"But Trump is not just running against Bushism. He's running against what it's a symptom of the certain kind of insider sophistry that he says defines the political class. That's why he was onstage at all last night. That's why he's in first place now. And that's why he's more at home in the GOP than so many want to admit."

5 minutes - thats it? WOW! The woman thinks that the presidency is going to be handed to her on a silver platter because the DNC is not going to let Bernie get the Dem nom. I am not a Trump supporter but if he wins the Republican nomination, I will hold my breath and vote for him even though I have serious doubts about him. Any one of the Republican candidates would be a hell of a lot better than that old hag.
RE: You should try reading it someday
I’m shocked! That leaves the assumption you have. Which is amazing for a knuckle-dragging trumpbot
Trumpbot? Upon what do you base this accusation? Or are you another one of those idiots who throw baseless accusations because it gives you some immature thrill?
Exactly. Trump is also playing a politically smart move and is sure to pick up a few cross over votes by this stance.
It wasn’t until Trump supporters were so vitriolic about Cruz that I wondered if TRUMP’s people weren’t paid. Before that, never crossed my mind. There are DT supporters who only post to campaign articles. Nothing else. Not military, not immigration, not general politics, not “local” news.
Trump has it right, as the article in The Week said’
“But Trump is not just running against Bushism. He’s running against what it’s a symptom of â the certain kind of insider sophistry that he says defines the political class. That’s why he was onstage at all last night. That’s why he’s in first place now. And that’s why he’s more at home in the GOP than so many want to admit.
To understand how that could possibly be, understand what he’s not arguing.
The typical critique of politics today is that the ruling class has been corrupted by privilege. There’s too much money in politics; there’s too much of a cult of access; the tropes go on and on. Trump’s not saying that. Instead, he’s saying, the ruling class has been corrupted by foolishness. The problem isn’t that “the politicians” have vanished behind the velvet rope. It’s that they’ve vanished up their own rear ends. Obsessed with themselves, they have forgotten who they are. They have lost their way â and ours.
Hard as it is to stomach or say, that is a kind of wisdom so deep, so populist, and so potent that many conservatives can’t help but flutter toward it. Then again, neither can many moderate or liberal Republicans, which is why Trump performs well across all groups.”
Those who attack Trump because he’s not 100% against Planned Parenthood are hung up on one issue when Trump sees the big evil in or ruling class that allowed PP to come about.
Yeah, I agree. It’s sad. :-(
