You know, we've had a media which is primarily owned by the Left, which has been dictating to many uninformed voters how to vote for a number of years. Consequentially, Conservative candidates have been labeled “extreme” creating an illusion that moderation is desirable.

Well, moderation has a horrible track record producing candidates like McCain and Romney, or, candidates who lose Presidential elections.

With Trump, I believe his appeal is rooted in his willingness to take on the Leftist media and the PC crowd, something we haven't seen since Ronald Reagan.

Now, I'm not saying Trump is similar to Reagan, just that the lesson here is having a spine is actually a way to appeal to voters, likely even the uninformed.

In reference to Megyn Kelly, the phrase “War on Women” is a Democrat talking point and a phrase she used without attributing it as such. What does that say about her?....and now Walker is racing to support her?

To me, Walker has been exposed.

Thanks for pointing that out. Her question was really weak in that she tagged "War on Women" to the end to make it sound as though she was asking him about an relevant issue. The WoW is about equal pay, the Glass Ceiling, women's health and time off for maternity leave, not about name calling. That is a sexual harassment issue. She could not tie that question to harassment because (AFAIK) Trump has never been sued for harassment. I think we'd know about it if he had. Plus, he has some very high-profile, successful and dynamic women in his family who certainly would be distancing themselves if was a chauvinistic pig. The media tried to snare him with the ex-wife's divorce deposition but she immediately came out to say it wasn't true.

And the years have passed.

And I look back in disgust at my support of these......unmentionables.

so, enough already.
