Krauthammer: I Was Wrong for Laughing at Trump… Democrats Are Worried
Gateway Pundit ^ | March 17,2016 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 03/17/2016 4:47:45 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Charles Krauthammer finally admitted tonight that he was wrong when he laughing at Donald Trump six months ago. The FOX News pundit has been one of Donald Trump’s leading GOP Beltway detractors.

Krauthammer: He’s demonstrated the ability to bring out people who aren’t regular voters, aren’t regular Republicans, and he could alter the map. I think Democrats who thought six months ago, who thought he was a joke, I thought he was a joke for a nominee for the Republican Party, and a lot of people thought as well.

We were all wrong. So he has a capacity to appeal. So we have no way of knowing. But I do think Democrats are beginning to think that this is not a slam dunk and this guy he doesn’t play by the rules. He makes them up. And under a new set of rules she could lose to him.

When folks still have a dog in the fight the pollsters love those BS assumptions. I project it might be as little as 5% this time around because many on the right are awakening to the fact that Cruz was not what he claimed to be... and Trump is turning out to be exactly what he claims to be.

Nice to see Sauerkraut FINALLY seeing the OBVIOUS.

The question that all us Trump supporters is WHERE THE HELL WAS HE (and others) when we Trump supporters were saying EXACTLY THE SAME.

Whites STILL make up 70% of the voting electorate. Most of them (other than the gays and rich) are DESPISED by Democrats. Most of them (other than the rich) are DESPISED by Republicans. That leaves about 60% of the voting electorate.

Is it any BIG SURPRISE that the first candidate in decades that actually treats these 60% as HUMAN BEINGS is doing well with them? It really doesn’t take a political analyst making $250,000+ per year to figure this out...all it takes is reading a few comments here from people like myself and other Trump supporters.

WE ARE NOT HIDING ANYTHING.

Yep - invaders are invaders, even if they don’t have tanks and helicopter gunships.

If I can force myself to vote for McAinal and Myth, I can vote for Ted.

Have a good evening.

Hey, Hilliarily/Iman Obama, look at a mirror and at the faces of your inner circle to see who is responsible for Islamic Terrorism in America!

ISIS has no Navy, no boats, no ships, no submarines. They have no Air Force, no bombers, no jet fighters, no troop carriers or refueling planes. ISIS has no ballistic missiles, no scuds, no short range missiles. They have no Space Program, no satellites, no real time intelligence.

THE ONLY WEAPON SYSTEMS ISIS HAS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS ARE THE OBAMA/CLINTON/JARRETT/LYNCH/ DHS SECY JEH JOHNSON + the TRAITORS & DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS, WHO DEMAND WE ALLOW MUSLIMS TO IMMIGRATE TO AMERICA TO SLAUGHTER INNOCENT AMERICANS.

Then, they try to disarm us to make us more vulnerable.

With even one more liberal Supreme Court justice, gun rights are gone, and it will be open season on Christianity.

I hope the 37% of Republicans who stay home are OK with that.

“We were all wrong.”

I wasn’t.

Same. I wrote an email to my very lefty lib birth mother in August (on Labor Day) in which I had this line:

"All is well. Enjoying my day off (even though I don't agree with the principal behind the holiday). Hopefully President Trump (looks like it is gonna happen) will change the name to "Capitalism Day" or "Free Market Day". Why not? Obama can rename mountains (and piss off Ohioans)."

She later told me to bite my tongue since not a single primary vote had been cast. I can't wait to email this to her come Nov. 9th.

Mea culpa: When I saw the first thread announcing Trump’s entry into the race, I posted a laugh out loud response to the OP (Cringing Negativism Network).

About a month ago, I openly apologized to him for doing that. He was right. I was wrong.

All I’ve got to say now is, let’s make America great again!

“They see how scared the Left is... Left was never bothered by McCain and Mittens. They were Designated Losers. But Trump is a mortal threat to them.”

This, more than anything else, should help the die-hard Cruzers finally understand Trump’s appeal to the rest of us.

A Republican candidate simply cannot catch this much flak from all our known enemies, unless he (or she) is the real deal. They do not waste such extraordinary amounts of energy against those who they deem to be non threatening.

You’re so wrong about so many things, Krautie, that you shouldn’t be paid for blabbing your closed minded opinions.

dn’t really do so much innovating at all, other than speaking plainly about deportation and The Wall.

It was beach-front intellectual property that GOP dummies had been complacently driving by, and Donald simply SCOOPED IT UP.


Gaijin, your brilliance is showing there.

“Does the 37% of the Republican Party that will not vote for Trump in November worry the Democrats too?”

You mean the 37% who make that claim, eight months away from the general election, when they still hold out some small hope for a different nominee?

Wait until they’re faced with the prospect of having helped elect Monica Lewinsky’s boyfriend’s wife. The vast majority of them will have had their ‘come to Jesus’ moment by then.

Brilliant!

You ought to send that to the Trump campaign.

Amazing what a simple change of accent can do to help you appreciate what Donald’s saying, isn’t it?

“Krauthammer must have had a miraculous change since last night. He was still hating Trump on O’Reilly Wednesday night. He was downright angry even talking about him... didn’t have a kind word anywhere in his dialogue.. O’Reilly doesn’t hate Trump and was trying to get Krauthammer to let up a bit..”

Maybe these out of touch pundiots have been running focus groups with former customers/listeners/viewers, and the results are scaring the hell out of them.
