It has become increasingly clear that the "self-funded" candidate in the Republican presidential primary, Donald J. Trump, will destroy the GOP's chances to win in November if he is not the nominee. Leftist groups are ecstatic over Trump’s "Bush lied, people died," mantra over the Iraq war. Internet trolls for Vladimir Putin are firmly behind Trump, saying he has the right recipe for accommodating Russia.

How did this happen? Conservatives who should know better went beyond praising his attacks on political correctness to welcoming him as a legitimate conservative candidate for president. Last year, Matt Schlapp, the chairman of the American Conservative Union (ACU) and co-founder of Cove Strategies, a lobbying firm, went on MSNBC and was asked by Chris Matthews if Trump is a "plausible president."

Such remarks sent the message to conservatives nationwide that Trump was one of them.
Ironically, Schlapp is the former political director for President George W. Bush, now accused by Trump of lying to get the U.S. into the Iraq War. How well does Schlapp really know Trump?
It seemed to start when the ACU declared Trump "an American patriot" and announced he was addressing the 2013 conference of the ACU-sponsored Conservative Political Action Conference. That same year, his Donald J. Trump Foundation gave $50,000 to the ACU Foundation. The Donald J.

Do you have proof you did not notice it?
The Trumpetts posts are blasting conservatives for their reliance on what they believe are arcane philosophy. DaveA37 doesn’t sound like a conservative but more like an angry person, fed up and wanting total change:
“It’s coming folks and I am talking about a REVOLUTION, full blown.”
I have sympathy for him but the Trump supporters might regret a decision to overthrow everything in anger.
Fixed it.
You just weren’t listening, musta been your Walkman.
The very name Nimrod has the word "rebel" as its root. It was his sinister misanthropic character that brought these people together on an impossible mission."
Nothing of substance yet, still waiting.

When looking up a full definition of a word, went to Mirriam-Webster and that was the “Word of the dayâ€

I understand........somewhat familiar with the story. Wasn’t that little episode, Tower of Bable, where something happened to their language.
Some spoke Yankee........some spoke Texan and the like? LOL!!!
Take care.........pilgrim

Somewhere in copy and paste I made one slight error. Will be corrected.
In looking over my post again I don’t see the error any more. Looked for a second that two links were wrong. But they aren’t.
Looked at the last link.
Would you have any idea how many are written
by “Jennifer Rubin writes the Right Turn blog for The Post, offering reported opinion from a conservative perspective.”?
A true conservative.
I stated it was every news channel on his comments on the first day of his campaign.
I think you know it also, but no biggie.
No, but asking for proof of what most all have been watching in the news from day one of the Trump campaign is just hilarious to me.
Who said ‘silence is golden’?
Don’t think I was calling you those names. I reffed to Trump as possibly being a Nimrod type.
