But what if Trumps negatives are so high that Hillary wins and we have a left-wing Supreme Court for life. Shouldn’t this scare us?
I think it’s always vote for the most conservative candidate who’s likely to win
The ‘conservatives’ in Congress have become, once elected a J.V. team.
Trump is a rabid American, which means ‘no party’.
The so-called ‘Americans’ in Congress have gone along to get along, schtuping the everyday American, for a long time. Even those who think they are running for, but really losing, President, have spoken things contrary to the Constitution, and now THEY are to be believed to be correct???????
Neither does Jonah Goldberg represent conservatives!
It doesn’t scare me. I don’t even care anymore. With things like faggot-marriage spread across the land, the survival of this nation is no longer of intrinsic value or importance to me.
Damn the facts, full speed ahead!
YUP!
I hope the fool keeps on paying and paying for that.
you already know the answer, don’t you ?
And many of them don't care.
Jonah GOPe Goldberg
Very accurate description.
He represents what we want much more than any of the establishment candidates do.
Cruz excluded.
Only you, Tintuna, only you.
Certainly he is patriotic and loves this country. That alone places him outside the borders of the modern Democratic Party. Business acumen and personal wealth alone don't do it. The Democrats are now the party of rich white globalist stock market manipulators who want to drive socialism down the throats of everybody else. But except for shameless jingoism (and I mean that in the most positive sense) Trump is hardly representative of main street, Midwest, cloth coat Republicanism either.
So when you add together the brash rhetoric, George M. Cohan Yankeeism, military metaphors, knee jerk viciousness toward anyone even politely questioning his bona fides, and stream of consciousness speaking style the only word I can come up with is demagogue. Like any effective demagogue he presses all the right buttons to evoke a "Hell yeah!" response from his audience. It's just that some of us, even as we're cheering what he says, have this nagging sense that we are being taken for suckers by a third generation descendant of P.T. Barnum.
Well, when I get his column in my email, I will be sure to respond .. and I’m not sure he’s like it .. but sometimes the truth hurts.
Maybe ask Jonah who is buying his pants for him.
I will not cede more power to the state. I will not willingly cede ore power to anyone, not to the state, not to General Motors, not to the CIO. I will hoard my power like a miser, resisting every effort to drain it away from me. I will then use my power, as I see fit. I mean to live my life an obedient man, but obedient to God, suservient to the wisdom of my ancestors, NEVER to the authority of politcal truths arrived yesterday at the voting booth. WF Buckley Jr.
Miss him!
Another Jonah anti-Trump hit piece
As usual Jonah applies his selective filter of Trump. The Trump derangement syndrome is strong in him. Trump is doing yeoman’s work in deconstructing the media and has did more to nuke the media in his short run for the White House than conservative naval gazers like Goldberg who made his name on the back of his Momma and a blue dress scandal.
I really have no idea what in the hell is wrong with these guys. We know who Trump is and for every specific example of him being a “liberal” there are countless counter examples where he is not. If people had no problem with Romney governing from the center left while he was governor then why would they have trouble with a business man like Trump who tried to appease those in government in order to keep them off his back in business? Also if Romney can “evolve” after having attended fundraisers with planned parenthood why can’t Trump change his positions?
That is the real problem I have with the type of attacks from Goldberg and Glenn Beck and others. They have failed us as much as the Washington DC establishment. They have been content to write books and make millions off conservatives while just letting the left win on issues like gay marriage, like immigration, like stupid “religion of peace” bs. I even like a lot of what both of these guys have done for the movement but they seem not the least interested in all out war on the political class.
They instead seem interested in appeasement as if they’d rather lose than vote for a straight talking successful candidate from Queens York who speaks extemporaneously. They act as though being “Presidential” is to be phony and attached to a teleprompter with a legion of speech writers and consultants to tell you what to think. I’m sorry but it is exactly that failed approach that has gotten us so deep into the mire of debt, inaction, and failed social and foreign policy.
The real reason they seem angry is because their game of pretend is being interrupted ironically by a premier showman in Trump who says what he happens to think at a given time. Its like those guys who have their wives so fearful that they might see her as she is that she won’t go to bed without makeup on. These idiots actually think they have the right to presume that “Its not who we are” to secure our borders and keep Islamic radicals out. The reality is we live in an America where no amount of pomp and circumstance and makeup will hide the ugliness and failure of our government and Trump even with his flaws is doing a beautiful job of ripping what’s left of the façade covering that nasty reality to shreds.
