You Trumpkins should like this one. Doesn't rectify Lowry's prior crudity, but it is a neat analysis.

Not sure why he would have been hurt by Paris...

In other words, Rich Lowry is making the long-distance argument that Trump is a proto-Hitler. Note the use of “folk community,” which is to be benefited by any means necessary (national socialism).

“...no one else could get away with being so careless and insulting...”

Stopped reading right there. The problem with the establishment is that regardless as to how much Republicans and Democrats pretend to hate each other in public, they are best friends behind closed doors. They attend the same parties and country clubs and vacation in the same places. They live in an insulated bubble that is devoid of reality, while the rest of us live in the real world and are sick and tired of their insults, condensation and rebuke of us, our values and opinions. I believe Trump understands that and has tapped into our frustration.

Go Trump! Go!

Rhymes with "Munchkins" - I assume that's what you think of Trump supporters?

Hmm. Funny. I’ve been wondering how all these fake conservative Trump deniers we’re going to rectify their stated repulsion of Trump and you got it in in the first post

Gutfeld will have a tough time keeping credibility if he doesn’t go out of hate Trump mode. Forget Perino

It looks like Lowery may have popped his head out for some air. Hopefully, he will prefer it.

This is the same person that said “Carly Cut Off Donald Trump’s B@lls With Precision of a Surgeon” on Kelly File not to long ago. Rich Lowry is filth in my humble opinion.

Good article. Surprising since it’s coming from a GOP toadie at National Review.

I have an ancestor who was a neighbor of Jackson and was one of his electors. I guess my Jacksonian tendencies are in my blood.

Trumpkin is actually a good and clever character in C.S. Lewis' Prince Caspian. A no-nonsense, loyal, down to earth fellow, though he has his doubts about Aslan.

Jackson also got rid of the first Central Bank in America. Amazing that the Federal Reserve put him on the $20 dollar bill (that was probably done as an insult.)

The last patriot elected POTUS was a celebrity. Guess who.

Lowery is soon to be irrelevant along with all the other hate filled flying monkeys of the media.

In that case, Trump's should be the new face on the $20 bill.
