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!!

And that makes him different...how?

All that is true and more. The difference is that Trump is not part of the cabal running things. Trump is taking the fight to the media.

I am ambivalent about a Trump presidency. But I am enjoying the Trump campaign immensely. It is a breath of fresh air compared to the born losers we have been subjected to for the last thirty years. Republicans have only won since Reagan when the democrats have nominated an even bigger loser.

My feeling is that Trump would turn out like Arnold Schwarzenegger turned out in California - ineffective in turning the enormous ship of state that is modern government.

Bingo!

The pols that Establishment pundits like Goldberg do trust are the ones who can be trusted not to do whatever they occasional have to promise to the despised base during primary season.
