The avalanche has started, it’s too late for the pebbles to squeal.

Woo-Hoo!

Between Jonah Goldberg and drama queen Karl Rove, I’m all but convinced that Mr. Trump is precisely the right candidate!

Anti trump sentiment of the anti semite pro Obama media fools who hate America and it’s Constitution as much as the democrats hate it.

“he has pledged to repeal and replace Obamacare with traditional market programs”

Where/when did he pledge this? I heard I’m at the debate talking about the wonderful Canadian single payor system. That was not a “gotcha.” That was an unforced error.

Goldberg is your typical example of the kind of person who loves the left and drinks to himself regularly. A big mouth bs man is what I see.

"...catharsis masquerading as principle,"

Isolated inhabitants of the beltway bell jar seldom understand that there will be times when one rises above principle to do the right thing.

Nope. We’re just fed-up, POd, done with loser purist BS artists. We’re realistic Americans. We tried that other pseudo purist, lesser of two evils snow job. No more! It’s Trump or stay home!

OK, how is he going to do all that? Details matter. Will he compromise (negotiate) with Democrats? Will he give them some things they want (Funding of Planned Parenthood, a moderate choice for the USSC?) in exchange for their votes on some of the things he wants?

The fact of the matter is, you don’t know how (or if) he will do all those things, since he has presented a detailed plan on nothing, except for immigration. And on that, he has promised modified amnesty (deport them, then have an expedited policy to bring them back).

[Trump is not a conservative. I don’t think he is calling himself one. He happens to be right on several issues, and so far is convincing that he will actually come to grips with them. That alone puts him head and shoulders above the pack, and sets him in opposition to the Geriatric Old Plotters who will maintain the status quo as long as they can draw benefits from it, and who will helicopter off just as the roof caves in on US.]

Bravo, well stated and so very true! Trump, if he does what he says he will do, will be the best conservative the conservatives had since Ronald Reagan, an ex democrat turned conservative was in his day. Cause the Congressional idiots are both liars and cowards and thieves, same as their democrap buddies.

[All these precious pictures of offended dignity sputtering on and on about the slivers in Donald Trump’s eye when they and their GOP-e friends are all walking about with freakin’ fenceposts sticking so far out of both sockets that they can’t get their cocktail glasses up to their lips.
Hypocrites.]

You say well.

He certainly is heading in that direction and it will get better or worse the closer we get to IOWA.

People tend to react to Trump as if he was a carnival clown out of the hustings. They forget that he has had a successful career as a businessman, an entrepreneur, a manager of large corporate bodies and billion dollar projects, and probably other accomplishments, which no other candidate has ever done since Herbert Hoover.

We see the results of Obama, who couldn't manage a lemonade stand; Hillary, who can't manage her own emails; GW Bush who despite his Harvard MBA couldn't mount a decent defense of his own administration; and so it goes with "seasoned" politicians.

Cultists aren’t rational.

The visceral hatred exhibited by your “typical” Trump cultist toward anyone pointing out the flaws in his candidacy remind me of foaming at the mouth radical leftists.

Goldberg hit it right on the nose.
