Great find. Sometimes I don't get Bill Donohue but this is right on the mark. The comments below the article reflect that too.

“The biggest mistake that Republicans can make — many are already talking about it — is to try to unseat Trump at the convention. That would ignite a backlash the likes of which the elites have never seen.”

And yet the bastards don’t seem to care. There needs to be a concerted effort to drive ALL sitting Congressmen out of office, starting with Ryan and Scrotum Neck! We’d be doing better picking our reps with a dart board.

And those people are fools.

So the tyrant wears a different wig.

Sigh..

Trump is a bad joke.

His appeal is all about one issue— illegal immigration. The elites shot themselves in the foot over and over again over illegal immigration. Trump is the only one who has any credibility on illegal immigration. But I am not sure it’s enough to get him elected President. And if he does get elected then he better deliver on that issue or there is going to be hell to pay.

Will I am one of those white collar working stiffs. Rejected by Harvard, but only after I has accepted where I really wanted to go, worked for wages all my life, now living off social security and some small pensions. Maybe it is because I worked for some real leaders over the years, that I know one when I see one, and Donald J. Trump is a real leader. Better yet, he wants to lead in the right direction! How good is that?

The GOPe of today reminds me of the sell out hack in the movie, “They Live”.

And the GOPe would never deign to watch that film, let alone stand for a comparison to anything in it.

The socialist communist globalist uniparty leaders are not wanted in the 21st century. They killed enough people in earlier centuries.

Trump waggles shiny things in one hand and threatens to punch you with the other then declares his is the king when you take the shiny thing.

I cannot reduce the equation further.

BTW, illegal immigration could not be a more conservative issue.

OK, maybe they didn’t get it at first, or didn’t realize how much people hated them. But, by now they have been told over & over again why Trump is appealing. There have been numerous articles pointing out Trump’s appeal. So I’m thinking at this point they just don’t want to “get it” or they just don’t care about us & wish we would go away. Hopefully, if Trump or Cruz are elected, they won’t turn around and stab us in the back like all the other GOP candidates we have elected.

Wow I’ve just gotten my respect for Donahue back. I’m a Catholic League member and he has ticked me off several times, but this is very refreshing.

That is why I have no hesitations in supporting Trump.

If we elect an establishment Republican we will get screwed.

If we elect a democrat we will definitely get screwed.

If we elect Trump we might be pleasantly surprised.

Easy choice.

The conservative pundits and movers and shakers in the GOP oppose Trump because they are paid by to keep The Cheap Labor Express running.

They do not care that the citizens want the flooding of their country with foreigners to stop. Their job has been to propagandize.

It’s not just the working class the establishment doesn’t understand. It’s also the entrepreneurial class, the patriotic class and the rule-of law class.

Trump also takes heat from the “Conservative values” crowd, and this is understandable, though somewhat misguided in my opinion. The reason I say this is that there is a time and a place to emphasize weakening government, and this is not it. Right now America needs to stand tall against the insidious forces of globalism that seek to destroy our beloved nation through eradication of borders, usurpation of our national sovereignty in trade, negation of America through unconstitutional treaties (e.g., global warming, TPP, Iran etc.), weakening of our military (gays and treating women same as men), deliberately destroying our economic system in so many ways (carbon taxes, creation of dependency classes, etc.), and of course endless political correctness in the service of international socialism.

THERE ARE TIMES when the NATION NEEDS TO BE STRENGTHENED, even in the government sphere.

EXHIBIT A: The founders fought to create a stronger central government.

EXHIBIT B: The Civil War was fought to avoid the disintegration of our central government.

EXHIBIT C: NOW—when the insidious forces of globalism attempt to destroy our nation from within and without.

The basic Trump plan is to drastically strengthen the American nation, in part by SHRINKING TAXES. But also, with a WALL, and with TARIFFS. Notwithstanding the whining of some talk radio people, he is essentially saying: FREE ENTERPRISE IS THE AMERICAN THING. We will use it to our own advantage, thank you very much.
