Your daily morning NRO propaganda.

The tidbit that is interesting is the story behind Trump's contribution to Boehner's PAC formed to fend off conservative primary challenges against GOP establishment loyalists.

Garbage from NRO. Trying hard but a looser.

Trump for President.

What agenda are they talking about. If it’s in the excerpt then I missed it. (Wouldn’t be the first time)

Just like Levin. A really, really smart guy, but unhinged by Trump. Overlooks every single defect of Cruz and harps on every purported bash of Trump. So be it.

No, it’s buried down in the article. I can only post 350 words.

Hillary will attempt to belittle Trump as Trump did Cruz. There is a very good chance she will succeed.

It does make a person wonder... Does Andrew C. McCarthy ever look around at the mess the country’s in and ask himself if (maybe, just maybe) he hand his fellow conservative elites have dropped the ball?

I just think he, like Levin, is a staunch conservative and believes the solution(s) to most of the issues facing the US is to elect staunch conservatives. And like Levin, I believe he is utterly sincere and there’s nothing he is really saying about Trump that is not true. But (also my opinion) the American electorate that is not dedicated to securing for themselves the same kind of spot at a lesser feeding trough and interested in restoring Constitutionality to the nation realizes that they cannot rely upon any candidates “sales brochure”. They elect the self-proclaimed conservative, they get to DC, and they are hijacked or bought off. They are tired of electing lying s**theads who conduct this Kabuki theater of pretending to be conservative. They see the elevation of overt criminality to the highest offices in the government and they are tired of paying for it.

There never, IMO, were enough conservatives to really derail 0bama’s Marxist anti-American agenda, I would not say they’ve “dropped the ball”. But they see a point of no return here, with the infinite immigration and infinite spending. Maybe they are very wrong supporting Trump, I can’t predict the future.

The one thing I noticed is that Trump can’t take hits. When Rubio and Cruz hammered him he became incoherent and angry. He can hand it to Hitlery but her campaign will try to make him angry.

He has got to guard against that.

If she is going to play her woman card and make this about lady parts, she will lose.

Trump can cobble together the old Reagan coalition of working class men and women who have been abused by the system so that the 47% can skate by paying nothing.

Reverse class envy as it were.

Good article. Trump has always been tight with Boehner, even when he (Trump) was a Dem.

McCarthy is moving into Limbaugh Levin territory; not quite Stabby The Clown Beck territory but he really ought to give it a rest.
