That Clever Mr. Trump
americanthinker.com ^ | James Lewis

Posted on 02/12/2016 4:27:51 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Obama now rules by fear and intimidation. That is why the GOP keeps betraying conservatives.

It isn't just a change in law. The atmosphere of persecution and intimidation has entered our souls. You and I have internalized it. This is why we desperately need a truth-teller, to show how flimsy the left's power really is.

Every other GOP candidate has had to kowtow to Obama's Marxist-Leninist style of governance. The nuclear surrender to Iran is just another betrayal by the most radical and destructive president in history. Our weak response to ISIS is another one. Even the Russians are shocked by Obamanism, and by its European cousin, Merkelism, which is leading Europe to voluntary suicide.

The West is in unprecedented trouble, and the Republican Party is too scared to even look over the parapet. Even the speaker of the House has grown a jihad-chic beard.

Well, Trump isn't scared. Whatever else he may be, he is not easily intimidated.

I just bumped into a long Trump commercial on YouTube, parading as a promo for his big Boeing 757. It's worth watching, if only because it is uncensored by anybody but Trump. Even in the GOP debates, we get only sound bites. This curious little promo is a glimpse into his business life, and it's interesting in that way. It's Trump filtered only by Trump, which is very different from Trump filtered by Media Cartel. If Trump is elected, this may be how he will try to govern.

Trump's Boeing is run along military lines, by people who could be working in the military. They are incredibly picky and time-sensitive. They are not exactly cowed by Trump, but they are constantly on the hop, and Trump keeps them that way. They could be on a military staff.

I am angry that we have no leadership. Trump will lead. Other candidates are not as strong, even if more conservative. Trump has led on the issues that are important to me. I am aware of his past so please do not reply with the twister chart etc.

It is called Leadership. It has been so long since the Republican, and Conservative, Establishments have seen any, I can understand why they are confused by it.

On the other hand, I can’t think of anyone better for getting the out of control government back in line as an efficient, organized, and productive entity.

There is soooo much slothenly and haphazard stuff in the grossly over-staffed federal government, someone strong needs to take a managerial iron hand to it.

We’ve all had to deal with government entities from the DOT auto the IRS, and have seen first hand the superioristic attitudes, and lousy customer service that prevails. Far too many “good ol’ boy” positions taking taxpayer money and then treating the taxpayers like crap. Dolling out favors to their chosen “winners”, and corruption personified.

It’s time to start getting all that back under control.

Trump would do a good job, but so would many of the people who have been defeated by the mass of Third World voters the democrats have turned America into.

a truth-teller - who, if there actually was one, would be shouted down, ridiculed, smeared, and called on to ‘cite your sources!’

“If Trump is elected, this may be how he will try to govern” without actually saying how and using the qualifier ‘try.’

A few sentences later we see the lie in the ‘govern.’ “... run along military lines, by people who could be working in the military ...” Implying that his governing style will be like a officer in the military or like any old tyrant. Which is only governing in the loosest of senses.

So in other words, DJT supporters want more of the strongman rule by fear and intimidation which is what a tyrant does. I’m sure many of his supporters, those who aren’t busy writing hate comments to me, would disagree, but have no answer to the question: exactly how would he govern doing something he has never done?

Exactly how would Senator 99-1 govern doing something he has never done? Trump is a doer. Cruz is a talker. That’s the difference right there.

This.

One can make a case that Ted Cruz has at least not done so with the frequency of most of his colleagues, nor has he done so with lots of smiles and/or rounds of golf. That is credit where I believe it is due. But. . .

Despite lame protestations and reverse-psychology from the beltway dwellers, Ted doesn't "scare" the establishment. Donald Trump scares them.

A lot.

It would be the best thing that can happen. So often, the left and right agree on what are the problems, it's the solutions that are different. If we can have the discussion without the sewage in the middle (both parties), conservatives will win, every time. In such an honest discussion, all US citizens will win.

Great read.

The Trump plane video the article refers to is here:

It’s pretty impressive.

The real problem is that the gop isn’t afraid or intimidated by 0bama, they are fully onboard with the program of turning the US into just another Third World dung heap for the benefit of themselves and their friends.

What causes them so much consternation lately is that Trump has come along, and upset their apple cart, even ever so slightly. They were sure that they would get another compliant lawyer turned politician who was eager to line his or her pockets in exchange for a gated community and heavily armed guards to protect them as the rest of us swirl down the drain and into the sewer that they have in mind for us.

Exactly why I'm voting for him. Although he's not the perfect ideological conservative, he'll probably be able to do more actually to advance the cause than anybody else.

Cruz has never governed... He is a glad handing politician. He has never managed anything. How is he qualified?

Ted Cruz helped facilitated the nuclear Iran deal with his support of the Corker Bill. Only 4 scenarios exist for that.
1. He was bribed
2. He was threatened and caved
3. He is a traitor and really supported the deal
4. He was too stupid to figure out what the bill would lead to.

You won’t get any of that with Trump.

After eight years of Obama, we need a period of healing.

Who would Trump be healing?

None of them are qualified to do more than fill the airwaves with hot air ... and other lies they never will do once in office.
