Without a doubt, Donald Trump has done the conservative base some tremendous favors recently. He instinctively understands the mood of the country on key issues and is tapping into the anger at all of Washington -- all Democrats, the Jurassic media, the Republican establishment politicians, consultants, lobbyists, and donors, and of course the conservative establishment media as only Donald Trump can do. He is demonstrating that his instincts are superior to most politicians, and he certainly has all the right enemies at the moment.
As a direct result, his poll numbers are surging. There is correlation here.
This is very refreshing. Moreover, it's extremely important. This blunt tone and accompanying fearlessness are exactly what these times call for. It should be a teachable moment to all who are seeking the nomination, although it seems only Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina - who are both predisposed to being blunt - are enjoying it.

Cool.
then maybe post a little more carefully.......because your earlier posts were not made in that vein.
Sounds like we’re on the exact page, SotC ;-)

Amen!

I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather, not screaming all the way to the bottom of the chasm like the passengers in his car.
Assuming a slow death is preferable to a quick one ... “I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!” BG
George Orwell stressed that people who defended totatalitarianism by doing nothing and urging others to do nothing were as bad as the hangmen.
And that’s pretty much what you and others are doing here. Counseling that we do nothing, scolding those who favor action, who like action figures like Trump (”Right or wrong—do something!”) you say, `stay the course’, wouldn’t be prudent, ya da ya da ya da, ya know, the Republicans are holding hands with the Democrats and Planned Parenthood, did you get that newsflash?
Excuse me while I go throw up, and you birds can dry up.
In 2016, there is a better POTUS candidate - Ted Cruz. Voicing that doesn't make one an establishment supporter, which is the usual attack if you make a critical point about Trump.
My Sen Cruz is by NO means a part of the establishment, right?! I pray his numbers start to rise - not sure why they’re not. He’s a good man, trying to do good things for this country. I like the fact that he and Trump seem to be in much agreement, on things. Nothing wrong with that ;-)
Actually, SOTC had the same exact impression I did...he even used “duh” to you...which is extremely strong language for him.
Very good article.
I wonder if anyone is listening...
The thing is that Trump’s a double edged sword, so it’s hard to keep it simple.
C Edmund Wrong is an open border Free Traitor.
No one is listening. There are a few of us who know all this instinctively, but no one else is listening. I think I’m going to catalogue all my warning articles, which go back to 2011 with Trump BTW, and then lay the wood when the inevitable implosion or embarrassment or disappointment occurs.
Til then, screw them in their willful ignorance.
...who is a best selling anti estab author......
You are. Too bad they don’t know you are a Free Traitor.
I support Cruz, and much like Ted himself, I feel no need at all to criticize Trump. The fact that other people claim to support Cruz yet post things critical of Trump all day every day makes it suspicious to me and others it seems. That’s why all critique is falling on deaf ears.
I think one of the surest signs of intellectual immaturity is the constant repetition of a trite little phrase or cliche - in lieu of mature conversation. I bet everyone who bought my best selling book knows I'm probably a free trader, like all the great...ALL THE GREAT....conservative economists have been. You can play your little pampers stained "free traitor" schtick all you want.....it's all you got
The problem I have with you is you never address anything I and other trade patriots bring up, you dodge an obfuscate. Therefore I have no respect for you.
