All talk and no action leads to annihilation. The more they speak of Trump in sneering tones of condescension, the stronger he gets.
I kinda look at the flow in a piece before really getting down into the meet. Here, we have reportage of the Trump episodes this week, then Bush and then Walker and then Rubio (why?)......and finally Cruz.....
This tells me the thinking is skewed to start with.
I’m not a Trump voter in the vein as in I want him to win the nomination. For me, he is the focal point of all the anger, resentment, disappointment and disillusionment voters who trusted GOP for years and got stabbed in the back. He resurrected the word “illegal” into our national dialogue. All the other stuff? I don’t care. For me, right here, right now, he is the thumb in the collective eye of the GOP. On target.
Bush? Rubio? why even bother thinking about them. Throw their ballots in the trash and move on. Walker? Nice guy - some good prior work, but struggling. Cruz? My guy - I hope he gets stronger.
“The challengers to Hillary aren’t making much press either. Has that field ‘failed’?”
I would have to say yes but the rats do not have any good people to run. All of their candidates or potential candidates to date are very old and very white. I do not see where they are going to get anybody exciting to watch or listen to. The rats realistically only have a couple of months max to get somebody in if they are going to replace Hillary.
I think it is way too early to proclaim Trump victory as the republicans do have some good people already running and there is still a long time to go before the candidate is settled on. I am enjoying watching Trump a lot. It is very entertaining to hear the wails of the GOP establishment and pundits and the MSM. I intend to enjoy it and see what shakes out.
“His 21st century economic agenda”?
Rubio is a disaster. From his full support for anchor baby-dom to his credit-heavy tax plan. He’s just another Establishment property like Walker or Jeb or Kasich or most of them.
Lowry was a pretty tepid conservative at best.
A lot could happen, but it’s really too late for a GOP candidate to jump in with a hope in Iowa or NH, at least.
Even Biden is looking to skip them if he gets in.
Buckley in his prime, that is.
Yeah, they’d love a field that winnowed down to Bush or Kasich (the open “moderates”) vs. Rubio or Walker as the supposed “conservative”.
And so far Walker and Bush aren’t cutting it.
Yep, Lowry is smoother than the Williamson and Cooke idiots over at NR, but he’s no less vicious and slanted in trying to take down Trump. E.g., Trump “manhandled” Jorge?
Too early for such an analysis. He should try again next March.
Only a person of IMMENSE personality and presence can fill it.
Ergo, Trump.
