The clear strategy is to call Trump supporters dumb.

"more than enough to convince any thinking person"

What if they aren't?

The elites still don’t get it.

They are as far removed from knowing what the public wants as the nobility was at Versailles in 1789.

The election of Trump is the French Revolution sans guillotine.

Long live the people!

All the rest can be sorted out later.

1) Post sneering article about Trump from the usual sources.

2) First comment “Duuuuuur they wont care, they be the cultists”

3)Feign shock that openly insulting people, and belittling their candidate choice, actually evokes negative replies.

4) see that it earns Rubio no votes, because you have all but abandoned Cruz.

5) Repeat

“Is it remotely presidential?”

No, as defined by our presidents for the past 30 years, thank God it’s not presidential.

A “hinged” viewpoint (vs. many of the totally “unhinged” that are out there):

How the GOP’s unhinged debate diminished both Donald Trump and Marco Rubio
http://theweek.com/articles/608667/how-gops-unhinged-debate-diminished-both-donald-trump-marco-rubio

Excerpt:
Let’s begin with Donald Trump, far and away the strongest contender, be it in Ted Cruz’s backyard or Marco Rubio’s home state. For the first time, he met his rhetorical match in a surprisingly vitriolic Rubio. The Florida senator devoted himself to going shout-for-shout with Trump, dragging out old scandals and unseemly details that put the mogul’s present-day promises in an unflattering light. But even when Trump visibly ground his gears, he stayed characteristically unflappable. He’s got a big enough cushion to risk staying the course. Although he lost the initiative last night, the game was not changed.

From the look on Rubio’s face, however, you’d think there was a revolution onstage. With every attack on Trump, he preened and puffed. When Trump and Cruz mixed it up, Rubio visibly itched to squeeze in another zinger, another bullet point, another piece of evidence that he had graduated to the big leagues. (Those monitoring media Twitter might have felt the hovering presence of political helicopter parents — established Rubio backers doling out anxious attaboys from the sidelines.)

Without a doubt, Rubio wins debates, and he won Thursday’s contest, as the media, the focus groups, and the insiders will tell you. His scores, however, have yet to translate into a commensurate clutch of delegates. In this lopsided but unstable race, that might change. But I wouldn’t bet on it.

Trump is killing with people that employee others, with people that pay the top tax rate, the people that bear the brunt of dopey over-regulation. This guy talks about stuff he doesn’t do stuff. He doesn’t know anything about the real word. There are a million stories out there like this one:

Derek Hunter and Charles C.W. Cooke - separated at birth... LOL!

Derek Hunter has a diverse work history. He moved to Baltimore in 2001 for a job in the bookstore at the Heritage Foundation. After some time in the bookstore, he became a research assistant, then a research associate for health care at Heritage, a press secretary in the US Senate for Conrad Burns, a telecom and education analyst for Americans for Tax Reform and helped start The Daily Caller with Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel. At Heritage and ATR he hosted weekly live podcasts as well as his own for a happy hour he and a friend started that quickly became a must attend event. The First Friday Happy Hour featured guests such as Christopher Hitchens, Newt Gingrich, Grover Norquist, Andrew Breitbart, Ralph Reed, Michael Steele, Ann Coulter and many more.

In between policy and podcasting work, Derek became a weekly columnist for Townhall.com, a contributor to Breitbart News, an election blogger for the New York Daily News. His writing has been cited or appeared in more than 150 newspapers, including The New York Times, Forbes, The Washington Times, Washington Examiner, Detroit Free Press, The Baltimore Sun and many others.

Something I hadn’t noticed before — Trump uses the same (incomplete) sentence structure my mother-in-law did when she talked about picking berries as a child.

She was 95 at the time and could go on for an hour or two about it without ever completing a sentence.

That's not entirely true. He was fairly unambiguous about one thing he'd like to do: change the law so he can sue newspapers. When it comes to solutions to the nation's problems, Donald Trump is the equivalent of a constitutional dumpster fire; and that's just fine to his worshipers.

LOL! This particular Media trout took the bait, and buried the hook in his stomach.

Instead of pumping up the GOPe foam-boy, young Derek is whimpering about an impossibility, JUST AS TRUMP PLANNED.

It's like taking candy from a STUPID baby. :)
