From the article:
To wit: I don’t think Trump is a conservative. I don’t think he’s a very serious person. I don’t think he’s a man of particularly good character. I don’t think he can be trusted to do the things he promises.
That is exactly how Trump supporters view The Establishment. In fact, it is a PERFECT description of a Republican Establishment that for two decades has grown the size of the federal government, refused to secure the border, attacked the Tea Party, surrendered to Democrats, and appeased our evil media at almost every opportunity (see a full list of GOP sins at Conservative Treehouse).
Exactly!!
I don’t think Trump is philosophically conservative, but he is philosophically American.
That puts him head and shoulders above most of the pack who are multi-national politicians.
I think Trump has been a closet conservative in a liberal town for a long time. His conservatism may be eclectic and not well polished, but I think he listens to experts in the respective fields.
You either ‘love’ him or ‘hate’ him....
I love him! He is a breath of fresh air on a Spring Morning, he isn't ‘owned’ by anyone but himself, he says what he thinks, if you attack him, he's a viper and he'll bite back hard and fast, he's strong, he has his own style, and he doesn't care either way what you think, unless your a candidate...
I can't get enough of him, and it doesn't matter what he says or does, I am behind him 100%...I liked him even before he announced his running...
As a POTUS, he will heal this Nation, he will make it rich, he will help and protect the Vets, he will make the Military strong, he will down size Government, he will build a wall (and the illegal immigrants will be running away from here like fleas), and he will not put up with b.s. from any foreign country...
Will he go to war? I don't know, but those that think he's a wimp, will soon find out that they had better think long and hard about it....(that's why he wants a bigger, better and stronger Military)...
You don't have to approve of my assessment on Trump as I don't have to approve of your disapproval....we are, anyway at this very sec, a free country and can say what we feel...
The GOPe, media, talking heads, washington carter, ‘sewer city’ are afraid of him....the muslim in chief will do anything to stop Trump from taking office, even enacting martial law, or having something terrible happen to Trump, he will probably after he gets the nomination, have every individual of the IRS, CIA, FBI, world government official, look, dig, lie, cheat, steal to make his life hell...
So we are on a roller coaster ride, right now not so bad, but wait for a few more months and things are going to get really wild....and that's when your going to see how Trump gets what he wants, and how he does it...
For some reason neither Jonah nor his mom like Trump. I think he will be a good POTUS. He loves America.
Why can’t we all just get along?
If Jonah Goldberg and his colleagues in the professional punditocracy don’t like a particular candidate, for example, Donald Trump, why don’t they find other candidates that they do like and write about them, instead of spending so much time and energy attacking the candidate they don’t like?
I can’t think of any reason why I should value the opinion of Jonah Goldberg more than the opinions of the hundreds of Freepers who collectively make their opinions known here.
I WOULD value Jonah Goldberg’s opinion more if he actually reported on the various candidates by spending weeks on the campaign trail with them, listening to their speeches, and doing intensive research about them.
But that seems to be too much to ask of modern journalists.
Good article... George Will, Chairman of the TDS Society will be upset at not being mentioned
Good Ol’ Jonah identity politics for me, but not for thee, basically he thinks he is a natural born leader for the masses for the Trotskyite socialist global revolution.
The article says Trump fights powerful people. Well, Trump attacked Pamela Geller after her and nearly 300 people were murdered. Trump is a creep and should not be at the head of the Republican party. Of course, we need a President who will tax the rich more (Trump’s position), eh? That is a solid, Conservative position, eh?
Well at least Jonah has moved from denial to anger. LOL!
Defeat an existential threat to the Republican Party and by extension America by finally securing the border. For good reason (history, evidence), they don’t trust the others, or at least not as much.
Kill terrorists.
Lower middle class taxes.
Simplify the tax code.
Fix the Veterans Administration. Finally annihilate the feckless, dishonest, cowardly, insulting, snobbish, appeasing, corrupted Republican Establishment — and with it all their toxic cronies and parasites in the grifter Consultant Class and mercenary Chamber of Commerce.
Getting the big conservative things right and burning the diseased village to save the village sounds conservative enough for me.
Works for me...
Nolte blocked me on Twitter. He said Hugh Hewitt was smartest man on planet and I twitted “suck up much?” and got blocked. Oh well lol
