A Yeoman's Primer on the Trump Phenomenon: Look at Josey Wales
Old Virginia Blog ^ | 3/18/2016 | Richard G. Williams, Jr.

Let me offer a very simple explanation of the Trump phenomenon:

There's a strong dynamic now working in Trump's favor that may be almost impossible to overcome. All the establishment powers in the media (which everyone hates), the political establishment (which everyone hates), and much of the corporate establishment (which almost everyone hates) are seen as "piling on" against Trump. They're also seen as elitist and illegitimate critics who are all responsible for our current mess. They have ZERO credibility with the average working American.

Trump would not have been my first choice. Regardless, when it comes time to vote I will say two words to myself: “Lois Lerner”. I will then happily cast a vote for the Donald.

I didn’t click, but regardless, I thought you made a (somewhat obvious) analysis of the facts.

I concur unequivocally. Good post.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended.

We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.

Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all."

I am thinking more of “Pale Rider” and “Being There.”

I will sum up my support for Trump with a quote of Abraham Lincoln (talking about Gen. Grant). “I can’t spare this man, He fights.”

I may prefer Cruz for being a true conservative, but Trump is a quite acceptable second choice.
