Blame Sandoval for
the Trump Revolt and Rebellion

The
political colossus that is Donald Trump thundered through the Nevada caucus and
crushed his rivals by his biggest margins yet.
As such, the GOP establishment has moved from stunned shock to utter
terror. How did this happen?
Blame
Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval.
Well,
OK, not just Sandoval. Sandoval-like
Republicans. In Nevada. In Congress. Donald Trump is a nightmare of their own
making.
Hearken
back to the summer of 2009. Sandoval challenged
conservative then-Gov. Jim Gibbons in the GOP primary. And he ran to the right of
Gibbons, sounding
like the second coming of Ronald Reagan.
But
once in office…
Sandoval
proceeded to embrace ObamaCare, expand Medicaid, give drivers licenses to
illegal aliens, engorge government spending and shove the largest tax hike in
the state’s history down our throats.
Oh,
and he shafted Nevadans with the full aid and comfort of a Republican-majority
state Legislature whose GOP members also ran under false advertising as
hard-core fiscal conservatives.
Now
those same fork-tongued, two-faced politicians are campaigning for re-election
by falsely claiming they didn’t do what they did! They’re tinkling on our leg and telling us it’s
raining.
But
the jig is up. Voters, especially
conservatives, ain’t buying the snake oil any longer. Indeed, no one believes anything ANY
politician says. Call it the Sandoval Syndrome.
Trump’s
GOP opponents - with the notable exception of Ben Carson - are tools of the
dirty tricks Political Consultant Complex that’s sold us double-talking, bait-and-switch,
say-anything-to-get-elected politicians like Brian Sandoval for years.
The
fact is politicians like John Kasich, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have pretty solid conservative
voting records. Yet a lot of
conservatives just don’t care. They’ve
been burned too many times by the Sandovals of the world. They’re sick and tired of broken campaign
promises.
For
example, Republican politicians in Congress have been promising to “build a
wall” for over decade now. Yet…no wall. So when any of them now say they’re gonna “build
a wall,” no one believes them. Because
they’ve always backed down.
Trump,
on the other hand, has proven he won’t back down. To anyone.
Not the GOP establishment. Not
the media. Not the race-baiters. Not the professional victimologists. Not the speech police. Not even the Pope!
Of
course, once in office Trump could prove to be a YUUGE disappointment – much like
how tough-talking Arnold Schwarzenegger turned into a “girlie man” after being
elected governor of California. But
thanks to Republicans like Brian Sandoval, GOP voters this year are inclined to
roll the dice, even at the risk of crapping out.
Because
after 28 straight years of broken “read my lips” promises from Sandoval Republicans,
GOP voters are willing to take a riverboat gamble on making America great again
with the only guy they believe can actually pull it off.
Bring
on Hillary!
