Interesting article until the last phrase, implying those who vote for Trump have no class, or are in some objectionable class. Low? While I do not approve of some of the things Trump says--especially his profanity or vulgarity or blasphemy--I do approve of his America first position.

Many of the GOP politicians seem not interested in such a stance. And many of them apparently want to be friends with the media, the Democrats, and the enemies of the USA. And those three classes will never be friendly with people who support the United States. I think they hate this country and the patriots who love it.

I don’t think they hate the country.

They are just used to getting along and going along and the trump aggressive positions threatens their long held views of what a politician should be. So people like Bush never attack their opponents. And of course they get creamed at every opportunity.

Meanwhile trump knows that being aggressive can win popular support. The down side is that trumps acidic approach can turn off people who would otherwise support his policies. Only time will tell if he will be successful getting all the necessary voters he needs as a minority party to succeed.

his profanity or vulgarity or blasphemy
You don't know what you're talking about. You're parroting what you heard some other dinglberry's say.

Agreed, the end of the article ruined it for me. For that matter, the article never addressed the subject, How Trump Vanquished One-Time Conservative Contenders. The article lists those who vere vanquished and that's about it.

It would be interesting to know President Trump did it. For starters, I think Donald Trump was underestimated. He was neither an academic, nor a career politician. It should be remembered that another businessman, Hermain Cain, was leading the field (2012?) until the liberal press took him out. Businessmen outsiders cannot be counted out. Trump reacted to attacks, rather than politely take it on the chin, the Republican way. He was a fighter and would fight for us. Trump talked sense, at least as he saw it, instead of following polling and the advice of handlers. Trump was patriotic, loving America and Americans.

After four years of President Trump, it can be safely said that he made America great again. That counts for more in my book than the author's lament that Trump lacked class.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way. Trump led. The article provided a list of those unwilling to follow. Now, they are out of the way.

This article hits on a principle I really adhere to.

Those who try to straddle straddle straddle fail.

I prefer a candidate who has principled and consistent positions. If I don’t agree with a couple of them I can still support him.

But if he wanders all over the field he has lost me.
