Obama now rules by fear and intimidation. That is why the GOP keeps betraying conservatives.
It isn't just a change in law. The atmosphere of persecution and intimidation has entered our souls. You and I have internalized it. This is why we desperately need a truth-teller, to show how flimsy the left's power really is.
Every other GOP candidate has had to kowtow to Obama's Marxist-Leninist style of governance. The nuclear surrender to Iran is just another betrayal by the most radical and destructive president in history. Our weak response to ISIS is another one. Even the Russians are shocked by Obamanism, and by its European cousin, Merkelism, which is leading Europe to voluntary suicide.
The West is in unprecedented trouble, and the Republican Party is too scared to even look over the parapet. Even the speaker of the House has grown a jihad-chic beard.
Well, Trump isn't scared. Whatever else he may be, he is not easily intimidated.
I just bumped into a long Trump commercial on YouTube, parading as a promo for his big Boeing 757. It's worth watching, if only because it is uncensored by anybody but Trump. Even in the GOP debates, we get only sound bites. This curious little promo is a glimpse into his business life, and it's interesting in that way. It's Trump filtered only by Trump, which is very different from Trump filtered by Media Cartel. If Trump is elected, this may be how he will try to govern.
Trump's Boeing is run along military lines, by people who could be working in the military. They are incredibly picky and time-sensitive. They are not exactly cowed by Trump, but they are constantly on the hop, and Trump keeps them that way. They could be on a military staff.

Which is only governing in the loosest of senses, because it really is LEADERSHIP.
Just ask anyone here who has been in the military.
“Implying that his governing style will be like a officer in the military or like any old tyrant. Which is only governing in the loosest of senses.”
No. Because he does this *without* being in the military. His employees can quit any time they want. He cannot shoot them or throw them in jail.
They are there because it serves them to be there.
It is a significant difference.
“After eight years of Obama, we need a period of healing.”
Healing in this context is agreeing to what the dems as a group and Obama as a specific instance want. Frankly we have had far too much of that go along to get along stuff. Want an example of what happens when the dems are in charge? Here are two: how many GOPs had any input into the Obamacare bill? Zero. How much input has the GOP had into: I have a phone and I have a pen. Oh, one more: “I Won.”
Even?
This author is surprised?
Splitting hairs in desperation is not a convincing argument.
Should he become POTUS he can “shoot them or throw them in jail.” Which seems to be a point you missed.
Really? I did my time and you?
And if that’s your definition of leadership, G-d help us.
Yes, he sounds like a guy on the street in New York or Jersey, but our freedom of speech is worth it.
The cost of freedom of speech is that we have to put up with New Yorkers? Is that what he is saying? I find the shtick of the average New Yorker quite entertaining. So do most people, which is why they put it on television.
So Trump is a New Yorker and is going to be in your face about saying what the thinks. So what?
What I also found interesting was how much of his staff has been with him for so long. That shows an admirably two-way loyalty IMO that says a lot.
I’m a Celtics fan and just saw a clip of their coach Brad Stevens describing the two characteristics you need for leading people—to be warm and to be demanding.
I took from that documentary that Trump must be both.
Don’t confuse leadership with oppression.
What drivel! I can't believe you wasted the time to post it!
What drivel! I can't believe you wasted the time to post it!
And I cannot believe you wasted time posting your response twice.
As usual with Trumpeters, anything which voices any opinion contrary to their cherished hero worship must be shouted down amid insults and innuendo. Obviously, free speech is not a quality or right Trumpeters believe in, or perhaps just for themselves so they can point to their silly press clippings saved for posterity or the children - whichever comes first ...
With that said, one has to wonder since free speech is not welcomed by Trumpeters, is that a reflection of their hero - a side we have not seen yet, but they are instinctively drawn towards?
Obama now rules by fear and intimidation. That is why the GOP keeps betraying conservatives.
So, Trump and his voters won and broke the rules of the conservative plantation masters by voting for Trump in NH.
It is wonderful to see the long standing corrupt political system disintegrating right before our eyes. A system that hates working Americans, rewards illegals and those who bring them into America to freeload off the American workers.
We are seeing a paradigm shift with us selecting our Presidential Candidate instead of the GOPe and DEMe elites, who hate us, selecting our candidates.
There is a Black Swan event occurring with the daily suicidal self wrought destruction of the GOPe, Open Border Thugs, DC faux pundits, Faux News, ABCNNBCBS and the left wing fish wraps. Something similar may be happening with the DEMes.
Many of us are looking forward to seeing the broken bones, drying blood and entrails of the Lying GOP Open Borders Elite, their DC faux conservative pundits, their mediots, their phoney pollers and focus groups, Faux, ABCNNBCBS, their hired tv and radio hacks strewn across the primary states as much as our victories in those states.
We have escaped from their faux conservative plantations, and we are not going back for more lies, abuse and mistreatment from our former GOPe masters.
Sorry your military service was so unpleasant. Most of us who served viewed it as a very positive experience that we would not undo.
All the other candidates, with the exception of Dr. Carson and Carly Fiorina, have been mostly immersed in bureaucracy.
This should provide some perspective.
Good for you - you probably were not drafted, nor had to face 4 Russian armies, nor listen to people dying as part of your MOS. And sure as hell you were not a 012.
You actually imagine that business world experience filled with multiple bankruptcies is somehow going to translate into good governance and not tyranny?
I saw all I needed when DJT was on the boob tube. There are no good candidates in my opinion.
Your breathless hyperbole aside, if nobody appeals to you why are you even here?
Because this is supposed to be a place of free speech - something alien to you nasty Trumpeters.
