Apples and oranges.
Except:
Pat was the most anti-Israel Republican I can think of.
Pat knows nothing about basic economics.
Pat has probably never been outside the Beltway.
Pat has never done anything useful other than talk.
Talk is NOT action!
More bs from beltway pundits. NR will depend on liberals to stay viable after 2015.
Now for more real news why Trump is kicking asses across America and in the Beltway.

Why Donald Trump Dominates GOP Race: He Has A Bold Agenda And His Opponents Don’t (Steve Forbes)

DONALD TRUMP’S CONTINUING surge in the polls has left his GOP opponents flummoxed and floundering. Some are trying to sound like mini-Donalds. Jeb Bush garnered eye-rolling publicity by referring to “anchor babies” from Asia, as well as Latin America, and muttering about the need for a crackdown. (How? By requiring a pregnancy test for every woman who visits the country and a forced trip to Planned Parenthood if she tests positive?) Scott Walker says we should cancel China’s strongman Xi’s upcoming trip to the U.S. to show our displeasure with Chinese foreign and economic policies. That’ll show ‘em!
And on it drearily goes. One would never know that Trump’s rivals have substantive records in politics, business and/or medicine. Instead they come across as high-pitched miniature dogs, pathetically yapping at an unassailable alpha dog.
They have only themselves to blame for Trump’s steadily increasing lead. Why? Because these veterans of the public square violated the first law of politics: They let Trump set the agenda. There was a vacuum in both policy and, astonishingly, searing criticism of Barak Obama (in the recent debate there were a few passing whacks at Hillary Clinton but hardly a mention of Obama). If you’d asked anyone before Trump’s roaring entrance what the other 16 GOP presidential aspirants stood for, at best you might have elicited a few mutters but no real enthusiasm. Everyone was just waiting for things to unfold. None of the 16 had firmly identified themselves.
Then, like a thunderstorm on steroids, came The Donald, and ever since the 16 have complained that they can’t be heard.
I voted for Pat Buchanan for President. I’m enjoying Trump’s run, but I hope that he isn’t the nominee. I’m still looking for Cruz, Jindal, or Santorum. I want a solid social conservative. Still enjoying the GOP-e getting it in the eye, though.
Hell no they're not and its not. We're speeding towards disaster.
I also see similarities to Jesse Ventura, Ross Perot, and Arnold S.
NRO checks in with its daily anti-Trump screed. Thanks, GOPe! Now go screw yourself.
Trump is not a culture warrior or an anti-Semite and he’s far, far more successful at this point in his run than Buchanan ever was.
Another failed attempt by the NR weenies to smear Trump.
First of all, I don't think Bush had any major challengers in 1992 except for Pat Buchanan. Even still, Bush won every single primary and caucus by a landslide. Buchanan only got the attention he did because he was the only main challenger. I think New Hampshire was Buchanan's best showing and it was all downhill from there.
Then we had that Ross Perot excitement during June and July.
Trump leading virtually every early poll by a wide margin in a 17-man race is clearly unprecedented and can in no way be compared to Pat Buchanan's 1992 run.
Buchanan, in his wildest dreams, was never as popular as Trump.
I actually liked Pat...
get real...
I don't think he is anti-trade, but he, as I see it, is for fair-trade. Too many, if not all, of our trade agreements make the U.S. the patsy.
TALK DOES NOT COOK RICE,
Trump is not even anti-immigration.
Heck, I think he is SOFTER on illegals than the press makes him out to be.
He’s actually giving these illegals a way to RETURN after they leave.
The media, particularly television media, are entranced by Trump’s every utterance, much as they once were with Buchanan’s fiery public pronouncements.
Stick to fiction writing, Jim.
