Daniel Hannan...you already ruined your country leave AMERICA alone.

[MNJohnnie]

Another screaming ignorant hysteric rating about things he clearly knows nothing about.

[lodi90]

I’m very disappointed in him. He’s just flat out wrong this time.

Tone deaf elitists. He’ll look like an idiot when POTUS Trump asks for the Churchill bust back.

[elcid1970]

We wish you a meretricious & a happy new year.

Obama is not going to let this election take place. He is going to say it is a threat to the United States and the world. Especially with the World Leaders coming out against Trump.
Either that or Trump is assassinated and all hell breaks lose and then it is Martial Law time.
IMHO

So, basically, Danny has a history of being wrong.

While I would prefer someone with deeper philosophical underpinnings as a guide, Trump's laundry list of positions is better than someone with bad underlying principles, as we have had at least these last seven years.

What I dislike are those people who acknowledge the frustration and say it's legitimate before they explicitly dismiss it. One cannot say that you like Democracy except when people vote the wrong way. With each cycle, the leftists take more, and then elected Republicans say "retty please" and get shut down when they are not actually co-opted.

One of the checks in our system is that someone like a Trump or a Cruz who might upend the card table (in different ways) will get in. If the RINOs and GOP-E really wanted to just stop Trump, they would get behind Cruz as too many Cruz supporters have Trump as a backup. They STILL are unable to accept reality, that Trump or Cruz are the people's selections, and that the GOP-E can get behind the winner or leave the party. It serves them right for dealing in bad faith.

Democracy? Mob rule? No thanks.

I’m disappointed in Hannan, too. I had quite liked him. He’s certainly articulate, and when he’s right he’s right...this time he missed the mark. Brits should not get involved in American politics. The Queen certainly rises above it all...is actually hosting the Obamas soon and will never show by a flicker of an eyelid whether she despises them or not. And neither should Obummer criticize any Republican candidates. Had to laugh when someone remarked Obummer wants Hillary in office to protect his legacy! What legacy? I’m 76 and can’t recall any prior President who is in office, bad mouthing any candidates running for the Presidency??? Anyone know if this is a first since I am not 100% up on things like that?

[backwoods-engineer]

The fact that Trump scares everybody, Left or Right, is why I will vote for him. Trump will either reduce the power and scope of the Federal government, or he will touch off a civil war and maybe, a world war. Either way, the elites lose. The latter will be painful, but the blood of patriots and tyrants will refresh the tree of liberty.

As poor Marco Rubio said in announcing the suspension of his campaign, no one wants optimism at the moment.

Are you kidding me, Mr. Hannan? Trump's entire campaign is based on "making America great again". We start by throwing the bastards out of the palace they built at our expense.

[Mastador1]

the republicrat party is committing suicide all on their own without Trumps help.

[fooman]

he sees Trump abandoning principled conservationism.
