But the biggest laugh is watching the right’s most ideological and angry embrace the party’s least ideological candidate since forever.
To me, that's the biggest danger, not the biggest laugh, but point made.
We have too many people who think the best way to get a conservative government is to turn a blind eye to the facts that prove Trump isn’t a conservative. They want to just give up any scrutiny of his record, ignore his inexperience, turn his vices and gaffes into virtues (he’s great when he’s insulting people, that’s manly), and don’t even mention his personal lack of character. It’s the weirdest thing I’ve seen when the conservative movement decides it wants a liberal turned-conservative overnight to lead it.
"To me, that's the biggest danger, not the biggest laugh, but point made."
Agreed. I think Thomas Sowell said it, too.
Also, toward the end of the article:
"If a contestant says “No, hire me first, before I prove myself,” Donald would show him the door. Yet, that’s his own strategy now, as he runs for president.
He’s saying, “We got problems, and if you elect me I’ll fix them. I’ll hire the people.” That’s not enough. There’s too much at risk to trust a promise like that."
Agreed.
In fact, I gotta say it's actually rather profound, especially when one considers that it's written by a guy who IMO comes across most times on TV as an unserious jerk and virtually a total cynic.
(As an aside, I'm wondering how this essay got thru the editorial filters at Breitbart.com, since that site has recently seemed to be a hotbed of adulation for DT. Moreover, I can't imagine Andrew Breitbart would be altogether pleased by the usually-uncritical Trump coverage that of late has characterized the eponymous site he founded.)
