They actually pay this guy six figures to teach classes?

Professor Dan doesn’t live in reality ... he lives, pampered and protected, in academia. He is an intellectual without a clue.

yes, its certainly “damning” that the only candidate whose slogan is “Make America Great Again” has a political rise.

I am sensing a common tone to today’s anti-Trump rants.
A sense that “Ok guys, this is getting serious, we cannot just dismiss him any more and expect he will go away...”

“But this incoherent gasbag has been blathering on for more than two months now,”
Unlike our betters in the punditry, who have been bloviating gasbags for decades.

The Big Media meme continues -
Trump is a loser, he's not serious, you can't win with him, he'll destroy the party, etc. etc.
(In a similar vein, if this were sports, all these "experts" would be telling the New England Patriots to get of Tom Brady because he's too controverial, is ruining the team brand, etc.)
In other words, Big Media is afraid that the Republicans will nominate someone who can actually win, and they're totally pissed about that. Republicans were supposed to pick Bush, which Big Media would then destroy as soon as he locked down the nomination.
Damn! The world is so unfair!!

So a Tufts diploma means that your parents were so dumb they spent thousands of their hard earned (we are charitable there) dollars to send you to be indoctrinated by a bigoted gasbag such as Dresser? A more discerning parent would have had you working at Home Depot until you learned something about life.

Americans speak American English ... which includes ... wellll ... YOU know what it includes
And D Trump speaks it
We kept TRYING to learn governmentese and politicianal loquatiousness .... but in the end .... all we ever wanted was for SOMEONE to speak ENGLISH
I don't think it's any plainer, nor simpler than that
Trump talks our language.

So heres my question: What does it say about the deep GOP bench that none of them have managed to outperform a guy who has no comparative political advantage except celebrity and a willingness to insult anyone who crosses his path? Wrong question, stupid. The real question is why Trump resonates with so many voters. Screw the GOP bench. They no longer speak for conservatives...to the point where I can't tell the difference between a Republican and a Liberal Democrat. And until I see a change from the spineless whining that I hear from the "GOP bench", my purse is closed to them. They want some of my money? Find someone who has a pair of stones, is willing to advance conservative values on immigration, spending and taxes, and big gov't. Until then, sit down and shut up.

It was.

Another Trump endorsement. The more the liberal elites do not like him, the more people do.

Remember when the 2016 field of Republican presidential candidates was supposed to be so deep and talented? Meanwhile, the Democrat field of candidates consists of Hillary, an old white rich woman, Sanders, an old white socialist guy, and (maybe) Biden, an old white stupid guy.
That's a really diverse group of Democrats.
