The Fourth Estate IS the Fifth Column.

Trump is exactly what is needed, exactly what is wanted, and exactly what they hate. To know what will work against your enemy, know what they are afraid of. Trump terrifies everyone I despise.

My pre-election view of Trump was somewhat negative, mainly because of his bankruptcies. I just couldn't accept that a billionaire could declare bankruptcy, and still keep his billions, legally, or not. I became a fan, though, upon seeing his ability to stick it to both the media, and the GOPe. I was nearly completely won over......at first.

I started turning negative again upon seeing his unfounded attacks on fellow Republican candidates - Carson the child molester, Cruz the liar, etc. He used the spin of political assassins as facts, then cried "mean" and "unfair" when the same techniques were used against him. I'm now quite negative because I simply don't know what his policies are. Here's why:

He says he's going to build a wall to stop illegal immigrants and also deport them, but then he says he'll "expedite" their return.
He says he'll defund PP abortions, but then continue funding their "good" things.
He says he'll bring back US jobs, but then he manufacturers his stuff over there.
He says he'll repeal Obamacare, but then, he "likes" the mandate.
He says he "always" opposed the Iraq war, but then he won't discuss a media clip showing he didn't.
He says he's a conservative, but then he's spend millions supporting liberal Democrats.

In my view, this looks like nothing more than a typical beltway politician, tailoring his speeches to his audience, with no guiding principled conservative values, as well as his obscene and childish behavior. I don't have the slightest clue as to what his policies as president would be.

James Lewis is spot-on in his analysis.

If for no other reason than his bashing/neutering of the media and the whole PC industry, Donald Trump is owed a big “thank you!” by all lovers of liberty. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the man should be the Republican nominee and the the President - that’s another decision altogether - but he IS owed a “thank you!”

Mr. Trump, as an American who is incredibly concerned about the absolute hold the political Left has on the media, I thank you for standing up to them and showing the American people what a bunch of empty suits these people and their ideology really is.
