“VDH has been drinking the NR/GOPe Kool Aid. NR has become a pathetic shambling Renfield to the globalists’ Count Dracula.”

The worst POS VDH has ever written. Actually one of the worst POS anyone has ever written.

I don’t want Trump to win, but before he goes, I do want him to change the conversation in this campaign, to the issues that millions of Americans want to talk about, but feel they have no voice with the current lame batch of politicians running for POTUS.

There is one big difference between Obama and Trump.

Trump really did build that!

“Comparing Trump to a white hating, U.S. Citizen hating, American Patriot hating, African Marxist is beyond the pale. Hanson is writing for the establishment DC lawyers from the NE, nothing else.

Nailed.

He might be doing just that...

My concern is whether he will run third party if, say, Cruz or Walker win.

I truly believe during his (7 LONG YEARS in office) Obama has amassed a fortune that would rival that of Trump.
I can only imagine “the payoffs and the ripoffs and the things nobody saw,” of which he has benefited greatly.
Obama’s fortune is well-hidden, but you can be SURE that it does exist.

NRO elites are in a panic

The NRO collaborators will no longer get invited to all the right DC

VHD has some good points but it's nice to have someone (1) speak out so brashly what most of the nation is thinking and (2) be a cheerleader for the most benign Super Power ever.

A few days ago I posted the following:

Obama is the Anti-Trump.

Most of his wealth and the wealth of other traitors in the executive branch, is derived from selling security secrets and industrial espionage to our enemies. Make no mistake about it.

VDH is a socon of the first order. Don’t know if he is neocon, though.

Excellent piece, VDH, and the last line? Perfect!

There is no need to elect Donald Trump; we’ve already had six years of him.

The differences between them are galactical.

1. Trump is an American. Barry Soetoro is not.

2. Trump is a Christian. Soetoro is a terrorist-excusing muslim.

3. Trump believes in the original Founding Principles and the Constitution. Soetoro despises our Founding Fathers, Founding Principles and the Constitution.

4. Trump loves the 2nd Amendment. Soetoro loathes it.

And so on, ad infinitum.

The NRO (which fired John Derbyshire, never let it be forgotten) can shut up. We’re not quite as stupid as they think or as they’d like. Many of us know Trump is a limelight-seeker, and a blowhard, but he’s blowing hard to the right people. Knowing all of this won’t make me vote for Yeb or any other GOPe candidate, no matter what.

I have always understood Trump is pro-abortion. He is also a big fan of corporate welfare. I have been shaking my head wondering why so many people think he's a conservative just because he went on a rant about immigration.

He is also dangerous. If he doesn't get the nomination he might pick up his marbles and do a Perot - which is one of the few ways I can see Hillary winning the election.

Two parties. The uniparty and one formed by Trump and Cruz

I just checked and he said he has taken Reagan’s stand after knowing a man who wanted to abort but didn’t and the child is phenomenal. Okay with child sacrifice with rape, incest, and life of mother threatened.

Trump may be okay with that, but God isn’t.
