Jonah has been called upon by the GOPe, I see.
Jonah....focus....we’re trying to defeat the DEMs/Libs.
Eight RINOs in a row and you want another RINO?
Oh Jonah just admit it. You had to attack a man who is standing up for what your best friend Andrew Breitbart would have championed. You messed up Jonah and piled on. Trump took umbrage and fired back. Suck it up lick your wounds and move on. I have now lost respect for you.
Well, that is a another, and interesting, way of looking at it.
That’s your standard for which is the better choice for president?
Self made? Trump? Ha!
Trump is telling “the poor” and everybody else that the Illegal Invader problem is directly affecting their personal Economic Situation because their Government is selling them out.
That’s when the Illegal Invaders aren’t here killing them that is.
WASHINGTONIANS RAUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oho Trump has a benefactor?
You don’t know any Wharton grads, I guess.
I’ve never been a fan of Trump. But with so many of the right people hating on Trump right now, one has to wonder.
Oh, yes. I heard this line on Bill (yes yes) Bennett this morning.
Steve Winn (sp?) was on groaning about Trump and Bernie Sanders going after people by selling them on their victimhood.
Buuhlechh!!
If you don’t think immigration, this out of control immigration, affects us, our sovereignty, our consciousness, our culture, future, don’t talk to me. You don’t pay any attention.
The flash of agreement, the sustained and growing support that Trump gets will get to you at one point.
Something out there frightens the pols. There’ll be Hell Toupee
Well, he inherited a large sum of money. He’s obviously made much more himself, but to call someone who inherited somewhere between $60 and 200 million “self made” is....a bit of a stretch.
Fred Trump, Donald’s Father, did very well in life but he never left or gave Donald anywhere near that kind of money.
I’m angry as hell about being forced to submit to PC and to genuflect to the cultural Marxists and their ceaseless propaganda campaign against America of “racist”, “sexist” and “homophobic”, so hell yeah I’m supporting Trump.
Democrats would piss their panties if Trump with his money ended up as the V.P. candidate.
He inherited his family’s business. He grew it from a two hundred million dollar business to a 9 billion dollar business.
If those figures are off, even if he’s exaggerating the 9 B twice, $200,000,000 is a percentage, a small percentage of 5,000,000,000.
Trump went to Wharton. He learned about making deals and investing money. If you don’t know anyone who is talented at that, fine, but it is a talent.
There is a faction of people, I’ve known some, not been friends with them, who hate people with money but in a bigoted way of hatred. It clouds their thinking. It comes from formation they were taught that having money necessarily goes along with fault of character.
Those people have an obsession with money much stronger than the people I have known who have money, a lot of money, or old money, or who work for it.
The most benevolent people come from both camps and there are stingy jealous greedy people with no money.
But Trump turned 200 mil into many billions. He did it, and not like michelle Obama did it, taking double digit million vacays twice a year on her husband’s 400 K salary, taking it from me.
Oh, I respect what Trump has done in business. I have absolutely zero interest in seeing him anywhere near the Oval Office, but I respect what he has done as a businessman. Great dealmaker, sure.
I just have a hard time calling someone with his background “self made.”
Goldberg’s article says nothing about Trump’s positions. He just repeated the empty utterances of other critics.
Also, I was disappointed in Firona’s comments about Trump, as she also said nothing about his positions.
That’s good.
As for the article by Jonah Goldberg, I expect no less from him. Bill Buckley left a really good magazine. It has since become nothing but a sniveling mouthpiece for the gop wing of the Uniparty.
I think someone who can get into the ring and change the entire national presidential election conversation and sustain it, and bring it forward on the merits of power level money, street smarts and tactics is rare.
Name anyone.
I see it as something he achieved. He took his father’s inheritance and grew it exponentially.
You put a price on that. If it’s $100 form a Cuban refugee to a son who makes it big in Law and State government or $200 mil to a son who makes it huge in real estate ventures the percentages are not even equal. Trump made more money.
Who made him, if he’s not self made?
But the real question is, why, on a conservative website forum such as this, does anyone come out and harass me for what I am thinking. I think he’s self made. You don’t.
what totalitarian idea gives you the right to bug the crap out of me for just saying he’s self made?
He is.
You don’t think he is.
Why do you have to try to back me down from my idea?
Come up with your own.
