Put another way, as Sean Connery said in "The Untouchables": "He brings a knife, you bring a gun...that's the Chicago Way".
Trump is the only national Republican figure who knows how to do that.
Trump plays to win, in marked contrast to everyone else in the GOP.
He’s the first since Reagan and to a certain, much lesser extent Newt, to be able to go around the lamestream media directly to the People. This is a key attribute for any Republican, one which the national GOP leadership doesn’t seem to “get”.
Trump is probably the only national figure equipped by his temperament and training to take on the guttersnipe leftists who have been weaned on the teet of the abominable Saul Alinsky and his school of leftist subversion.
Trump is the only national Republican figure who knows how to do that.
To those people upset at his tactics and his “lack of manners,” etc., all that I can say is that Donald J. Trump is leading a counter-revolution against the Leftist scourge that has largely taken over this nation’s schools, media and political leadership. People who lead a counter-revolution tend to be a little rough around the edges - deal with it, or continue to watch the country you knew as a kid and a young adult get flushed down the toilet bowl of history. Washington was the indispensable man of his era, someone without whom the American Revolution would have failed. Trump, for all of his faults and foibles (and some of them are quick endearing, IMHO), is today’s indispensable man - without him, upending the Leftists would be impossible, as NO ONE ELSE is equipped by his temperament and life experiences to succeed in doing so.
Politico’s journalistic MO seems to be:
find some dirt on trump
if no dirt on trump found, then find some dirt on someone who knows trump
add water to make mud
throw the mud at trump and see if anything sticks to him
repeat entire process ad nauseum
Gosh.
A FIGHTER......................
...........and on OUR side, too.
I never thought I’d see the day.
Adios mofo Politico losers! You will be without a job in 2017 like the other Never Trumpers!
Something the old media doesn’t mention—guess who else was closely advised by Roy Cohn?
Norm Peale.
