As a standard-bearer for conservative ideas, the WSJ is likewise be a catastrophe.
Trump is a conservative? LOL
From another thread:
The elite establishment press is joining forces with the elite establishment politicians to destroy Trump.
Anyone who can read should be able to see this. Of course, they’ll need to be smart enough to read cursive and most voters aren’t.
0bama?
... would have been a disaster as President.
0bama?
His only discernible principle is the promotion of his personal brand.
0bama?
His main message seems to be that because he’s rich black and doesn’t care what anyone thinks, he can afford to tell everyone to go to hell.
0bama?
If you read the Wall Street Journal’s editorials about immigration, you will find them extolling the virtues of immigration and HARDLY mentioning the problems this country faces with ILLEGALS.
This is the same issue I have with such “conservative” columnists as Linda Chavez and Michael Medved.
Wall Street Journal: Cruz’s closeness to Trump reveals ‘lack of character’
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3314189/posts
All too many conservatives, including some magazine editors, have been willing to overlook his hucksterism as he’s risen in the polls.
On the contrary. Most are taking him with a grain of salt given his past. They are merely responding to his willingness to address specific problems and issues.
They pretend that he deserves respect because he’s giving voice to some deep disquiet or anger in the American electorate.
Pretend? What does 'deserving respect' have to do with telling the truth? McCain and Romney 'deserved respect' and failed miserably because they took the coward's way out.
But America has rarely lacked for demagogues willing to exploit public discontents. William Jennings Bryan / Henry Wallace / Strom Thurmond etc.
Ancient history and hypotheticals as logic? Gigot, you are losing it - rapidly.
How, precisely, can someone relating facts be considered a demagogue, especially compared to the nonstop demagogues in the Democratic party?
As a standard-bearer for conservative ideas, Mr. Trump would likewise be a catastrophe. His only discernible principle is the promotion of his personal brand. His main message seems to be that because he’s rich and doesn’t care what anyone thinks, he can afford to tell everyone to go to hell.
And this ability drives the Beltway class insane, because he won't knuckle under, take orders from the Bush/Rove axis, or play the 'I'm sorry' cap-in-hand game demanded by the media.
Some Americans may find it satisfying 16 months from Election Day to tell pollsters they’d vote for him, but that doesn’t mean conservative elites should validate this nonsense.
Ahhhh - the ELITES! The (self-) important people! Now we finally reach the truth. The WSJ under Gigot are barely discernible from David Brooks.
The Wall Street Journal is the mouthpiece of The Cheap Labor Express. They will always slant everything towards amnesty candidates and illegal aliens and especially their employers.
The ever dwindling @WSJ which is worth about 1/10 of what it was purchased for, is always hitting me politically. Who cares!
I honestly think that a lot of Trump’s support is ANTI-GOPe than anything. (I know that’s part of the appeal for me)
Substitute Obama for Trump and the article reads just fine.
The conservative elites the WSJ presents to us as a group whose validation we should be concerned about. Well, they let the cat out-of-the-bag if it has been the bag at all in recent years.
Actually, they validated that they consider themselves the elite and what unacceptable strains of conservatives think not only doesn't matter, but should be silenced.
Apologists? Who is apologizing?
“...he’s rich and...he can afford to tell everyone to go to hell.”
Would that I were.
what its like to whore yourself out to Jebbie , troll?
The Amnesty journal run by Murdoch left wing son attacks the person fighting the invasion of the slave labor the WSJ demands ! Ricky are you a Amnesty bot like this Murdoch rag.
I bet YES.
Paul Gigot is protecting his WSJ job by sucking a lot of globalist scum.
There are many of us who wouldn’t vote Trump for dog catcher, who are still nonetheless appreciative of his ability to speak out on certain untouchable topics without the liberal language shroud.
They blasted Reagan almost identically....It’s really funny. It’s like the same article about Reagan.
