Donald Trump is a boor. He's a vulgarian, a liar, an ignoramus. He has only the most cursory grasp of policy, a stentorian voice and a great big set of self-assurance. He's winning the Republican nomination.
Why?
It is partly because of the Clintons.
While the media point and laugh at the Trump reality show carnival, they forget that the Clintons originally took us all to the circus. This week, we found out that Hillary Clinton's email scandal now occupies the attention of 147 FBI agents, and that she will be questioned by the FBI. We found out that her pig husband allegedly snorted cocaine off the table of one of his former lovers in 1983, as well as gallivanted around her place wearing her nightie while playing the saxophone. And the indispensable Judicial Watch released information that the Obama administration is withholding draft indictments of Hillary Clinton, including an indictment over the Whitewater case during her husband's first term in office.
Nobody bat an eye.
This is the world to which Americans have become accustomed. We've been immunized to scandal. It's difficult to come up with a scandal that could damage Trump. Caught in bed with two hookers? That's just because he's got such lovely hands. Caught beating a dog with a tire iron? The man has passion. Trump is the apex of black socks politics. As the old children's rhyme goes: "Black socks, they never get dirty,/ the longer you wear them, the blacker they get."
We all embraced black socks politics thanks to the Clintons.
The Clintons dragged the office of the presidency through the muck. Now, they're trying to rehabilitate themselves at the expense of Trump. It won't work. Trump doesn't even pretend to have standards: He cheated on his first wife with his second, his second with his third, and presumably at some point will cheat on his third with his fourth (should he live so long). But nobody cares.
Meanwhile, the National Enquirer runs a sourceless, evidenceless story about Senator Ted Cruz, R-TX, supposedly shtupping a series of women not his wife, and the media go ballistic. That's because it's significantly more dangerous in this political day and age to have standards than to abandon all standards before you get started. Bill Clinton can get away with being human because nobody expects anything else. But so can Hillary Clinton, and so can Trump. Those who aspire to something higher have farther to fall.
And so, we're going to be increasingly treated to a series of candidates from both sides of the aisle with checkered pasts and no principles. After all, principles tie you down, force you to behave and put you in the awkward position of having to act decently. Better to skip the standards and go straight for the scandal. If you have enough of them early on and often enough, your candidacy becomes downright unkillable, like an antibiotic-resistant virus.
Hence Trump. Hence Clinton. Hence prospective presidential candidates Kanye West, Kim Kardashian and Jenna Jameson. Why not? After all, at least they're not hypocrites. They're exactly who they say they are. No scandal can touch them
No, he's not!
Can't wait for heads to explode when Cruz takes Wisconsin next Tuesday.
Ben Shapiro who got run off from Breitbadt. LOL!
You forgot fag.
You realize if that happens, the GOP establishment wins, don't you?

Donald Trump, with all his money and success, never fit in or was actually accepted by the blueblood snobs of NYC society. He doesn’t drink alcohol, doesn’t dish the dirt like they do, and even when invited to a society bash, he would show up early, stay an hour, and then rush home for a bowl of popcorn in front of the TV. He’s a blue collar billionaire.

Sounds a lot like YOU BEN,and your Drama Queen Snowflake Fields.
How on earth did we ever create these metrosexual weenies?
Didn't know some of that. But then, I kinda got that sense from him.
Shapiro’s become a one-man army in the battle against campus PC. He crushes the ruling campus liberal elitist thought police effortlessly and with aplomb. None of us pajamas media freepers could hold a candle to him. My son and I are going to see him next week at Penn State. We can’t wait. We could use a lot more “spineless cowards” like him in the battle of ideas.

LOL!
Yes, And Glen Beck pushes Cruz as Chosen One. Refers to End Times. It seems many forget the Lord’s warnings to His apostles that” Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.”Matthew 24:11

That article is from March 2nd. Trump has since won several closed primaries. Nice try, troll.
Name them trumpette.
You can’t be serious, troll, but here they are: Florida, Arizona, Hawaii, Louisiana, and Kentucky
I always expected Ben Shapiro to remain above the Mudslingers, Very Sad.....................h
Anyone who believes the Clinton’s made Trump are idiots. Trump was a multi millionaire before Bill Clinton was known outside of Arkansas.. In fact, Clinton was just cutting 3rd party 10% deals with agents and state employees benefits.
The GOPe wants to do everything except looking in the mirror to find the cause.
YES!!!!!!!
Ah, so you make a bogus claim with a month-old article, don’t have your facts straight, yet whine and curse when called a troll for pulling such nonsense. Smells like a troll to me.
