Trump and the 'wussification' of America
CNBC ^ | September 16, 2015 | Carol Roth

Sure, there will be 11 candidates on stage in the main GOP debate. But millions of people around the country will be tuned in specifically to see one man: Donald Trump.

Much like Ronald Reagan's success was ultimately ignited by the abysmal term of Jimmy Carter, The Donald's momentum is as much a product of timing as it is of him himself. Had he entered the race in 2008 or 2012, he would likely not have had the same impact.

However, in 2015, Americans have fully tired of the political establishment, an overly politically correct culture and the overall "wussification" of America in the international landscape. They are rejecting the government establishment where politicians and their cronies get rich, while the average American just gets by. They are rejecting career politicians trotted out by two parties that give but a mere illusion of choice and democracy. And Donald Trump is the face of this quiet, new American Revolution....

This is right. Trump represents a very important cultural issue that needs to be changed: the hatred and rejection of masculinity which is what “wussification” and political correctness is really all about. Trump represents the re-assertion of manhood which is badly needed in our land. For that reason alone, he is a welcome change.

Well, not sure what that means, but when men are men, the sheep are protected and the people generally stand up to attempted tyranny.

I am just glad someone has got the MSM, the pundits, and the establishment all stirred up. It is also nice to have someone who might actually try to do what he says he will do.

Essentially the “old” American attitude that Trump champions is the same from this Cadillac ad that got everyone pumped a couple of years ago, yet got the same scorn from the people that are going after him now.

America has NEVER liked this wussy knock-off U.S. that Obama pushes, but we needed someone that would be unapologetic in saying it stinks.

The like of Nicole Wallace and Mike Murphy going to advise on how to attack Trump is funny.

It will impress Britt Hume, Megan Kelly and the rest of the RINO Political Class in DC

It starts in the schools. Thanks, female teachers and feminist, man-hater moms like 0bama’s mom. Look what SHE did. This ‘man’ is evil and acting out with utter disdain for everything.
