Schlichter: Obnoxious and Important Questions I Would Ask At The GOP Debate

"On behalf of all infuriated conservatives, I demand the right to interrogate the candidates myself. I get to ask a question and a follow-up, and here are the rules. First, answer the damn question. It insults me when you think I’ll somehow forget what I asked, so bewitching is your oratory. Second, answer, then stop talking. If you use more words than the Gettysburg Address (272) you are so, so very wrong. Third, no clichés. If you use the phrase “for the children,” I get to slap you."

Here goes:

Jeb! Bush:

You support amnesty and Common Core, you won’t undo the Iran sellout of Israel on your first day in office and – as we always expected – you’ve come outin support of more gun control. Since you have adopted Hillary’s platform, why are you running as a Republican?

Why are you so damn special that despite there being 320 million other Americans, we can’t do any better than a third Bush?

Dr. Ben Carson:

You’re proud of not being a politician, but what makes you think D.C.’s establishment won’t chew you up and spit you out?

You’re a guy with tremendous accomplishments, morals, and character. Why do you even want to go to Washington?

Jim Gilmore:

Can you name one person you aren’t related to who wants you to be president?

In fact, are you even supposed to be here on stage tonight?

Chris Christie:

Let’s deal with the elephant in the room – what the hell were you thinking snuggling up to Obama?

Other than talking incessantly about killing terrorists – which is cool – in what way are you even remotely a conservative?

Carly Fiorina:

You’re the only female running in the GOP primaries. Would you even be on this stage if you were a dude?

You were a senior officer in a huge corporation that did a lot of government work. Why should we conservatives believe you won’t be just another crony capitalist shafting us and stealing our money for the benefit of your corporate pals?

Lindsey Graham:

Conservatives detest you, and the feeling is mutual. Are you in this as some sort of establishment stalking horse to make sure a real conservative doesn’t derail Jeb! by snagging South Carolina’s delegates?

Anything else interesting that you’d like to tell us tonight?

John Kasich:

You decided to go along with Obamacare in Ohio. Why, as a conservative would I ever support you in the primary over someone committed to the destruction of that socialist atrocity?

Like many, even most, conservatives, I think you’re a smug, sanctimonious jerk who hides his self-righteousness behind a vague, unfocused aura of pseudo-Christian progressivism. Why should I allow you to spend four to eight years in my face telling me how I don’t measure up to your allegedly Jesus-inspired standards?

George Pataki:

Since I really have no idea why you’re running, let me just ask you this: Who’s more badass, Captain Kirk or Picard?

Marco Rubio:

My family is half Cuban, and we loved you and your life story until you lied to us about amnesty – no, that’s not an invitation for you to try to convince us how your past embrace of amnesty was not really an embrace of amnesty. You lied to me once – why should I ever believe anything you ever say again?

Here’s your chance to be clear – do you agree with me and most conservatives that America has zero moral obligation to illegal aliens, that they should receive no government benefits, and that they should leave our country?

Ted Cruz:

I think you are a genius lawyer and a true conservative, but you are off-putting to people who aren’t movement conservatives and I fear your candidacy would be Goldwater II: The Revenge. Do the math for me – how can you possibly win 270 electoral votes?

Wouldn’t you better serve conservatism as Chief Justice Ted Cruz?

Rand Paul:

Like your father, I can listen to you for a couple minutes, find myself nodding in agreement, and then BAM! you say something nutty, usually about foreign policy. How can I be sure you will do the most important thing a president must do – relentlessly and ruthlessly kill America’s enemies?

Chemtrails. Are they a thing?

Scott Walker:

The idea behind your campaign seemed to be that you’re a normal guy who would return us to normalcy, but we conservatives don’t want normalcy anymore. We want vengeance. Will you commit to ruthlessly annihilating liberalism wherever you find it?

More specifically, will you commit to destroying all federal government employee unions?

Mike Huckabee:

You combine a love of big government with a kind of religious paternalism that evokes an unholy love child of LBJ and Elmer Gantry. Can you sketch me out a scenario where you win the general election that doesn’t involve someone releasing tapes of Hillary gleefully vivisecting corgi puppies?

You play bass. Really, is that a president’s instrument?

Bobby Jindal:

As an Asian-American, can the GOP win over that growing minority group by addressing the systemic racism they face because of Democrat-dominated universities’ admissions policies?

I think you’d be a good president, but I don’t think you can win. Shouldn’t you agree to come on board with someone up here on stage who might win and agree to be his/her HHS secretary?

Rick Santorum:

You lost your Senate seat in Pennsylvania back in 2006, meaning you have failed in every election campaign since 2000. Why is this time different?

My country is falling apart and, like most conservatives, that’s my No. 1 priority. Why should I vote for you and re-fight the gay marriage battle that we’ve already decisively lost instead of saving our Constitution from these leftist creeps?

Donald Trump:

Yeah, it’s been a lot of fun watching you make the GOP establishment wince by raising subjects like illegal alien thugs that the elite wants hushed up. We’ve had some laughs. But if you are elected president, you will be the commander-in-chief. This is a no gotcha question – I led soldiers for 27 years, so this is personal to me and to millions of conservatives whose sons, daughters, mothers, and fathers serve. Can you give me one good reason why you are worthy of our trust to lead and to safeguard the lives of the incredible men and women of our armed forces?

Nothing Succeeds Like Liberal Secession:

Blue America Without Red America Would Be a Basket Case.

Kurt Schlichter @ Town Hall.

Schlichter writes about his political fantasies to provoke. Again.

Using Michael Tomasky butthurt outburst about southern states all falling to Republican leadership as premise, this outburst:

Practically the whole region has rejected nearly everything that’s good about this country and has become just one big nuclear waste site of choleric, and extremely racialized, resentment. A fact made even sadder because on the whole they’re such nice people! (I truly mean that.)

Schlichter visualizes what it would be like if Blue States under a president De Blasio actually would succeed from red states led by a president Abbott. What an imagination. What a character. What a provocateur. What a tremendously amusing person.

Obama shafts Hillary with amnesty and Ferguson

Kurt Schlichter writes that one great thing that Obama achieves by inviting million of immigrants to enter the country illegally and ginning up race resentments is keeping Hillary Clinton from ever occupying the Oval Office.

Schlichter proposes both  executive amnesty and Ferguson outrage have nothing to do with race, that Obama and his gang are Marxists, classists. And they are not the traditional Democrat coalition. It is a class coalition base made of rich and academic upper class whites, unionized sub-class, and lower class welfare recipients. When they won they had just enough, but now the other middle class workers are abandoning the Party and they are the people Hillary needs.

If you are a regular middle class worker, Obama's coalition does not want you, regarding you greedy and racist for your unwillingness to hand over your tax money to deadbeats, leaving you one reasonable political option, the GOP. 

Amnesty is about creating a permanently poor underclass to be mined for votes.  Ferguson is about keeping core constituents angry simultaneously distracting them from millions of job-competitors. If sacrificing one middle class flatfoot, then so be it.

While all this is fine for firming his coalition, Schlichter says, it is a mess for Hillary Clinton. 

Hillary was supposed to do what Bill did and bring back blue collar Democrats, people like  Officer Wilson but Obama doesn't need them nor want them. He's hung executive amnesty on Hillary.

Schlichter sees Hillary with two chief problems with mutually exclusive solutions: 1) Keeping Obama coalition's support. 2) Expanding the coalition to include middle class workers. The first she can undo but it won't help, and images of burning businesses won't either.

Hillary is already making moves to escape the trap Obama set. Chuck Schumer's confession that Obamacare was the wrong thing to do indicates this. 

She must navigate the tightest of tightropes [mixed metaphor alert] by not alienating the base and that will be hard to do without Obama making it harder.

Schlichter says Hillary is not up to the task, that she is not that skilled a politician. He reminds readers she flunked D.C. bar. A few months ago Hillary appeared inevitable, but that was before considering the full extent of incompetence, narcissism and vindictiveness of Obama, perhaps preventing Hillary will be his greatest and only legacy.

Schlichter says a lot more and much more floridly here on Town Hall. The accompanying video says nothing but both Clintons campaign a lot for other candidates.

Watch Carlson Tucker laugh.

Kurt Schlichter is author of several books. His Amazon page here.

Schlichter's latest book, Conservative Insurgency, available on Amazon here. $8.00 Kindle version.

I must say, I enjoyed this book tremendously. In novel form, set thirty years in the future, structured as a series of interviews of characters that appear here and there under various chapter headings. Here are a  few to give you an idea:

2) Guerilla Politics
5) Lawfare
7) Safe Haven of the States
10) Breaking and Remaking of the Law
11) Target Academia
14) How Hollywood went Conservative
15) Victory

So, in conversational style, Schlichter describes how the Tea Party infiltrated and took over the Republican Party and how the conservative takeover involved more than just politics, how culture was wrested from the progressive stranglehold and power returned to states from a vastly diminished centralized government, how the hopes and dreams of progressive operatives were smashed by a process of changing minds, along with the failure of big government.
