The American middle classes, the Chinese, and Vladimir Putin have never been convinced that Ivy League degrees, vast Washington experience, and cultural sophistication necessarily translate into national wisdom. Trump instead relies more on instinct and operates from cunning — and we will soon see whether we should redefine “wisdom.”

It appears that our NATO allies are helpless in preventing ISIS from attacking them in their own countries let alone taking ISIS on in Syria.
One street smart New Yorker is superior to ten IVY league law professors.
Wisdom is the ability to identify, expose and neutralize Socialist and Islamic operatives.
Well since psychotic delusion is what passes for progturd wisdom it should be pretty easy.

From what I have witnessed over the last 8 years, I have come to believe that NATO is Behind the Muslim Insurgence and Attacks in an effort to bring about World Government.
They are NOT HELPLESS, they are the SOURCE!
and he DID go to an Ivy League graduate school! But it’s his gut instincts that have taken him to where he is today. Gotta love it.
Don’t know why this thread has a fakenews keyword ... VDH analysis is spot on. As always.
They sure had no trouble bombing Libya and removing Gaddafi from power when he bucked the system.
“and he DID go to an Ivy League graduate school!”
Of course, he didn’t got o Harvard or Yale...so maybe he’s not really “one of them” in their minds.
Either way, I’m glad for him and his experience and street smarts. I think that he’ll turn out to be one of the great Presidents, possibly even better than Reagan (because RR was handicapped by a Dem Congress). Time will tell.
Like a big ANGRY Brown Bear
I hope one of his areas of cunning is a private message to Putin that anything he does to fight Islamic terrorism will be O-K-BY-US! If Putin nukes Mecca, hey... it’s probably wrong, but it’s none of our business.
. . . Finally, Trump sensed that the proverbial base was itching for a bare-knuckles fighter . . . So Trump said the same kinds of things to Hillary Clinton that she, in barely more measured tones, had often said to others but never expected anyone to say out loud to her. And the more the media cried foul, the more Trump knew that voters would cry “long overdue.”
I was initially appalled when Trump announced; I lived in NYS when Trump was a Democrat and not setting an example for the children (e.g., had I known of that “pussygate” tape it would not have surprised me). Considering how much was said of Reagan’s divorce which was her wife’s doing, Trump’s personal history would have entirely a show-stopper as recently as 1992. Thanks, Bill . . .I started out favoring Cruz - and right after I made a significant (for me) contribution, Cruz blundered egregiously. After rightly condemning the violence which prevented Trump’s planned Chicago rally, Cruz criticized Trump in the same breath. Understandable tho the criticism was in the context of Trump’s bareknuckled style, in context of Republicans being physically prevented from peaceably assembling - whatever the purpose - it was gauche.
Ping for later
I do not read NeverTrump trash like National Review or any anti-American ReaganBattalion.com RINO sites.
Trump's instincts are right. NATO is basically a jobs program with no real mission anymore. It's a government funded organization where people drift by until they're ready to retire.
“I do not read NeverTrump trash like National Review”
Neither do most of us.
NR = National Rearend
This is from the National Review, that tried to take Trump out in the primaries?
hypocrits
“As for the rest, after closing off the border, Trump will likely shrug and allow illegal aliens who are working, who have established a few years of residence, and who are non-criminal to pay a fine, learn English, and get a green card — perhaps relegating the entire quagmire of illegal immigration to a one-time American aberration that has diminishing demographic and political relevance.”
