CNN’s Navarro: Trump is ‘driving drunk into a big beautiful brick wall’ with his ‘disgusting’ campaign

Conservative consultant and CNN contributor Ana Navarro — who has been highly critical of GOP presidential nominee for weeks for his reckless rhetoric — has turned her fire of Trump’s advocates saying the candidate has turned into a drunk driver and none of his people are willing to take away the keys and save his campaign.

Appearing on Anderson Cooper 360, Navarro began by pointing out that there are few days left before the elections and that Trump has become” unhinged.”

‘What I can tell you based on the last week, Donald Trump has become unhinged, completely unglued and plans to take us way down the drain into the gutter in the next month and a week,” she began. “I think it is shameful. I think it is disgusting, and I think his surrogates are adding fuel to the fire, finding ways of defending these allegations and these charges and these totally made up things he’s coming up with, and need to put a stop to it.”

“When you see somebody you love, when you see somebody you care for driving erratically, driving drunk, you take the keys away. You don’t let that person continue to drive erratically, drive right into a brick wall,” she continued. “Donald Trump is driving smack into a big, beautiful brick wall, and it is driving the entire Republican Party down.”


After calling on her friends in the Republican Party to rein Trump in, Navarro took some scathing shots at the nominee.

“Look, man, if you dodged the draft four times, you really should not wage attacks against political — against prisoners of war or against people who served in the war,” she sternly advised. “You shouldn’t call them not strong enough. If you had your share of well-publicized infidelities, you really shouldn’t be attacking other people about their marriage challenges. If you look like you haven’t seen the inside of a gym in at least three years, maybe, just maybe, you should restrain yourself from calling a beauty queen ‘fat’ and ‘Miss Piggy.'”

Has she ever spoken up before about where the Republican Party is heading? Birther nonsense, attacks on women's rights, the tea baggers, closing down the government, immigration, anything?

Trump is the fourth stage of the cancer. Way too late to start treatment.

The only thing I dispute with this story is she has been highly critical of Trashpot for way more than just a few weeks. She's been on his ass from the beginning and shaming trashpot's surrogates.

It's not a big deal.

If you know that you "misspell this all the time", then there are simple ways to fix it. You could simply check to be sure every time you type either word. You could make or use a mnemonic. You could put a card beside the computer.

Here are some to get you started. You can pick what works for you or make your own:

"A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, which
is but saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was
yesterday". Alexander Pope (1688-1744) "Thoughts on Various
Subjects", 1706.

You can relax.

This is a set of fora. This is obviously not a "blog". Blogs are sub-sites (and occasionally whole domains) that are for a single writer, though there may be comment sections. In a blog all the Original Posts (OPs) are by one writer.

In a set of fora (forums, if you prefer) like DU, any of over 237,000 members can make OPs.

If you don't want comment write a blog and close the comments sections; don't post in fora.

Sometimes writers don't get the help they think they want; they sometimes get the help they need.

Writers either write for their readers or they write to preen their own ego and readers be damned.

Choose one if you write.

Writers who write for the sake of their readers write for maximum clarity and comprehension. They take care about their craft so that readers do not have to stumble over spelling mistakes and pick their way through mangled run on sentences.

Writers who are more interested in venting and running off at the mouth don't care about their craft. They dash off any old thing without much thought, however crudely cobbled together.

She's been making excuses and apologizing for every ridiculous right wing talking point for years, she suddenly got "principles" in regards to the Donald because he squashed Jeb and she can't forgive him.

I'm not sure that's entirely true.

Out of the GOP primary candidates, only a few are significantly better (if any) and all still suck.

She is far better than Hillary surrogates in condemning Trump's tactics and Trump the man. The fact that she is a big Republican makes her attacks all the more compelling.
