Trump is reflecting the American silent majority, that is why.
I saw the interview, the answer Hannity gave Beck is that Americans are madder than hell and that only Trump has the $$$ and guts and smarts to kick their butts .
That that outweighs a few liberal positions.
I miss Becks 5pm show.
Not going to support Trump.
Then stay stuck at your impasse Beck and shut the hell up!
But, at the moment, he seems to be the clear front runner among those at least willing to talk about our issues and not take a special delight in poking us in the eye with a sharp stick like other GOP "leaders" including Jeb, Boehner and McConnell.
Fifty percent of Republicans (to include Tea Party folks and Independents)...have lost faith with the national party of the Republicans. It’s nothing personal, just that they don’t believe the chat-topics, getting-things-done-rhetoric, bogus-we-will-fix-things statements, or bold new world gimmicks. It doesn’t work.
You can even send the Fox News crowd out, and people have gotten so bright and clever over the past five years....that they won’t believe half the stuff that Fox News says now.
The bottom line? They want to fire the insiders. They think Trump will do it. I’m not a Trump supporter but I can see the frustration here, and it’s not limited to Republicans. I’d take a guess that twenty-percent of all Democrats now feel frustrated and just won’t go with the typical messages that the news media hands out.
He doesn’t understand why trust is not especially relevant. This is a point of view that imbues government WITH trust. He wants to trust government. This is completely lame and a low-intellect position. Of all the things that have been proven, decisively, government is not worthy of trust. Indeed, the Founders knew this. This is why they set up checks & balances. To extract every single nuance from all things a candidate on the campaign trail says is an exercise in futility and is a naive, simplistic viewpoint. Because Congress, except in the case of 0bama, does not give the pres everything he wants. The electorate has come to understand that every one of these SOBs is a liar.
And that’s why I think Beck is a slug.
Insightful. I want to believe, I really truly with all my heart want to believe. Yet the ghosts of 1992 and 1996 linger.
I just heard somebody on Beck saying nowadays, with the elections the Dems already have 48% of the vote, in that general range. I don’t know if it is that high but it sure is bad for a national vote. 70 years of entitlements.
Trump is tapping into peoples anger at the current political climate.
The same political climate that most of those angry voters have voted for.
Trump is a real smart guy who really has nothing to lose.
I just wonder about exactly which Donald Trump will emerge after the election, if he is elected.
For once Glenn and I agree about something. Of course I don’t understand why conservative trust Glenn either, but he’s got a point this time.
Trump is for (and is apparently the only majority candidate in either party for) Americans making things in America once again.
Every year we export ever more formerly American jobs to Communist China, where Americans cannot immigrate, nor own majority control of any company.
Our bilateral trade deficit is now 342 billion / year, and STILL GROWING. Yet Americans cannot even own companies in China. It is all Chinese-majority. American cannot go there to live. Americans are the foreigners, yet we continue to think there is nothing about American businesses which we should support.
Yet nobody is saying that building up China and tearing down America is a bad thing.
Nobody.
Not in the GOP. Not in the democrat party. Everyone is silently watching our own country being sold ever-further down the river.
Except now, Donald is saying that.
Donald Trump.
Alone, among generations, is saying America should be for America once again.
That is so welcome to hear.
Has there been any statements from Cruz campaign on what he will do with 40mil? I get it No Amnesty & border enforcement but any more detail?
If Trump starts dropping conservative names in Team-building at the WH then we really know he means it.
Right now I’m elated at his immigration stance.
They promised, promised, to repeal obamacare and fight him at every step of the way.
They didn't even try.
What have we got to lose by voting for an outsider?
The insiders have PROVEN they will stab us in the back and laugh at us the whole time.
For the life of me I cannot understand why we should care what Beck, Vanity, Coulter, Krauthammer, or any of them think.
