And then came Trump.
So: What I’m suggesting is that the weird timing of the meltdown and the rise of Obama hindered and delayed a reckoning for 2008 that everybody would have expected as a matter of course had the crisis hit earlier. Now, there were certainly suggestions of extra-political populist rage along the way
The Tea Party was one, though it focused on size-of-government issues, and Occupy Wall Street was another, though its anti-banker message was swamped by every far-left bugaboo on earth. But the signs were easy to misread—obviously, since almost everyone misread them.
And this is why, I think, the meaning of Trump is being misused and misunderstood. He says he wants to “make America great again,” but I don’t think that’s what his acolytes hear. I think they hear that he is going to turn his vicious temper and unbalanced rage on the large-scale forces they feel are hindering them. They want someone punished. Could be China. Could be Muslims. Could be Mexicans. Could be bankers. Could be the GOP “establishment.” Whatever. He’s their Punisher.

I hope Thump wins the oval office
Then these guys can tell us how stupid we are for voting for him
This is a repeat of 1980
These protests will ensure his victory
Oh yes, there is such a shortage of theories about Trump! Thank God there is another rationalization of what he is about.
Trump is the vehicle
Here we go again. Poor Podhoretz is beating his head against the wall again. These poor brittle souls just can’t cope with reality.
This is a comment by another wannabe political analyst who is off base. Too bad for him.
Donald Trump is a Christian Nationalist who is listening to the people of America, and who has the wherewithal to accomplish what he is proposing.
Those attempting to criticize the Donald after a superficial "analysis" of what he represents are becoming tedious and repetitious, in other words, boring.
Trump is remaking the Republican party into one that is responsive to the needs of Americans. Jobs. Security. Hope for our children's futures.
I expect a message to A/A's shortly:
"I'm rebuilding the Republican Party. I want to invite you to join and be a part of the party of economic prosperity, safety and security, and an America-first point of view."
And watch the liberal heads explode.
Mhm. I guess he's talking about the "unbalanced rage" as shown in (what is at this moment) Donald's latest tweet:
THANK YOU ARIZONA! 20,000 amazing supporters! Get out and #VoteTrump on Tuesday. I love you!
We also can't forget Donald's slogan: Make America Great Again!
With slogans and tweets like these, Trump sure is showing off just how unbalanced and dangerous he is!
(Do I really need to put a sarcasm tag on that last statement?)
Another twit with TDS chimes in.
I said this once before here. The Trump phenomenon is because Trump is an individual with a very rare combination of strengths. The rest of us more or less wait for the arrival of people like him.
what did I say about his rhetoric being about might???
Another condescending piece by another condescending establishment a$$hole.
i’m taking nothing for granted,
told my half liberal nephew i’d put him through a wall if he votes dem.
but with a dam democracy, there’s no way of knowing :)
BTW, I made my THIRD call in three days to reps telling them NO funny business at convention or third party crap.
night not help but might.
haven’t gotten much of a response here.
it takes TWO MINUTES!!!!
I think Trump is potentially motivated to become President as a last Harrah than anything else. He’s a 70 year old man, who is starting to enter the twilight of his years and this is his last chance to leave as big a mark as he can.
What you're suggesting is that the elitist in crowd knows what's best for all of the ignorant masses, the same thing every other " Theory of Trump" suggests one way or another.
Unfortunately for you and your ilk, we ignorant voters know exactly what we're getting with Trump and exactly what we want; an end to the destructive globalist blood sucking you elitists depend on to thrive.
I am so tired of these people.
