The Donald Trump phenomenon is a riotous union of candidate ego and voter id. America's most skilled political entertainer is putting on the greatest show we've ever seen.
It's so fun to watch that it's easy to lose sight of how terrifying it really is.
Trump is the most dangerous major candidate for president in memory. He pairs terrible ideas with an alarming temperament; he's a racist, a sexist, and a demagogue, but he's also a narcissist, a bully, and a dilettante. He lies so constantly and so fluently that it's hard to know if he even realizes he's lying. He delights in schoolyard taunts and luxuriates in backlash.

To libs evil can only come from this source. This means that the state cannot possibly be too strong, as the state is what protects everyone else from these "monsters"--literally the only thing in existence standing between everyone else and hanging from a lamppost. Yes, they actually believe that. (What Karl Marx, who advocated the "withering away" of the state, would think of this, I don't know.)
I believe it was Old Righter Albert J. Nock who wrote the book Our Enemy, the State. A liberal counterpart would probably be entitled Our Enemy, the Cracker.
You’re right. SHAME has been the key weapon used by the left since Vietnam.
With Trump, their favorite toy has been smashed.
Nice post.

Ezra Klein, that figures. He organized the “journOlist” back in 2007 and 2008, made up of about 300 “journalists” and bloggers who were actively campaigning for 0bama while pretending to be legitimate reporters. This is the same pile of scum who savaged Palin in 2008, and kept after her all the way to 2012.
Is Ezra Klein related to Joe Klein? I noticed an article by Joe Klein claiming that Trump supporters were dangerous people.
BTW, Dana Milbank, whose anti-Trump articles appear on FR quite often, was also a “JournOlist” member. So, take anything he says with a huge dose of salt.
Trump exemplifies the feeling among Americans our country is in decline, our values are being lost and our economy and health care system are in the crapper - and we’re no longer No. 1. anymore.
And he offers to revive the greatest country on earth. That’s a potent message to hear after we’ve been told by Obama, Clinton and Sanders there’s nothing exceptional about America, that we should get used to it. The GOP establishment has become comfortable with it.
Trump and Americans with him are not comfortable with it; they want America back and they’re willing to storm the barricades to see it happen. We’re seeing a revolution underway and what happened last night in NH was its opening act.
No wonder the Left and Right alike are terrified to death by the rise of Trump.
What? No guillotines?
I must have missed that part.
The more the media (NY Daily News, Huffington Post, “vox”, or any of these types) tell me NOT to vote for Candidate X...makes me WANT to vote for Candidate X.
I’ve been listening off and on throughout the morning and I caught nothing but Rubio support as a conservative and Trump bashing minus his ability to draw people from everywhere.
IMHO Populism stands a better chance of winning than Conservatism, as many voters no longer trust Conservatism thanks to Mitch, Cryin’ John, and the rest of the go-along-to-get-along Bailout Gang.
Trump exposes the fake conservatives every time they come out and support Trump over Cruz.
Boner and Ditch never advocated for conservatism. Did you not notice the Tea Party was created to primary RINOs like them out? See Dave Brat vs. Eric Cantor.
Libs don’t even have to look across the aisle to be quaking in their boots.
They have two choices:
Hillary “C-Block” Clinton
Sanders Claus
‘nuff said
Rush is doing it in a sneaky way but yes even he is against or afraid of Trump!
And especially who he Fires!!!
Are you kidding ? Did you forget the (/s) ???
Rush’s audience is not dumb. He’s not being sneaky enough.
After 8 years of an incompetent community organizer as president and decades of poor representation by so-called “conservative” career politicians, I’m angry and I’m willing to live a little dangerously with Donald Trump.
