Update: Highest rated event in CNN history.
David Limbaugh: If Trump is a monster, the establishment is Dr. Frankenstein, so please spare us the lectures.
Jonah Goldberg and the Anti-Trump Bourgeoisie
After saying he would build the border wall, for two long months our corrupt media, in a desperate bid to disqualify this policy, dropped Trump in The Barrel. He was called every “ist” in the book, boycotted by numerous business partners, and more times than I can count, called “road kill” by all The Smart People.
This media storm (aided by some weak-kneed Republicans) only served to boost Trump because unlike so many in the Republican Party, when confronted by a media attack, Trump not only refused to back down, he effectively fought back.
Those in favor of The Wall are neither racist nor nativist nor rubes. In fact they are smarter than many of the so-called GOP intellectuals hurling those insults because The Rubes “get it” — they understand that our open border is an existential threat to conservatism, and by extension America. It’s this simple: We either fix this problem or left-wing Democrats win a permanent majority and the Obama-era never ends.
Maybe the bourgeois GOP are too “smart” to grasp such a simple concept. Nevertheless, it is perfectly conservative to be a one issue voter on this one issue.
I don’t care how much you hate him. Read it all.
Victor Davis Hanson; The truth is that the illegal-immigration lobby was its own worst enemy, its message couched in racism, illegality, untruth — and finally incoherence. People tired of being called racists by racial chauvinists, of being dubbed insensitive by unfeeling opportunists, and of being called politically naive by political manipulators.
Cause if the supposed sane candidates are coming out with crap like this then after Hillary wins, we’ll need it to keep the Yanks out.
Roger Ailes responds to this crap:
"@mstanish53: @realDonaldTrump @megynkelly The bimbo back in town . I hope not for long ."

There is a reason that Megyn Kelly’s show is challenging O’Reilly on ratings, as opposed to ‘On the Record with Donald Trump’ or the ‘Trump Show with Hannity’.

Not just one Trump post, but two!
Stuff like this is why Trump is winning.
Trump – 1, SJW Media Shill – 0
People who hate being called RINO’s, calling Trump a RINO.
They cannot take conservatism, reinvent its meaning, and attach it to whatever cause or character they happen to identify with. Conservatism is a philosophy; it has a history and a core set of principles. It’s been shaped by towering intellectual figures.
Now, I’m no Trump booster, but looking at the success rate of the “electable” establishment candidates over the last 10 years would indicate to me that going along to get along isn’t particularly smart.
Maybe Trump simply is the most electable, mostly conservative there is, because you know what? A CINO Republican is not going to win, either.
A Morning Consult tracking online national poll found Trump increasing his lead to 32 percent –21 percentage points ahead of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who garnered 11 percent.
And a new poll from Reuters found Trump leading among Republican voters after the debate with 24 percent, compared to 12 percent for Bush. Trump’s numbers were unchanged from a previous Reuters poll, but Bush’s numbers were down from 17 percent in the online poll.
The new polls underlines a sense that Trump is not like other presidential candidates, and that controversies that would sink others bounce off the billionaire businessman. Many thought comments he made last month denigrating Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) war service would do him in. Instead, Trump’s poll numbers grew.
It’s hard to challenge the credibility of others after you’ve thrown your own away.

Phase One, the Undercard Debate: Carly Fiorina for the win. Then she chews on Chris Matthews for dessert.
The Primetime Debate can be watched here. (updated link)
Billionaire businessman demonstrates to Gawker why he’s a billionaire businessman, and they’re not.
The media and politicians forget that regular Joe Republicans despise the ring-leaders more than they do the clown in the circus.
The media consensus that Trump's comments about McCain would sink him should cause some collective introspection http://t.co/6xVsblqUg8

Besides, when was the last time anyone in media was ever accused of introspection?
Belief in the integrity of the system is essential to a functioning democracy or republic.
Moreover, polls have shown that like the overwhelming majority of Americans, blacks support voter ID rules.
The Radical Middle: “If you don’t want their votes, it’s because you don’t want to win.”
The Stupid Party: “And establishment GOP types wonder why Trump and his pugilistic tone is sucking the oxygen out of the big tent.”
“There is a disturbance in American politics.”
It is always remarkable to witness experts not understanding the field in which they are experts; even more remarkable, they still do not recognize the frustration of the masses, despite the unsettling wave elections of 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2014 that vividly affirmed populist movements against both political parties’ establishments.
Americans are just tired of it all. Tired of no one speaking honestly to them, tired of being told they cannot speak honestly.

Never forget: at the “extreme right” of the political spectrum are the American Founding Fathers. At the extreme left are 100 million dead people.
Trump backed down MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell….
Gee, why is he surging?
