While I certainly do not support Donald Trump, anything that David Brooks writes should be taken with a grain of salt.

They can say all they want about Trump but I know he’s not a Ryan, Boner, Ole MConnel, McCampaign etal!

In this case, the parallels between Trump’s association with wrestling and his political career seem to be well documented.

This from the "pants crease" guy.
David Brooks is not real.
To: SoConPubbie
This article is just a hint at the kind of stuff that will be written if Trump gets the ultimate nod.
The media are chomping at the bit.

Yeah, like everything in politics and the news media is real, transparent, and without an underlying agenda.
At least Trump asserts his political stances clearly and boldly without regard to political correctness.

NBC is sitting on a Trump BBC expose that is not very flattering.

Donald Trump Isn't Real
As usual, Brooks doesn't get it. Donald Trump is real, in a way professional politicians aren't. He says what real voters want to hear, and he doesn't try to slice it and dice it in a politically way that will keep the media from attacking him. He doesn't care if the media attacks him - he attacks back, and does so effectively.
That's a powerful lesson that the GOP and it's collection of drones needs to learn - your constituents are what matter. Defend and champion their principles without embarrassment and without weakness. Your constituents are why you're in Washington - getting David Brooks, George Will and Eleanor Clift to think you're "real" and making sure you get invited to every Beltway party isn't why you're there.
To: bigbob
Apparently David Brooks is on Team Cruz now. Interesting. Cruz has a nice NY caucus going now with Brooks and his gay boy activist donors.

Nothing about trump has changed. He is still democrat minded, showmanship is his trademark. No thank you.
