I guess Trump stole this guy’s strawberries.

You are a 100% correct that free trade and open borders mesh perfectly for the elites....And it is all about the money to be made via both of these policies.

Follow the money! Who profits from open borders and free trade? I have instinctively despised both policies for 25 years but used to be stupid in not realizing that both are money driven.

The Donald making fun of McLame’s butt buddy was priceless.

Stephen must be getting a good salary to write such clap-trap. He fancies himself above, intellectually, FAR above the average American. He probably hangs out with people who are very brilliant to hold his nose while writing about the Donald and the language he uses while speaking to us, the poor unwashed.

Anyone who thinks that Rupert Murdoch is a conservative should pull their head out. He uses his media empire for the globalist position.

WSJ and Faux News will attack Trump and trumpet for JEB! (scion of the Bush Crime Family) every day from now on.

Trump is America’s answer to Hugo Chávez Paul Gigot.

This will get worse as Murdoch's liberal sons take over and this is ongoing. My take this is happening now with the ascension of Megyn Kelly to prime time.

My take is Brett and many other NYC wussies have inherited wealth behind them. Thus they can opinionate till the cows come home without impacting on their or their families lifestyle

Thanks. I was referring to the results when I attempted to read his bio. I am able to see a list of articles he has written but cannot view more than a title and the first sentence or so without signing in. Certainly not intending to direct a complaint toward you.

NYC and DC reporters are dependent on the GOPE for their “access”.

See Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.
(the reporter makes it a point to destroy the man the media created)

What will the WSJ do without access to the Shrimp Cocktail dinner circuit?

How much (directly or indirectly) was paid for this editorial?

I noticed for the last two - three days the FNC has gone full press to discredit and bolster vote splitters in order to clear a path for jeb.

Oreily (current affair) has illegal alien open border advocate ramos on tonight. The NYC media does not get it. Calling someone a “walter Cronkite” is the same as calling them a liar.

The leader isn’t the problem. The people are.

And there you have it, what Big Media people really think of the average citizen.

No wonder the average citizen holds so little respect for jounalists.

the female reporteretes are now on full attack trump mode.

Kelly is grinding her axe since she was exposed as a face only or casting hire. She is no “journalist”. She can not give as good as she gets.

I was not a big fan of Gretta but her I could believe. Kelly is just pancake makeup with a spatula and hairspray and peroxide.

A pretty girl who does not get a second date because she will not shut up.

"If by now you don’t find Donald Trump appalling, you’re appalling."

You know what Mr. Stephens? F*CK YOU!

Now that really pisses me off. I am FAR from being a Trumpaholic, I dont even know if I trust that guy ultimately, but this kind of condescension is an outrage.

If you cant disagree with someone civilly, on your OWN SIDE, then you shouldn't be in the debate. Screw you.

The WSJ is giving all their 50 IQ liberal apes a chance to throw monkey scat at Trump. I think I’ll mail a banana to monkey boy Bret Stephens.

I’ve heard similar things about the liberal “reporters” over the years. They come from money so don’t really need the job, but love “reporting” their thoughts to the fly over unwashed.
