I am well aware of that.

Katie Pavlich is the one whom I am most disappointed in on that list. I had nothing but respect for her until she started smack talking Trump.

What is it about Donald Trump that gets these people so twisted up they can’t think normally.

I used to have tremendous respect for Andy McCarthy.

Ya know, I was very disappointed at NRO and others for trashing Trump but once he became the republican nominee most came around to support him. That’s a healthy sign of vigorous debate within the party.

What I will never understand is the total lack of debate within the democrat party. Their nominee was a pathetic piece of excrement as evidenced by Trump’s resounding EC victory, yet nobody in her party stepped up to oppose or even critique her. Bernie was a joke. Elected officials, the media, popular culture, and the rest of the progressive socialists were moot.

[Robert DeLong]

While I agree with your assessment, this one significantly toned down that animosity. It gave credit where credit was due, and questioned how deep the knowledge went. He offered advice and actually stated that Trump is on the correct approach, and that he should not overlook the true motivations that drive radical and even other factions within the Islamic religion. Namely Sharia superiority. It is the obstacle that must be fought and conquered if there is ever to be a change with Islam that will facilitate peace among the religions.

All in all I thought it was a thoughtful and respectful piece.

I must admit that I started reading with a completely biased attitude that I would reject this piece. However, I can find no real fault with it because it does not start with the premise that his questions regarding Trump, prove that Donald Trump does not fully understand the problem. He s actually encouraged by what he sees, as I was encouraged by what I read.
