But he also knows that using the bully pulpit to push back against the remorseless one-way cultural warfare of the left is one of the most powerful tools a president has Which is why Trump is doing so well. People are sick and tired of hearing the left's side of the story.

This little gem shows why everyone is scared of Trump - even Clintons
"He moved the meter on the "war on women", too. Mrs Clinton pulled out the card, and Trump flung it right back in her face with her sleazy sociopath of a husband's four decades of abuse against vulnerable women. Hillary's now backed off."

The reason I like Trump, is the same reason I listen to Rush and Mark....I am a male and my brain is wired in certain fashion, much the same as Trump, Rush and Mark....

My personal favorite:
If the national GOP is a vehicle for ensuring that John Boehner, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan have a car and driver and a Gulf Emir-sized retinue, then it's very effective. If it's a vehicle for advancing conservative principles, then it's a rusted-up lemon on cinder blocks.

This was fun to read. I was at one of Trump’s first rallys in South Carolina. What Mark described was exactly what I saw and felt...sans protesters ...there were none at our venue. So the message and process is staying the same. That says something to me, it’s not a choreographed show, it a real thing. It made me a little nervous that there is no script...Trump delivers without a net. But when through, you have that same feeling of relief when the daredevil walks away from the feat unharmed. We came away excited and happy. Never walked away from a political rally feeling like that before. Thanks for the post.

Steyn may not have explicitly endorsed Trump in the article, but he sure didn’t raise any red flags - seems he’s impressed with ‘;The Donald” as his own man who doesn’t need a bunch of folks telling him how to act and talk.

Looks like Mark Steyn’s first-account observations and generally accepted liberal punditry don’t match up. I’ll take Steyn’s.

Great final line:
It felt good to be taking it to the other side's turf. And they'd like a lot more of it between now and November. Which is what some of us have been observing since about the third debate...it appears Trump has pivoted to a general election mode.
And he doesn't even have to WIN Vermont or Massachusetts or New Jersey, etc. He merely has to make those states competitive, because that will force Hitlery to spend money there.

Nice post!
FReepers will get a kick out of Mark Steyn's humorous analysis of Trump's Burlington rally last night.
The guy's brilliant.

So many people do not get Trump’s amazingly natural comedy chops. Mark, a theater critic, certainly does.

He changed the debate on illegal immigration. He said he'd build a wall and close the border and as the months passed and his competitors saw his surge, they too were suddenly, clearly, aggressively for ending illegal immigration. This is why only Trump can be trusted on immigration. Every other candidate was for some type of amnesty until Trump "changed the conservation".
