The media loved the phoney bastard until he got the nomination after which they reverted back to the scum they usually are.

And McCain was to stupid to know what was going on so he blamed Palin for his problems.

Interesting.   (Back in those dangerous, deadly days, it would have been a good idea for their safety and well-being for people with that surname to change their names to something else back then too.)

Michael Savage is brilliant and talented. I listened to Savage every day in 1997, since he assisted with my growing thoughts on politics.

People who believe in the resurrection of the Lord are the people who got Trump elected. Period.

People who cannot defeat Clinton: Savage, Glenn Beck, Levin and Ben Shapiro.

People who defeated Clinton and the abortion politicians: Little Sisters of the Poor.

Are you trying to say, that in German, the “W” is pronounced with the “V” sound?

Exactly.

I would remind everyone that Trump single-handedly saved our Republic from the corrupt clutches of coughing Hillary.

That alone should bring him praises from anyone right of Hillary. And he has fulfilled something like 98% of all of his campaign promises in his first two years.

If he had a party that would support his efforts instead of throwing in with the Marxist democRATS, he would probably have gotten more done. Paul Ryan sabotaged him at every turn. And I'm not so sure if McConnell isn't subtly slowing down his agenda too.

People who criticize him should stop and think about the alternatives. Hillary? Bernie? Yeb? Kasich?

There is only one man at this point in history that could do the job that needs to be done and that's Donald Trump. He has no equals on the stage right now.

He has his own faults like everyone else does but they do not negate the abundance of leadership, accomplishments and success he has achieved in just 3 years.

Louis Feinberg changed his name to Larry Fine when he went on the road with the Howard brothers comedy troupe to avoid antisemitism of the 1930’s.

So now we're back to there's 'no other alternative'. What a strange long journey it's been - almost 4 years to the date.

There's a sea change difference of affirmatively voting for someone who promises to accomplish specific goals, and voting for someone (or against another candidate) who simply provides a better (short-term) choice vs alternatives.

I don't have a problem voting for Trump, and I certainly don't have a problem buying a another 4 years of relative peace & quiet. But we should all be cognizant that without truly addressing the core underlying rot, we're simply putting off the date when the bill comes due.

I think most patriots would agree that: (a) the deep state is not going to be defeated by purely legal methods; and (b) there will not be large scale deportations of illegal aliens and expulsions of other undesirable non-citizens without significant civil unrest. Amirite?

So, where are the civil defense preparations? Where are the underlying conversations and implicit messages coming from the president? Guess what, there aren't any (other than Qook larps) - so what does that tell you? It should signal to any reasonably astute person that Trump is playing the right no different than the purveyors of collusion delusion play the left.

Both sides are tools to satisfy the key players' desire for ego satisfaction, power control and wealth accumulation. Somewhere lost in the shuffle are real people, sheep to many, who get stomped on until a breaking point is finally reached.

Hey @sshat Savage aka Weiner. All that needed to happen was the Repubs who controlled Congress for two years give the 25-30 billion for the wall and President Trump would have signed it in a heartbeat. Instead they screwed him. Ryan et. al are dirt bags and President Trump is basically a one man show against the @sshat Repubs,Dems and courts on this issue. So freaking settle down and get on side.

Possibly, I wonder if Savage is as loyal as his bipolar condition. Up and then down.

He reminds me of Beck’s problem, and both men have discussed it albeit, infrequently. They can’t seem to help it or, who knows, do they occasionally skip meds, which is not uncommon among BP sufferers?

Both are highly intelligent, high performing and, thankfully, they have been far and away basically conservative. Both men have been educators for their viewers and listeners and across their careers have done far more good than harm for advancing principles for conservative thought.

NYT must have loved the opportunity to flog this one odd moment for Savage.

” Do you consider Limbaugh to be a fraud?”

Even though you weren’t directing the question at me, I’ll give you my two cents worth. IMO Rush is a patriot, but his “brilliance” is highly over rated - especially by himself. He’s a self promoter, and I think he really buys into his own schtick about how smart he is. I remember when he first came on the scene how he would slavishly spout certain talking points that I had just read in some National Review article, and try to portray it as some original thought of his. He wants people to believe he’s some deep thinker or intellectual, but he’s not. Even now, he’s so far behind the curve on what’s actually going on. He finally started using the term ‘Deep State’ to describe the obstructionist forces in Washington, but he still doesn’t understand what it means.

Having said that, as far as helping to educate the public about conservatism vs liberalism, he’s done a good job. And I’ll give him credit for coining the term ‘Low Information Voters” (at least I think he came up with it. Either way he helped popularize the phrase). It’s a useful term.

“there will not be large scale deportations of illegal aliens and expulsions of other undesirable non-citizens...”

I believe Constitutional tax caps are necessary.

Fix the size of the feed trough and new users will not be welcomed to it.

I have doubts about Trump, but I have no doubt that Democrats are far worse.

That’s possible, as I don’t watch Hannity much, and never his whole show. But, as far as I know, Savage isn’t on TV, and Savage and Hannity are on different Radio Networks, so not sure where, why or how Sean would be “introducing” Savage.

That is a VERY fair analysis of the situation which many Trump critics at various levels of nger totally ignore [at their and our peril].
