Ah, now they want to “save us from ourselves.” Didn’t Hitler use a line like that? Anyway, Rothman clearly hasn’t seen the post-debate poll yet.

That is the dude who left hotair. He is so wrong. You’d think they would have learned by now. Gee if I get a polling call I am going to lie and say Trump.

So, I presume that the author really thinks that the establishment choice of the dumbest Bush EVAH....will result in a Republican President?

Actually, could happen, since JEB is simply Hillary light....and only slightly less ugly to boot.

You know, I think that photo must have been taken after the anvil scene.

You know the one, where it’s tossed of the cliff by the Road Runner and falls on the GO... er Wiley Coyote’s head.

How can these writers still print that Trump is over? Haven’t they seen the other idiots lose face saying the same thing for weeks now?

This is downright comical.

I don't think the final chapter has been written quite yet with respect to Trump. He has picked up over 200,000 supporters on Twitter since the beginning of the month, over 30,000 in the past 24 hours alone.

The other big gainers are Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina and Ted Cruz. So Trump appears to be having a positive effect in this race, considering that the MSM guns would be trained on our conservatives if he was not in this race to take the flak.

Perfect summation!

I really like Commentary Magazine and read it frequently. The author makes some good points about the GOPe not supporting Trump, but did not predict the increased poll number for Trump after the debate, so he’s full of it.

I think this guy Noah was at HotAir at one time. He’s an establishment to the core. He made AllahPundit sound like a Freeper.

Sadly, HotAir is now part of the Salem RINO propaganda network.

Trying to read this reminded me of trying to listed to Michael Mudhead on radio. He tries to drown you with words that don’t amount a pile of dust.

Nope! Wrong-oh! Fox was responsible as the hosting network for setting the tone. This isn't about Trump it is about the uniparty, CoC and Marxist media wanting to pick our candidate. Fox had the opportunity of a lifetime to set the standard. Instead they lowered the bar to the MSNBC rung. So long Fox! So long Kelly Megyn, you bloody beach! We'll find a new home! You betcha! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
