Before his bombastic concert-in-the-park performance in Mobile, Donald Trump had come across chiefly as an amusing amateur whose total lack of basic political knowledge and essential reasoning ability had rendered him unwilling to do interviews that he could not phone in from the confines of his office.
In Alabama, he broke out, transforming himself in the process into something else altogether. One part Alan Ginsberg, one part Jim Morrison, and one part Roderick Spode, Trump strode onto the Southern stage as might a troubled rock star. This, his insolent upper lip told the camera, was show time.
All of which is to say that Donald Trump has matured in precisely the wrong direction, having moved from bumbling dilettante to Dunning-Kruger poster-boy in a single leap. Politics in a free republic consists of modesty, of compromise, and of dull perseverance. It is, by its very nature, the precise opposite of rock and roll. Self-described “conservatives” have historically prided themselves on their aversion to our gaudy celebrity culture and their disgust at the conflation of reality TV and the quotidian workings of the government.
They should not abandon this virtuous instinct just because a rich and famous entertainer has donned an oversized hat and pandered to their prejudices for a summer. Not all stars that fall on Alabama should be given access to the nation’s nuclear arsenal. Let us leave Donald Trump to his trip.

Oh yea, like a community activist, Or an aging Clintoon and her muslim brotherhood friend Huma deserve the keys.
So much hate, so little time....
Let's be honest. How many people would actually recognize all three of these names, especially the last one? My family loves the Jeeves and Wooster series with Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, so we are very familiar with Spode. In fact, my daughter was watching episodes with that character just a few days ago.
The owners of the media must be scared $#1+less of Trump for them to be so willing to sacrifice the meager gravitas of their minions so wildly.
Go to National Review each morning if you want to see the liberal GOPE, RNC talking points of the day. At this point they are a sad caricature of what they used to be. Just another liberal rag.
I haven’t jumped on the Trump wagon but Cooke and Williamson are a sad lot, Trump lives rent free in their self-important and what seems to be increasingly vacant, yet closed to reality, minds.
These little NR twerps are so embarrassing.
I can recall only one other Republican candidate that garnered this much enthusiasm from the electorate and this much ire and vitriol from the party leadership..........................Ronald Reagan............................

Even if true, still WAY better than a Muslim, Kenyan, Metrosexual, Marxist, Alinskyite, Affirmative-Action, liar.
