I said I imagined that was for the voters to decide. And they are deciding. That is ultimately the very image of populism. And for now, that populism is here to stay.


That is what they see. They compare him to Hitler

What we see is a man fighting for what we believe it.

one line “false idols”....

So where are the other religious people like me who denounce the Dems for turning “every knee shall bend” into the Pelosi, Schiff and Nadler kneeling to honor a multiple felon who died struggling with police, by his own medical problems and illegal narcotics use—not police brutality-—as if he were an idol?

BLM supporters and CHOP types make up piles of flowers and teddy bears and a picture of their dead BLM “heroes” which is also idolatry.

IDOLATRY.

Religious people apparently have gone into laryngitis mode.

It’s more about Americanism than about Trump.

"Not long after I got to CPAC this year, I tweeted that GOP voters will no longer accept candidates who do not support their interests. A good friend who hews closer to the old establishment than I do responded, asking what if the voters don't know what is in their own interests."

That viewpoint sounds like the Democrats, sounds like the Uniparty. WE will decide what is good for you. They all need to go somewhere very hot and lit with eternal fires.

Nationalism. And not in a bad way.

It’s okay that Trump was not the only “star player”. The GOP is bigger than one individual. There should be numerous members able to give a rousing speech. It’s a natural progression of events.

That's indicative of a condescending elitist attitude. Anytime anyone tells you it's in your best interest, for your own good, for your safety or security, watch out because they're probably acting in their own interests.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We’ll see.

They just re-elected the King of Amnesty, Flimsey Grahamnesty plus McConnell, Sasse, Cassidy, Cornyn, Tillis.

If they re-elect the Prince of Amnesty, Micro Rubio, we have no chance of making America great again by re-electing Assistant Democrats.

Another GOP Stooge trying to convince us “Rubes” to walk away from our “rabid” support of President Trump.

Trying to be sophisticated in his approach like we can’t see right through him.

Exactly. This was a stupid and pointless article that made no sense.

Sounds like the old establishment is going to continue working on 'fortifying' elections so they get the results they want.

They're going to get push-back this time; they outed themselves.

It sees its future in smaller and more diverse communities. The increase of diversity has been remarkable at CPAC these four years. Anyone who thinks this is a blip and not a trend really isn’t paying attention.

The majority of African-Americans and Latinos will remain Democrat, just like the majority of Irish, Italians, and Poles descended from their ancestor immigrants 100 years ago. But enough will move into the conservative camp to wreak havoc on the "diversity" schtick that the Left thinks it has to itself, and the "white supremacist" schtick that the Left thinks it can splatter on us.

I wonder who Trump will choose as his VP this next time around? What he needs is another GOP populist rather than a GOPee squish. I would suggest there is only really one other GOP populist in the mix: Sarah Palin.

Trump took the Office of the President with him.

He looks confident and robust — like a winner for sure. Have you seen the other guy lately? He doesn’t know where he is or who he is.

Reminds of the Twilight Zone reruns of the man who was willing to give anything to have his lifelong dream fulfilled, and some stranger emerges out of the dark shadows and asks, “Anything?” Just sign here — and now he keeps signing and signing and signing...as the only thing he knows how to do.

That doesn’t look like a winner to me. “Everybody knows I can’t give a good speech to save my soul.”
