Wow. This is the only time I can say that Mr. Greenfield doesn’t get it.

Trump isn’t our candidate. He’s our murder weapon. And we are going to use him to gut the GOPe like a fish. Then we are going to toss the remains onto the gut pile for the buzzards.

All good now?

Greenfield did not discuss Trump’s function in this article, only his demeanor.
I agree, Trump is the people’s weapon of choice. Who knows where it will end up?
A Trump presidency would at least return glamour and class to the WH. That alone would be a nice break from the madness and chaos we have now.
Is Trump a trustworthy flag carrier for traditional Americanism? Perhaps. He certainly is better than most of the available options.
In any event, you are correct. We like Trump’s killer instinct.

Hehehehe, Well put.

Trump isn't our candidate. He's our murder weapon. And we are going to use him to gut the GOPe like a fish. Then we are going to toss the remains onto the gut pile for the buzzards. All good now?

Totally agree.

I do think Greenfield is right about this, however:

In New York, the GOP is not going to make your campaign happen. You have to make your campaign happen, often by fighting an apathetic and rotten GOP establishment, while doing everything on your own. Trump is just running the same type of campaign nationally.

Bingo. Treehouse.

Works for me.

The gods of the copybook headings counsel us to stick with the devil we know, but I've been doing that for 20+ years, and have gotten nowhere.

I want to see gutted fish.

Agree w you on all points and this is a rare miss for Daniel Greenfield. And if not Trump who does he have in mind? Our choices are limited. No one has talked about free trade, outsourcing and illegal immigration for a long time//// Not the way Donald Trump has and that’s good enough for me. All these trade deals since NAFTA deals stink for America, only make our trade deficits larger and Donald Trump is the only candidate boldly taking this on.
Only one candidate has talked loudly about putting up a wall at the Mexican border.

[KGeorge]

Amen.

You seem to think it necessary to completely blow up the system.... tear it apart.... and render it a quivering mass completely ineffectual....Ok...then what’s it’s replacement?????....you can’t just leave a pile of destruction without cleaning up the mess and replacing it with “something”.....

Trump is whatever people want him to be. They want small government, suddenly and magically Trump is small government. Or pro-life. Or conservative.

He's going to carry the black vote, win 50 states, eliminate the Dept. of Education and the EPA, shrink government, get government back to work fixing things, win the woman vote, defeat and befriend Putin, fix the middle east, get rid of Kim Un. Appoint his sister and other conservatives to the SC. Lower taxes for me. Raise taxes for the others. Free healthcare.

Whatever, he can and will do everything. He's that awesome.
