It’s been said that the Left admires conservatives when they fight back. Look at the respect they heaped on Lee Atwater. They hated his guts, but they respected and feared him. This article is the same and it’s realization that CNN believes that the days of Republican cowering into corners are over.

Repubican(s)!?

A few Maybe. Trump definitely. But as a whole?

Not so much. They’re running around looking for their safe spaces.

Spineless, yellow bellied cowards!

Well, if the combination of Trump, Breitbart, Bannon, Conway, Manafort, Guiliani, Mercer, Sessions, Miller, Christie, Hannity, Priebus, and the others in the engine of the Trump Train can’t get the job done, we’re gonna have to do some serious thinking about what comes next.

Andrew Breitbart ..a true American patriot stolen and ripped from our representative republic ...we are not a democracy. His name is lost on the young because of nefarious actions (in my view) so as to further subjugate those in the school systems being fed altered history and awash in LGBQT and (add whatever letter you want) faggotism and a true lead into a society “fractured.” Do not worry their are many men around who value this Republic far more than a coin who are walking amongst you everyday. We are not self serving but love the life this country America has given us and our offspring. The constant liberal news is for those that do not shun being supported by others when they are capable of doing it themselves...they have no pride or appreciation of how lucky they are to be able to do so, they just enjoy a better grade of existence when basics are supplemented from those with appreciation of being able to provide.....we are here and this is our ground/Nation.

Very interesting that emotionalism is to blame for Trump. Especially when it is the liberals and progressives who legislate from feel-good emotions and good intentions regardless of the abundant facts and logic that their programs are not only useless but more often counterproductive.

This isn’t my observation, but from another thread earlier today that I can’t find now:

Earlier this afternoon, NPR’s All Things Considered opened the show with a clip of an angry Trump denouncing Hillary, the New York Times, big media, the Dems, and the whole rotten establishment as colluding to keep him down. The NPR fag described Trump’s language as “apocalyptic”. Obviously, they thought the clip would damage Trump, showing him as unhinged. They were wrong.

...

You might have gone to bed thinking that the top story today would be GROPE-GATE, but it’s not. The actual top story today is Trump, in the strongest language, alleging a grand conspiracy of everyone important against him and the American people. So, when I heard that lead-off clip, it struck me that Trump has not just entered the populist golden zone, he’s begun to transcend it.

Just as the end of the election arrives, Donald Trump is transitioning into his final form: Trump is achieving populist apotheosis: He is becoming The People’s Champion

The new narrative that’s breaking into the national consciousness is One Honest Man Against Washington. From here on out, the coordinated nature of the attacks is more important than the content. Every establishment, big media attack validates Trump’s righteousness. They’re proof that he’s the underdog, fighting a virtuous battle. Even the cooked polls help him, after all, an underdog has to be down in the final quarter of the big game for the victory to really matter.

Here’s something else: everyone is underestimating the importance of the first ten minutes of the second debate ... apologizing. Not just apologizing, but abashed, nervous looking and subdued. This wasn’t a histrionic televangelist apology, but evidence of a man experiencing genuine contrition.

Even better, here’s the key section of the written apology:

“I have traveled the country talking about change for America, but my travels have also changed me. I’ve spent time with grieving mothers who’ve lost their children, laid-off workers whose jobs have gone to other countries, and people from all walks of life who just want a better future. I have gotten to know the great people of our country and I’ve been humbled by the faith they’ve placed in me. I pledge to be a better man tomorrow, and will never, ever let you down.”

That’s Trump’s metamorphosis; the final act turn of the Hero’s Journey. Prince Hal has put away Falstaff and donned the crown of a good king. Trump has repented his sinful ways and been transformed into a righteous warrior.

If we believe his written apology, and I do, Trump has been chosen and transformed by ordinary Americans into their worthy champion. Donald Trump is no longer fighting to increase his wealth, he’s fighting against terrible odds to save us from an evil cabal.

...

Right now, the new narrative of Plain Spoken Trump Against Everyone Rotten is in place. There’s nothing the MSM or Dems can do to change it. They can’t claim they’re even-handed or objective, because they’ve said they’re against him a million times in million different ways. They’ve failed in their effort to portray Trump as being not plain spoken. They’ve attacked Trump with bogus “fact checkers” for a year, and all that’s happened is that the public judges Trump ahead of Hillary in truthfulness with media fact checkers coming in a distant third. They’ve destroyed their own credibility attacking Trump’s. :lol:

So, Trump is the truth-telling champion of the people, an underdog fighting a corrupt establishment, risking his reputation and wealth to save America ... The evidence is how hard the establishment is fighting him. The harder they fight, the more sure we can be that he is the chosen one. And that, my friends, is a populist wave election.

The dramatic arc points to only one conclusion: complete victory. Epic landslide.
