Excellent reality. Do not worry about losing the votes of those would not vote for your candidate.

Liberals are not going to vote for a nice guy Republican. They won’t vote for Trump.

What puts off people with no standards about Trump isn’t his rudeness, its that they embraced an anything goes culture a long time ago.

And they’re shocked there are no boundaries in our society. Cue the world’s smallest violins.

I saw that fat faces RINO,Gope,NeoCon , Jeb Bush Puppeteer , Karl Rove this morning on Fox. First let me say that the new narrative on Faux is “ Trump is playing into Hillary’s hands by making her play the victim because she is a woman “ You can’t make that up. How is she going to deal with Isis and Putin— Play the victim? But then they trot out Rove to say that Trump “missed a great opportunity to mention the Benghazi video as another video she lied about and saying that his campaign is not very good.” ( UP 39% to 11%)
Now, we have the the guy who lost $450,000,000 dollars of other people’s money, after he took his cut, guiding Romney into one of the worst campaigns in history blowing a 10 point lead by going silent to play defense against the pass and losing to the the worst President in history, telling Trump how to campaign? . What a damned joke Rove is. Go Trump!

This is such a non-issue.

Trump has solid issues, which he along is speaking about. He is for bringing back American jobs. He is for protecting our borders.

He is all for quite a lot of things which I am fully in favor of.

But he doesn’t take well to nonsense, and that is what the democrats have to offer.

The real question is, when can we hear real issues from the democrats?

Yawn National Review...

Here's some 'words' for you Jim Geraghty:

Paula Jones,

Juanita Broaddrick,

FBI credible rape change,

'Sex slave' claims Bill Clinton visited Epstein's 'orgy island ...',

young Intern used as humidor, Monica AND her mother accused of being 'mentally unbalanced'...

"Vast Right Wing Conspiracy' lie...

and the list goes on

and on

and on

and on....

There ARE words that matter... and need to be used... and thrown in the face of the press that did a cover up ....with their damn wailing about a 'war on women'... enablers...

The beltway crowd can’t begin to imagine how angry and frustrated Republican voters are. Trump is simply tapping into that frustration.

As far as you idiots in the media let him with your coverage. When you stop covering him, then he may have to spend some of his own money to campaign with. But up until now, he has used the idiots in the media too promote himself and he's soaring high.

Trump is a very media savvy guy. He has single-handedly changed the face of political campaigning in this country. And the media, liberals and establishment GOP can't seem to grasp what he's doing. Their heads are exploding and he still goes up in the polls.

Will it last? Who knows. But for now, he has the media wrapped around his little finger.

“They won’t vote for Trump”

Premature conclusion. Trump’s barely started presenting himself to voters.

If you write off all those groups, then you have to win almost all the white males. Some of them are PJ boys.

Nothing Trump says in Public is off the cuff, everything has been carefully considered. He has caught the Ruling Class with their pants down.

What we are seeing here is master negotiator at work. Trump is negotiating with the electorate for the Presidency and the Media and the Ruling Class are too dense to realize they are not at the table.

This author left out one of the most important reasons Trump is so popular. He isn’t a career politician. He isn’t an attorney. He is a plain spoken businessman, even if sometimes coarse, who is saying what much, if not most, of true American’s are thinking. It really is just that simple.

He is highly underrated in the polls methinks and now that it’s clear the dem blue collar folks, who have been misled by the dem party all these years, are embracing his message; Trump will go all the way to the WH. I just hope he takes Ted with him so he can follow Trump’s 8 years in office with 8 years of his own.

It would be a great time to be a true American I think if this happens.

More feverish exertions at NR, huffing and puffing manfully away in a vain attempt to take the measure of Trump. Meanwhile, as our Arab friends might say, “The dogs bark, the caravan moves on.”

Latest NRO attack from Geraghty. It’s not “shock.” It’s speaking truth to power, which increasingly includes the NRO.

Judging by his polling numbers, pretty far apparently.

Never underestimate shock value.
