Every time we get a call from the RNC we always go to Trump’s site and donate the amount we used to give to the GOPee! It is not much, but with the way Donald Trump husbands his resources, he may not actually have to spend much of his own money on this election!
RE: Despite his protestations to the contrary, Cruz is a Washington insider who is controlled by the corporate elites.
Which corporate elites?
RE: I will take a benevolent Trump dictator that represents American citizens over an African Marxist that hates Americans any day.
Are these the only two possible choices for us in 2016?
I keep hearing this exact same sentiment, in various quarters, from Trump supporters. I would suggest that it is this that is a "strawman." I can't speak for the author of this article, but, speaking for myself, I understand very well the "basis of Trump's appeal."
It is precisely that which I find so troubling (as, I suspect, does the author).
National Review ... bewildered, besmirched, and beclowned.
Mistaking derision for applause, they find the electorate beneath them. As Bill Buckley would have said, and did, “Cancel your own goddamned subscription.”
Blah, blah, blah, etc...
Pundits who fret about reporters probably being killed, do so because they are distracted from placing the knife in the back of the patriot they are hiding behind.
It's so much easier to launch those false witness character assassinations from safety.
If Trump tries to become what they say he will, he would never get away with it.
First of all, he is a Republican and the entire Liberal Media Complex would lambaste him for doing anything outside of the Constitution. It would be the mantra, completely ignoring what any Democrat has done to eviscerate our Constitutional Freedoms in the past.
Secondly, Trump is a White Republican Male. No explanation necessary.
Thirdly, the slavish devotion that Obama received in his quest to Fundamentally Transform the United States would be used as a weapon against ANY Republican that dared to reverse “Progress”. The Headlines would brand Trump the new Fuhrer or Mussolini every minute of every day he is in Office.
When I hear Liberals whine about Obama being criticized, I ask them if they were in a Coma from 2001 to 2009 when Bush was relentlessly attacked for anything and everything he ever did. They possess selective memory, a Liberal trait.
This is the type of disdain that makes us sure we don’t want any part of the GOPe. These people are as mentally ill as the rest of the Left.
Thank you. I'm flabbergasted by the number of "Freepers" in support of a dictatorship.
Mr. Mercer, a reclusive Long Islander who started at I.B.M. and made his fortune using computer patterns to outsmart the stock market, emerged this week as a key early bankroller of Mr. Cruz’s surprisingly fast campaign start. He is believed to be the main donor behind a network of four “super PACs†supporting Mr. Cruz that reported raising $31 million just a few weeks into his campaign.
The emergence of rich and relatively low-profile donors like Mr. Mercer could single-handedly jump-start a presidential campaign, said Trevor Potter, a campaign finance lawyer who served as a Republican member of the Federal Election Commission.
Here’s where Ted Cruz gets his campaign money
Since he began campaigning for the 2012 Senate race in Texas, Cruz raised about $18 million, not including any Mercer money. His single biggest donor has been the Club for Growth, a conservative advocacy group funded by wealthy contributors including industrialists Charles and David Koch, private-equity baron J.W. Childs and tech entrepreneur Peter Thiel. The group has given Cruz $706,000 since 2011, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Among corporate donors, the oil and gas industry has been Cruz’s biggest supporter, even though it ranks seventh in spending among all candidates. Support from energy firms is hardly surprising, given that Cruz is from Texas. Law firms came next, followed by the securities industry and real-estate concerns. Here are Cruz’s top donors since 2011:
Club for Growth and Goldman-Sachs among biggest contributors.
>>>”They’re dishonest people” He hates them...but he doesn’t want to kill them<<<
Yes, but they DO want to Kill Trump. In the last week I believe two Political Pundits stated that Trump should get a Bullet in the Head and his Supporters should be Shot.
Of course, they were just kidding. Try telling that to the SS when the same is said of Obama and his Minions.
The Democrats nor Republicans would allow Trump to dictate as they have allowed Obama to do; Trump is not black, and therefore the squeaking wheel could not cry “racism.”
Only a congress willing to do so can reign in a president.
We will have 8 years to elect REAL conservatives to congress to limit the power of the next President after Trump.
Most of us are familiar with history, so save your keyboard, professor.
I am not advocating anything
Not buying it. You posted the wikipedia exert about Cincinnatus to support the statement made by the idiot who would be in favor of a dictator.
No one is suggesting making Trump a dictator. Don't be so literal.
Have you followed the thread? From post #5: "If it takes a dictator to save this country from what Obama the dictator has done, then I'm all for it."
Try reading the thread instead of cutting and pasting from wikipedia to give 'free history lessons'.
We have both parties in Congress willing to surrender their powers under the Constitution to the Executive Branch. The Iran deal and budget bills like the recent Omnibus bill fail to invoke Congressional authority and control. The Reps joined with the Dems to make this possible. So now NR is worried that Trump will become the new dictator ala Obama.
If Trump gets into the WH, I can assure you that Congress will make it far more difficult for him to achieve his agenda than it did for Obama. You can bet that the Dems will act like a real opposition party and you can also rely on the GOPe to throw roadblocks in Trump's way.
The reality is that Trump will not have the same latitude and leeway to act unilaterally as Obama has. The NR will be part of the MSM cabal castigating Trump in the WH. No more fawning MSM, which will also act as a check on Trump or any Rep who gets to the WH.
Trump—if he wins—will be the greatest President since Reagan or an impeached fraud. He will need to be strong because the Media and Democrat/Communist Party will do all they can to do a Palin on him and make him look the fool. But, like Rupert of the Rhine in the English Civil War—a Man who was “Parade Gay” earned the respect of his macho army because he gave them victories! So too, if Trump can give America jobs, a wall, a new respect in the world, he will become beloved. Like Patton said—”America loved winners”.
We’re in this current predicament because the jellyfish GOPe, whom this idiot writer supports, refuses to follow the law and impeach and remove the dictator infesting the White House. The entire GOPe is guilty of allowing unfettered corruption to sweep the land. In fact, they are a large part of that corruption.
The writer is a clown and a moron.
