The American political class has failed the country, and should be fired. That is the clearest message from the summer surge of Bernie Sanders and the remarkable rise of Donald Trump.
“Wall Street owns the country. It is no longer a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, but a government of Wall Street, by Wall Street, and for Wall Street. The great common people of this country are slaves, and monopoly is the master.”
Yet the stagnation of workers’ wages as the billionaire boys club admits new members, and the hemorrhaging of U.S. jobs under trade deals done for the Davos-Doha crowd, has created a blazing issue of economic inequality that propels the Sanders campaign.
Between his issues and Trump’s there is overlap. Both denounce the trade deals that deindustrialized America and shipped millions of jobs off to Mexico, Asia and China. But Trump has connected to an even more powerful current.
That is the issue of uncontrolled and illegal immigration, the sense America’s borders are undefended, that untold millions of lawbreakers are in our country, and more are coming. While most come to work, they are taking American jobs and consuming tax dollars, and too many come to rob, rape, murder and make a living selling drugs.
Moreover, the politicians who have talked about this for decades are a pack of phonies who have done little to secure the border.
Trump boasts that he will get the job done, as he gets done all other jobs he has undertaken. And his poll ratings are one measure of how far out of touch the Republican establishment is with the Republican heartland.

I don’t want to offend the...going know where decorum folks...but Trump as a persistent agitator is a good thing.
Else we all gather around Jeb, the best guy to finish second!
“I think the Toup has peaked too early he will be out by Christmas,”
I predict that Hillary will divorce Bill, marry Jeb and start a monkey farm outside of DC and name all their kids Vince Foster or Et Tu Brute. The marriage will be considered somewhat on-the-rocks after Jeb stomps Hillary’s n*ts into the concrete on April 15, 2017, after paying a $1,000,000,000,000 settlement to the IRS.
Yes, he can win. I think even Buchanan underestimates Trump’s Dem support in a race vs Hillary.
Have you ever noticed who and what the people are who oppose Trump? Well, I will tell you. Globalists, Democrats, liberal Republicans, amnesty supporters (Kaisch, Rubio, Jeb, etc.), entire news media, etc. I have had my fill of Republicans telling us “what we won’t to hear” (the latest piece of crap in Louisiana is Bill Cassidy) and then going to the Congress and telling us by their votes to go to hell. If Trump is no conservative, he fits right in. Conversely, I have seen talk on TV for years, and most of what he said was conservative. Therefore, I don’t feel worried.
+1.
“Come on, the guy isn’t infallible for gosh sakes.”
Please point out to me where I stated that.
“He can’t debate...not in the arena of ideas.”
How do you know that?
“Tapper hit on it the other day.”
Is the liberal idiot now your expert, or is HE saying what you want to hear also?
“BTW, why isn’t he doing the NH debate?”
I have no clue. I am sure he has his reasons. According to your thinking, he is probably trembling with fear.
After reading three of Trump’s books and getting more insight into the man, I would not rule out Trump going all the way. I think he will get Democrat votes and minority votes that other GOP candidates would not get.
That’s just not true.
The people on our side who oppose trump just happen to understand what his politics are.
While I applaud him in his entertaining battle with the left and some of our centrist moderates over immigration and the debt, I also know he’s no good on the constitution, like the 2nd amendment, abortion, gays, and most everything to be frank.
Eventually all this is going to haunt him as it’s in his own words, not just rumors.
I don’t know what else I can tell you. But I can tell you that I would have a hard time voting for him.
That certainly could be possible.
If that were the case then conservative won’t play much of a role in the 2016 election and that tracks with my own predictions in 2012.
It isn’t just you...all Trump supporters think he is the next coming or something. It is wrong and ridiculous. But to equate his negotiation skills with a televised political debate and being good at both is silly too.
Just listen when Trump speaks...he NEVER says much of substance. He talks, but says nothing. I think it will be the same in the debate.
So, now Tapper is a Liberal idiot (like all other people who challenge Trump)...I see. Funny, but Trapper didn’t say this, an article posted on FR said it. I just used Trappers interview as an example.
The NH debate thing was posted earlier too. His reason is that the group hosting was mean to him. Petty reason, but bottom line, he finked out.
That’s impressive. Looks like he is having fun spending his money with mostly nothing as a financial return. Looked like a lot of young people. cheap with lots of energy. the marketing vp might be twenty something.
Brad Nagel in Iowa is impressive
The debates will enhance Trump in the eyes of people who have not seen him speak live and spontaneously.
It is those other candidates who will continue to be tentative and unwilling to commit to genuine policy initiatives who will be left flailing in Trump’s campaign wake.
Have you even paid attention to what is happening already along the campaign trail? That seems unlikely if you really think that the debates are likely to injure Trump more than they will those unfocused pretenders.
Did you vote for Corker and Alexander?
Ditto Beck, Bennett, Ingraham... none of them know it, tho’, they just keep offending
No kidding. The GOPe is loaded with with Olympic-class high-divers.
"But Donald Trump will not attend the event after the organizers published a brutal hit piece on the GOP front-runner."
"Candidate Trump bowed out because, an aide said, he was upset with a Union Leader editorial this week that mocked him for saying that U.S. Sen. John McCain was not a war hero."
the republicans have become hard lefties.
Link does not work...and now I am curious what the line-up is
