There is much more than a reasonable basis for believing that a President Trump would offer substantial relief from the Obama nightmare on issues of intense concern to conservatives, Republicans and members of the American middle and working classes.
It’s very probable that President Trump would…
Let us hope that actual decapitations will eventuate.
I agree with Jared’s article generally. I disagree with him only on his suggestion of other motives on the part of Kristol and Romney. No other motives are necessary. The Republican Old Guard (ROG) has had a revolt by the grassroots against it. Despite their best efforts, and contrary to all the maunderings of the MSM, Trump is the uncontested candidate before the convention and Clinton is not.
Leaders never take it well when their followers reject them. Particularly they never take it well when the hoi-polloi decides that the intellectual pinheads who have led them to decades of frustration must go NOW. So, Kristol, Romney et.al. are simply trying their worst to retain control of a party which has deserted them. They particularly dislike it when the candidate has a stronger hold over the party than the ROC. Hence the anguish.
It won’t work, which is why so much of the ROG has deserted the cause and joined Trump, recognizing that any Republican with a solid hold on the party rank and file is infinitely better than the Hildebeest. K and R are simply some of the last holdouts in the Fuhrerbunker.
It doesn’t matter what Trump’s negatives are. They’re still less than Killary, the rape enabler.
Trump/Mattis 2016
We need a Semaine Sanglante.
I am not convinced that a third party run would take votes away from Trump — but might take a few from Hillary. Trump haters (even Republicans) are either staying home or voting for Hillary. Giving them an option does not accomplish much. I do not think there are many luke-warm voters for Trump.

Trump has never mentioned the preservation of the constitution. He has never mentioned that the supreme court requires justices that will uphold the constitution. He has never mentioned that the people’s liberty is paramount to his presidency.
He has said he will bring in a single payer health care system like Canada. Whatever.
He has said he will go after his opponents hard. I suppose that may mean following his predecessor’s unconstitutional use of the IRS to bring them down.
Ya, he’s pretty much what all freedom lovers desire in a president.
Trump is, if nothing else, a master negotiator. And my sense is that what he offers up as his platform is his starting negotiating position. He may be elected president, certainly preferable to Hillary, but he will not be elected king or dictator in perpetuity and will very soon have to recognize, if he doesn’t already, that politics is the art of the possible and the art of the compromise. As he would certainly be pushing America in a direction far preferable to the course it has charted these past seven years the end result can only be for the better.
You are reading too much into silence.
We can not really know what Trump will do. We can only guess. We know what hitlery will do. This is one of those time when the devil I don’t know is a whole lot more appealing than the devil I know.
smithy, politicians make lots of promises while on the campaign trail, and then break them once elected, are you trying to tell us that Trump will not be doing this??? Or are you to dumb to understand what you actually articulated?
Exactly! A pox on the establishment that has accomplished not much more than the facilitation of a continual slide to the radical left. The same holds true for Canada.
How fascinating. I count this as the seventh different person I’ve seen articulate the same point in the last week or so.
“Trump is going to do all these AMAAA-AZING conservative things, and the liberal things he says are just him lying to get elected, because that’s what politicians do.”
So – Occam’s Razor here – do you think it’s more likely that he was struck by lightning and suddenly became conservative in 2015 after a lifetime of being a liberal Democrat, and that he’s lying about the liberal things he says on the campaign trail? Or does it maybe – JUST MAYBE – seem more likely that he’s lying about the conservative things, and the pro-amnesty, pro-single payer, pro-abortion, pro-high tax stances that he mentions in unguarded moments are the truth?
If you’re acknowledging that he’s lying to get elected, it works both ways. You’ve acknowledged that his word means nothing and, therefore, nothing he says to appease conservatives can be trusted. Because, you know… lying. Gotta pass it to find out what’s in it, right?
NME666 said: “Or are you to dumb to understand what you actually articulated?”
Pot and kettle, my friend. Pot and kettle.
” He has never mentioned that the supreme court requires justices that will uphold the constitution”
Really? So the eleven potential justices he put forth last week are—what- chopped liver.
There appears to be nothing more that Donald Trump likes better that taking on a broken down project and turning it into something that is both worthwhile and of value.
Being of the same mindset as him (though at a much lower level,)I can fully relate.
However I am now in my later years and a couple of years younger than the Donald and have lost the enthusiasm for doing building projects at the level that I used to thrive at.
I am now out for the bigger fix…taking it to a higher level, which is where I think DT is probably at.
DT is very good at what he does, and I’m sure that at this point in his life he is ready for a greater challenge.
He doesn’t need money, his kids are competent and smart and can only prosper under his continued guidance at them running his businesses.
Time to move on to bigger challenges where the stakes are yet higher and the challenges more immense.
Can he succeed? Can he convince the people he needs to, to come around to seeing his vision and joining in ?
People like Obama have come to the table with nothing to offer and BS’ed
their way into power aided and abetted by a corrupt political machine.
Trump is no such animal…to him it is ‘the test’ and the crowning glory to a life well lived.
If he can pull it off satisfactorily then in the annals of history he will be considered a great man.
What mere mortal could ask for more?
The way the pseudo-democracy that is the USA works, the effectiveness of the President depends in large part on who he/she puts in their (unelected) cabinet.
I don’t dispute that Trump is a better choice than Mme Clinton. So is the guy with no pants I saw picking bottles out of a dumpster in the rain earlier today. My question is: can DT select and work effectively with 15-16 people when he is used to making executive decisions unilaterally as a businessman?
Could be interesting.
Alyric, you seem unawares of how corporations, governments, or other large organization SHOULD function. Trump has been all over the board in his past. I was shocked to hear he was running as a republican. But all that is not what I was addressing, and you seem to have had the essence of what that was fly over your head. Most who campaign are only marginally aware of what they face once elected, so why make a lot of promises based on what you DON’T know. As to policy, again, you need the levers of power before you can understand what you can do, before you can implement things. Nothing like decreeing something and have thos ewho you need to implement it threaten to walk off the job, heh.
now lets see, oh yah, yer just trying to slap down NME666, rather than further the conversation. Dumb is as dumb does.
Trump and the Abandonment of Principle
Republicans and conservatives have maintained their old, traditional mantra: “free enterprise, private property, and limited government.” They include it in their speeches. It’s on their stationery, websites, and social media.
But the mantra has always been a lie, and deep down Republicans and conservatives have known it.
…
take heed of what happens to a movement that abandons principle for the sake of acceptance, popularity, credibility, and votes and a movement whose adherents resign themselves to becoming reformers, rather than dismantlers, of the welfare-warfare state. As we are seeing with Donald Trump, the result is a movement in which people stand for anything and everything except freedom.

I still think that Donald Trump is a New York Republican (a Democrat anywhere else). Conservatives are going to get a rude awakening if he is elected.
I believe the series of movie scenes which Smitherenzes’comments represents comes fro the Costner Film “Dances with Wolves”.
It is the time when the Young American Indian Warrior was riding His Horse facing backwards; then walking backwards into the water of the river and emerging to scrub Himself clean with dirt. The wiser Tribal Elder merely said; and I paraphrase; “He is a Contrarian-we need such people when discussing issues-the information is usually not relevant-but it sometimes means the Elders take other considerations into account”.
Who is Trump? He got a leg up in his business career by a father who provided the seed money. I give him credit that he did not lose it no matter how many times he flirted with failure.
Trump’s career is in real estate. It is one of the most leveraged ways of making money. Valuation of real estate is always open to interpretation. Trump has done well at a time of ‘cheap’ money where investment chased returns. How much of his success was a result of that reality? Release your tax returns Mr. Trump.
Negotiator? How much negotiation takes place when the fellow across the table has the big wallet? USA still has the biggest wallet so perhaps Trump can simply do what he has always done. Canada should worry about NAFTA as both Hillary and Donald say they will make changes. Canadians had better realize the importance of Trans Mountain and Energy East pipelines very quickly.
Trump in the end, will be the biggest disappointment in history, and that says a lot considering who we have in power now. More wars, Massive surveillance, and an economy run by Goldman Sachs.You may get your wall, but that’s going to be used for keeping you in. He cant be trusted, he says one thing does another. He is even against the Constitution, thinks it needs to be revamp. He is not an outsider, like they make him out to be, very well connected and hand picked.
