Donald Trump kicks over the money changer tables in the temple in Jerusalem, and throws tea into Boston Harbor.
Revolutions. How times have we heard that revolutions have been carried out for less than what Washington has forced on us? The organization that is nominally on our side is just as corrupt.
Donald Trump is the revolution. He must go after the nearby corruption before tackling the state, just as Jesus the Jew attacked his priests before taking on Rome. Our founding fathers had to deal with colonial loyalists, while fighting the British.
Revolutions are messy, difficult to watch. The Weatherman of the 1960s and 1970s were vile and violent, then went dormant, then attained power in 2008. We dont have that kind of time.
Today, we have the vile, without the violence. Our revolution is peaceful, but at times ugly and disconcerting; a small sacrifice for major change.
Trump knows this, and is not going anywhere.

Mike Huckabee Huckabee has fooled a lot of people including himself. He would not cut government. He would be one of the candidates most likely to increase it.

He would do that if he decided to come down out of his ivory tower.
A most improbable figure, Trump, appears to be doing that.

“if Trump turns out to have the right policies”
That would be important to know.

"People can, and do change" Since the end of July? Because that's when Trump went on "Morning Joe" and admitted some of his positions are those of a Democrat.
it's been a week. that's an eternity in the vortex of creepiness that is Donald Trump's twitter feed.

I provided you with the words you posted, now you want to rewrite history. No one is comparing Trump to Jesus. The author of the piece mentioned the parallels in action of two historical revolutions. One involving Jesus, the other involving the American Revolutionaries. Your debate tactics are tiring and boring and really bespeaks of a mind that is utterly childish.

So the latest false god of the political/regulator class is he who exhibits the symptom of Tourette syndrome.

It’s been hours since he said he intended to split the conservative vote.
To: Taliesan
This looks like it is being fueled from popular desire. There could be worse states of affairs for a country whose constitution starts out with “We The People.”
I trust the people in general more than Trump as a lone figure, but Trump is getting his fuel from the people in general. If he goes cockeyed, his flame goes out. And he may have sense enough to understand this.
Why do we either have to heroize or vilify without any middle that is not focused on the figure but upon the message? Because any good message is not from man (who can only foul things up of his own) but from God.

Oh woe, Trump has done something that has a virtuous precedent. Therefore we must destroy him because he did not perform the requisite obeisances to the temple altar in the process.
Raping your wife because your scalp reduction went bad doesn't strike me as virtuous.

He sounded like he wanted to separate the men from the boys.

Oh now you have to dig like Megyn dug. Reflects on you, not at all on Donald, and especially on Donald’s present actions.
You want a plaster saint; you are being very tiresome.

No, I want a conservative nominee for President. One that won't get obliterated by Hillary if she manages to get to election day without being indicted. Seems simple, doesn't it?

Trump will not fall for the feminazi card... Trump has a lot of failings but this ain’t it... boy, you are reaching.

All right then. Something about revolution. Something about Jesus, something about tea. Something about turning tables over. And these somethings have something to do with one Donald H. Trump.
That’s better. A bit less hyperbolic, though a bit more...obscure.

Trump is filling a role vacuum. Instead of standing around whining about it, why don’t others show Trump how it’s done (crickets, crickets).

I like Cruz, and I also like Trump, and I hope that Cruz makes it, but let me pitch a hypothetical to you: If it came down to voting for Jeb or Trump, you would vote for...?

Oh, for heaven’s sake. It’s bad enough that people compare Trump to a conservative. You might as well go whole hog on the personality cult and compare him to Christ.
Oh, wait.
