This is quite a good article. Someone sent it to me, and I really appreciate that.

If you support Trump, or even if you're a stuck in the past never-Trumper, you will probably very much appreciate this article.

Thanks for this link, to the person who sent it to me. I very much appreciate this.

There is an active link to the story, below:

I've made no secret of why, as a Republican, I oppose Donald Trump and what he stands for.

Ah, poor David Frustum (trouble in that department is never a good thing!).

Fine article, but why doesn't he declare for DJT forthrightly?

I reject the characterization that he appeals to people who fear crime. I think he’s way past that and well into appealing to the people who are darn right pissed off about crime.

I think Trump has a hidden 8% polling bonus that will be devastating to the Democrats come November

Should we be worried about the Independant candidate? He seems to be polling a solid 8%. Is he pulling evenly from both Hillary and Trump?

The articles gets off to a decent start, but it really should have been a full-length feature article with many concrete examples about alphabet agencies that don’t work, wacky political correctness in a wide variety of institutions, specific trade policies that brought hardship to specific types of workers, specific “immigrant” stories with unhappy endings.

In my state the nearest large city has had federal money thrown at it for more than sixty years. Politicians have promised they will make it better, safer, cleaner, etc. for sixty years.

They have a new program for the city calling it a Promise Zone and offering more federal money to fix buildings, education, etc.

But there is a difference this time—the previous sixty years of failure that has lead to the population of the city being reduced by a third. Also, the newest residents wear burkhas and strange looking gowns and speak strange languages. Where did they come from and why would they want to come to this dangerous and awful city?

Most people just don’t believe in it anymore—and are angry the politicians and their media lapdogs keep lying as though the last sixty years never happened.

Frum wrote this article in total disrespect.

It's his racist rant against angry white men.

No mention of what motivates our rebellion against the elites such as freedom of religion, liberty, taxation without representation, etc. Forget Frum.

I’m sorry. I didn’t get much further than “what he stands for”. So much vapid drabble out there.

Thanks for posting this. I like his snark about those in “the Acela Corridor”, but the rest of the article makes true conservatives out to be modern day “Sans Culottes “. In that he comes up short. Trump resonates with a lot more people than even Frum thinks.

We went to Iraq because you said it was better to fight them over there than fight them over here. Then you invited them over here anyway! Then you said that we had to keep inviting them over here if we wanted to win over there. And we figured out: You care a lot more about the “inviting" part than the “winning" part. So no more. Not until we face a real threat, and have a real president who’ll do whatever it takes to win. Whatever it takes.

That part's pretty good, although Frum can't help but get a bit condescending in places.

I am angry and I have a messed up life?

I am worried about having my gun rights taken away because I might get OUIs?

Frum is a democrat who sleeps with Romney.

Nothing that soapy, lying idiot says
belongs anywhere conservative.

Why this Trump supporter thinks he’ll win-

Because the idiots and frauds are greatly outnumbered now, just as they will be in November.

Frum makes a point about not wanting to be lead by a black man or a woman making us racists and misogynists. Newsflash, Frum, I don’t care what someone’s race or gender is. I care about POLICY.

Trump now needs to HAMMER Hillary on her rotten self. Bring Bill into it.

I did not have sex with that woman

There were no top secret e-mails

And every other lie he can find and keep broadcasting them.
