Bozell: Trump Is a 'Shameless Self-Promoter' and 'Huckster'

"We have to come to our senses collectively," Bozell, president of the Media Research Center, told Fox News' Martha MacCallum on the "America's Newsroom" program. "There is fury, absolute fury against Washington for years of betrayal, especially from the Republican establishment. I share in that. I don't think there is anybody that has been more furious than I have been, but you just can't tap into that and into that vein and pretend that you are going to do something about it when in fact you have a record, a real record of being the opposite on everything."

I'm with Bozell.

Tired of all the abandoning here on FR of fundamental conservative principles and pandering to the showman and "former" liberal Trump. Never mind that most recently he has been trumpeting how he would "work with everyone" and "make deals." Presumably a Trump administration would hold the House and Senate: if so, why would he need to compromise and "make deals with" the Democrats who never compromised when they were in the majority.

[gibsosa]

agreed.

You can stand with Bozell or whoever you want.

You speak of thise fundamental principles? Business as usual? For decades those in D.C. have done nothing but harm to America. The economy, borders, destabilized the Mideast, epic debt, chain immigration and on and on. These are country killing policies and issues.

America needs to run from your BS political principles.

[zzwhale]

and
THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE USA USA USA

Wow! What a rebuttal!

(SIGH!)

[Tucker39]

I used to like Bosell. Back in the day, the libs showed their disdain by calling him Brent Bozo.

Lately I’ve been having second thoughts.

[P-Marlowe]

Thank you for your opinion.

Have a nice day.

Trump cares for this country about as much as Obama does. And we all know how much Obama loves America.

Two narcissists. People who love themselves have little, if any, love for others.

[chris37]

I don’t believe you, sorry.

[TexasFreeper2009]

I dont deny that Trump loves Trump.

I love myself too!

But.

it’s hard to love yourself when your unemployed
It’s hard to love myself when you feel like a stranger in your own country.
ect.

In other words Trump will do what’s best for America, exactly because he loves himself.

It’s in HIS best interest to do what’s best for America.

No I merely mentioned that history repeats itself.

You sure did, basically agreeing with #16, suggesting Trump is the new "Hitler", followed by your innocent, "I merely mentioned history repeats itself."

Get real. Btw, the corrupt leftist running the MSM made all these implications about Trump long ago. You and a few others have just fell in line behind them.

[CodeToad]

Trump hasn't been part of the eGOP "scene" in DC and those that have spent their entire lives climbing the social ladder in the eGOP are scared they won't retain their positions if Trump wins. Period. THAT is why they oppose Trump.

"Don't look now, but while our best conservative is running a political campaign, Trump is leading a rebellion. Not as a liberal or a conservative politician, but as a successful red-blooded, can-do American capitalist.", Jim Robinson

[pangaea6]

I have yet to hear anyone in the establishment stand up with Trump and say Build the Wall or ban Muslims. Trumps winning bc he let’s it fly! Someone should ask them do they dare repeat what Trump says

[Mrs. Don-o]

"Faggy"? Really? You ran out of reasoned, evidence-based argument so quickly that you had to resort to "faggy"?

I imagine his wife and five children might take offense.

The Trump phenomenon is not new. The movement is nothing more than a different version (American) of what happened in Germany in the 1930s. In the American version, the cause is just, the problems real, but the chosen solution, a delusion, and the “hero”, a fanciful graven image hewn out in the imagination of “The True Believers”.

What we are seeing with Trump is a nationalistic populist movement sucking in a lot of good patriotic people. People better figure Trump out pretty quick or we will be in more trouble than we are already in. Trump is no true conservative, but for a few slip-ups that betray him, he could get an Oscar for his performance. This is no more than 1930s and 2008 populism déjà vu in a completely different cloak. Trump is using the modus operandi described in Eric Hoffer’s 1951 book, “The True Believer” - Thoughts On The Nature Of Mass Movements. Trump has found a void and has created a cult following. He is taking legitimate issues and concerns and using them to generate a fanatical mass movement of “True Believers” — intoxicated Trumpaholics, and Tump is their cult leader. There is no way to talk to many of them; their minds have been snatched. Many will not realize the fantasy until it all falls down. History repeats. It is déjà vu all over again.

Spot on. Disappointing to see so many here so eager to jettison conservative principles to prostrate themselves before their new savior.

Brent Bozell is not a Republican. He is a conservative. Thus he lacks both attributes -— GOP and e -— needed to be classified a GOPe.

[VideoDoctor]

Why is it you won't post any pro-Cruz stories?

Your desperation is crystal clear.

THANKS for shining the light on the cockroaches.

[Seruzawa]

Looks like Brent is worried about his rice bowl. He should be. Establishmentarian betrayer like all the GOPe.

[P-Marlowe]

Thank you for your opinion.

Have a nice day.
