Ann Coulter says DUMP is Toast

I can't wait for the day when Ann Coulter "is done" with this earthly plane. The sooner, the better.

well she's right on this one

If Trump ran for POTUS today the only people who would vote for him would be his children (and I'm not even sure all of them would) a tiny few of the nitwits in Congress, and some (not all) of his ragtag halfwitted MAGAT followers. And some of them are only on for the ride as long as there's fun to be had.

Anne, could you be any more behind the curve?

Here's a sugar cube and a carrot, Ann, good girl...

Ann Coulter started to shit talk Trump a year or two after his election. I saw her do so TV many times.

Trump's going to insult her by telling her that she looks like a man in a dress. Actually, she does.

Does she still spend her weekends fisting Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen?

Well at least Ann has balls.

Unlike...

"Well at least Ann has balls. "

She has a whole draw full of them and the guys she took them from are not happy

There are 70 million+ people who voted for him less than 14 months ago who would beg to differ with her.

Does Ann know something we dont?

The Trumptanic is sinking, and all his supporters will drown.

But he himself will be fine. He always floats to the top.

Well, he's a loser now, R11 -- none of those dumbfucks will support someone they perceive as a loser.

Remember, nobody's showing up at his current rallies.

What made her turn against Trump? I usually don't keep up with reich-wing pundits, so I'm curious what he did that she found so deplorable. She didn't find him bigoted enough?

She's an early passenger on the Ron DeSantis 2024 campaign bus.

By all appearances DeSantis is sane.

That's an improvement.

[quote]She's an early passenger on the Ron DeSantis 2024 campaign bus.

Yep.

Former Presidents simply can't stay in the public eye like once did. The media coverage of his rally was relatively minimal and clear!y refuted his election and other lies. And if the NY Attorney's and the January 6th Committee turn up prosecutable evidence against him and the family, he will become a liability and even Miss Lindsay will get off her knees and stop worshiping Trump. And a significant percentage of Republican Washington Powers that Be would like nothing better than be done with Trump if they could. They realize how dangerous and imbalanced he is. The election unhinged him.

The truth hurts

Coulter dumbed trump because he was a transparently vulgar, lying, inept, dangerous cunt boy. Coulter is a fierce elitist, almost fascist about intelligence and class. She can't stand stupidity. 2018 article

So now you agree with Ann Coulter??? Did you agree with her 10 years ago?

So fickle, you lot.

I went to Cornell with Coulter. She is a raging blowhard cunt bone, perhaps mentally ill (lifelong anorexia, and histrionic) but not stupid and she is very amusing in her lane.

Say what you want about Ann, she predicted Trump would win the Presidency before he even won the nomination and was laughed for it. She has her hand on the pulse of the Republican party in a way few do.

R21 is apparently mystified by the idea that you can agree with a person on some things (or one thing) and not others.

Ann Coulter has been bashing Trump for some time now. I like how her BFF, our own Jeremy Peters is quoting her in the linked Times article.

Coulter is smarter than Ingraham, no doubt about it. And she has bigger balls.

Yes he is. Why do you think Melania is selling a used hat in Crypto? She is trying to cash in on being a former FLOTUS while she can. That gurl knows better than a rat when to leave a sinking ship.

Yes she's said a lot of similar things the past few years, OP.

Yes. Coulter is smart. Laura Ingraham is Dartmouth party girl trash.

[quote] So now you agree with Ann Coulter??? Did you agree with her 10 years ago? So fickle, you lot.

So very characteristic of the Trump cultist. You should agree with your cult leader even when what he or she said is the direct opposite of what he or she said yesterday.

I know that, R28. I thought this one was worth us gurls discussing.

I love people like r21 who don't seem to understand that many people of different beliefs and backgrounds agree in all sorts of ways.

Why, some people even agree with things HITLER said!!! Not the Holocaust stuff, but more mundane things, like enjoying tea cakes and scones. Doesn't mean that you agree with everything.

ENJOYING YOUR TEA CAKES AND SCONES, I SEE!! YOU KNOW WHO ELSE ENJOYED THOSE? HITLER!!!

There is a great range of education, knowledge, and general culture on DL.

[quot] By all appearances DeSantis is sane.

You must be seeing a different DeSantis than I'm seeing.

Coulter has been one of the few Republicans to hold Trump accountable to his failed wall. Remember the useless gov't shutdown? She may know the big top is coming down on Trump's clown circus.

DeSantis is smart, educated, trained mind, and sane. The question is, how FAR down the deplorable shit hole he will take his rhetoric and politics, to be in power.

So far, the answer seems to be, he will go the dark hot fetid center of the earth, to hold Republican power.

Biden must not sleep well knowing he is failing to slow or stop the complete implosion of GOP integrity.

r24 It is a liberal taboo and one will lose the purity test for not chanting in unison to whatever is spoken from a bullhorn. While it exists on the conservative side, too, it's more in pockets than the mainstream. . . even separate to those voters that make the nightly news as these are people that rarely are invested in local organizations or politics. The various Republican or American Conservative subcategories are centered around the politicians that best represent their core beliefs. You'll still hear of the most prominent group Reaganites but scarsely hear of Jeffersonian Democrats. And even Republicans would put Trumpism in another category, however like the Democrats in their "how do you do fellow kids" appeal to the far left, so too does the Republicans to Trumpism or say the social currency and platform reach of the religious reich of the past.

Of course as the gulfs of polarization widen, the primary parties grow closer in proving horseshoe theory.

r32

R36 uh, he's already fully embraced MAGA, even though he's annoying Trump right now. He is smart and sane, but he is fully out for power and is hiding deaths in Florida so his state doesn't look as bad. He's clearly being set up to run for President again, but he is an awful human who helped along thousands of deaths in his state when he did things like outlaw local mask mandates and other such measures to try to slow the spread of Covid 19.

Also, his state is giving succor to the Trumps. It's the heart of MAGA.

Yes to all that and it's à vomir.

And she has been telling the truth about Trump and his clown circus since the government shutdown fiasco. She knows the big tent is finally going down.

If Trump dropped dead today a lot of seemingly Trump loving republicans would breathe a big sigh of relief.

So far it's just wishful thinking on her part.

r32

R39 clearly thinks Covid is the alpha and omicron of all politics.

Can we see stats that Florida's incidence and death rate from Covid are way out of proportion to its population?

R45 I'm sure you can look into excess deaths yourself.

And yes, you can tell who a man truly is by how he acts in a crisis.

[quote] a whole draw full of them

Oh, dear!

@ R46

But 95% percent of republicans in FEDERAL government cannot act with integrity in times of crisis, nowadays. It's appalling.

I love it when trolls depend on memes. So easy to ignore.

[quote] She has a whole draw full of them and the guys she took them from are not happy

It's a "drawer." As in chest of drawers.

I really don't care if you call me a troll, R50. Or if you block me. I just want to see the receipts.

In other words, a link from a reputable sources that proves your point.

Is that unreasonable?

Trannie Coulter!

I cab stand MAnn

*can't

R54 gurl that's enough wine

She can, apparently, read the writing on the wall. Nonetheless, she is still highly offensive. And The Hill is a conservative rag now. I avoid using it as a source for anything.

I think there are still people who would and will vote for Trump, again. Hillary Clinton has warned about this. No sense to become complacent. Vote! At least in the POTUS elections.

I don't think anyone is counseling complacency, R58.

r3 Wish that was true. You'd be wrong though. We watched polling leads of 10 points or more collapse on election day 2020. And unlike previous polling, a lot of those dem votes were already banked / voted, so there was only 1 side where the turnout was in question. Biden won by less than 100k votes.

The only good thing we've seen in polling is that none of the Republicans who switched to Biden in 2020 would go back to Trump. Those who were done with him are done with him. It's not enough though. He's too good at what he does (for the segment of the population that falls for that shit).

She's long thought he was a loser, an idiot, and a fat slob. But he, alone among Republicans, understood how much the conservative base hates immigration and he took inspiration from one of her books. For that she was willing to support him.

I love Ann so much, and she’s right as always. Everyone I talk to is so over Trump’s grift at this point and ready for DeSantis 2024. Trump is going to be the last to know just how utterly over he is.

She had a meeting with him where she told him he's not fulfilling his campaign promises regarding immigration. It did not end well! I think he kicked her out of the office and then said he barely knows her.

She turned on him ever since.

She's evil but she's consistent on her issues so she gets some points for that I guess.

@r51, Oh, boy, you found a spelling error. How was your first orgasm of 2022?

It must eat DUMP alive that she's calling him a loser. That's what caused him to go completely off the rails after the election.

I wish she was right. But ann coulter is usually wrong

Ann Coulter has a gift for pushing just the right buttons to inflict maximum irritation. She has been a top-tier troll since Donald Trump was little more than a failed casino magnate.

Which makes Ms. Coulter’s recent attacks on the former president — her onetime political idol — at once delectable and illuminating. Take her contrarian assessment of Mr. Trump’s chokehold on the Republican Party.

“No one wants Trump,” she asserted in a column last week. “He’s fading faster than Sarah Palin did — and she was second place on a losing presidential ticket.”

Parsing recent polling data, Ms. Coulter made the case that high approval for Mr. Trump among Republicans is less about his enduring appeal than about the G.O.P. having been boiled down to a Trumpian rump. Increasingly, she contended, “the only people calling themselves ‘Republicans’ these days are the Trump die-hards.”

Ms. Coulter’s anti-Trump bile is not entirely new and carries the bitter fury of a disillusioned believer. While an early and enthusiastic MAGA convert — during the 2016 campaign Ms. Coulter cheekily proclaimed herself ready to die for her candidate and penned a cringey hagiography titled “In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!” — she began souring on his presidency pretty quickly over his failure to make good on his more draconian immigration promises. (Ann really wanted that border wall.)

When Ms. Coulter turns, she does not go gently. Her critiques of Mr. Trump have included calling him “a shallow, lazy ignoramus,” “a complete moron,” “a blithering idiot” and “a lout.” She now considers his entire presidency a flop. “Trump accomplished everything he was ever going to accomplish at 2 a.m.” on election night in 2016, she emailed me last week. “The best thing that could have happened to the Republican Party (and the country) would have been for him to be vaporized at the moment he was announcing his victory. Pence would have been afraid to betray Trump’s supporters. Trump wasn’t!”

Of late, Ms. Coulter has begun poking at Mr. Trump from a very specific angle: comparing him — unfavorably — to Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida.

Mr. DeSantis is a ticklish topic around Trumpworld. The governor rose to power by becoming a mini-Trump, and the former president still considers Mr. DeSantis his creation. But the governor is clearly eyeing the White House in 2024, and, unlike other potential candidates, he has not pledged to sit things out if Mr. Trump runs. Such disloyalty does not sit well with the former president, and there are rumblings of a brewing feud between the two Florida Men. As the water cooler chatter goes: Mr. Trump sees Mr. DeSantis as an ungrateful upstart, while Mr. DeSantis sees Mr. Trump as expecting too much groveling.

Earlier this month, when Mr. Trump called politicians who refuse to reveal their booster status “gutless,” it was seen as a slap at Mr. DeSantis, who has been shifty about his booster situation. A few days later, Mr. DeSantis voiced regret over not aggressively opposing the nationwide lockdown that Mr. Trump ordered early in the pandemic.

Republicans are eager to downplay tensions that risk undermining party unity.

But Ms. Coulter is eager to fan the flames. “Trump is demanding to know Ron DeSantis’s booster status, and I can now reveal it,” she tweeted about the kerfuffle. “He was a loyal booster when Trump ran in 2016, but then he learned our president was a liar and con man whose grift was permanent.”

Ms. Coulter, it seems, has found a shiny new leader with whom to antagonize her former hero. “For months now, Trump’s been playing the aging silent film star Norma Desmond in ‘Sunset Boulevard’ to DeSantis’s younger, prettier Betty Schaefer,” she wrote in her column Wednesday, which closed with this punch to the throat: “Give voters a populist conservative who’s not a con man and a liar and they’ll be ‘Republicans’ again. No wonder Trump hates DeSantis.”

In her email, Ms. Coulter got even more personal. “DeSantis is better than Trump, for many, many reasons, including: He won’t bring Jared and Ivanka into the White House.” She also expressed confidence that Mr. DeSantis can handle Mr. Trump. “He’s mostly just ignoring the 11-year-old. Unlike Trump, DeSantis has a day job.”

Having split with Mr. Trump, Ms. Coulter has an obvious interest in pushing the line that he is a washed-up relic. That said, the gal has a track record for sensing — and exploiting — political vulnerabilities.

She is also just one tiny piece of a bigger predicament the G.O.P. is facing. Every whisper of discord between Mr. Trump and other Republican leaders is going to be devoured — and amplified — by a political class still obsessed with the former president and his influence.

There are plenty of reasons for this. Many Trump critics are panting to see the ex-president’s acolytes and enablers, like Mr. DeSantis, pay a price for snuggling up to him for so long.

Old-school Republicans are hoping that the party’s up-and-comers will start putting some distance between themselves and the chaos of the Trump era, a necessary step toward rescuing the G.O.P. from its MAGA quagmire.

As for the political media, it loves a good fight. And any fight featuring the former president promises to be tacky, unhinged and entertaining.

Going forward, Ms. Coulter won’t be the only force tweaking Mr. Trump and focusing on any hint of friction. As usual, she’ll simply be more shameless about it than most.

R68 I actually think that article is incredibly well-done. So many hit pieces on Ann are done so lazily and make no attempt to correctly characterize her argument. I can relate as someone who is lied about constantly here on DL.

Trump’s fan base is rabid but rapidly dwindling. Everyone I talk to on the right is completely over him (including yours truly.) it’s kind of stunning how quickly his star has fallen.

What's there not to love about an insane, orange, obese old man who tried to overthrow his own government?

It's been clear that the individuals in MAGA world have been trying to lead the sheeple away from Trump and towards DeSantis (or someone else); it makes me wonder if the strategy is to let Trump & Ghouliani (and a couple of expendable congressmen that can easily be replaced with other MAGA-ites) take the full blame for 6 January and move on to another candidate who had nothing to do with that mess. I wouldn't mind if that's their strategy, because Trump & Rudy won't go without a fight and try to destroy every last repig that had a hand in things

As someone who thinks that the Dems best chance in ‘24 will be against Trump as the nominee, I’m beginning to think his hold over the party is already starting to diminish, making him a less likely future standard-bearer for the GQP.

[quote] It's been clear that the individuals in MAGA world have been trying to lead the sheeple away from Trump and towards DeSantis

So the alleged “sheeple” are those of us who *don’t* agree that Big Pharma should be able to inject us with an experimental vaccine that they can’t be sued for with boosters that make them super wealthy every six months? The “sheeple” are those of us who think it makes no sense that you have to wear a mask to enter the restaurant but apparently you become miraculously unable to spread germs once you sit down to eat? The “sheeple” are those of us who *don’t* think the tranny swimmer is stunning and brave?

Interesting take.

I had to read the post from R69 a few times. I thought Ann Coulter was playing Norma Desmond.

I'm still HUGE.

It's the world that got small.

One day, r74 won’t post, and we’ll think it’s because Muriel got wise to him, but that won’t be it.
