One thing with the article, VDH is always criticizing trump’s use of tweets, but they seem to always accomplish the desired results. Perhaps he should rethink that.

Sure would be nice to read this article.

National Review loads up so many ads that it crashes my IPAD.

Guess they don’t want me to read it.

I do the same thing. I was scratching my head and *very concerned* over Trump's seemingly unhinged, off-the-cuff 5:00 am tweets, particularly Saturday morning's.

I have to remind myself that they only appear this way. Trump's tweets are actually very carefully thought out.

Yes, he’s inexact and clumsy like a nuclear bomb, and destroys like a nuclear bomb.

Even when he is inexact or sloppy, everyone knows what he is talking about because that’s the way normal Americans act.

Neophytes. That is not how you operate inside the swamp.

It bothers me greatly when some people say that Obamagate may be the “biggest scandal since Watergate”. It is obviously greater than Watergate. Worst scandal in the history of the US, in my opinion.

There is a lot of competition for that “honor.”

My candidate would be “Mediagate.” The fact that the wire services - especially the AP, but actually all of them - homogenize journalism into its default condition, which is cynicism towards society and naïveté towards government. That is, journalism is nothing but "liberalism." And the public doesn’t get it. I didn’t, when I was young.

45 percent will not. My dad just said that if obama had the Trump campaign survived, it's because he thought they were colluding with the Russians. Brain dead!
