Living in this vacuum sucks, but to fill a vacuum, you need something that's over-inflated so as to balance things out.
Enter "The Donald"...to a no so thunderous applause in all the offended places. Wahoo!
Judging by the initial reactions, at this moment, he clearly is the right man for these times and for this insanity.
We'll just have to wait and see how long the moment lasts and if he's big enough to fill the vacuum the progressives have created and will fight tooth and nail to protect.
So far, so good...
We know that already. We like him because he's bringing up the one issue that the Republihacks won't discuss.
He strikes me as a seat of the pants pragmatist who solves problems as they come along, not a policy wonk. Also he would delegate the details to experts. He would assemble a highly competent team.
Also given his history he doesn’t do half ass jobs.
“What is happening today is ANTI-populist. It is conservative, wanting a return to the Constitution, secure borders, the destruction of a Washington elite that has no connection to the majority of people at all, and an end to judicial and executive tyranny.”
THANK YOU, PROFESSOR!!!!
If he shakes up the Other Democrat Party, the GOP, *GOOD*.
The GOP needs to use Hillay’s key tactic. IGNORE THE “MEDIA”!
Yes, maybe the “American free press” will do an expose’ on him and reveal him to be a RAT “secret-agent”.
(more likely we’ll read about it in the foreign press)
And another “thank you.” I appreciate this analysis.
Bob Dole?
John McCain?
Mitt Romney?
Maybe the country NEEDS a pompous ahole to shake things up and cut thru the nonsense
McCain was a pompous a-hole...AND an idiot.
“Trump is like the little kid saying....”the Emperor has no clothes”...”
Good comparison...that kid was enormously needed in that hour! A truth spoken sincerely and forthrightly resonates in the listener.
Interesting. Thanks for the post.
I voted for Bush, but looking back I should have voted for Perot.
The Bush’s are not conservative. They want open borders, how much clearer can they be on that issue.
Even with all his flaws and mistakes, Perot managed to get 20% of the vote. It really shows how sick of the current system many Americans are, including many Democrats.
Donald is the one!
He could take Ted along as veep.
Let Trump and the GOPe have a bloody nasty cockfight (is that something Mexicans do????) and I hope it helps Ted Cruz.
Perot ran as an Independent. Trump is running as a Republican.
What really irks me is these wimpy Republican candidates talking like they speak for us. No, they don’t - they speak for their crony COC buddies. Trump and Cruz are the only 2 speaking for we the people. These limp-wristed Democrat lites, make me sick.
Same rage is evident since Trump attacked Jeb Bush by name before this fight over Amnesty and illegal immigration.
Perot attacked Bush to help Bill Clinton and his popularity got so high he had to drop out in the middle of the general election campaign for several weeks to knock his popular vote down so Clinton would end up the winner of the election.
Perhaps this time the Clintons inserted Trump into the primary process to get the smear and destroy job on Jeb done quickly and early. They fear Jeb and his $$$$ believing conventional political wisdom that a ‘moderate’ is the strongest GOP candidate and biggest threat to Hillary.
Perry and Rubio and the others piling on Trump and trying to take him out have now revealed themselves as Jeb’s defensive tackles.
This can help Ted Cruz in the end and so I support Trump’s First Amendment rights against his enemies and his concern about criminals among the immigrants. But I support Ted because indeed I am suspicious of Trump big time.
The fact that the eGOP is out to get Trump says he’s doing a GREAT job!
I’m exactly on that same page. Yes.
