It’s not conservatives who are the snobs, but most Republicans.
I am a blue collar bum and I get it.
I dont like glad handing goombahs
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 don’t care that the citizens want the flooding of their country with foreigners to stop.
Their job has been to propagandize.
And we’re so sick of all the political correctness. We need someone calling it like it is.
Illegals = illegals. There is no need to spin that.
Politicians have failed us. We’re sick of them.
Both parties are run by elites... but liberal elites are worse.
Trump is PT Barnum and he makes a living on carnival bums.
Bernie says he will give me a heater and a comfy room and charge it to the rubes LOL

The difference between Sununu and most conservative pundits is that he is honest about his cluelessness. For several months, night after night, conservative talking heads have been bashing Trump, dismissing him as if he were a carnival freak. Oh, yes, they readily concede, he may be able to whip up the masses, but he cannot engage them for the long fight. That they look increasingly silly cannot be denied.
The fundamental problem with conservative critics of Trump is their class bias. They don’t understand the working class. Sheltered in prep schools and Ivy League institutions, their world is one where ideas count, and not much else. They do not understand the visceral appeal of someone like Trump.
The elire GOPe/Neocon overseers of the Faux Conservative plantation are in full panic as they continue to lose control of American voters. These overseers keep trying to trick/betray/control us to stay on/in their faux conservative plantations by selecting their ilk as our candidates.
In NH, Trump and his voters ignored them. His voters then voted big time for Trump. They won and broke the rules of the plantation masters by voting for Trump in NH. This is panicking our former neocon GOPe masters of the faux conservative plantations and their ilk, the Club for Growth.
It is wonderful to see this decades old, long standing corrupt political system disintegrating right before our eyes. This corrupted system hates working Americans. It rewards illegals and those who bring them into America to freeload off the American workers slaving in the faux conservative plantation.
We are seeing a paradigm shift with us selecting our Presidential Candidate, instead of the GOPe elites, who hate us, selecting our candidates.
There is a Black Swan event occurring with the daily suicidal self wrought destruction of the GOPe, Open Border Thugs, DC faux pundits, Faux News, ABCNNBCBS and the left wing fish wraps. Something similar may be happening with the DEMes.
Many of us are looking forward to seeing the broken bones, drying blood and entrails of the Lying GOP Open Borders Elite, The Club for Growth, their DC faux conservative pundits, their mediots, their phoney pollsters and focus groups, Faux, ABCNNBCBS, their hired tv and radio hacks strewn across the primary states as much as our victories in those states.
We have escaped from their faux conservative plantations. We are not going back for more lies, abuse and mistreatment from our former GOPe masters.
We will vote for Trump and destroy them!
The GOPe of today reminds me of the sell out hack in the movie, “They Live”.
I’m now fully understand the immortal words of Khrushchev on this.
He gets it.
I’ve watched Trump in action long enough now that I think I can distill the “Trump Factor” into three simple things:
1. Trump identifies the issues that average people think are most important to their lives, their success, their future.
2. Trump names the enemy. He doesn’t mince words or worry about political correctness. He talks the way regular Americans talk, and he doesn’t lecture or act condescending.
3. Trump puts forth simple, understandable solutions that make sense and that people want to see implemented. They know that he has the ability to translate these ideas into action by virtue of his track record without having him explain all the wonky details and specifics.
In addition, Trump has what Rush correctly called “a showman’s instinct” that others might call “persona” or “charisma”, which he uses to present his ideas in a persuasive way.
“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.
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.
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.

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.
I am a conservative and I have worked all my life. I went to a state college at night. I served in the Navy. I don’t get Trump’s appeal beyond the “we’ve had it” rage. I think Trump is poison and his nomination would be an utter disaster for the nation. It would almost certainly lead to another Democrat president.
Trump has proven himself to anyone who is paying attention. He is a proven winner, knows how to succeed, knows how to negotiate. There is nobody on that stage that can match Trump in any area of success. Cruz is the more Conservative of the two. But Cruz is not electable. Nobody likes him. Nobody likes him and wants to work with him. Hes got no chance in this primary and/or especially in the general!
Trump is recreating the Nixon coalition. Working class folks. He’s running as a reactionary populist.
Had the Republicans dine their job there’d be no need for Trump. Trump is a corrective step. A shock to the corrupt system.
