WaPo: It is well-meaning to promise people things that can't possibly be delivered and will bankrupt the government in the process ... it is ugly and scary to attempt to rein in an abusive and out-of-control government.

The utter desperation and mewling of WAPO made me smile, for their suffering brings me joy!

The media couldn’t force Trump out by lying about what he was saying, so NOW it is trying to shame the voters.

Interesting play, Washington COMpost, but I think most people are on to your game: denigrate anything that reeks of conservatism. If one ploy doesn’t work, you try another.

The law of diminishing returns may have reached the breaking point for this method. Experience shows YOUR candidates have betrayed the citizenry. Many have stopped listening to the lies you print, broadcast, publish.

Trump has the Washington Compost frightened, that's a good thing. So much for the moronic theory that the libtard media "likes" Trump, he's like holy water to those demonic f--ks, "NOOOOOOOO, it BURNS!!!"

Sleazy politicians no more.

We need to destroy the existing political powers that be. Trump has he balls to do that.

WaPo has soiled itself many times over the years. This is just one more journalistic bowel movement by the NYT wannabe.

No street cred at all.

The Wapo has to realize that these voters are almost all graduates of the government schools they support.

The villains for Mr. Trump are "stupid" people running the government who allow foreigners to take advantage of the United States. The solution, well, his solution, is to elect Mr. Trump.
Trump doesn't understand, like Reagan, that government is the problem.

Government isn't inept because of "stupid people" running it. DMVs are the same all over the world because they are run by the government. Government is a monopoly, and monopolies are fat and lazy. This is why government's role is society should be minimized.

Bernie Sanders as “well meaning” reminds me of Putin’s textbooks saying that Stalin meant to create a fair society.

Sarah Palin:

“It’s no surprise pundits and politicos are determined to destroy a candidacy they can’t control or shape with their mere words. Expect marginalization of anyone speaking well of Trump’s efforts. He’s a threat to the permanent political class. Non-traditional candidates always are because when they’re in touch with the people, they show their guts and just do the right thing. They go rogue—and take flak from all sides. Some of us have the scars to prove that.”

“Itty-bitty pundits thinking it’s clever to mock Americans’ opinions are finding the joke is on them. Cozy in their seat of judgment, blowing each other’s horns, protected by a glass screen. Ask yourself: just who ARE these windbags? And what do they build? Towers of paperclips? Lists of Twitter followers? Trump’s supporters are delightedly defying pithy prim “opinion makers” who think Americans are incapable of choosing our leaders without their dictates. The more the spotlight-seekers smear Trump, the more popular he gets. A friend emailed, “Tell those smart alecks bashing Trump on TV, ‘I love him because YOU hate him!’””

In a roundabout way, the Post has hit on the magic of Trump’s formula: he is a Republican who campaigns and fights like a Democrat. The Post and other Democratic mouthpieces and hacks have good reason to fear such a combination.

But Mr. Sanders's platform is at least well-meaning.

Oh, my, that certainly is giving Sanders a lot of credit. It is way more than he deserves.

The socialist end-state is always a society that looks a lot like feudal Europe--most people living in miserable poverty, with a very few positioned at the top living in luxury. No one who dreams of such an end-state has good intentions.

I think it was a good article to post. Sanders is selling young people on the snake oil that the government has any money other than what their parents give it and that government can successfully manage ANYTHING. Trump is trying to over shout that by declaring the hubris of the politicians and the corrupt bureaucracy. The USA is destined to become Venezuela - we need to have this fight, no matter how bloody.
