I think Hanson gets it.
Trump is every thing we should dislike or even hate except as the Latino barber said, “He is a Jefe” and unafraid.
He reminds me of past American leaders like Andrew Jackson, George Patton and even Eisenhower and Truman. To the literalist here, the key word is “REMINDS”.
I think I am going try to hang on to this horse.
The kind that, though that suckah be buckin' we be hangin' ON.
(I like your phrase)
Well said about your reasons for "hanging onto this horse" (Trump).
I like Hanson. He doesn't get Trump though. I strongly disagree with him on Trump and I intentionally left a lot of the article out in my excerpt. While he does see the "Why?" to Trump's popularity and can articulate that well, he is really no different than Krauthammer or Will on his disdain for the man (Trump). On that, he is just flat out wrong. He is blinded by his disdain for that type of flamboyant personality that pokes "conventional wisdom" in the eye and says what are you going to do about it?
I do believe that Trump has the El Hefe stature and the other more conservative candidates would do well to emulate that more within their own style. This is what is needed for POTUS 2016. Not another 0bama, just an El Hefe who will beat back the pretend brute with a symmetrical or even more shock & awe level of force.
