I am all for the most thorough vetting of our candidates possible. We’ve seen what inadequate vetting does.
“The Republican elites are all in a Twitter titter about whether Donald Trump can be defeated. They needn’t worry. Beating Trump will be as easy as counting backward from four to one”
STE=Q
“Four bankruptcies, three wives, two parties, one big problem for America.”
Lincoln went bankrupt; Ronald Reagan had TWO wives, Ronald Reagan had TWO PARTIES, and one big problem for America is his useless freakin’ RINO opinion.
This fool thinks that little cadence is catchy.
I’m not a Trump supporter, but I wince when I see stupid articles like this one. We know about the bankruptcies. We know about the wives. We know that Trump isn’t exactly Russell Kirk when it comes to being intellectually grounded in high-level political thought.
If you want to attack Trump, tell us something that hasn’t been shouted at us in 200 point type on the front page of the NY Post for the last 30 years.
This approach reminds me of the failed campaign of Bernard Epton against Harold Washington for the Mayoralty in Chicago in the early ‘80s. At one point he was in striking distance, and someone got the idea to get the word out that Harold Washington is BLACK.
I finally decided that -- because I knew I liked the original system of government that the Founders gave us -- anything calling itself "New Republic" must be my enemy, so I knew they were the communists.
And, of course, that meant that "National Review" was the better one and the one that was Conservative.
[shrug] Today things are so much easier and I never have any confusion: They're both communist rags.
Are they serious?
You’d just like to go over to the NR offices and give each of them shaken adult syndrome. Soooo slow on the uptake over there. So desperate.
The voters are NOT trying to pick Supreme Moral Holy Perfect Leader according to the playbook that keeps the two-party oligarchy in power. The 1900s are OVER. We want everyone clinging to the status quo in Washington, INCLUDING THE JOURNALISTS, out on their asses. Well, we kind of want the guillotine, but we’ll compromise.
Three amicable wives, so far.
If Trump was openly gay, we would not be having this conversation.
gay = pass
three wives = fail
National Review and Fox News. Working together to make sure you don’t vote for Trump.
And a partridge in a pear tree.
This is beyond lame. Someone got paid to write this?
Funny how when we wanted someone other than Romney and McCain, we were called ‘purists’, among other derogatory names. “Pull the ‘R’ lever and shut up!”, we were admonished.
Now that many conservatives want Trump on the basis he will get the right job done and done right, we’re mocked for not being ‘purists’.
RINO’s are as hypocritical and shameful and the Dems.
No sale, girls. Try again tomorrow.

National Review is on a vendetta. They are totally unhinged.
You really like this National Review stuff? smh.
Hey Hank! You wouldn’t have “Four Easy Steps” for beating that crook Clinton, would you? It’s hell now that those who work for a living are vastly out numbered by those who vote for a living.
Let the Pubbie without flaw please step forward.

Trump bash thread for Friday, September 25, 2015... On to tomorrow
They just don't get it. We want Trump because (1) we're tired of being told what to do and (2) he's not one of them.
Those 4 easy steps to beat Trump are working like a charm so far. Another pipe dream interrupted by the alarm clock.
