The Magic of Trump
US Defense Watch ^ | February 23, 2016 | Ray Starmann

Trump does it again, tonight in Nevada!

Everyone thought he wouldn’t last; the pundits, the GOP Establishment, Mummy Bush, Jeb! and Rich Lowry and his dog and pony show at the National Review, which participated in the Great Trump Trashing several weeks ago.

The GOP Establishment has predicted Trump’s demise a million times in the last year.

Indeed reports of the Man with the Golden Do’s political death are greatly exaggerated.

Jeb thought that his myriad of country club memberships and his Bromance with the RNC would allow him to be a virtual shoe in for the nomination this year. Instead of being a shoe in, Jeb was given the Kiwi Express by Trump, aka a highly-shined boot into his backside and out the door.

Trump is slowly making Cruz into a national spokesman for falsehoods and dirty politics. The Cruz Campaign’s dirty politics in the last couple weeks make Dickie Daley and the Chicago Machine look like altar boys. Cruz is already disliked by most members of Congress. Now, the rest of the country can get to know him and hate him as well. Cruz is the roué on the riverboat with six aces up his red velvet jacket.

Rubio hasn’t realized yet that he doesn’t get a trophy for second place. You have to actually come in first place in a primary and actually in the majority of the primaries to win the nomination. Time for a reality check Marco. Meanwhile…Trump is warming up, ready to burst open Rubio like a piñata now that he’s laid waste to Jeb.

Trump has pretty much ignored Kasich. Kasich is too busy feeding the poor and healing the sick to fire a shot over the bow at Trump. Kasich, perhaps, more than the others senses the Trump Magic.

What is the Trump Magic?

From the start of his campaign, Trump quickly made a reputation as the candidate ready and willing to say anything deemed politically incorrect and the guy who refused to apologize in a nation of chronic apologizers and eggshell walkers.

Suddenly, Trump was saying everything everyone has been thinking. He was tapping into the subconscious zeitgeist.

Trump first captured the attention of conservatives by vowing to build a wall on the Mexican border and charging the bill to Juan’s Taco Casa in Mexico City. His call to roundup 11 million illegals in some sort of Gestapo operation is ludicrous, but none the less, it brought him attention and got him support from Americans who have zero faith in their government.

The Trump Magic is harnessing all of the anger of Americans and turning it into a Tony Robbins power of positive thought movement that is crushing the rest of the Republican candidates and is set to launch into whatever socialist wind bag the Democrats field.

GOP pundits constantly claim that Trump isn’t a real conservative in the vein of someone like…uh…Romney. Who cares? So what if Trump didn’t support some Republican position in 1988. He’s an eternal optimist, a populist and a master of reading the public. Trump knows the public wants action and wants it now! The public is sick and tired of watching the US go down the drain at the hands of inept idiots in the White House and Republican cowards in Congress. The public is sick and tired of watching the US be humiliated across the world.

Enter Trump who has vowed to blow ISIS off the map, tell the Iranians where they can shove their nuke deal, audit the Federal Reserve and prosecute Hillary Clinton. Enter Trump who tells Americans to stop wasting time worrying if something is racist or sexist or whatever-ist, while the country is going off the proverbial cliff.

Trump’s red, white and blue rhetoric is tapping into the Silent Majority that went into hibernation in 1974 with the demise of Nixon. The Silent Majority is back and with them the hardhats and the Reagan Dems who are shifting to Trump in droves.

The public is eyeing Trump and thinking, maybe the Four Billion Dollar Man can truly bring back American jobs and factories and corporations that have escaped to every continent on earth.

The public is eyeing Trump and thinking, you know what, let’s give this guy a chance, because everyone else is either a boob or incapable of winning.

Trump is the consummate winner. He’s a political Vince Lombardi. His game plan is simple. He wants to win. He wants America to win. He knows Americans want to win again.

And, that is the Magic of Trump.

Nor should you. His economic policies are identical to Obama’s. Apes me for healthcare. Why the hell did so many conservatives oppose Obamacare only to turn around and support w guy who said he loves he mandate and wants complete wiggle layer? Makes no sense,

Only Trump has stood up against the media, China, Mexico ,illegals, Muslims (All of the enemies of America and freedom). etc. All other politicians have not stood up nor said anything against ALL of these enemies of America.

President Trump will tame China! China has been eating our lunch as China makes everything.China uses unfair trade deals against the USA. Where the factories are ,the technology is and so is the power and wealth.China knows this ,S Korea, Japan all of Asia knows this. No one understands this here in America except me and Trump!

Ted (TPA) Cruz helped push Obamatrade on us which is the worst thing ever for America:
http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/international/239750-ted-cruz-joins-the-establishment

Establishment, globalist advocates published what will go down as the most disingenuous, deceitful and outright dishonest promotional piece on behalf of the so-called fast-track trade authority that could have been written. Authored by establishment GOP Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and heretofore “conservative” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), the op-ed in The Wall Street Journal is a compilation of talking points and slick dodges. It is textbook propaganda that would make the disinformation experts of the KGB blush.

The dynamic duo start by asserting that the U.S. must “strengthen the country’s bargaining position” by giving President Obama fast-track powers. Really? The GOP Congress thinks it is vital to our national interest to expand the powers in Obama’s hands?

The banking establishment is finally allowing us a piddling interest rate of 1.25 or 1.50 percent on our CD’s. Guess they see the public is really pissed at crony capitalism.

China this week tries to reign in the North Koreans. The Trump effect.

Huckabee refused to apologize for some alleged offensive statement a few days after Trump didn’t play the ‘will you apologize’ game.

Now Republicans are openly tossing Obama’s Gitmo and SCOTUS plans in the trash.

THE TRUMP EFFECT!

The man is single-handedly re-attaching the balls to this nation!

“No matter what he says or does ... I still don’t trust him.”

That’s OK, just stand back, hold my beer, and watch this!

Trump The Magic Populist — The media once again are picking the
‘Pubs’ nominee. They want Trump to run against Hillary (an awful candidate in her own right), because of his high negatives with women and minorities.

I look at it like this:

If no one builds ‘a wall’ and enforces the laws and does nothing about the illegal immigrants, our country is lost to us - obamacare won't matter nor will anything else.

You know the libs in NYC are floating a bill to allow illegals the vote ? The way the world is now, you can't say that would never be passed as law.

Makes no sense,

Don't fret. I know Republicans aren't happy unless they're losing Presidential elections with their purity intact. I think it comes from having parents who enjoyed Wagner. Gotterdammerung and all that. Have hope. Trump might lose the general and you can spend another 4 years miserable.

2 weeks ago Cruz Bots were riding high

Donald Trump destroyed him with his 150 IQ , Debate Champion . a ton of money .

Now he is known as a lair ( mostly by sneaky Rubio) his supporters beg each primary for a second place finish. It's sad.

I notice that establishment Rubio supporters won't even come here.

CNN is reporting Trump’s 44% but under a banner: ‘Trump says he loves the poorly educated,” and a fat guy is repeating (for the hard of hearing?) that ‘Trump may be popular among some GOP Latinos but he his very unpopular among Latinos in general.’
When you hear that stuff 24/7 from the news organs of the parties that are just different sides of the same coin (and preparing to be ****canned this fall), you start to believe it. It’s human nature.
Also—yeah, he’s a force of nature, with all good things being great but not all great things necessarily being good.
