My brother, Rush, said on his program Thursday that Donald Trump, in taking the fight directly to President Obama, has provided a winning blueprint for defeating him in 2012.
Rush was referring to the way in which Trump think what you will about him and his politics has boldly challenged President Obama on a number of issues, including the notorious birth certificate fracas, obviously unconcerned about fallout from the liberal media.
The issue here is not Obama's birth certificate; it is Trump's aggressive, offensive posture in challenging Obama across the board. He rightly recognizes that America's financial condition is in shambles and contends that Obama's incoherent approach to foreign policy is making the U.S. a laughingstock in the international community.
Trump is not my candidate for a number of reasons, including that I don't believe he's been reliably conservative over the years, but I have no doubt that Republicans can learn great lessons from his direct, fearless approach.
The first application of the Trump blueprint should be the congressional Republicans' approach to the budget war, in both the short-term battles over the umpteenth continuing resolution and the battle over Rep. Paul Ryan's long-term budget proposal.
Too many Republicans have paralyzed themselves with fear about the potential negative fallout from a government shutdown over this year's budget. They believe Bill Clinton successfully pinned the blame on Newt Gingrich over the shutdowns of 1995 and 1996 and greatly damaged GOP electoral prospects as a result. They believe the liberal media will be able to crucify Republicans.
Let me tell you in a nutshell why I believe Republicans must not succumb to their fear and compromise on the $61 billion and why my conservative colleagues should not be squeamish about this path.

West is a coward and a traitor.
Thank you for your reply. I didn’t know he said this. Was this at a town hall meeting? Is it from a youtube vid?

Agreed. I say let Trump run. Its a free country lets see what he is made of. I would love to see him in the debates again’st the others. If they carefully parse every word terrified of calling BHO out Trump will look great in comparison just because he will come right out and say what he thinks. IMO people are so ticked off right now they will cheer anybody who just stands up and tells it like it is.
Thanks again. Food for thought.
You say West is a coward and a traitor because he puts the birth certificate issue on a back burner. Then that makes Rush a coward and traitor as well and I won’t listen to him ever again. /sarc
Yes, Limbaugh is a coward and a traitor.
Problem Is Boner is already Caving ,when he came out of the White Hut yesterday he said they were close to a deal and he said he was at 40 Billion in cuts ,what Happened to the 100?
These are cuts for the second half of fiscal year 2011. Some cuts were already enacted through prior continuing resolutions. The $100 billion was for 2012, see the Paul Ryan roadmap. The current "shutdown" debate is cleanup of the mess the Democrats left by refusing to pass any budget for this year.
things are getting more interesting than I expected.
That Titcomb arrest is a winner.

Trump would be a good president, but I hope that he’ll get political experience, before he runs for that job. He should move to Conn. and run for the U.S. Senate, since Sen. Lieberman is retiring. Trump would win and be re-elected in 2018. If that happens, he’d be a great presidential candidate, in 2020 or ‘24.
thanks
Hopefully Titcomb will only have to wait till Jan 19, 2013 for his pardon and not Jan 19, 2017.
It’s good to hear someone say that they want to see America at 1 # again.... in other words, he is America first.
