Glenn went soft a long time ago. If he doesn’t understand why people like Rush and Coulter and others support Trump then maybe he hasn’t been kicked around enough by the political class as they strive to maintain political status quo that is destroying America. Trump is no worse than Romney from a political issue standpoint and he is a far more successful business man than Romney ever was. Its just a fact. Yes he failed a few times but so did Romney. There are no supermen out their Lois just survivors and Trump not only survived but has thrived and though he does have a colorful personality its no more shocking than Judge Judy or anyone from Queens where Trump was born.
I think any conservative should be able to appreciate how Trump is absolutely destroying the political status quo and nuking political correctness. He hasn’t lost a fight yet and managed to not just push back but even win the largest share of Hispanic support in some polls even though the media tried very hard to smear him as a bigot. If nothing else we should be learning from him. Learning that we can fight the media and win, that we can defeat the political class and that can win support by speaking to the interests of the American people rather than to internationalist corporatist goals. Trump isn’t my guy but he’s not my enemy either and if he can blow up the machine we will all be better for it.
I have no problem with all that you write, and have no problem with Trump blowing up the machine. We need this.
The real question is, whether he is genuine given that he’s been all over the map on abortion, Planned Parenthood, one time even favoring a single-payer plan, even immigration (having criticized Romney for his anti-immigration policies), and of course he won’t commit into saying that he’d oppose the enforcement of the gay marriage edict from the Court. And just today said he’d choose Sen. Ayotte for a VP. This is not really a case of “blowing up the machine,” and I wonder if he is simply trying blow up the Trump image into a global name recognition. This is what a showman does.
