"Buchanan became politically radioactive in some circles in the 1990s, largely because of the perceived anti-Semitism of his occasional qualified praise for Hitler, his flirtations with Holocaust denial, and his ceaseless criticism of Israel and its supporters."

More bs from beltway pundits. NR will depend on liberals to stay viable after 2015.

Now for more real news why Trump is kicking asses across America and in the Beltway.

Why Donald Trump Dominates GOP Race: He Has A Bold Agenda And His Opponents Don’t (Steve Forbes)
Forbes ^ | Steve Forbes
Posted on 8/31/2015, 6:32:31 AM by RoosterRedux

DONALD TRUMP’S CONTINUING surge in the polls has left his GOP opponents flummoxed and floundering. Some are trying to sound like mini-Donalds. Jeb Bush garnered eye-rolling publicity by referring to “anchor babies” from Asia, as well as Latin America, and muttering about the need for a crackdown. (How? By requiring a pregnancy test for every woman who visits the country and a forced trip to Planned Parenthood if she tests positive?) Scott Walker says we should cancel China’s strongman Xi’s upcoming trip to the U.S. to show our displeasure with Chinese foreign and economic policies. That’ll show ‘em!

And on it drearily goes. One would never know that Trump’s rivals have substantive records in politics, business and/or medicine. Instead they come across as high-pitched miniature dogs, pathetically yapping at an unassailable alpha dog.

They have only themselves to blame for Trump’s steadily increasing lead. Why? Because these veterans of the public square violated the first law of politics: They let Trump set the agenda. There was a vacuum in both policy and, astonishingly, searing criticism of Barak Obama (in the recent debate there were a few passing whacks at Hillary Clinton but hardly a mention of Obama). If you’d asked anyone before Trump’s roaring entrance what the other 16 GOP presidential aspirants stood for, at best you might have elicited a few mutters but no real enthusiasm. Everyone was just waiting for things to unfold. None of the 16 had firmly identified themselves.

Then, like a thunderstorm on steroids, came The Donald, and ever since the 16 have complained that they can’t be heard.

I voted for Pat Buchanan for President. I’m enjoying Trump’s run, but I hope that he isn’t the nominee. I’m still looking for Cruz, Jindal, or Santorum. I want a solid social conservative. Still enjoying the GOP-e getting it in the eye, though.

Lost in all these assessments from establishment figures is any kind of soul searching as to what might be the cause of the evident dissatisfaction - is the GOP well serving its rank and file and the country? Is everything trending in the right direction, generally?

Hell no they're not and its not. We're speeding towards disaster.

I also see similarities to Jesse Ventura, Ross Perot, and Arnold S.

Trump is not a culture warrior or an anti-Semite and he’s far, far more successful at this point in his run than Buchanan ever was.

Another failed attempt by the NR weenies to smear Trump.

Buchanan, in his wildest dreams, was never as popular as Trump.

anti-trade

I don't think he is anti-trade, but he, as I see it, is for fair-trade. Too many, if not all, of our trade agreements make the U.S. the patsy.

I really should not browse FR this early in the morning. I swear I thought the title read “Pat Buchanan’s Hair”

“Pat was too tied up in cultural issues, which limited his appeal, whereas Trump is making a broader-based economic case, which broadens his appeal,” says Craig Shirley, "

The only time the media loved Buchanan was when he was hammering Jorge Sr. which softened him up for Clinton.

The media is having a hard time polarizing Trump which is why they want to morph him into Pat Buchanan. The key difference with Trump is that he doesn’t need anyone’s money so he’s not beholden to lobbyists.

That was also true of Romney but Romney wasn’t as blunt about it and kept using contributor money instead of his own. Trump might be playing us but he may also be serious about spending his own money to run for the job so he won’t need bend over when special interests come to call.
