It’s worse than the Obamabots. The Obots are following a liberal democRAT who admits he is a democRAT. These people have been duped into believing this lifelong liberal is suddenly now conservative and he is going to save us from the liberals. How crazy is that?

He says a few things these people want to hear and he's apparently supposed to be this country's savior

People forget that blunt "talk" can be just as deceitful as the mealy mouth political speak that we're used to seeing.

Tough talk is no more than that. Tough Talk. I care about tough action. Cruz and Walker delivered there. Trump has delivered the other way with his past Hillary donations.

bizarre, meandering, and egomaniacal delivery

The text on his teleprompter was blurry?

“And Donald, what the hell have you done outside of running your trap now that you are running for president?”

Well, he has obviously been running his business fairly successfully, and as for running his mouth, that is the only thing a candidate for the presidency can do.

Read the title of the post. Is it possible that people want to hear Trump's message because that is what they believe too???

Trump is a populist and has his ear tuned to the national feedback. The general population finds that they agree with Trump's stance on illegal immigration despite years of "right think" propoganda from politicians and the LSM. Also there are many "blue dog dims" who find they agree with Trump which may create a significant crossover vote, just like in Ronald Reagan's case.

His success is starting to mirror Ronald Reagan's. The pundits wrote Reagan off because he wasn't part of the inner circle of career politicians. They are doing the same to Trump.

Am I equating Trump's politics to Ronald Reagans? Certainly not, but I am comparing the process of their rise in the political world.

>> What’s Cruz polling? 3-4 percent. Ground swell of support! That may not get him in the first debate <<

If Trump keeps it up, Cruz and Walker (among others) may get “squeezed” out of the picture. Then the primary race may get down to JEB vs. The Donald. If that eventuality comes about, I’d wager that JEB is 99% certain to be the GOP nominee.

>> I view Trump as a snowplow <<

If I may expand on your imagery, I’d call him “a Trojan Horse disguised as a snow plow.”

The headline says it all. Trump is not going to be the nominee but he is kicking the crap out of the low rent phonies people like Fund want to see in the White House.
I guess Fund would rather Trump tell people we should surrender to Mexico having that horse face Frenchy negotiate the deal.

EDIT TO ADD: Maybe that’s the plan of the Democrats ... pile one outrage after another until decent people simply give up and say .. it’s not worth it anymore.

It's especially bad when the Republicans you just elected stand by and watch the Dems turn the country into Obama's empire.

There is so much dirt on this buffoon that the NYT, Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal have all no doubt prepared devastating stories they can publish.

It wont matter. The media have no credibility.

>> he has obviously been running his business fairly successfully <<

With how much real estate inherited from his daddy?

With how many bankruptcies?

With how many donations to local politicians who jigger zoning codes in his favor?

With how much help from NBC scriptwriters on his "reality' TV shows?

But then, all in all, I gotta give you credit for using the adverb "fairly." You made a reasonably prudent choice.

Disappointing to see John Fund join the yelping hyenas and their feeding frenzy.

His estimated inheritance from his father is estimated between 40 - 200 million. Bankruptcies (4) were business strategies allowed by law. He gave political donations about equally; some say more to Republicans. The tv show did not build his wealth.

"No, he tells them what they SEE."

EXCELLENT point.
