When Donald Trump first burst on the political scene two months ago as a presidential candidate, many of the analysts, commentators and pollsters who populate cable news programs, the so called “experts,” claimed it was all a publicity stunt. Then, they said he would never release his financial statements. Then, they said his controversial comments about Mexican illegal immigration, Senator John McCain and Fox News Host Megyn Kelly would doom his campaign. Now, they are saying his lead cannot continue for his support has a “ceiling” and his campaign is a flash in the pan. Unfortunately for the “experts,” they are completely wrong on every one of these issues. Trump is solidifying his lead and is not going away, even though the liberal media and the Republican establishment wishes that he would disappear. Trump is upsetting their plan for the GOP to nominate another moderate candidate, such as former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, and, once again, lose to the Democrats.

a succession of Fox News analysts such as columnist George Will, commentator Charles Krauthammer and consultant Karl Rove have lampooned Trump as either a clown or someone who is too bombastic to be taken seriously. They believe that his tactics and message are actually harmful to the Republican Party and that other candidates are more electable. Once again, it seems the so-called “experts” are wrong and, in fact, the real clowns are the commentators who have been on television too long and live in the Washington D.C. bubble. They are also not objective for George Will’s wife works as a consultant for Governor Walker and Rove, who has a long history of working for the Bush family, is obviously for Jeb Bush.

Will & Rove need to be frog marched out the nearest door
Biased Experts Look Foolish cause they are foolish.. DUH..
Thats not hard.. hell just being a democrat is foolish..
Hard to say but being a republican means you ain’t too bright either..
So does George.
I’m not quite clear what the “intellectual elite” is. I know academia tends to get stuck in its own quagmire and there is pressure in academia to conform and that conformity is always Left leaning. But whatever the intellectual elite is, I think George Will and Charles Krauthammer show themselves to be a part of it.
Trump being Trump is outing a lot of politically correct garbage that stinks and needs to be outed and thrown away.
I'm seriously offended that they'll try to force-feed us Jeb when they have to know it means they'll lose the election. If the competition is hillary, maybe, but most US citizens will be disgusted with both political parties if that happens.
George Will:
1. Didn’t like Ronald Reagan in 1980
2. Did like Obama in 2008
TRUMP IS RIGHT.
All the more proof that an evil incestuous cabal rules this nation and must be taken down before it is too late. Trump may be the one to do it.
That was Jeb's "Santorum Moment" for me.
Never Forget!
FOX “News” Panel are all picked .... and bought by Rove
and Romney and Soros.
How dare they purport to be non-biased !!
No one knows what the future holds for Trump.
However, at the moment he has some mighty BIG MO.
Yeb, listen to your Mama.
Trump is making a lot of FReepers look foolish too, just sayin...
But it happens every election cycle. People always convince themselves Lucy won’t pull the football THIS time.
Trump’s whole campaign is based on warning people about Lucy..
I’m offended by these ‘pundits’ on a daily basis. When they say we’re just having a tantrum cuz we’re mad, we’re too simple to grasp the complexities of a Presidency, we’re too caught up in Trump’s celebrity to see clearly, and the list goes on.
I can’t believe that they get by with insulting us rapid fire yet wet their pants if someone says anchor baby.
Mr Trump has blew their little bull$hit game right out of the tub.
Honestly, I don't think that Donald Trump has began to scratch the surface, in terms of striking an even stronger chord with Americans
“..No one knows what the future holds for Trump...”
That is right, and the Washington “elitists” are scared to death of him because he has the ability to move in ANY direction with power, learn anything he needs to know, and buy anyone he needs for winning advice.
That has the political fools changing their underwear at a frequent interval....because it makes them look as useless and owned as they are.
It’s almost like they sit around in short pants eating Fig Newtons and sipping ginger ale. Donald Trump has really put the hurt on these people and they don’t even know what hit them yet. Meanwhile, clouds scud across an otherwise blue sky on a perfect summer day as a Lee Hazlewood & Nancy Sinatra albums plays on the stereo.
