The left is genuinely afraid of us.

I'm OK with that.

Could it possibly be that Hillary and her media pets have initiated a scorched earth policy that will result in serious oppression of Trump supporters in the case of her victory?

FU Charlie Sykes! That's why you're quitting your pathetic show because conservatives have abandoned you.

All of what Trump is saying is true. We are at a watershed here folks. If Clinton wins, it's lights out for the U.S.

I for one will never submit to any global or federal authority, and there's a lot of old dogs who aren't going to lie down as well.

Remember, it’s not paranoia if they really are out to get you.

It’s amazing some here have a desire to post the LA Times articles. Ya might as well start posting Univison stories.

Its ALL Trump’s fault. Playing politics by telling the truth and genuinely caring about what he is doing?

Simply appalling to people who continually live their lives as a manipulative lie.

Wiki Leaks are not even finished yet, and look at the media, the talking heads and the radio show hosts....

Axlerod is suggesting she drops the next debate...ROFL...what an election this is!!!

An "awakening" among the citizenry is what the Progressive Left may be observing and fearing.

Read essay entitled, "An Enlightened People. . . ." here.

Trump's "scorched earth" tactics are nothing but a response to the left's escalating assaults on him.

He has refused to play by the "rules" expected of Republicans: Roll over and play dead when the lamestream media makes their "in kind" contributions to the Democrat campaign.

Yup, "scorched earth" is the new meme.

The only things burning are the seared consciences of those doing their best to deny the truth about Democrats that is finally coming out.

Donald Trump, it may be observed, did not write the emails. Nor did he leak and reveal the emails.

All he has done is correctly interpret their meaning in public.

Telling the truth about Democrats is not scorched earth. It isn’t even proverbially setting fire to a house they are in.

But I’m sure the mafia also resents people snitching on them....

I didn’t need Trump to tell me what I already knew. He just forced the cockroaches out into the light and brought Americans together.

Having hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters at the Inauguration of Clinton shouting, “Illegitimate!” and “Bastard President!” would put a chill on the festivities. But hey, we’d see how much the Left really believes in the First Amendment’s free political speech for ALL Americans, not just for the Left.

What the media has been doing is scorched Earth politics. He’s just fighting back.
