Their tie to him is almost mystical. He’s a kind of political savior, someone who says what they think.”

Myself and many others sincerely hope that Trump DESTROYS the current structure of the ‘red party” which has evolved into a shade of ‘blue’.

The first two paragraphs are verbatim from her National Review article, and the theme the same.

She's trolling conservative spots to get paid by words?

What we see happening with Donald Trump is a tried and true method to rid the elites of a candidate or a proposition, etc. It is also done to young impressionable college students by their left-wing professors. The important people tell us, over and over again, using every tool available, in every so-called reasonable way they can think of, that smart intelligent responsible people do not support this ridiculous candidate or proposition. Plus, it is downright unfashionable! Only the uneducated backward fools think this way or support this candidate/proposition. Surely you don't want to be one of THEM do you? You are a reasonable person, right? Hence we see such important questions as just who is Obama being laughed away, as only idiotic unreasonable conspiracy nuts would wonder about this! And now we see this with Donald Trump, we are getting it from every direction, the same message in varying forms, over and over, insultingly telling us in every way that they can think of, that we are just foolish, stupid, maladjusted, crazy, out of it, nut cases and of course reasonable men and women could not possibly support Donald Trump. See it for what it is, don't listen, just think for yourselves. There are some issues with Donald Trump, of course, look at those issues, and evaluate them against the good he could do. In the end, if you can just disregard the noise all about you, you may very well come to the conclusion that Donald Trump, despite his human imperfections, really can effect some very positive changes and is very best chance we have of doing so. Granted, he may not, but we KNOW that Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, etc., are the status quo and with them things will only get worse, albeit maybe not quite as quickly with Bush as with Hillary.

Mona, you are lost. Trump is winning because we have identified the media, the Republican party and “expert” analysts like you as those destroying our country. Google the lyrics of were not gonna take it by Twisted Sister. Trump exits the stage to this song. It will explain it in terms simple enough for a person with a degree in journalism.

The conventional "wisdom" of "conservative" punditry appears to be: anyone not part of the professional political class is a dangerous, narcissistic autocrat. We actually heard this very criticism made of Cruz -- the most articulate and careful of all Constitutionalists in the Republican field -- literally years before Trump came on the scene.

This is ironic, given that there is probably no more self-entitled, self-important oligarchy than the one currently running what is supposed to be a conservative party. It becomes even more ironic when one considers that this self-important -- but altogether ineffectual -- leadership was supposed to be a check on the runaway power of the current administration that Charen decries.

Spot on article about Obama....

I have no idea how Trump applies here...
