I just spent 10 days in a foreign country. I was Fox challenged for the entire period. I am alive to tell you about it. I have to admit CNN is extremely biased but I did learn a lot about their mission. I’m glad most of the week was Papal coverage. They were not trying as hard to bash Trump as Fox has been. Now, I will switch off.
I was particularly impressed with David Rodham Gergen and neocon, Bill Kristol. The smiles and light heart they wore on their faces told it all. They too were actually smitten by Trump’s performance in that interview, against their will, I’m sure. That was a shockingly positive pair on that panel. Bill said himself, “people underestimate Trump’s skill as a politician”. These guys eat politics for a paycheck. They had no criticism of his ability, really. Marvelous.
Polls will surely go over the top on this interview and then it will replay all night long on CNN.
As long as he destroys the existing Republican party and builds a damn wall, I’m okay with Trump.
If we don’t kick out the illegals, we’ll lose every election going forward. It’s ‘game over’ time.
Who is going to stop them? Jeb? Rubio? Carson has come out in favor of amnesty as well.
Cruz would, but he’ll never raise money. In fact, they’d spend money AGAINST him like they did in Mississippi. He’s never going to raise the money to run for President.
It’s Trump vs. Jeb.
Which do you want of those two?
Isn’t that the truth.
It takes such a small sacrifice to lay off the channel guide at FOX News. They will be relentless if there is no push back. I feel it a duty to make such a tiny little effort that together means big results, just for standing against propaganda, and the Leftist trend in the Republican Party & mainstream media.
FOX has been positively wicked to us, and it became an avalanche with Trump in the picture. All of it just to AVENGE MEGYN KELLY. Astounding.
Me too. Since the debate. We all had a huge fit that night, and many burned the FOX channel from that moment on.
I will watch Trump appearances on FOX and hope they see their ratings rocket for that appearance, followed by zero from all of us when it ends! We may have a little power of our own, maybe. They should get the message.
I just may never go back. And, it hasn’t even been hard after the first couple of days! I thought it our duty to do this small thing.
Thanks, I’ll check around. .)
RitaOK, I think a funny thing is going on here.
The right sees Trump as their guy. The Left sees him as their guy.
These guys can’t believe he is a Conservative, so they’re going with it. These are the same folks who predicted he’d drop out by six weeks ago.
Now they’re thinking he’s going to go Left on us. I think they’re in for a big surprise.
Meanwhile, folks who would normally turn off if they thought a guy was a Conservative are suddenly enamored with Trump.
He’s going to be pulling them in from every demographic.
He has traditional FoxNews viewers. He now has MSNBC vieweres. He has huge crowds.
Gergen and Kristol are behind the curve. The world is passing them by.
They don’t get it and haven’t for a number of years.
Great post.
I pledge to never, ever get on your lawn.
Such a simple request that never gets fulfilled. I thought it was a good interview, also.
probably only a momentary lapse, but I really enjoyed it.
You are so out of bounds here, don't think it would really help to reply ... "record breaking" negatives? get real.
It was ACTUALLY Kristol who said Trump is being underestimated as a politician, and Hillary Rodham Gergen agreed! Shocking.
Can’t wait for Morning Joe in the AM.
Think I'm going to try and catch it also ... see ya there!

September 16th was his 3-month anniversary in the race. Think about it! What he’s done, what’s he changed, who he’s shaken up - 3 months! think about 6 months OR 4 YEARS!!
Spot on, tbf!!
SE Mom...Trump is leading in a way we’ve not seen, in decades. He’s taking NO prisoners, and he’s completely changed the DC landscape (think illegal immigration being discussed at the debates, Boehner resigning, etc)
Read about his family’s past (interesting American dream roots), and his positions....he’s the ONLY one laying out his positions like this, while garnering the support he is.
This is just Trump being Trump, it's probably nothing at all different for him.
Just think of America as an ice rink in need of saving...
''Back in June (1986), when the city's bungled, six-year effort to renovate the Wollman Ice-Skating Rink in Central Park was $12 million over budget with no end in sight, real-estate tycoon Donald Trump stepped forward.
Just give the project to me, he said, and I'll finish the rink by Christmas. This Christmas. And for free.
"I have total confidence that we will be able to do it," Trump said at the time. "I am going on record as saying that I will not be embarrassed."
Yesterday morning, in a gala ceremony down in the sunken, tree-shrouded gulch just off Central Park South, Trump unveiled his completed rink - the ''largest man-made skating rink in the world," glistening with a mirror- perfect sheath of virgin ice.
He was two months ahead of schedule, and $750,000 under budget.''

The Bush Tax RATE Cuts increased Tax Revenue from $1.75 Trillion in 2003 to $2.5 Trillion in 2007.
Reagan’s Tax RATE Cuts doubled Tax Revenue in 8 Years, $500 Billion to One Trillion Dollars.
To be fair, Obama is raking in the Bucks reaching record Tax Revenue numbers. Still trying to figure that out, but I suspect it has more to do with Population Growth and the Stock Market “recovery”.
Here's a link for the entire press conference. He was really in command and on his game... worth watching, not too long.

Yep, and we all deserve it.
Defense, too?
Top tier earners are doing great, so that means lots of tax revenue. Ordinarily, this would appear fine, but, the problem is that the middle class is being hammered.

Oh,oh, those lines could describe the pope. lol!
I believe Trump to be seemingly more secular in my view, a live and let live type of person, not a moralist. That may be enough to secure him more General Election votes than we know, surely enough to beat Hillary, unless America is truly gone. It is enough for me that I believe he is truthful on the PP atrocities and also quite serious about religious liberty.
I would expect him to leave the moral conditioning of the USA up to the churches and to us to correct, but to not interfere as we attempt to persuade and activate this GOP congress.
Rubio is a liberal, however, he will likely inherit the Bush machine by December, if Bush can’t turn the corner immediately. Single digits will not fly, past November.
That’s a great story and perfect analogy. The story of the Wollman Rink is discussed in depth in his book, Art of the Deal.
