“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!

Matthew 15:14
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

The Punditocracy has lost their collectivist marbles over Trump. They continually try to scare the commoners that he has no chance due to his lack of sophistication and nuanced phraseology. What Moscow on the Potomac does not understand is people are tired of their lectures and disdain. Americans are hard working intelligent people and the elite’s continual put down has worn threadbare.
Trump is able to articulate American pride and disgust as better than any person in the last forty years.

As about the only pundit who stated at the start, the election would come down to Trump and Cruz while all the million dollar minds were calling him a rodeo cowboy it is time to say why. The question is how can the Establishmedia be so wrong when their entire lives are built around understanding politics? There are two primary reasons and they are their agenda and self preservation.

It is easy to understand the extreme Marxists would be against him since they are only interested in promoting their utopian mirage, but what about Fox and the Conservative analysts? They have the same problems Repubs have in the beltway, in that they want to be invited to all brie and Chablis parties. Even though their job is to argue against liberalism it is human nature to be liked and respected which means you have to go along with the echo chamber.

Groupthink is seductive and pays very well. Political analysis is a very subjective science and any argument is a good argument if you can back it up with a semi-valid argument. Common knowledge says you cannot win the election if you do not have the Hispanic vote as well as blacks. Whether or not it is true is irrelevant, it is settled science. The same common knowledge says you can only get their vote by pandering and giving gummit freebies. Trump is breaking both of those rules so the experts are declaring him toast even though he is doing better with those two groups than any Repub has ever done.

The other common knowledge is you tell one group one thing that they want to hear and when you talk to a different audience you tell them just the opposite. The goal of any trained politician is to not say anything about anything and speak in platitudes and be all things to all people. The old school politician wants to be sure nobody can pin them down on any issue with the exception of some minor issues which have no bearing on the election.

What people like about Trump is he does not play those games and understands people are not afraid to tackle big problems. He has managed to discuss a couple of the largest issues in America with immigration and Islamic terror. He has a lifetime of understanding and is a genius marketer and self promoter which is actually what elections are. He is brilliant enough to realize that people respect his plain speech and their willingness to tackle large problems. Americans are not afraid to roll up their sleeves and whether or not they agree with him they respect his taking a stand on these controversies.

He understands talking about an issue is the first step towards solving it. The Marxists wants a world of safe rooms where no issue is discussed except by those who agree with them. How can you find a solution if you only talk about half of the issue? How can you solve any problem if you eliminate common sense? It is where we are today and he has the nerve and the articulation to go against Political Correctness exposing it for the fraud it is. When you peel away all the fake outrage and name calling PC is nothing more than censorship by a virtual lynch mob.

The lynch mob has met its match and now is running out of racist, sexist, homophobe cards and Trump is running right through their defenses, but enough about Fox Snooze. The latest Mooselimb moratorium is the perfect example. While the entire Establishmedia were screaming racist at the tops of their lungs Americans were saying about time. It was not just the Conservatives but many blue collar Dems were agreeing. Why does America owe everyone in America citizenship and especially if they want to kill us? Let Hillary run on that platform.

Do conservatives agree with Trump on everything? Of course not and it is likely he will infuriate them when he is in office, but what Repub hasn’t? GW ran as a Conservative in the Reagan mold and immediately let Kennedy write Common Core and the expansion of Medicare. Conservatives are being pragmatic and realizing they have someone who is right on two or three of the biggest issues this country is facing. He has turned the discussion to conservative issues and has brought an excitement which is bringing votes from groups Dems have won with.

His main question now is can he and is he building a network to bring out the vote. Are his people talking to their neighbors and making sure his people actually show up on primary day. By all appearances his voters are very committed to him and motivated which usually turns into wins. He needs to get his 35% out and ignore the rest and he will be the nominee.

Some of us never thought we would see a primary like this. Many say it reminds them of Reagan although it seems more like Truman with his swearing with a sense of humor and regular guy common sense. On the other hand he may be unlike any candidate we have ever seen who is a pure capitalist who made his billions the old fashioned way, he earned them. Most Americans like the fact he cannot be bought and is funding his own campaign which terrifies the District of Corruption.

We have never seen anything like it as we are used to honest politicians who once they are bought stay bought while dishonest ones go to the highest bidder. These are dangerous times and it may be we need a cross between Truman and Patton to win this war against Fundamental Islamic terror. Love him or hate him he has pulled back the curtain on The Religion of Peace.

Merry Christmas
