Trump - Make America Great Again!

Trump = Archie Bunker

Except Archie Bunker had an endearing quality to him.

Most Trump supporters want to go back to the seventies before technology changed the world.

I do agree every time the media tries to do their normal "gotcha" with Trump and his low brow vocabulary and loses, I smile inside.

I am so tired of having the media (news media and social media) jump down people's throats for what they say, even in the most innocent and meaningless ways. It's just so sad. So what if Trump said "schlonged"? Really, who cares? Does it REALLY matter?

No, it doesn't. And maybe this country and it's political leadership and the citizens need to grow a pair and not let words keeps bothering us so much. Learn to fight back a bit if you are pissed rather than run to social media when your panties are in a bunch.

This is all backlash against political correctness and nonsensical psychological feeling crap that the educated elite seem to think would be better for this country. We've had a decade of political correctness being championed at every step and I don't see race relations any better because of it. In fact, it's worse.

Trump is tapping into the backlash against white guilt, political correctness, educational elite talking down on people, European socialism and a failing, weak foreign policy.

That's his platform.

Some here don't take those issues that seriously I guess, because those that think he's just a flash in the pan are really fooling themselves. He is serious candidate that is single-handedly shaping this political season and dictating the issues. Even if he doesn't win, that has been damn impressive.
 
TRUMP WINS AGAIN

Donald J. Trump �@realDonaldTrump 3m3 minutes ago

When I said that Hillary Clinton got schlonged by Obama, it meant got beaten badly. The media knows this. Often used word in politics!

Donald J. Trump �@realDonaldTrump 3h3 hours ago

Once again, #MSM is dishonest. "Schlonged" is not vulgar. When I said Hillary got "schlonged" that meant beaten badly.

Donald J. Trump �@realDonaldTrump 3h3 hours ago

NPR's @NealConan said "schlonged" to WaPo re: 1984 Mondale/Ferraro campaign: "That ticket went on to get schlonged at the polls." #Hypocrisy

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 3h3 hours ago

For those on TV defending my use of the word "schlonged," bc #MSM is giving it false meaning-tell them it means beaten badly. Dishonest #MSM

Jeff Greenfield @greenfield64 3h3 hours ago

On further review, Trump is right on this. “I got schlonged” is a commonplace NY way of saying: “I lost big time,” w/out genital reference.

Trump continues to beat the double standards of the media political correctness!

With Clinton's multiple failures, scandals and lies, he'd have a field day with her.

You mean he's going to schlong her
 
The truth is, the Clintons thought they had the 2008 nomination in the bag. She did, indeed, get schlonged when the media turned on her for an upstart clean, articulate black man.

I heard about one commentator that interpreted The Donald's comment as "branding Obama a black rapist".... Yeah, exactly what he meant.
 
Ya know, I don't care what he meant and I don't care how other people took it. Call me old fashioned, I still want a president with some eloquence, class, and decorum. The people I respect the most in this world are not the ones who can hurl insults, shock people and demand attention through their childish antics. They are the ones who command respect through their intelligence, determination, quiet strength, and dignity.

You've got it backwards.

Trump's followers are, themselves, crude lowbrow individuals. They created the Trump myth. The back it, they promote it. Thinking people on the Right and in the Center largely (and rightly) dismiss Trump as a fad. And he is. When the real election bullets start flying, actual votes are cast and the attack ad season is in full swing, Trump will implode. Popular support is NOT a base. A base supports the candidate even when he's NOT popular. Trump doesn't have that. The second things get really ugly for his campaign, it'll collapse like the house of cards that it is.

Donald Trump's campaign is Miami Vice. Really hot at the moment, but 10 years later people will think it was silly and wonder what all the fuss was about.

I don't agree with this at all.

Trump has started the Nationalist Party here in the States. And I think it will take hold much more so than the Tea Party as potential right-wing ideologies over the next 20-25 years. You might think his delivery is crude and lowbrow but the message is not. His message has been resonating in Europe for the better part of 20 years.

Now you can agree or disagree with Nationalist principles all you want. You can call them a step away from Fascism just like some European Socialists are a step away from Communism (cough **Sanders** cough). That's a valid opinion. You can call Nationalists too backwards. But I think it's a legitimate platform that many Republicans are going to incorporate into their opinions based completely on how well Trump is doing in the polls. I would argue Cruz has abandoned much of his Tea Party and Religious message for some Nationalist rhetoric in response to Trump's popularity (maybe not in Iowa, which is dominated by evangelicals, but elsewhere around the country). Trump is not arguing at all on the Tea Party message. Very little evangelical **** in his speeches. And he's certainly not running on "smaller government" and more States' rights. He says enough on those things to appear Republican enough, but we all know he's not a religious person (I doubt he cares at all about organized religion) and we all know he doesn't want to yield executive branch powers in the event he wins. He wants executive, federal power to "win" as he puts it.

I have no doubt he is what many call a RINO because he is not a crazy bible waving, gun-toting, Tea Party clown that thinks the world is 6000 years old or creationism is a "science". Thank god for that.

But he is right wing. VERY right wing in his message. Because Nationalism is right wing. It's the backbone of right wing politics in Europe, which is where I think this country will eventually evolve into because that's where the liberals are pushing us. The Tea Party message is a failure on a national level. Anyone with a brain knows that. But the Nationalist message? Don't know yet. Maybe Trump is crazy like a fox in seeing this way before many political experts.
 

Phyllis Schlafly: Trump Is ‘Last Hope For America’
Posted By Scott Greer On 2:21 PM 12/21/2015 In | No Comments

Long-time conservative leader and publicist Phyllis Schlafly believes that the only person who can save America from the precipice of disaster is Donald J. Trump.

In a weekend interview with WND, Schlafly said of the GOP front-runner, “He does look like he’s the last hope [for America]. We don’t hear anybody saying what he’s saying. In fact, most of the people who ought to be lining up with him are attacking him.”

[dcquiz] She attributed some of the criticism Trump receives from Republican rivals to their jealousy over the billionaire receiving more air time than they do. The conservative author also said that The Donald’s trademark slogan “Make America Great Again” is very poignant at this point in time.

“The reason he gets so much press coverage is the grassroots are fed up with people who are running things, and they do want a change. They do want people to stand up for America. It really resonates when he says he wants to ‘Make America Great Again,'” she told WND.

Schlafly declared that Americans have been “betrayed” by both parties — citing the omnibus crafted and passed by House Speaker Paul Ryan last week as a prime example — and that Trump’s combative message, in her opinion, is attracting discontented voters from all over the political spectrum. (RELATED: Ryan’s Omnibus Is Not A Compromise — It’s Capitulation)

“It sounds like Donald Trump is the only one who has any fight in him,” she stated. “He will fight for the issues that we really care about and are very hot at the present time, such as the immigration issue. I don’t see anyone else who’s eager to fight.”

But haven't you been fooled enough like the rest of us? They all command those qualities, then disappoint after they're elected.

The only one who did not disappoint and maintained those standards throughout their presidency was Reagan.

Is this really you Del? Nice job.
 
Here is the problem I have.....The stuff Trump wants to do is going to be near impossible to pass. How does he honestly think he will get Mexico to pay for a wall? Banning Muslims will never pass and his tax plan will be a tough sell even if it sounds like a good idea. I hope he repeals Obama Care, but he just cant swing a magic wand and have it gone. Unless he becomes like a dictator and bypasses congress (which will probably get him impeached) I do not see how he can do most of the stuff he wants even if it is a good idea. Trump offends both parties and I can see them uniting just to deny him or his ideas. It may make good entertainment value, but not sure how much will get accomplished.

We already have a president that bypasses congress and ignores the constitution. That will be old hat by the time Trump tries it. Also, congress accomplishes very little now, aside from stabbing their constituents repeatedly in the back. I guess when you look at it, things will pretty much stay the same.

Funny, that's what I thought about Jesse Ventura and Al Franken being elected in Minnesota, one of our more "progressive" states. I guess you just can't underestimate the determination of a populace to show it's discontent with the status quo. And let's be honest, Hilary Clinton is the status quo, as is Jeb.

Really? So then neither you nor he knows a thing about the Tea Party?

Do you really want that though? The Presidency becoming an authoritarian dictatorship? I don't......but I get where you're coming from, that the precedent has been set, but I don't want it to continue. I want a CONSTITUTIONAL government..... (that's not yelling, just passion.) And I would support Presidential executive orders that circumvent Congress only to the extent that they undo the eo's of the current ******* son of the communist pornographer. Further than that though it is up to us to begin electing a congress that does things in the interest of the country and not themselves. It will take time but we didn't find ourselves circling the bowl overnight either.
