Via ‘Diamond and Silk’, I am a ‘ditch-n-switcher’.

Of ALL the candidates, when this thing show started, it was Trump, that held closest to things I hold dear, wrapping it up in one word ... NATIVIST.

One of my guilty pleasures is reading anti-Trump news. Back in the day, the Trump-is-Hitler narrative became so common that “The Wrap” had to do a roundup:

http://www.thewrap.com/trump-hitler-roundup-heres-whos-compared-donald-trump-to-hitler-this-weekend/

Trump haters had to get in line, in other words, to have their say about how Trump is Hitler. At that point my own appetite for anti-Trump news became more refined. “Trump is anybody-but-Hitler” became the new “Trump is Hitler” for me.

The news media delivered. “Trump is Lenin.” “Trump is Stalin.” “Trump is Khrushchev.” “Trump is Pol Pot.” “Trump is Mussolini.” ...

Media *loves* to hate Trump. They’re trapped in a sick S&M relationship with Trump as their master. Deep down they want Trump elected despite what they say in polite company.

“Amid the contentious primary, one presidential contender — more than any other candidate, including Republicans — has attacked Trump in campaign ads: Democrat Hillary Clinton. “

This should tell people all they need to know. Trump is the only opponent Hillary is truly afraid of.

Clinton has sponsored nearly 8,000 ads that criticize Trump

I am so confused. I thought it was Trump she wanted to run against and Cruz she was afraid of and that Kasich would defeat her in all 50 states.

They don't get it at all. The disconnect between them and regular Americans is way too yuge.
As Pat Conroy said, The Water is Wide.

Geez, you scared me with that pic.

I donated to Trump. I think every Trump supporter should donate. I think we should swamp him with donations. Trump didn’t need to do this, he owes us nothing. Yet he wants to pay back for what this country has done for him.

“The secret of fortune is joy in our hands. Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide. Him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him because he did not need it.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Donald Trump is steamrolling toward the nomination because of the negative ad blitz. This would have been much harder for him if he had been treated as just one of seventeen candidates. Instead, the mainstream media attacked him continuously and kept his message at the top of every news report. That made Trump’s life much easier.

When the economy recovers, starting weeks after Trump takes office, the media will give Obama credit for the economic boom.

The more anti-Trump ad run by the people who have and are destroying America, the more that patriotic Americans will believe supporting Trump is the right thing to do.

Simply, the more they disparage Trump, the stronger he becomes

What truly astounds me is how American blacks continue to buy the inane Democrat nonsense to keep them on the plantation for 50+ years.

A few dollars of social programs are (apparently) enough scraps from the table to keep them pacified and satisfied.
If any one group should be interested in free enterprise and getting honest pay for honest work, it should be American blacks.

As famously alluded by President Lyndon B. Johnson the Democrats have them right where they want them. I just don't get it.

The opposition is getting desperate. Trump had better watch his back. Remember what happened to the Kennedys.

Rush has always said that the media cannot break him down because his success was made from the ground up. Same with Trump. Trump made his own success - not the media or pundits or lobbyists. Only the supporters can tear Trump down.

[Blue Jays]

I pray for the safety of Donald Trump and his security detail. The Clintons will stop at nothing.

bombastic billionaire Notice how journalists pick certain words. Controversial candidate etc.

[Zathras]

The sad part was 50k of those ads were paid for by the GOP-e donors to help Jeb Bush.
