Despite Donald Trump’s meteoric rise to the top of the Republican presidential polls, the GOP establishment continues to bash its leading candidate. Apparently “party-cide†is contagious: The Democratic establishment continues to ride the sinking Clinton campaign like the string quartet on the deck of the Titanic — the majority of Americans know she’s a liar and don’t trust her. It’s a fight to the death all right, only each party’s pointing a gun at its own head.
GOP establishment favorite Jeb Bush is hemorrhaging voters too. CBS News/YouGov shows Bush coming in a pathetic eighth place in New Hampshire and doing only marginally better in Iowa, where he now places fifth.
As an attorney who’s worked for Trump (I have not represented him for the past year and a half) — and many years ago, against him — his success on the campaign trail comes as no surprise: Trump’s a man of exceptional tenacity and guts, insightful intuitions, clear purposes, an intelligence that’s expressed forcefully and directly, always without regard to political correctness, and a world class negotiator. Trump intuitively understands what troubles Americans and boldly states their concerns; I guarantee he’ll never be an appeaser of foreign governments; there’ll be no Neville Chamberlains or hapless apprentices for domestic or foreign policy, in his administration — if you’re not doing your job, you’ll be fired.
Coming off President Obama’s massive failures, most recently his hugely dangerous appeasement of Iran (and funding of the terrorist regime), Americans hunger for Trump’s common sense approach, especially when coupled with his incorruptibility: Trump doesn’t need donors (let alone a foundation to function as money generating, influence-peddling machine), and when he says politicians are forever hitting him up for money...

Two polls out today showing Jeb at 4% and 3% respectively. Trump at 31%%and 32%. Carson at 16% and 18%.
Go Trump!!!!! All the way to the White House!
“Nifster (I see puppy dogs in the clouds)”
BOL! Don’t look up if they are over you!
Amen Johnie!
“The things that resonates about Trump is he has proven leadership skills and he brings an outsider view.
For the last 30 years we have elected career politicians to DC. Career politicians see everything in terms of politics. They look for a political answer to any problem. We need someone who will look at the problem, listen to his advisers, then say “this is the right thing to do†rather then “this is the politically correct thing to doâ€.
For a change we need to send someone to DC who has the leadership skills to surround himself with good people, the habit of listening to the advice of those experts instead of his political advisers, and the backbone to make the tough decisions. We need someone to go to DC and say “this, this and this is nonsense, we aren’t doing that any more no matter what the Donor class saysâ€
A career politician, being part of the party machine, is not even going to see those issues in that light. Instead he is going to see the politics of the issue. It just how they are wired.”
Great article.
Wow...you are REALLY hung up on this marriage thing.
I LOVED Reagan, in spite of his TWO marriages.
It was Reagan’s brilliant mind and experience to manage people and processes that I admired...just as do, even more so, with Trump.
Not sure if Reagan ever had to make payroll, like Trump. But, they BOTH run circles around today’s OTHER candidates, when it comes to business management.
Love it :) Always loved the Blues Brothers.
A Trump/Cruz ticket works for me!
It's early yet for Senate and House campaigns.
Wrong on what? That he's a blue dog Democrat? That he's more conservative than most of the GOPe? That he'll disappoint me on court appointments but will reform executive appointments?
I apologize. I misread your post.
I guess I’m getting a little too defensive regarding Trump.
As far as coat tales go it is probably a little too early. I’m hoping he will help more outsiders primary GOPe candidates.
:)
Not too early to push people into considering those campaigns. People who would normally not even consider it due to the sheer amount of having to kiss the rumps of the GOPe to have a shot.
Bless your heart. Much better to let the country be totally destroyed than elect someone who has been married 3 times. /s
Tells me a lot about his “commitment”
I think our much better choice is Ted Cruz.
Thanks for the ping!
Haters gonna hate!
Good one :)
