A Golden Nugget Hidden in the Trump Spectacle
American Thinker ^ | July 22, 2015 | Lloyd Marcus

Posted on 07/22/2015 5:26:09 AM PDT by EXCH54FE

I know, I know. As a veteran political activist, I am supposed to be extremely upset with Donald Trump, out there saying what some on both sides of the political aisle consider to be outrageous things.

But folks, I cannot help myself. It is thrilling to watch someone in the arena of ideas not playing the game according to the dictates of the Left. For far too long, our anti-America enemies on the Left have been allowed to set the rules of engagement. The Left dictates what truths we can say out loud, what words we are permitted to use and what is racist or mean.

Please note. I am neither supporting nor opposing Trump's comments. I am celebrating Trump's refreshing unprecedented fearlessness in dealing with the iron-fist out-of-control bullying tactics of the Left/MSM.

I guess it goes back to my childhood living on the mean-streets of Baltimore projects. I detested bullies. They were cowards and mean opportunists. My cousin Jimmy, who loved to fight, taught me the power of a strong military. I was small as a child. When bullies took my lunch money, cousin Jimmy ended the problem. Nothing serious happened, but the bullies knew not to mess with Jimmy's cousin, Peanut (my nickname).

I view the mainstream media and their Leftists partners as the ultimate bullies, whipping Americans into submission, silencing our right to free speech. It sticks in my craw that daring to state an opinion other than the Left's combined consensus on an issue means your derriere is grass.

There's a new sheriff in town. His name is Donald Trump.

I hope you’re right but it keeps creeping into my mind that he’s a plant, a spoiler, trying to disrupt the Republican primary and that eventually he will withdraw and leave a battlefield of broken candidates and clear the way for the Hildebeast.

We have heard this “New Sheriff in town” BS before(There’s a new sheriff in town. His name is “Paul Ryan”/There’s a new sheriff in town. Her name is “Sarah Palin”/There’s a new sheriff in town. His name is “Dick Cheney”/There’s a new sheriff in town. His name is “George W Bush(GAG)”/There’s a new sheriff in town. His name is “Newt Gingrich”) Money TALKS/BULLSH!T Walks. We shall see, after the 1988 Election of Poppy Bush I became from Missouri so “SHOW ME”!

Do you really think she needed anything but the status quo to win by default?

The deadline to register for the first primary is in November. We’ll know then if he’s being straight or playing us.

Oh, c'mon. The only way hillary has a sure win is if the candidate is Jeb. Who's going to vote for Jeb, except those who gave over $100 million to buy the presidency? The candidates Trump is destroying are the ones who followed the dictate to ridicule and marginalize him.

The only thing wrong with this assessment is it should've included establishment sell-out Republicans as part of the group that seeks to control everything.

I like to hear him talk down to the petulant Fraud.

No one else has had the balls to do so.

Maybe ... But, ‘Republicans’ are doing a pretty good job splintering their own party, without the need for instigating from outside.

I'm enjoying seeing the republican establishment getting a good kick in the @ss. The need it. I expect Trump to flame out at some point but at least he's breathing some live into this election.

My thoughts are if he were to do that, he would serious jeopardize his brand, and people won’t want to do business with someone who screwed them. Plus he needs to protect the brand and legacy of his kids who will run his empire after him.

“My thoughts are if he were to do that, he would serious jeopardize his brand, and people won’t want to do business with someone who screwed them. Plus he needs to protect the brand and legacy of his kids who will run his empire after him.”

Makes sense. As the conservatives I’ve talked to have said recently about a possible flame-out based on the past, “He’s never actually declared before”.

For now, I’m enjoying seeing someone FINALLY start actually bashing America’s god-king.

How can a “spoiler” be better than the candidates he is spoiling?????

If he clears the field, then so be it. Most of them are running at or lower than 5% and will not get the money or the air time they need and will drop out soon!!!

The GOP primary is set up to elevate Jebbie to the top.

Most everyone knows it too.

That is the reason Trump is so hated by the GOPe.

He has ruined their plan.

People like Cruz will be kept from the nomination.
