I never thought Donald Trump would run for president. If he did run, I didn’t think he would gain any support, and if he did gain any support, I didn’t think it would last. I thought all polls would show him being crushed by Hillary Clinton.
Fall is upon us, and Trump is leading in Iowa, leading in New Hampshire, leading all Republicans nationally. He has roughly double the combined support of Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio.
In a general election match up against Hillary Clinton, he’s only 2.8 points behind, according to a RealClearPolitics polling average late last week, and doing about the same as Bush and Rubio.
I don’t have much skull left in the spot where I’ve been scratching my head because, as a conservative, I fail to see how Trump is anything but a flaming liberal compared to Bush, Rubio and every other Republican candidate
As a patriot, I’m shocked that Trump got away with slandering John McCain for his Vietnam ordeal. As a person who has a face, I can’t believe he stooped to attacking Carly Fiorina’s.
So this time I’ll try something different: imagining what it’s like to be a Trump supporter. What’s the appeal?
I think I can answer in one word: Stones. Cojones. His buildings aren’t the only things he owns that are thickly layered in brass (and, probably, emblazoned with the Trump logo.)

The average American feels that the country has a sucking chest wound and everybody but Dr. Trump is telling him to treat it with a couple of aspirin.
We HERE feel the panic and deep, deep concern. But Trump is the ONLY one who seems also convinced of this.
Rush is right --the concern of all the others is mostly just, "Yeah know? I think I want MY hands on the streering wheel as we go over the cliff..."
Everyone else is building up china because they (unlike trump) are beholden to someone for their wealth.
And the others don't really care about the USA. The consider themselves above it and are happy to sell out the country. I believe Trump is "old school" and loves his own country. He may not be the conservative savior that many wish for, but he doesn't want this country to go off the cliff.
Trump will crush Hillary with $1 billion dollars in relentless advertising averse to the sorry bitch. If yyou have any doubts about Trump— get rid of them.
“America today is sagging, flaccid, impotent.”
Subtlety is not the author’s strong point.
LOL! What a load of BS!
With a caveat - if "Felony" Clinton is INDEED ahead of Trump, it tells you that the Democrat Party is nothing more than the American Neo-Fascist Party.
Trump no longer represents a simple dragonslayer. He now represents the angry mob gathering. This could end badly for the GOPe AND the Rats.
I believe there is a segment of our own party, who has been selling out jobs in America for an entire generation.
Now that has progressed to the point, that democrats have a statistical advantage.
We need to rebuild our own country.
Sounds like Kyle Smith was dropped on his head as a chilluns.
Shut up, Kyle, I explained.
If it is true that Trump is behind Hellery in a general matchup, its time to start having battle flags made and uniforms....
I also saw another poll that was specific to Republican's who had somewhere in the neighborhood of 72% (ish...) said they're VERY ANGRY at the Republican Party for not doing what they said they'd do. Only 2% were "happy" with what the Republican party is doing.
Who in the blue hell are those 2%?!
Their owners.... er.... donors!
Given the fact that Obama's literally pissed all over the Constitution and has ZERO respect for the law, I'm frankly shocked that the trouble hasn't already started.
WTF does it take for this country to wake the hell up and start hoisting these marxist bastards up a tree limb by their necks?
Slandering John McCain?
McCain is a traitor.
Paleo - Trump is ALREADY acting.
He is giving the little whining, crying Uniparty b*tches a PC-ectomy, without anesthetic. Right in front of God and everybody.
The initial part of the solution is to SMACK DOWN the "heart-tugging anecdote" ALWAYS promulgated by the Left and its Media (but I repeat myself...).
You know - the 5-year-old little girl who runs out to the pope to plead for her famblys lives...
Trump just biffs that crap aside, doubles down, and smacks them harder. Just like a Founding Father would.
The 1% automatically get richer as population density increases well beyond the optimum, so of course they are gung ho for massive immigration despite now having to scrape the bottom of the immigrant barrel to make it happen. A concern is Mr. Big City Real Estate himself needs immigration to keep making his mortgage payments.
So you believe everyone who served in Vietnam is automatically a hero? Trump said McCain was a hero for surviving being a POW, but he wasn’t a hero simply for serving. Of course the MSM didn’t go with what Trump actually said. Also never mind that there are plenty of veterans who don’t consider McCain particularly heroic given his poor record as an aviator.
You can be the best, most conservative candidate in the world. It doesn’t do you a damn bit of good if you can’t fight or aren’t willing to.
Trump may be the only one to do what needs to be done.
I want a president who will fight to protect me, my family, my friends and my fellow ethnic Americans of all races. Yes my ethnicity is American. American is my homeland. I want a president who will stand and fight against those who tell me and my fellow ethnic Americans that we are the problem in the world. I want my president to say Americans are not the problem in the world. Americans are tolerant and generous. Americans have made the world a better place. Americans have given much to help others and Americans are not going to give up their culture or their homeland to invaders who want to destroy that culture and subject us to their less then generous domination. I want my president to stand and fight. I want my president to never give in and never give up in the fight against the injustice of liberals, socialists, communists, islamics and others who want us to call wrong right. There is wrong and there is right and neither one is the same thing. I want a president I can be proud. I want a country I feel save to live in and proud to pass down my ethnically American traditions to future generations.
ethnicity: noun: ethnicity; plural noun: ethnicities
the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition.
McCain is bought by the Globalist Bastards. I've tried to shame him away from actions with memory of his Admiral father. To no avail. He is a valueless bitter old jerk. That has nothing to do with his imprisonment in the Hanoi Hilton. Some Vets find fault with some of that.
