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.
OPINION: Trump’s momentum may not last

LOL!
Denial is a river in Egypt...
Wow, who did those clowns think they were fooling?
But yet, the media won’t dare call black dress as KKK members as racist.....
I love him more than you do
The tragic of mumps.
Where’ve I heard that before?
lol, they wrote that article a couple days ago, just waited for the right time to post it.
What nonsense
Is he going to drop out tomorrow as well?
because of his high negatives with women and minorities.
............................................................
Baloney! Trump won 45% of the Hispanics in Nevada and all the demographics including women across thhe board except 18 to 29 year olds. Any strong independent womaan wants a strong Alpha Male as president, not another Wimp like the one who has brought America down to destruction.
Trump won among women and Hispanics tonight.
I wonder just how many people are going through that very process
Who do you trust?
It’s not magic. With the exception of the so-cons, Trump has been seeing & feeling & stewing about the same things practically all Americans have been for years- some to more of a degree than others, but still enough to resonate strongly.
The difference between us & him is that he had the platform & the money to do something about it when his ‘now or never’ moment came.
Sometimes, social conservatives remind me of the story about the man in the flood who eventually drowns (having refused rescue attempts twice) & when he is before God, he asks ‘’Why didn’t you save me?”
God Says ‘’What did you want me to do? I sent you a boat & a helicopter.’’
If Trump becomes the nominee- & then, the president, social conservatives will *have* someone who will hear them & take them to heart. And who will be unconcerned by the uniparty’s usual objections.
I *believe* that he will do everything in his power to remedy y’all’s concerns.
Actually, it's no opinion at all but a constitutional fact: After 8 years as president, Trump can no longer keep up the momentum to win and be president. :)
Black Magic
What hysterical, feeble propaganda!
I guess that's why 0bama is for the TPP, while Trump is staunchly against it, right?
And I guess that's why Trump wants to radically reform the tax system, and 0bama wants the status quo, right?
And I guess that's why Trump wants to repeal 0bamacare, right?
Your assertion is absurd on its face...
Trump won among women & minorities voting in a ‘Pub caucus that drew ~10% of eligible voters. That’s a big difference from his numbers among the general electorate. If he’s the GOP’s nominee, I hope I’m wrong. I’ll vote for Trump, but right now he does the worst against Hildebeast. If the ‘Pubs can lose twice to a Commie Homo crypto-Muzzie Usurpatious Traitor, they can lose to a Stalinist Congenital Liar cum Career Criminal Lesbian.
Spouting off promises he never intends to keep and the court jesters dance at his feet believing every word
How can you say Trump stood up AGAINST the media?
He has had MORE free air time than any candidate than I can remember.
Bouncing from one news program to another. Having special announcements aired at will
Stood up to them BS. They are in his pocket like they are in Obama's pocket.
Your charlatan is just another Obama, get over it
Yes, it’s possible. Depends on how far gone the population is for the Commie way of life. HOWEVER, I find an extremely encouraging factor nobody is talking about. Look at the NUMBERS of people coming out to caucus and vote. In all four so far, the voters have FAR EXCEEDED the norm and are setting records. In ALL FOUR more people are voting and more NEW voters are coming out. Sounds to me like America is waking up and HOPE is taking over. I hope it is the old WINNING SPIRIT of AMERICA we are seeing again!
