T. Belman. This is a long, articulate, perceptive article published under the title “Trump Steamroller Racks Up More Victories” I selecteed only one paragraph.
By Conrad Black, NATIONAL REVIEW
[..]The last refuge of the Trumpophobes is the argument that Hillary will hammer Donald. I don’t think so. She has never faced a serious opponent and has advanced to her preeminence by shadowing her husband, yet being distinguished from him by her victimhood. It has been a skillfully calculated advance from Birnam Wood to Dunsinane, interrupted by Obama’s hijacking of the Clintons’ party for the overdue shattering of the color-bar. But now, all her falsehoods, her absence of a real public record, her working both sides of the street as a feminist and a wronged woman, the profligacies of the Clintons, and the American public’s boredom with the Bush-Clinton era, will come home to roost. Donald’s limitations are obvious and have been more than adequately decried, but no one should doubt that he will throw everything that isn’t nailed down at Hillary and carpet-bomb the country with well-placed negative advertising through October. This isn’t Don Tyson’s free pass to a jackpot or a $150K speech; Hillary is tough and smart, and, as Obama famously said, “likeable enough.” But I doubt she will prevail against Donald, with all the baggage of the snipers in Bosnia (“jetlag” caused this apparition, she said), Benghazi, the apology to the world’s Muslims, the improprieties of the Clinton Foundation, e-mailgate (assuming she isn’t indicted), and the voluminous catalogue of her other jejuneries. Trump’s vulnerabilities have been labored by overreaction for six months and there is unlikely to be too much left in them. Senator Clinton’s apparent defeat of the almost admirably unfeasible Bernie Sanders is little better than a Pyrrhic victory.

babs knows the story is a fake but like the pals continues to press it anyway… a reverse of “it wasn’t me” or the Goebbels principle of repetition creates fact.
babushka Said:
yeh, when you’re a conservative better you cannot veer from the dogma… not good leadership material who needs to adjust to reality. Neither are the leftists who must first have decades of being wrong before they accept reality and say “I was wrong, then”
Keli-A Said:
good post, shining the light on the real lying Ted.
as if it is not enough that he is a do nothing, non achieving speechster and voter…

This from an old Babushka, who smells of smoke, stale food and an uncertain bladder
Keli-A Said:
That surely includes both Laura and Babs.
Keli-A Said:
Hilary married Bill and stuck with him all these years.

@ Laura:
Not nice Laurale’… you do have such an overbearing visceral hate for the Donald… Haaaa
Laura Said:
No it wasn’t that high but much greater than white males in all demographic sectors. Women gave Obama and Clinton their electoral majorities in the final analysis. No I don’t trust anybodies judgment especially the judgment of the Jews, and mostly that of Jewish women in their political choices.
I would lose no sleep should trump get befallen by a massive heart attack, stroke.
Keli-A
You don’t trust the judgement of goyim. I thought that in this multicultural society of ours that word is racist.
@ oldjerry:
Actually Cruz and other former candidates have a far better chance of beating Hillary, ACCORDING TO POLLS. Trump trails Hillary by a lot. Cruz has a slight lead over her.
Keli-A Said:
Indeed conservatives are being pushed out by the trumpsters who Mark Levin describes as the trump-Ross Perot-Pat Buchanan nationalist, populist progressives. populism is leftism.
Keli-A Said:
The women’s vote for them wasn’t that high. I sure as hell don’t trust the judgment of the dumb, blue collar, goyim, misogynist trumpsters. They are supporting a guy who’s very erratic and clearly mentally ill.
Bear Klein Said:
Trump looks like he will NOT win Wisconsin and take too few delegates in California to get to 1237. So who the nominee will be is up in the air for the GOP.
Many delegates who want most to beat Hillary in November will choose someone other than Trump.
babushka Said:
Leftists are active while conservatives are passive, defending the old values. Conservatives are being pushed out. The right accept the natural way of things: ethics, religion, nationalism. The leftists presume the world primitively rational, build artificial theories, and hatefully reject everything that doesn’t fit their preconceptions. Curious that the US government supports right movements worldwide, but left in Israel.
Laura Said:
You mean those 70% of women who voted twice for Obama and before him twice for Clinton…..based on their judgement would you still want a woman as president? Scary 😛
oldjerry Said:
Ugly, fat and stupid describes trump. Thanks for continuing to make my case against trump, who’s followers are as vile and misogynistic as he is. Good luck in November without 70% of the female vote, sucker.
The pseudo conservatives who emerged from the closet to support Trump are now extremely vulnerable because they have blown their cover. Ann Coulter has always been a carnival sideshow, but Sean Hannity had credibility with conservatives that no longer exists. The same goes for Laura Ingraham and Matt Drudge. I am not certain anyone still believed that Murdoch’s Fox playpen was anything more than a marketing tool for his investments, but if they did the illusion has now been shattered.
And then there are Jeff Sessions and Sarah Palin, two icons of the conservative movement who will never be able to wash the putrid stench of supporting Trump off themselves. That is the price to be paid when people turn their backs on their stated conservative beliefs to embrace a leftist totalitarian.
Expediency. Short term bullish, but long term bearish.
babushka Said:
Maybe yes maybe no?
After years of steady growth, Breitbart has seen a reduction in hits since January…right about the time Stephen K. Bannon decided to turn the site into Trumpbart. Enjoy it while you can. Current management has destroyed the reputation of Andrew Breitbart’s site, just one of several casualties created by adherence to the cult.
Many more to come.
babushka Said:
Trumps mkanager denies video supports him yet she stuck to her story. Breitbart refused to back her up and support her so the whole anti Trump clique at Breitbart quit and no big loss they are doing better than ever and are on the right side of the issue…. I am now a fan. 🙂
babushka Said:
HoneyBee is “Husky” didn’t know that have you ever seen her?
Nice love song to “oldjerry” ?? Didn’t know.
I don’t find Megyn Kelly attractive and I ain’t blind either.
I must come to honeybees’s defense. She is not fat. She is “husky”.
So, oldjerry, your eyes tell you that Megyn Kelly is ugly?

Not so.Only the ugly, fat and stupid ones. The attractive, intelligent ones he marries.
Just keep those anti-Trump mud fests coming because they are not hurting Trump, they’re helping him. The more he’s attacked the more supporters he gains. So in the end Trump will thank all you Trump haters for helping elect him.
@ babushka:
I could not have said it better myself, Babushka.
This creature is repugnant even to GOP women, forget about democrats and independents.
He will get trounced by Hillary. Perhaps that is exactly the idea. Remember he spoke to Bill on the phone just prior to entering the race? Isn’t it funny that every time a Clinton runs for president, along comes a billionaire to enter the race? Isn’t it funny that every other GOP candidate EXCEPT trump could have beat Hillary. Trump’s low information voters have no clue they are being manipulated into placing him as the nominee in order for Hillary to win.
I can’t think of any other reason that Trump is alienating large swaths of the population. Either its by design or he has serious psychological problems.
Now the question would be what’s in it for Trump that he would help Hillary get to the White House? Perhaps business opportunities in Cuba? Perhaps a GOP president would reverse Obama’s opening to Cuba, or at least that’s what trump thinks. Especially someone like Cruz.
Trump routinely disparages women as being “pigs” and “bimbos”.
He repeatedly seeks to marginalize females by publicly humiliating them about their looks.
His campaign manager physically assaulted a female reporter and refers to women as “cunts”.
If your response to this bigotry is to support Trump, do the country a favor and spend Election Day in therapy.
You need it.
Yes Regan came from behind with Carter. So theoretically it is possible.
Yet Trump is not Regan.
Trump has super high negatives. 77% with Latinos. He does badly with the 18-29 olds and does horrible with women. He would loose Utah a GOP state and very possibly Arizona also a GOP state. He would loose Florida and Ohio. In other words he is probably more Barry Goldwater than Ronald Regan. Goldwater lost 44 states. Trump is even behind in North Carolina another GOP state. So it feels like Goldwater except for the devotees to Trump, who basically are not analyzing generally but looking thru Trump glasses.
The most recent general election polls reflect the above out.
General Election: Trump vs. Clinton Monmouth Clinton 48, Trump 38 Clinton +10
General Election: Cruz vs. Clinton Monmouth Clinton 45, Cruz 40 Clinton +5
General Election: Kasich vs. Clinton Monmouth Kasich 45, Clinton 39 Kasich +6
Reagan’s unfavorable ratings were in the thirties, not the seventies. Reagan was not unhinged, furiously posting misogynistic Twitter messages at two in the morning. Reagan was not a vulgar, profane lout whose supporters were incapable of articulating a coherent reason for supporting him.
The better the American people knew Reagan, the more they liked him. The more exposure people have to Trump, the more he disgusts them. The phenomenon is documented quantitatively in one survey after another. Reagan had huge upside growth potential, whereas Trump is severely limited to the cult of seething Archie Bunker-style slobs who already worship him.
Given the company you keep you would have no way of knowing, but civilized Americans are appalled by a sick bastard who maliciously attacks females with unprovoked assaults smearing them as stupid/swinish/ugly/cheap. Trump is the drunken scumbag in the sleazy bar whose moronic buddies cheer as he treats women like shit, so you and your fellow oblivious Trumplings have a better chance of joining MENSA than he has of becoming president.
That chance would be “zero”.
Trump has a narrow plurality of support in a minority political party. That translates to being absolutely annihilated in November, even when running against the worst nominee the Democrats have ever had.
You are helping to elect Hillary, who is the most anti-Semitic choice possible. When you get to hell, you will not need to wonder why you are there.
I recall from the 1980 US presidential election that candidate Ronald Reagan started far behind in the polls to President James Earl Carter. Before he was done with Carter, Reagan had all but mopped the floor with his opponent.
I remember in particular a long televised speech — may be almost an hour in length — that Reagan made the night before the election. All in black and white, with the lighting arranged specifically to highlight one side of his face and darken the other. That, and the intensity of his voice captured my attention and that of a friend of mine with whom I watched that Reagan speech. We both agreed that the last-minute speech would pull in a significant vote for Reagan. And that precisely was what happened.
Trump, among other things, is the most powerful personality who has competed for the US presidency since Reagan’s era. Moreover, Trump has been able to capture the votes of vast numbers of persons who have been never or rarely voted, or were independent of party affiliation, or have been part of the Democratic Party coalition since the first presidential run of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1932.
Additionally, Trump is a gut-fighter who will use every available tactic to destroy his opponent — in this case, a woman who not only is generally distrusted by most American voters, but who faces ultiple federal indictments for misuse of secret government data in emails diverted to her home computer, and possibly more damaging, use of hat computer to run the business affairs of the Clinton Foundation while serving as US Secretary of State.
