Donald Trump was so awful, so horrible, so disgusting in the latest Republican debate — his lies, his distortions, his deceits, and his libels thicker and fouler than they’ve yet been—that he’s done us all a favor. If he wins easily in South Carolina after his monstrous turn, he’ll be going straight to the Republican nomination.
Such a victory in a classically conservative state like South Carolina after his romp in idiosyncratic New Hampshire will prove Trump’s repellent personality is the real key to his success. You want me to delineate his dishonesties? That would be like asking me to count how many breaths he took.
We will not be able to labor under any delusions after a win comparable to his triumph in New Hampshire. We will know for a certainty that the man Republicans want for their tribune in 2016 is a disgusting jerk they somehow believe will have their backs when the only back he’s ever had is his own

Yes, the buck does stop at his desk so in that sense he is responsible.
But don't forget, he didn't get his "team" set up until 6 months into his term, thanks to Al Gore and his endless attempt to steal the election. The intelligence they had at the time was a general threat, not specific.
It's easy in 20/20 to look back and say he should have known, but I wouldn't personally fault him for it.

Agreed! Trump will go to DC and not be impressed or cowed by the DC establishment. Almost all who go to DC are wowed by the lobbyists, pundits, and political class that call it their world. Trump won’t buy into that BS - he already has played on a bigger stage with his own money. And that is why all the establishment hates him. Go Trump!
Reminds me of a stellar version of Scarlet Begonias/Fire on the Mountain, which was the only occasion of which I'm aware that phrase was used
Mobile-friendly - Apr 24, 1978 - Band/Artist Grateful Dead ... Before the final ascent in Fire, Jerry sings "Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn" ...
Or else we get another Obama.
“The consensus opinion is that Trump is the deranged one. “
Only in your imagination.
Take a look at the post-debate polls.
If you’re too lazy, look no further than the daily poll here on Free Republic, which has had Trump ahead (usually 2 to 1) every day that it’s been held.
Poor obese John Podhoretz. His jumbo size panties are in a twist.
I doubt he won any new voters and likely shed some.
You too!
Your analogy was spot on!
#96, The Mouth of Manhattan went full Code Pink/OWS last night.
How will you square that poll with the facts when Trump loses SC?
G.W. Bush has a 80% approval rating in SC.
Winning with 34-35% in the polls should be a clue that the other 65% can’t stand the guy. He is at his ceiling.
“Winning with 34-35% in the polls should be a clue that the other 65% can’t stand the guy. He is at his ceiling.”
More nonsense. I’m done talking to you.
Thank you. Great link. I personally have to agree what he said. Although I had supported GW back in the days as our president.
The complete story of what is going on now is happening. Trump back then was saying what has now come to be, unfortunately.
There are so many conservative pundits who outed themselves as GOPe, it would be easier to just remember the ones you still like than the hordes who betray the movement.
GWBush also said numerous times that the Iraqis would pay for the war with their oil.
Has that check cleared? Have we even got that check?
Who has access to the oil now?
Hmmm, how would that apply to everyone else in the race?
The level headedness of that interview shows plainly that the bombast we see is calculated. Trump is not unhinged. He’s on a mission.
