I feel like Hank Rearden at his meeting with all the looters. The code of GOPe has been unlocked, and it's as much of an oligarchy as the Democrats are socialist.
Jonah can stick his intervention down his mom pants.
If Jeb got the nomination and Trump ran third party, would you vote for Trump? I would.
...”The GOP is paying the price for not listening to its base. Let the chips fall where they may. I am enjoying watching the RINOs (Goldberg include) squirm.”...
Sadly, yes.
Jonah, Trump is the measure of the Republican stupidity. THEY created the vacuum.
I remember that.
I remember Trump giving an interview at that time, espousing socially liberal views, and thanking God he wasn’t going to be President.
...”Fan also stands for Fantastic, as in fantastic someone finally had the courage to say seal the border, stop the mass immigration insanity.”...
Yes and just look at the punishment which followed for speaking the truth.
Why did Jonah Goldberg repeat that line twice? Very unusual.
Jonah, again thanks to Mom, is rich and famous and doesn’t give a hoot about the people living in NYC walk-ups or those who live in “fly-over” country. He’s got his, he’s part of the corrupt and wealthy Beltway, and that’s all there is to it. Happened to Peggy Noonan and that Kathleen Parker hag as well.
I’ll say this.
In the last year of his life, Ed McMahon was very sick and bankrupt. He was losing his home, IIRC.
Donald Trump helped him out - without a lot of fanfare.
Because of that, I respect Trump. I won’t vote for him, but I do respect him.
Precisely.
Perfect! Exactly what we should do:
“enjoy Trump but please still vote C
Perfect!! to quote:
“enjoy Trump but please still vote Cruz,”
Excellent advice.
The problem with Jonah. and most of the conservative media in general, is that they live in an echo chamber with little or no influence on the public at large. The 2012 election really solidified that notion for me. I’m smart enough to figure out who to support and vote for without his help. And no, I’m not buying your next book.
NUT meet SHELL:
Conservatives and disillusioned Americans are not flocking to Donald Trump because he will cure what is wrong with the Democrats’ governance, they are desperate to find someone as an antidote to elitist, statist one-party rule waxing more intrusive than tyrannical every day. The Republican Party in Washington was given Congress to stop Obama care and, as one FReeper has already observed, gave us Obama trade instead.
That’s the whole thing right there.

The wreckage of the Republican Party is not the work of Donald Trump, it is the work of John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, George Bush and Karl Rove and many others who are considerably wealthier today than when they started.
Jonah Goldberg, where were you when we were being sold out?
Seriously, if there's anyway to get these three paragraphs to him? It sums up exactly what has happened to get us to this circus we see today.
I can still remember his kindness towards the Central Park jogger. He really turned on the media at that time, excoriating the criminality of the underclass.
I’m not voting for him but am so enjoying his run.
Mr. Trump brings together people whose children were killed by illegal aliens and lets them tell their stories.
They slam the press for not reporting the news of how illegal aliens who committed crimes were let go or got off with light sentences, only to be back on the street to kill more innocent people.
Listen to the people tell their stories. The press certainly isn't.
Here it is again:
...”Trump is going to pull away votes, conservatives will be disappointed...AGAIN. How many will stay home and not vote this time because of this game from Trump?”...
I think it is a mute point and I am thankful that someone had the guts to state a truth that the richest in the country will not go near. We are frequently told how Washington D.C. has no unemployment and how two counties there are the richest in the nation. How are these “servants” so rich, pray tell? Well, they are living off the sweat and blood of the commonplace folks in the heart of America (rest of the country) who now have no voice because the major news media is a part of that rich of richest governments in the world. Donald Trump did not get his wealth from robbing the federal coffers and that is why he can speak the truth. I think most people are devastated by what they know is happening even if they do not understand it. I think it is possible that the 2016 elections will not be fair but will be fixed. We might have had our last fair election in 2014 which was immediately nullified by the leaders in the Senate and the House. That landslide didn’t matter in the end and such a thing is very discouraging to voters regardless of who the candidate is. I think Hillary Clinton knows all of this and that is why she does not really have to run to win.
Jeb will not get my vote under any circumstance...Jeb is the spawn of the looters and crony capitalists.
Sorry, found this article to be a tad condescending. What’s with the book mention?
So it’s ok for his boss and friend to take the same positions as Trump but not ok for Trump to do it?
I feel like I just chewed a whole lotta gum and the flavor’s gone. Reads like someone who got their feelings hurt by Trump. It’s a big “so” for me.
