The Ecstasy of Donald Trump
The Atlantic ^ | November 25, 2015 | Molly Ball

Posted on 11/26/2015 6:59:29 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

As the public’s fear and loathing surge, the frontrunner’s durable candidacy has taken a dark turn.

MYRTLE BEACH, South Carolina—All politicians, if they are any good at their craft, know the truth about human nature.

Donald Trump is very good, and he knows it better than most.

Trump stands alone on a long platform, surrounded by a rapturous throng. Below and behind him—sitting on bleachers and standing on the floor—they fill this city’s cavernous, yellow-beige convention center by the thousands. As Trump will shortly point out, there are a lot of other Republican presidential candidates, but none of them get crowds anything like this.

Trump raises an orange-pink hand like a waiter holding a tray. “They are not coming in from Syria,” he says. “We’re sending them back!” The crowd surges, whistles, cheers. “So many bad things are happening—they have sections of Paris where the police are afraid to go,” he continues. “Look at Belgium, the whole place is closed down! We can’t let it happen here, folks.”(continued)

If Leftists didn’t have double standards they would have no standards at all.

None will blame themselves but all are culpable.

I think you’re reading it all wrong.

I got a lot a pleasure and satisfaction out of the article, imagine the mental state of the writer. It’s so nice thinking of him just hanging on by a thread, his entire world view under full frontal attack.

Thanks for posting this.

If a President Trump fights in office like he fights on the Campaign trail, NO HOLDS BARRED, HE WILL STEAMROLL THE OPPOSITION.

America wants a President who fights to win, damn the torpedoes.

Our problem is not all immigrants. Our problem is legal AND illegal immigrants who become a huge burden on tax payers through use of welfare benefits.

Also, 90% of H1-B visa foreign workers work for 60% of prevailing American wages. That not only causes Americans losing jobs, but also lowers American worker’s wages. Most of these H1-B visa workers are employed as computer programmers, but there is no shortage of American computer programmers. That is how the rich donors push for the cheap labor express.

I think you can pretty well tell what type of President Trump will be just by listening to his speeches on his type of Generals; the Military and immigration...

He's a business man that has been self made, and gives to kindness and caring, using the Wounded Warriors, I haven't hear any of the candidates talk from the heart like he does on the Wounded Warriors or the Military and no he doesn't want the world to know what his plans are, he wants to be unpredictable, that's to our advantage...concerning the American people, he will take care of us...his tax plan and medical plan is showing us that..

He has his plans figured out, but is just giving us a taste of what he wants the other candidates to know so they can't take his plans and run with them, just because he has them out, doesn't mean that there is all inclusive...there's more there to come...

He loves the type of work that his women in his business does and has repeatedly said they work harder and better than some of the men, proving he doesn't have a problem with women to lead in major projects...

He is one of the greatest deal makers, if not the best, so what we get when he deals to get America back on Her feet, will be breath taking...

The Atlantic has pulled out all the stops to deliver as many Hillary praise sessions and Trump hit pieces.

Yet another Liberal propaganda rag.

Hillary scares babies

The words indicate that we’ll probably never see the MFM publish articles with a pic of TRUMP under an artificial halo of light or any other facsimile, huh? They are found want to do this. Look at the Won’s campaign photos from years ago. The Ecstasy and the TRIUMPH!

Too bad the old lady didn’t moon them — that would have a hoot.
