Trump won because he was not THE ESTABLISHMENT. They hate that.

Absolutely. There is only one party: the government party. And its membership extends beyond elected officials to pundits on the left and right, all of whom attend the same cocktail parties and make their living either directly or indirectly from the American taxpayer.

Trump got lucky.

Competent, smart, hard working people make their own luck.

100%. 'The Establishment' is what most people are sick of, even the Bernie leftists and BLM. It's pretty much a universal disdain, albeit for different reasons, BUT NONETHELESS.

During DEBATES, if Trump keeps hammering that Hillary represents THE ESTABLISHMENT as an ENTRENCHED GLOBALIST POLITICIAN for decades, she is DEFENSELESS on this count.

Nobody remembers Wendell Willkie...he was a businessman, not a politician (1940 Republican nominee).

Rich Lowry seems a bit angry over this development.

Too bad.

The writer is explosively besharting himself over Trump. Excellent!

They are terrified to admit the truth.

If Trump pulls off a victory this November (and I believe he will) he will go down as perhaps the greatest political strategist in he history of humanity.

We’re going to need extra space of Mount Rushmore - the man is going to be the President this country has been waiting for since Washington

There is the ruling class, those with their hands out for free sh!t at everyone else’s expense. And then there’s the rest of us.

If Trump were to prevail, it would make Barack Obama’s unlikely rise from unknown state senator to first African-American president of the United States in about four years look like a boringly conventional political trajectory.

Barack Obama had no experience at anything, and was installed basically as an affirmative action president. He still has not accomplished anything noteworthy, although with his inexperience and bias has managed to do a lot of harm.

Trump has oodles of experience out in the real world. We do not need people who are experienced at being career politicians, as the author of this screed implies. We need people who have real world experience, who instinctively understand how career politicians can destroy everything they touch through a combination of hubris and complete inability to identify with ordinary people. We need more people like Trump, and fewer career politicians.

Lowry should look in the mirror after what he’s done to NR.

On a side note, there are all these youtube videos that have been out there for a year or more that say the US is going to collapse on September 27th.

I always like to get a good chuckle out of them, and then I realized the debates are the day before. Could they spark it? ;-)

They still don’t get it. WE WANT to unleash a bull in a china shop. We are tired of the status quo. We are tired of endless corruption. We are tired of the elite forcing their agenda on us and ignoring what we want. We are tired of endless lies and empty promises. If Trump means the complete collapse of the existing political system and destruction of both leading political parties, well, that’s just icing on the cake.

>>If you aren’t seriously contemplating the biggest black swan event in American electoral history, you aren’t paying attention.

Lowry has no clue what a “black swan event” is.
