Trump is the strongman we don't need
CNN ^ | August 20, 2015 | Alex Castellanos, Republican Strategist

Help Wanted: Desperate U.S. political party looking for benevolent dictator. Need outsider who can break some China (so to speak.) Dedication to conservative principles or loyalty to party is unimportant. Opposition to unaffordable spending, unsustainable entitlements or expansions of federal muscle are no longer required. We will give you all the power you need to make America great again.

Donald Trump does not make mistakes, as he is unafraid to tell you: "Every time they say I make a mistake, my poll numbers go up," he told reporters in Iowa. Trump informs us he does not ask God for forgiveness. After all, God hasn't asked Trump for the same.

Desperate people do desperate things, however, and the American people despair their country is failing. Many Republican primary voters and caucus goers, meanwhile, believe they need a manly disciplinarian more than another pliable GOP leader. They are tired of their party's flaccid incrementalism and think only bold action can save their country, teetering on a ledge....

Castellanos is the Republican strategist we don’t need. Their very best idea for political victory is 1000 Points of Light, part III.

The situation is desperate! We teeter on the brink of disaster! This is not the time to elect a strong leader with a plan to save us!

>> Let him guide you to a third Bush candidacy.

You got that one right.

Candidacy is all it’ll ever be. Pray GOD it doesn’t materialize.

I can’t for the life of me figure out how these zero-credibility (R) “strategists” feed themselves. They have no credibility. I guess they have tapped in to the same mojo that keeps weathermen employed.

Don’t you know that CNN was just elated to get a “Republican Strategist” like this to come on their show.

The reason people want the strongman is because of the clowns.

We need something better than both.

But for now we got the strongman.

Alejandro "Alex" Castellanos is a Cuban American political consultant. He has worked on electoral campaigns for Republican candidates including Bob Dole, George W. Bush, Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney. - Wiki

Oh boy! A quadruple cornucopia of conservative compassion. A real winner here.

There will be a “cleansing” after the GOP nominates Bush. I, and many others, will wash our hands of the whole bunch.

I don't think this will happen.

It would guarantee a third party run and kill the GOP.

And frankly, I think Trump could win a third party run.

"Help Wanted: Desperate U.S. political party looking for benevolent dictator."

We already have him. His name is Barack Obama.

Hasn’t Rush called out Alex Castellanos by name as one of those squishy GOP consultants?
