Writing in mid-June, a couple of days after Donald Trump announced his candidacy, we offered the judgment that he should not be our next president: “We're not Trump enthusiasts. We're not even Trump fellow travelers. We're closer to Trump deriders."
And so we unapologetically remain. It would be ungracious not to acknowledge Trump's remarkable standing in the polls six months later. But we see no reason to alter our conclusion that Donald Trump shouldn't be president of the United States. Indeed, Trump's behavior over this period has confirmed our judgment. If back in June we wrote that the rest of the presidential field could use "A Little Touch of Trump," it's fair to say that we've gotten more Trump than we bargained for.
Yet we continue to trust Republican primary voters will not select Donald Trump as the GOP nominee for president. And we continue to believe, as we said at the outset, that more conventional politicians could learn something from Trump. We suggested then that "politics is about dreams as much as it is about deliverables, about pride as much as it's about pocketbooks. Trump understands that. It's not clear most of the rest of the field does." We pointed out then that "Trump understands that many Americans believe winning isn't everything, but it's a good thing. A very good thing. It's not clear most of the rest of the field does." We observed then that "Trump understands that Americans have deep doubts about the competence and probity of our political class. It's not clear most of the rest of the field does." And we wrote then that "Trump understands that it's okay to say something the media elite will shake their collective head at. It's not clear most of the rest of the field does."
Will the GOP establishment support a Trump/Cruz ticket?
Sorry BIll. I think it will be Trump
“Trump’s winning”
“We know why he’s winning”
“We still hate him”
-GOPe
They will not It will be like when Reagan ran. He cannot win until he does
Kristol is worthless.
Bill Kristol=Worthless Pr-ck
Lou Dobbs had his cohort Fred Barnes on last night, and it appeared that Freddie was at the point of eating some well-deserved crow at Lou’s insistance. The Weekly Standard is a useless GOPe propaganda rag!
Trump is the ONLY one anyone I talk to plans to vote for. And, I talk politics all the time everywhere I go. The GOPee can buy cases of Imodium.
Unpleasant rhetoric?Trump?
Kristin may never ever figure this out. But people really should get a clue. We find jebs ‘let’s flood this country with foreigners who will never care about us, our borders language nor culture’ talk most unpleasant of all. Ditto Rubio
TYDT!!! Cruz VP 2016!
I hope you didn’t use the word Reagan in conjunction with Trump.
We have a Reagan running who is better than Reagan was.
Reagan never trashed a soul. Reagan was a studied principled man. Reagan never belittled those he disagreed with.
Trump equals Bambi.
Cruz equals Reagan.
Just cause Trump built on his father’s fortunate through intimidation and screwing people does not make him a person of knowledge. He is like the drunk in the bar people cheer.
Kristol is a has-been hack who now resides on the ash bin of history.
Kristol is just another Beltway snob who cares more about his social standing than anything else.
Unpleasant times
Deserves Unpleasant rhetoric.
Go Trump
Yes he is and if his mother and father hadn’t been born before him/been who they were, he’d be flipping burgers.
Reagan and Trump use/d simple straight forward English and a few items they said that they woiuld get done. Reagan did and Trump will.
Go haunt a Cruz thread.
