Cruz or Rubio or Kasich?
Another “expert” in grave fear of being no longer in a position where his opinion makes any difference.
The hatred from the MSM towards Trump has been astonishing.
When I find myself disagreeing with Thomas Sowell, it makes me want to be vary cautious.
Oh yes the daily pearl cluchers posting. How about the people who write this stuff start looking at the turn out numbers.
THEY may find Trump offensive to their PC sensibilities, the voters certainly do not.
Stopping Trump is obviously a high priority for Republicans who honor the Constitution.
It’s desperation time for the people who run the Republican establishment, The Cheap Labor Express.
Their people pipeline is endangered.
The most imortant thing to the RNC/GOP is blocking us from electing a President who would enforce the laws and secure the borders.
They do not intend to allow the citizens to keep the rule of law or our country.
NRO didn’t have a free page available?
Sowell is mired down in his distaste for Trump to the point he can’t see clearly.
Running against 16 other candidates, and being exposed to the most anti-candidate rhetoric I’ve seen in 45 years, Trump has held up well.
Nobody can tell me Trump’s negatives are higher than the first lady of anti-rape victim ideology and the “what does it matter now” defense.
Trump will have Clinton whimpering in a corner by the time he is done with her.
Oh, bull. They've done that all by themselves.
Mr. Sowell, How are your predictions on Trump doing so far?
One has to wonder that, given how much money they threw at Jeb before this election even started, the GOPe didn’t know that there was a revolt coming.
The Republicans have not earned the White House.
It’s not ‘their turn’.
The had eight years to come up with a plan and a suitable candidate that would be welcome to the voters.
They chose to play games with delegates and flood the field to keep people from getting to the nomination so that they could select their own candidate.
They can go back and learn their lessons, start another party, and retire and let the new generation take hold of the party.
I’m sure the neo-con-artists and their open borders toadies will pat him on his head.
Not sure that Sowell is correct in his analysis of Trump. He is pulling in Democrats - Reagan Democrats and the numbers of Republicans voting in ALL primaries has gone up while the number of Democrats registering has gone down.
The only candidate other than Trump who is anti-Establishment - and we NEED an anti-establishment candidate or we WILL loose - is Ted Cruse. If little Marco had stopped playing footsies with the Establishment, he COULD have been a third. But when a candidate in a presidential primary can’t even pull in his own state, that says a lot about him.
The “Trump can’t beat Hillary” meme is silly. The polls are mixed and close, with the average showing Hillary up by 3.4 percent, hardly an insurmountable lead in 9 months. And Romney didn’t start winning majorities until everyone else dropped out.
“... the Republican establishment, as shown by their biggest gun, Mitt Romney...”
ROFLMAO...Their “biggest gun”?????????
Biggest wimp, maybe....
When this comes down to Cruz and Trump, I suspect both will win different states with close to or more than 50%. Moreover, it is NO indication of what will happen in the general election.
What Sowell also misses is the massive increase in GOP voter turnout in ALL states over 2012. Sowell wants to take the establishment to task but struggles because he too, is part of the same machine.
Take away the Trump-bashing and it’s a fine article.
Except:
“Most of Trump’s primary victories were with less than 50 percent..”
Just like every other presidential primary!
At this point in the process in 2008 hardly any candidates had wins by 50+%!
