The Left can’t explain Donald Trump’s success — Let me help you
The Washington Times ^ | 12/23/2015 | L. Todd Wood

1. America is tired of having a weak leader who does not stand up for American interests globally. Mr. Obama's agenda is not the national security of the United States. On the contrary, it is some 'progressive' goal of reducing American power worldwide. Our domestic safety has been weakened as well and the people know it, no matter what Obama says. The main job of the federal government is to provide for the common defense. Mr. Obama has not lived up to that mandate. They believe Mr. Trump will do this magnificently.

2. America is tired of uncontrolled immigration. This anger cuts across party and socioeconomic lines. Americans are not racist; they just want immigrants to follow the law and the government to enforce those laws. Obviously the Obama administration has had no intention of doing so. African-Americans and other minorities are hurt by people coming in doing jobs for nothing. It's not that Americans don't want jobs, they just want to be paid a decent amount for them. Besides the economic angle, the White House has an agenda of changing the demographics of the country. That has made people livid. Mr. Trump is the only one that will say it.

3. America wants a smaller federal government that is not fascist. Having the IRS, the federal tax agency with enormous power, attack the political opposition, is fascism. It's not the only federal agency that has done so. People want the government out of their lives. They want to be free. They want this smaller government to do what it does well. This administration is incompetent, whether you look at the VA, the Secret Service, Obamacare, et cetera. They don't have confidence in the executive branch. On the flip side, they think Trump can get it done.

It’s because people are as sick of career politicians as they are the media.

The headline singles out Democrats. It needs to include the Republican Establishment as well. It was two short years ago that the Republican Elites thought they could disregard the Tea Party. It was dead as far as get were concerned and they were going to win the next election without giving the Tea Party the time of day. Now it is the Republican Elites who find themselves without a home because there is a reformation taking place. The Republican Party is not going anywhere and the Elitists need to find a new home in the Democrat Party.

And in picking a total outsider to rule them, America will not only get all three but a ruler who cannot govern.

It’s obvious that every other candidate does.

A ruler can only govern by consent of the governed. If the governed choose the ruler, they are giving their consent. Now, where it goes from there remains to be seen.

Trump will make America great again. It takes strength and the courage to stand up against the communists Democrats and the traitorous bunch of Republicans.

Nice article. I sure agree with the first three points at least!!!

I’m not sure Trump is the perfect person for the job, but he’s better than almost all the career politicians. I still hope Cruz can pull off the candidacy, perhaps with Trump as the VP.

The Tea Party needs to capture the GOP—drive out the RINOs like St. Pat drove out the snakes! They did their best to lock the people out of the Party—it is time to break open the gates and bring the GOP back—and with her—the nation. Trump is a strange choice to be the leader—but he is what we have now—and we can wait no more. Trump/Cruz with help from Mike Lee and Sarah Palin just might do it! But the fight will be hard—Trumps election is only the start. Hell is not easily assaulted. But as Thomas Paine said long ago—the harder the battle, the more glorious the Victory.

Agree with you - we need to do for good with the republican party what the leftists have done for evil with the democrat party. The leftists organized, acted together, drove out those who opposed them, and made the democrat party into a socialist/communist/hedonist cabal. We need to make the republican party into a truly constitutional, conservative, pro-American party. That will provide institutional access to elective office for constitutional conservatives.
