This piece was published Friday, before the Drudge and Time Mag polls showing Trump winning the debate at 45% and 47% respectively.

The elitist Republican machine has become so loathsome, that being its enemy is a kind of endorsement.

I urge FReepers to read the rest of the article at the link, to learn what an unreconstructed Communist thinks.

Next thing you know, Fox will be warning us that Trump is more powerful than p*ssy. The Republican base will naturally assume Trump is immune from the “War on Women”, and his poll numbers will reach astronomical levels.

In war, whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

They fired their best shots at the Donald. They missed. He fired back. He hit the target.

At this point in the battle, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

Trump is no Goldwater (Senator, U.S.A.F. Brig. Gen.) and the Goldwaters (owned department store chain) were no Trump but otherwise..

I remember election 1964..

Borrowing the words of the dominant Rockefeller Republicans in 1964 "We [have] to destroy Barry Goldwater Donald Trump as a member of the human race."

The original quote is from Nelson Rockefeller's public relations head, Stuart Spencer.

And all that was before the convention that selected Goldwater and continued through the election with lots of help from MSM employees.

I feel 50 years younger. Thank y'all!

The GOPe has yet to understand, the only person who can destroy Trump, is Trump. They have had their way in previous years, withholding funds when a Republican says something that causes the liberals to feign outrage, thereby ruining otherwise good candidates. Trump doesn’t need their money, and it appears a good percentage of voters are showing that they are tired of elites in the party telling us who can run. The media, and party elites are simply showing us how out of touch they really are.

Rich Lowry at the Review called the debate a "fabulously awful" night for Trump.

Rich Lowry, pfffft. National Review helped elect Obama the first time — every NR cover in the entire run-up to the election was some kind of political cartoon of Obama. Like they say, "I don't care what you say about me as long as you mention my name" — an old marketing maxim. Canceled my subscription after that. GOP isn't called "the stupid party" for nothing.

Trump is a gift. Using his own money and high-visibility brand, he is helping span the huge divide between the silly, selfish and completely out-of-touch GOP-e and their constituents, who are enraged about many issues — issues that Trump understands, speaks about in plain language, and has identified clearly to the insufferable boy's club that is the GOP-e. You'd think they'd be grateful for the free market research and try to work out a way to make use of his influence over potential voters while still showcasing their other top five — but noooooooo.

From the article: Trump's followers are a gang of pissed-off nativists who are tired of being laughed at, belittled, dismissed, and told who to vote for. So it seems incredible that the Republican establishment thinks it's going to get rid of Trump by laughing at, belittling and dismissing him, and telling his voters who they should be picking.

I've raised this point several times--Where do the Republican wizards of smart think Trump's supporters are going to go if Trump is indeed knocked off by the party establishment? They sure in Hell won't meekly line-up behind the GOPe anointed torchbearer.

We Trumpster supporters can only hope that he comes out and wipes the whole of the democrat party and the republican party wide open for all of us to see....then we’ll go from there..

There is so much rampant corruption going on inside Washington D.C. that we need to ‘trump’ it out and clean it up!!!

Conservatives are sick of the GOPe pundits, Will, Kraut, Lowery, Goldberg,Hayes, Kristol et al telling us who the proper candidates are.

Right about now I bet Erick Erickson wished he had kept his mouth shut. His Facebook page is ugly.

The article makes some astute observations about the GOP's near-total lack of strategy for dealing not only with Trump, but the voter outrage he channels. But then the author says something like this:
Assuming this doesn't all end in Trump becoming president and the world shortly thereafter ending in nuclear apocalypse...

Why, pray tell, does "B" = nuclear apolcalypse, follow directly from "A" = Trump becoming president? What do the writers for Rolling Stone think a CEO of a multi-billion dollar, multi-national business does all day long? Why do they believe that over the past 40 years of his very public career he has never encountered a difficult problem or a potential catastrophe, and solved it? How do they think he has managed to amass and manage hundreds of thousands of employees and properties and media entities that reach millions of viewers here and in Europe?

I've read here on FR and elsewhere that he merely inherited money from his father, when in fact, Donald Trump received a seed of money and training and multiplied the returns hugely, exponentially. It's astounding how little today's Americans know about creative enterprise and how it's done.

“But there are plenty of Tea Party-type voters out there who hate the Republican Party establishment almost as much as they hate the Democrats. There are also plenty of right-wing voters who think George Will and Charles Krauthammer are smug media weasels only slightly less disgusting than the Rachel Maddows and Keith Olbermanns of the world. A know-it-all is a know-it-all.”

National Review=Rolling Stone. Feck `em both. Go Trump.

That scene just made the other nine guys onstage look like what they are, stooges beholden to their party and their donors, unable to think for themselves.


Times like this we can get an objective view from the other side.

Oddly, it seems that Trump sounds more like a movement or philosophy rather than an individual. Will we one day say to someone, "Remember the Trump movement?"

"Trump is getting stronger" really means the people are voicing how they really feel and what demands they are making for change. "It" rather than "he" is what this country needs.

Well, duh. The more the GOPee elite RINO Establishment and Media try to destroy The Donald, the stronger he gets. Their efforts to clear him from the field are only pouring gasoline on the fire of Americans fed-up with the gutless, spineless, clueless, stupid, go along with the Democraps Party. Trump has given the disenfranchised a voice. The harder they try to silence and marginalize him, the stronger he grows. It IS that simple.

The Republican party and its allies at Fox, on afternoon radio and in the blogosphere have spent many years now whipping audiences into zombie-style bloodlusts. When it suited them, party insiders told voters across middle America that foreigners were trying to crawl through their windows to take their wives, and that stuffed suits in Washington and in the media were conspiring to enslave their children in Marxist bondage.

Now all of that paranoia is backing up on them. They created this monster, and it's coming for them now. Trumpenstein lives. He is loose in the town and on his way to the doctor's castle. We may not be laughing two years from now, but for the time being, man, what a show.

LOL. Taibbi is a leftist hitman supreme, but he does have a turn of phrase. His imagery throughout the piece is hilarious.
