Okay, calm down...I do not agree with all of this article, but I posted it because he does ask some reasonable questions to conservatives who think Donald Trump is the conservative answer. I wonder if anyone on FR will stop flaming long enough to actually answer these questions.......

I’m not looking for a conservative. I am looking for someone who will take on the Democrats, media, and political correctness. Trump seems to be able to do this.

“Don’t pay attention to Trump. Vote for whoever the GOPe and National Review (a wholly-owned subsidiary of GLOBALISTS, INC.) tell you. Dammit, you little people!”

When Jonah Goldberg started out and was interviewed on radio he typically would put the word “like” into each one of the sentence is about 4 times.

Jonah and National Review have SO much #butthurt over Trump's success so far. It's hilarious and points to their Northeast establishment bias. Jonah didn't fall too far from the Lucianne tree.

Dana Loesch summed it up perfectly.

She stated: "It’s easier for a party to make one guy the villain than it is to admit that his ascent shows how badly they’ve screwed up all these years."

It takes more than saying the right things to make a person qualified for the Presidency. Although I’m certainly glad someone is saying the right things.

I don’t think people are warming to Trump so much as his message. Also, they are relieved to finally see someone in power (economic power in Trump’s case) with the guts to point out publically that the Emperor has no clothes.

I like the stuff Trump is saying and I like his attitude. He cuts through the BS and says what he thinks without reading from a prepared statement. Mostly, I like that he is punching back. He waits for the stupid gotcha questions and punches the media right in the nose.

I’m not a supporter of any candidate right now. I like Cruz but I’m watching to see how he acts in the next few months. Trump? As I said, I like what he’s saying right now. My main problem with him is I have noticed over the years he seems to have a short attention span. I can’t help but wonder if he will be as passionate on the same things 6 months from now. Or a year from now.

I know one thing, though. All the right people want him to shut up and that makes me smile.

Trump has a particular function, and I find it very interesting and entertaining. I support him BEING THERE. I don’t support him as a candidate. He is sucking a lot of media oxygen. There are folks, like me, who think it’s simply great that his is in, yes, spouting his mouth off, but unquestionably beating on topics the so-called REAL candidates will not touch or have to tap-dance around. There are folks who probably support him as a candidate, and those I think are misguided. But I do not care that they are misguided. If Trump drops out later on, they will at least have had the opportunity to hear a contrary view on illegal immigration. They will figure out what they’re doing later. Trump’s effort cements a good swath of the electorate into an anti-illegal view and by the time the press and the Roves and Linda Grahams of the world beat on him and beat on him and beat on him, it is they who will look like fools. I’m not seeing a negative here.

I don't think he's any answer. I do, however, think he's getting people talking about the most important issue of the day, IMHO. One that others are simply afraid to.

I don’t think he’s a conservative, but he’s doing a damned good job of separating the wheat from the chaff...

All one has to do is look at all the RINO’s clamoring for coverage to try and shut him up...and the squealing from the leftists...says about all I need to hear.

He’s taking a lot of flak, probably clearing a path for a legitimate contender like Ted Cruz.

Time for an intervention with National Review as well:

Red State: “At one time National Review was a proudly conservative publication. No more.”

“Mark Steyn made the mistake of taking the side of Duck Dynasty patriarch, Phil Robertson, in the fascist assault carried out on him by the lobbying group for deviant sexual practices, GLAAD. This got the knickers of his editor, someone named Jason Lee Steorts, in a twist.”

http://www.redstate.com/2013/12/22/national-review-editor-mark-steyn-is-a-big-meany/

Town Hall: “in a column written by managing editor Jason Lee Steorts, National Review apparently decided they didn’t want social conservatives — the third and largest leg of Reagan’s famed three-legged stool — to read their stuff anymore when they full-throated embraced the Rainbow Jihad.”

“And just like that a legacy marked by staring down Marxists both foreign and domestic is no more. National Review has been surrendered to America’s Cultural Marxists. So much for the legacy founded by the man who gave us God and Man at Yale.”

“That takes some serious selling out.”

This isn’t totally out of left field, though. Steorts began showing his true colors back in 2013 when he ran Mark Steyn – arguably one of the most courageous and entertaining conservatives of the last decade – out of National Review for daring to call the agenda of the Rainbow Jihad into question.

That agenda was still in its ‘How is my gay marriage going to affect your life?’ stage, but Steyn saw through the scam and said as much in his typically biting yet congenial way. Less than two years later we know Steyn to be a prophet, as businesses great and small are now forced to genuflect at the altar of homosexual hubris and pagan courts gone wild.

Rush Limbaugh: “National Review used to, indisputably, it was the voice of conservatism … Now, it’s not so much that, as it is the voice of Republicanism….”

Have I missed some new trend that is is okay to misspell “huge”. I see it spelled, “yuge”, “hugh”, and couple of other ways.

Am I missing some catchy new thing only kids get?

I am one who is excited to see the impact Trump is making. I do not see him as a serious contender, either. But at last he shows the impact someone makes when he taps into the feelings many Americans have. The GOP-E types who have condemned his remarks are showing their true colors.

Compare Trump and his defense of his remarks to Romney's walk-back of his 47% remark. Instead of walking back his remarks, Trump has doubled down.

I like the way Trump is throwing flames into the whole political process, and has both left and right howling like scorched cats. If it passes the point where it seems unhealthy for the Republic, then I’ll take note. But we are nowhere near that point yet.

More urgently note the enemy islamist øbama and his minions.
