Last night Fox New’s Ms. Megyn “too-cute-by-half†Kelly coordinated with her smug and condescending GOP crew to promote a National Review Article attacking GOP Frontrunner Donald J Trump. (video here of the smugfest)

Great post.
almost perfect...
one problem:
“Cruz will mouth all the right slogans and do nothing but what the Political/Media/Business machine tells him to do.”
CRUZ? Maybe Rubio... but NOT CRUZ.
Cruz has never done anything to deserve that. Cruz will fight the machine will all he has....he has shown that....but he just doesn’t have the gifts that Trump does. If Cruz were to win the Rep nomination, he would have to face not just Dems demonizing him the - the way Hillary is demonized to us- but also the entire media doing the same to him....he just doesn’t have the charisma and media pizazz that trump has to overcome that kind of mass bulldozing.
But please- don’t undo all your legitimate points by including a lie about Cruz...
I'm telling you. Switch to Anderson Cooper 360.
He has developed into a very good journalist. His show is even and fair. I started watching after a post-debate CNBC analysis, and the panel was great.
Iconic liberal journalist Carl Bernstein said that the moderators and CNBC should be ashamed. He asked the other panelists if they read conservative media, and told them they should if they wanted to understand half the country. He immediately forecasted a justifiable firestorm, and he was right.
Anyway, Cooper has a balanced mix of Democrat and Republican commentators, and they actually debate and speak without shouting over each other. He moderates, but stays neutral.
If you're weary of Fox, shop around.
really, this deserves its own post. Even publishing at national level, I don’t care if folks get upset by the reference.
If Trump was saying Cruz was the favorite of the GOPe it would be the same kind of lie.
I don’t know the Stone guy. I do know that pointed out that he isn’t a official rep of the Trump campaign.
That said, the attack on the Kelly show was not very fair and balanced.
In case people haven't noticed, there is a massive crowd of people all across America that are NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE...we are the crowds that meet in New Hampshire, South and North Carolina, Las Vegas, Florida, Iowa, and all over, we cheer, we stand in long lines for hours in the rain, snow, cold, heat...we are Black, Latinos, Republicans, Democrats, Independents, young and old...we are the American Voters...
We have been stomped on, ignored, used, bled dry, pushed aside and told repeatedly ‘you will vote for this candidate’ well not anymore!!!
WE, THE AMERICAN VOTERS ARE RUNNING THIS ELECTION!!! The GOPe, the RINO base, the media, and all the ‘gravy trains’ can go to heck, we want OUR COUNTRY BACK and we are going to have OUR COUNTRY BACK by taking our votes back...no longer having crap shoved down our throats, NOT THIS TIME!!!
We, the MASSIVE MAJORITY of American Voters, are here to stay and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
Number one...I never said that. I think you presume too much. But there is far more evidence that Cruz is willing to stand on principle. Where is Trumps Mitch McConnell moment, where he stood on principle and did the right thing, even though he knew it would cost him?
Rush: Remember when National Review was the voice of conservatism?
You are going to have to tear down the DC Political/Business/Media machine before it can be rebuilt. Trump can do that, Cruz cannot. The national body politic needs radical chemotherapy, not a tummy tuck, a nose job and some Botox injections.

Awesome post!
Trump has revealed to us something about ourselves (as mentioned in your post) that we have been in a state of “hoping for change”. Trump has shown his supporters about the power of the electorate when energized and inspired by a leader.
Trump has exposed the great American deception of controlled opposition in the “conservatives” involved in the NRO effort to stop Trump.
The controlled opposition including talk radio hosts, have told voters time and again, “well maybe next time”, and pulled the football away in Lucy-like fashion.
In the following Trump interview from 2012, Trump says this country needs major surgery. Trump was asked about running for president, to “lead the way”. Trump said he hopes someone else would emerge as a leader.
Of those who signed on to the manifesto, did they step up? Trump DID step up!

A great interview all should see
Huzzah!! It’s past time to scourge the elitist political hacks from the halls of our government.
What is a “Trumpies?” Is that an insult similar to calling Tea Party supporters “Teabaggers?” That kind of language pointed at fellow FReepers is insulting, rude, and arrogant. Furthermore, many “Trumpies” also support Cruz.
Well, we have plenty of FReepers insulting each other every day. Their name calling behavior is like adolescent school children.
Very good!
What most Americans on both sides are yearning for is leadership. Trump represents a known — an alpha male leader — and Cruz is relatively unknown.
Trump actually ENGAGES his enemies and he is fearless. The greater majority of GOP candidates remain mutes, don't want to get into a political brawl with the Democrats or their MSM chorus. The Republican candidates behave like a bunch of eunuchs and squabble with one another. Squabbling doesn't win elections, nor does insulting your core voters values, nor does refusing to engage your Donkey opponents and their synchophants in the Media.
You go, Girl!
Oh please, drop it already. If you honestly fall for this tactic, it simply shows that you are not nearly as intelligent and discerning as you believe yourself to be.
Get a clue, this is not rocket science.
