It may be the Summer of Trump, but the publicity-hungry real estate magnate is not the only Republican presidential candidate relishing all his attention.

Donald J. Trump

“I think this is a temporary loss of sanity,” Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky said on CNN Thursday of Mr. Trump’s support

Is Rand not-so-subtly calling us "crazies"?

No matter. Rand obviously has a case of Beltway Kool-Aid poisoning, and is completely missing the reasons for Trump's ascension.

Trump is Bush’s ace in the hole.

You've really 'made your bed' around here. Just know that eventually you're gonna have to lie in it.

Well, look at whose voters Trump is taking. He isn’t taking Jeb’s RINO voters. I still think Trump may want Bush or Hillary to win, so he is in the race to take the anti-Bush vote in the primaries.

I think we may agree this is known as “psy-ops”.

It isn’t working, but that’s what it is called. :)

Yeah - Jeb can see the “upside” of Trump’s colon as he cranes his neck to gaze upwards at Donald’s receding butt....

Hey Rita,

No, not working. Guess they thought they had it all figured out, 17 candidates splitting up the vote, and Jeberino sneaks through on the Whig plurality. They grossly underestimate the antipathy to the oligarchs.

Think we may finally have them on the run, this time out-— fingers crossed.

I am happy with my bed. Someday you will be denying you EVER supported Trump! It’s so obvious it’s a con, no one will admit it. I guess I’ll have to live with that.

I highly doubt that.

We're in a revolutionary period of American history, which calls for revolutionary leadership of a kind that was present during the founding of our country. Donald Trump, though somewhat flawed as a personality, is just that sort of man.

He's an unlikely hero, but a hero nonetheless, because he's got the guts, courage, and outlook, that are essential to turn our nation away from the brink of complete destruction. There isn't anyone else in the race who comes close to him, where it comes to that.

Win or lose, I'll never regret supporting a man who so forthrightly speaks to the real issues that are plaguing America, the way Donald Trump is.
