My brother, Rush, said on his program Thursday that Donald Trump, in taking the fight directly to President Obama, has provided a winning blueprint for defeating him in 2012.
Rush was referring to the way in which Trump -- think what you will about him and his politics -- has boldly challenged President Obama on a number of issues, including the notorious birth certificate fracas, obviously unconcerned about fallout from the liberal media.
The issue here is not Obama's birth certificate; it is Trump's aggressive, offensive posture in challenging Obama across the board. He rightly recognizes that America's financial condition is in shambles and contends that Obama's incoherent approach to foreign policy is making the U.S. a laughingstock in the international community.
Trump is not my candidate for a number of reasons, including that I don't believe he's been reliably conservative over the years, but I have no doubt that Republicans can learn great lessons from his direct, fearless approach.

What you have said is profoundly true. Very nicely said.
If there is truth to the words, “we get the leaders we deserve” in this Republic, I can accept that. Now, however, so many do sorrow for having trusted in men in the first place instead of their Maker, and in a particular man to our regret as a nation. Perhaps this newfound wisdom of our foolishness will guide our trust to its proper place, and we will then come to deserve a better leader when its time.
The USA is bankrupt.
Trump has successfully pulled companies through bankruptcy.
His idea about taxing wealth in lieu of the death tax is simply brilliant.
I am starting to like him, regardless of his past donation activity.
Anti-Trumpers who are focused on conservative "ideology" should keep in mind what happened in Michigan in the 2010 Governor's election. Two Conservative Republicans, both generally acceptable to the Tea Party, lost in the Primary to a Republican businessman, who's ideological drive was almost non-existent but who was most identified with the ability to apply business principles to government management. The businessman then went on to an overwhelming victory in the general election - in Michigan folks, Michigan. I think the pollsters will be very interested in the Michigan Republican presidential polls.
“... there’s nothing necessarily wrong with that”
I agree with your entire post.
