on his “Uniparty” analyses, today’s blog on Conservative
Treehouse here gives a handy summary. At the bottom of the article, you’ll find
links to Sundance’s previous blog posts that outlined the “Uniparty” theory,
linked to the new GOP primary rules state-by-state to define the “Splitter
Strategy,” and then calculated the Tripwires or predictions that give credence
to the Uniparty theory. It was the accuracy of the many predictions – in sequence
– that persuaded many readers to change their minds about what was unfolding.
Not politics as usual. (Maybe readers will want to bookmark the page to go
through all the posts linked at the bottom, as time permits.)
Once readers recognized what the “Uniparty” was,
the behavior of the political class, the donor class, and the media became more comprehensible,
albeit more reprehensible. Scrolling through the reader comments at Treehouse
can be helpful and even reassuring; it’s a bit unnerving when we find ourselves
in such uncharted waters.
