Pipe dreams don’t make for sensible argument or rebuttal.
Trump wrote a book back in 2011 that said pretty much everything he saying today.
He just updated it and it has been Published.
Can’t think of the Title right now but I hear it’s a good read.
“Jonah takes the lame and rebuts them, but ignores the good and better arguments.”
Totally true. I was going to reply to Jonah but then I decided he wasn’t being serious. He says he wants a debate with his readers, but it’s just cat and mouse games.
What part of “I DO NOT SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP” do you not understand? Quit being a putz.
There you go again, using liberal methods on those you disagree with.
I think the MSM will crucify him just like they always do on any GOP candidate. Our choice is determined by the MSM, not us. Sad, but true.
By telling you to read a book before shooting off at the mouth? Hardly.
So let's review:
You've made many claims about Trump.
*All* of those claims are proven wrong by reading his book.
Since you didn't know that prior to making your claims, said claims can not be made from "knowledge."
The only alternative to "knowledge" for making claims is "feelings."
Liberals are notorious for using "feelings" interfere with "thinking."
So who's the liberal here?
Classic selective cut and paste.
Here’s what you said:
Yours is the ranting of a latter-day Archie Bunker. Nevertheless, I’m sure you’re more comfortable with an ignorant-and-proud-of-it demeanor than you would be with actually educating yourself on Trump’s positions to understand why so many FReepers disagree with you.
Here’s what I said:
YOU’RE calling ME an Archie Bunker. Why you’re nothing but a liberal in disguise! That’s exactly the liberal way of going after a conservative opponent! I guess that would make you Meathead!
Which facts are you disputing? His opportunistic changing of parties? His campaign contributions to Democrats? His 100% wholehearted support of Kelo? His use of eminent domain to try to take a woman’s property in Atlantic City? His support of partial birth abortion (which he opportunistically changed) to his support of abortion (which he opportunistically changed)? His flip flop on Planned Parenthood? His use of liberal talking points to criticize Walker, Jindal and Carson?
Trump is a butch Mayor Bloomberg; he’s Jeb Bush on steroids.
This one.
Why don’t you name just one conservative position that Trump held a year ago that he holds today? You’ll have a hard time doing it because two years ago he was liberal democrat.
Aside from you trying to stack the deck by inserting "opportunistically" in every other assertion, the fact you cherry pick issues that prove he's not a "movement" conservative says nothing about him being "conservative enough."
That it's never occurred to you that you'll never get a "movement conservative" AND "the consent of the governed" shows you're the perfect sheep for the shepherds who have lead us to where we are now: irrelevant ideologues.
Nothing is more foundationally important in the USA than the right to life and the right to own property.
WRONG! The defining characteristic of the Great Experiment is self-governance. Everything else is "details." What we have now is clearly governing against the will of the people.
Voting for Trump is the ONLY vote against some formulation of the status quo. Even the other "outsiders" lack his ability to take on the fourth estate, and are thus to some measure dependent on the status quo.
If there is any hope of remaking out republic without tearing it down first, Trump is it.
Get over yourself Jonah.
Oh, another Trump bashing article by that twerp Jonah Goldberg? Nah, thanks, I’ll pass.
People like Jonah will never understand that it is not because we dislike them.....we despise them.
Yes! These people are journalists. Their job is to be in tune to public opinion and upcoming or ongoing movements. Yet these guys are so removed from that - Happily ensconced in their ivory towers looking down on us.
IMO Jonah is the biggest disappointment of all of them because he still seems (or did seem) to represent youth/vigor/the future. But now he’s just in a lump with old establishment guys like Krauthammer and Will.
BRAVO!! PRECISELY RIGHT.
You will never dance with any idiot. You are a loser. Your post is truly the most ignorant piece of garbage I have ever read.
So which loser are you for? and when that loser loses, what are we to get from it? Huh?
Oh man, you are a true conservative purist. Losin’ is so good because you feel all high and mighty and you are better than those who want to save the country.
Excellent post. Really a good post!

“My background is blue collar so please save your breath about me being some kind of elitist.”
Anyone can be an elitist. It’s a mindset. Ithas nothing to do with income or what kind of career someone has.
