Trump Not Fake Enough!
Kausfiles ^ | May 29, 2016 | Mickey Kaus

Posted on 05/29/2016 10:05:19 AM PDT by OddLane

he NYT says “Donald Trump’s Campaign Stumbles As it Tries to Go Big.” Evidence of the stumbling? 1) Trump met with “dozens of female chief executives and entrepreneurs” last week but “never publicized” it! Instead of putting out this staged campaign news, Trump put out real news (that he’d fired political director RIck Wiley, the man who crash-landed Scott Walker’s campaign.) 2) Trump only has one communications aide. One! Why, Hillary has “a press team of more than a dozen, including people devoted solely to the news media for black and Hispanic audiences”! 3) Trump hasn’t yet violated the spirit of the campaign finance laws by “unofficially” anointing a particular super Pac (a campaign organization he’s technically supposed to be independent of).

This will not do, warns the only critic quoted in the piece– trained seal GOP strategist Scott Reed, the genius behind Bob Dole’s 1996 campaign, who more recently pushed immigration amnesty (with similar success!) for the Chamber of Commerce, and generally represents everything Trump has opposed in the primary. “Mr. Reed stressed that Mr. Trump needed to grow — and fast.”

They just cannot fathom that Trump is winning without and despite the paid political hacks that have ruined more than one campaign.

Won the nomination by spending just $54 million... I'd love to see how it breaks down once you cull out the costs for all those massive Trump rallies. That would be the number that would make heads explode.

Mickey Kaus ridicules the professional political class.

They’re arrogant, full of it and generally give candidates bad advice.

Trump is well off ignoring them.

Not as good as Bernie, but so far Trump is ahead of the curve.

Cognitive dissonance is running amuck with proggies nowadays.

So many truths opposing so many of their beliefs.

Was it Frank Sinata that sang: “I’ll do it my way”? I think Trump is doing it ‘his’ way and I’m mighty proud that he is!!!

He is an American First; A Businessman; A Husband; A Father and for all of that he will be An American President who will be putting America FIRST along with the American People...

These MSM liars, online news twits, paid off talking heads and talk show hosts just don’t know how to handle any of this man’s way of life...

Every time they try to down him, it gains him more support; every time they try to fake another poll, he goes higher and higher, poor slobs just can’t handle it, and We as the People of the United States of America should be mighty proud of the taking back of OUR COUNTRY!!!

For all of those that have served in our Military, and that have died fighting for our Freedoms, and have come back home without body parts: I sincerely thank each and every one of you on this special Memorial Day!!!

Kaus is one of the few pundits with any sense whatsoever. Trump will win in a landslide unless they replace the Beast with Slow Joe. I think Trump respects Biden although he would crush Joe as well. In the meantime it is going to be fun watching the media try to drag HRC’s fat ass across the finish line - not to win, place or show but just to finish.

Trump is so doomed!

So far he knocked off fifteen republican candidates and only one democrat (Kasich). He’s peaked - stuck in first place for a couple months - and he now has nowhere to go except to stay in the lead. Doomed!

He has no chance, zero, of knocking any more republicans out of the race. So doomed!

And it will be months before he is ready to face even one democrat.

Doomed, I say. Doomed!

Another expert telling Trump what he needs to do or say?

What joke these arrogant political experts/MSM are. Almost every single one of the pundits, MSM experts, political strategist and lawyer politicians were all wrong over and over and over. They were wrong about Trump and wrong about the American people.

It's a perennial problem.

These are the same people who believe in a Star Trek-like fantasy future, where there's perfect social cohesion, radical egalitarianism, and no ethnic/racial conflict and a seamless welfare state.

How do they achieve that goal?

By importing millions of clannish, lower-income, poorly educated immigrants/refugees from the third world while simultaneously making the economy run as inefficiently as possible.

WELL ACTUALLY... He has PAUL RYAN TO DEFEAT. If he can Cantor Ryan in the primary, every freaking RINO up for re election will crap themselves and fall all over themselves to have Trump in their district. I want to see that sooooo bad. When Pauls political head is on a stick before November it will be a clear message to all.... Tick Tick Boom...
