Executive Branch Excess and Constitutional Disregard. We are likely planting the seeds for a total Democrat rout of the US House and Senate for the 2018 midterms. They will have an impeachable majority come 2019. Their rationale will be blatant use of the Presidency despite Constitutional restraints (I know. Irony of Ironies!) I’ve talked to not a few and they say this is entirely possible and plausible. What will give the Dems carte blanche will be excessive and almost obscene Uber-expectations to turn the nation around sewn in 2016 but far from visible fruition by 2018. Americans are an extremely fickle, very impatient and patently unforgiving cyclical lot.

He has certainly thrown everything into a cocked hat.

This is the most fun election season ever!

I don’t think he ‘praised’ them. I see him realistically appraising his potential opponents, suggesting that there must something to them and how they’re able to hold power, instead of naively denouncing them as mere tinpot dictators or what not.

I’d rather have a leader giving sober observations like this.

I don’t necessarily see Trump as a strong conservative. More of a pragmatist who’s conservative enough on positions that matter most right now (immigration, economics, gun rights, etc).

I’m perfectly fine with that.

Suggesting that Trump would somehow be worse than Hillary? Idiocy.

David Harsanyi left his position writing op-eds for The Denver Post to work for Glenn Beck's website, TheBlaze.[4]

That makes David Harsanyi a bold face liar.

"the prospective reality of a Trump-versus-Hillary general election."

Just shows you how decade upon decade of dumbing the population down has paid off for the enemies of America.

What a filthy mind you have. You might have some deep issues of your own. You should check in to that.

The author takes a bit to get there, but eventually does.. A free trader who doesn’t want their cargo ship of cheap Chinese goods disrupted.

Yep, Trump would be a bigger disaster than Hillary for those who think exporting jobs and importing cheap labor will somehow keep the economy of the US churning.

That is why the next republican president must not only lead the nation but also kneecap the democrat party.

That is probably one of the most ridiculous things I have ever read in my life.

To say that Trump’s supporters are a mob that is “incoherent and nihilistic,” is playing on the fact that there are few specifics on how Trump will accomplish his goals. They know that Trump does not want to give specifics on how he will accomplish his goals: Reform the Veteran’s Administration, demolish Obamacare, rebuild the military, build a wall, deal with the illegals, reduce the deficit, correct the trade imbalance, demolish ISIS and bring jobs back to America. His “mob” knows it is a campaign tactic and are willing to wait for the specifics. They know they will come. These type of specifics come once he is the nominee and his campaign turns towards winning the general election. It is part of his game plan which never gives away your hand before you play your hand. The establishment resents Trump’s tactics because it does not give them fodder to hit with every imagined criticism they can conjure because they realize if he gets in there, the little game they are used to playing will end.
