Donald Trump’s brash and bullying style was learned at the heel of Roy Cohn

Well, that locks up the LGBT vote...

Trump has raised the standard, and Americans are rallying.

Trucons are divided, afraid they will be run over - and they're probably right.

But unless and until America is made great again, conservatism has no future.

Pres Stompy Foot understands that politics is a blood sport (although he tends to faint at the sight of blood) and Trump knows this as well, meaning he will not back down from a fight. Most GOPer’s also faint at the mention of blood (not just the sight) and is the reason they can be rolled again and again.

“Roy Cohn, America’s LEFTISTS’ most loathed yet socially successful defense attorney”

The Left has never forgiven Cohn for the role he played in prosecuting the Rosenbergs. Cohn once wrote that the Left’s narrative that Ethel Rosenberg was a naive, innocent bystander in her husband's nefarious espionage activities was complete bunk. Cohn claimed that Ethel was, in fact, the mastermind of the spy ring.

The friendship they forged would provide the foundation for Trump's eventual presidential campaign.

Is she kidding? Roy Cohn died 29 years ago.

Trump seeks council from qualified people. What a refreshing thought.

Haven’t we had enough of government run from the faculty lounge.

This is pathetic even by communist-agitating Alinskyite methods.

Very well said, and I agree.

May I add Trump is de facto America’s CEO right now. HE is dominating the news cycle; HE is going to the border. The wannabe in White House has gone to the Daily Show after dawdling for a week about ordering flags at half staff.

I dreamed I saw Roy Cohn last night,
alive as you and me.
Says I “But Roy, you’re ten years dead”
“I never died” said he,
“I never died” said he.

We’ve already established that the character of one’s mentors is of no consequence.

The MSM ignored Frank Davis Communist roots and Bill Ayers Terrorist history.

I have concerns about Trump because he is a social liberal. He does however, speak his mind. In some ways (mostly good), he reminds me of Pierre Trudeau. Those who remember Trudeau, will likely spit when they read this and accuse me of being a commie! Trump reminds me of Trudeau (though Trudeau was a socialist), in that both were brilliant, spoke their minds and didn’t suffer those who they felt were idiots, very well. Instead of the ‘milque-toast, mamby-pamby, PC, don’t hurt the feelings of anyone’ politicians of today, Trumps speaks his mind, damn the consequences; very refreshing to see. No ‘nuancing’ in Trump’s words.

While there is tremendous hatred of Roy Cohn by Democrats, more than anything else it is because he was instrumental in tearing apart much of the Soviet sponsored communist infrastructure that had been built in the US. He was also a member of the U.S. Department of Justice’s prosecution team at the espionage trial of nuclear spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.

The bitterness of the left against Cohn, a hate-filled effort to deconstruct his life and legacy, is seen in numerous efforts to retroactively destroy him.

Though likely homosexual himself, he owed no loyalty to homosexual communists, which he purged like all other communists; for which they call him hypocritical. No, that wasn’t hypocrisy. It was patriotism.

Trump is Trump ... we all agree ...

but Fox News(et al) would have Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio FALSELY "dominating" the fixed-political polls and news stories 24/7/365 ...

if Donald Trump hadn't entered the race.



Donald Trump is the Barrack Obama (2008) for the GOP in 2016 ...

Barrack Obama (2008) RESCUED the Democrats from defeat ...

and when elected in 2008 Obama gave the Democrats EVERYTHING they had ever dreamed of ...


Wouldn't it be sweet if (at the end of 2016) ...

A "genuine" anti-illegal immigration, anti-obama-care Conservative President was elected ...

and the "Bush-Karl Rove Clan" was consigned to the political "dust bin of history" ?

Luntz is a duntz.

And increasingly obese, like so many in Washington.

Obama was/is friendly with Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dorn - yet the newsies, libtards and Left-wingers ignored and/or buried the Hell out of that one. Yet now they complain about one of Trump’s friends (who never killed anyone, nor plotted to do the same)?

Pure hypocrisy...which, from the left side of the political spectrum is otherwise known as “Tuesday” or any other day of the week you’d care to mention.

Eff these people, I am so done taking anything they say seriously, because they are completely biased and almost completely uninformed - in addition to being a bunch of lying hypocrites.

Oh, and I’m not even a huge Trump fan (though I’m beginning to really admire his guts and his ability to gore every politician’s ox).

Did they meet at Studio 54? I heard that Trump used to hang out there. Did they have an affair?

So you’re claiming Mr. Trump is a homosexual? Pretty low, even for you.

You eat dry aged and Wagyu steak, heritage pork, lobster, sea bass and prime rib every night, washed down with expensive wine and scotch and see if you don’t gain weight.
