‘Teflon Don’ morphs into a real candidate
The Washington Times ^ | September 29,20155 | Charles Hurt

First they ignored him. Then they mocked him. Then they tried tearing him down.

The most alarming thing about Donald Trump for these people is that they have, literally, thrown everything they can at the man. And, yet, he is still standing, completely unbowed. In the 3½ months since he launched his campaign, his popularity has only grown with every sling and arrow.

They have accused him of rape and tarred him as a racist. They smeared him as a traitor. And, yet, Teflon Don remains undented, the toupee-less man unruffled.

In the process, Mr. Trump has accomplished something no one thought possible. Meticulously, methodically, patiently, Mr. Trump has morphed into a legitimate candidate.

He just released the latest of three very serious policy position papers, this one on taxes. The first two were on illegal immigration and guns — filling out a veritable triumvirate of most important issues for all conservatives and many independents.

Each paper is deeply sophisticated and principled. And when was the last time a candidate for president got wall-to-wall coverage for releasing a policy paper?

Certainly not when Jeb Bush released his policy position this week on, and I am not making this up, “energy.”

“Unleash the energy revolution!” announced his campaign. Not to be confused with the “low energy” Mr. Trump is constantly accusing Mr. Bush of having.

I would love to witness a perfect polling to see how much higher, I believe, Trump really is in all polls.

The more they try to hit him, the more they get bloodied themselves.

Amen!
I pray for his safety and the safety of his family...
I pray for Melania that she will stay strong..
I pray he won’t get discouraged

But ultimately, it’s in God’s will.

Trump has a sense of purpose...and that can only come from God...or Satan.

I think Trump is a good man...and I believe God is using him...and I think Trump knows this.

A calling is not a business thing...or even a political thing.

It is God who calls us. And Trump has heeded this call.

All the more reason we need to pray. When God is at work evil doubles down.
May the armor of God surround and protect he and his That they stand protected and calm in the center of the storm.

That Trump can discern His calling and will

Then, when all this didn't work, they labeled him the Kardashian candidate. This because if all this failed to bring him down, it had to mean that folks just weren't paying attention and only liked Trump for the "reality television" factor.

Couple this with continual reports he was slipping in the polls, or he had topped out in the polls and couldn't go any higher. That was a neat trick.

Never mind that those with 1/3rd to 1/10th his polling were also topped out. But just remember, their negatives were much lower than Trump's. Cough cough..., LMAO

Total disinformation!

This was after all the only move left if you were still in denial that Trump was providing the leadership, attributes, and platform that most folks wanted.

Anti establishment, FReeper-like platform, massive underdog with most of the known MSM, GOPe, Democrat, Pundit, and blogger's world against him, and yet still drawing tens of thousands to hear "our message" in public...

Has anyone thought of making him an honorary FReeper? What the heck, why not Cruz too? Why not single them both out for special treatment that might move Trump see him as a great natural V.P.?

You are so on spot with this...

Did you see the post about him and the Religious Leaders yesterday...they were all praying over him...

This man is good, kind, very sensitive, generous, family man, father...you can't ask for more than this...

You can tell by the way he has lived his life and how he was brought up that he has values that only a couple of the other candidates have...

We are very glad to have him and to be behind him and to see him in the White House in 2016!!!

(or sooner if today is any gage)....

He never listens to them. He knows that they're the fools.

We need to follow Trump and your advice and never listen to the Deranged Trump haters on Free Republic.

Treat them like we do the homeless deranged/alcoholic drug addicts idiots on any street, who verbally accost everyone!

Just ignore the deranged fools!

Very nice. I like what you’ve done there.

I’m a graphic hound. Love the message a graphic can convey.

Editorial cartoons are amazing to me.

Thank you.
