Any day now, Donald Trump may walk back his Monday call for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.”

Debra, Debra, Debra! We hardly knew you! Now we know that the decline and fall of the United States of America is just fine with you. You only wanted it to happen under a Republican administration.

Trump is admirable in some ways and questionable in other ways. Character is an issue. To point that out has nothing to do with being a RINO.

I think Trump's strength is he speaks his mind. This is viewed as a fault the political class.

The political class has been so manipulated and managed by a Leftist media machine for decades that they are brainwashed to run everything thru the standard PC filter before they speak. The average politician is so busy trying to figure out what the “right” thing to say is they end up sounding weak and doltish. Trump just says what is on his mind. I think a lot of Trump support comes from the novelty of having a political leader speak honestly and openly. To the Political class, this too is error. To them the “correct” way is their way of measure platitudes, empty slogans and balanced, passionless “tone” . Their reaction to hearing Trump is to get physically ill at his “incorrect” behavior.

It is interesting to note that Trump is being reacted to much the same way the DC Political class reacted to Rush Limbaugh when he started out. His “tone” was all wrong, his ideas “nutty”.

I cringe every time I hear Trump speak too. 35 years of political conditioning causes in me a physical reaction to the “incorrect” tone and style he uses. But if you work past that conditioning, the fundamental points Trump is making are sound.

We MUST, for the survival of our country, move past the “business as usual” political mindset and start fundamentally questioning all our knee jerk assumptions and conditioning. We must start asking “why are we doing this” “is this the right answer”?

The DC Political/media machine reaction to Trumps comments this week indicate that they are fundamentally incapable of thinking outside their PC mindset. Their arguments about “Freedom of Religion” and “Constitutionality” indicates both a pretty shocking ignorance and an inability to think beyond their PC conditioning and look for real solutions.

The Political Establishment is so busy having fits about Trumps “tone” they are missing the message his wide spread, growing support is sending them.

There must be deep, far reaching, fundamental change in the political class defiantly corrupt, inept, incompetent “Business as usual” performance.

IF the Political Class will not fix the problem, the voters will be sending people to DC who can do that for them.

Does anyone think that Trump is anywhere near being a conservative?

Obama promised to ‘fundamentally change America’ that is a promise he has kept....no one believed him or wanted to believe he is changing America to a Socialist-Marxist type of government....Trump as asked for fairness....the GOP had better listen to him. He keeps his word....he is 98% correct in his pronouncements...true he embroiders more than necessary, but fact/truth is there.

And somehow she thinks her words are actually worth something. Just another egotist posing as a journalist.
