Huh?
Can’t help but compare Trump’s successes and background to Hussein’s, who couldn’t run a Dairy Queen franchise.
I’d love to see Trump at a negotiating table with a few undesirable countries. HE probably would not sell us down the river. Of course, he’s not a Muslim, either.
More flack. Good. Still over target.
Obama couldn't even serve the sundaes.
A typical example of awkward youthful libertarianism. He’s just all mixed up and drawing silly conclusions.
Yet the author accuses Trump of using racism and of scapegoating immigrant groups? How does the author think someone should talk about the illegal problem or isn't it a problem to the author?
Yes, I read the whole thing.
Brevity is the soul of wit and Jeffery Tucker is witless...
What do we have now?
I like Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin but neither can win...
I have been “retired” for a long time and meet up with guys and gals that are retired or recently retired. I have a great retirement job.
Recently I worked with a guy that was planning his retirement in detail months before it occurred. He faced the prospect of nothing to do and was furiously digging around to remedy that prospect. It was comical and tragic. He had no clue about reality. He was trying too hard.
There are others less motivated that do little or nothing and bum around. They frequently just die
Trump is an active man, engaged in all sorts of endeavors and yet he is facing retirement and is looking for something to do. All his business life he has been somewhat constrained to a narrow path to please his business associates and bankers and such
When retired, with all the money he needs, he can cast off those restraints in retirement and do something completely different, what he wants to, make a difference as an American. He can retire, do that which he could not, endeavor to rid the country of that perceived as harmful. He can have as his retirement job, saving the country from the present tyranny.
Some accuse him of flying false colors, acting Republican when he is a Democrat. It is possible that just the opposite is occurring. He has been acting as a Democrat as a business necissity in a Democrat city and state with liberal Jews as both colleagues and customers. In retirement he can cast off that facade and be himself. That is precisely what he is boisterously doing.
It is not an act....... the act was his life pre retirement
Well, I can believe it because I am over the retirement fence looking back
Considering how far this country has lurched to the left, having someone with the will to unapologetically turning it back to its roots would not be a bad thing and may be just what we need at this moment.
A right winger without strong convictions and will would not get the job done. The people on my list are Cruz, Trump and Walker. The rest are either RINOS or simply don’t have what it takes to withstand the vicious assaults from the leftist media, Hollywood, education establishment and bureaucracy that would undoubtedly come.
True. But the “I just heard Trump speak at the Freedom....” was last weekend. So it took him a while to cobble that screed together.
I picked up on the fact that you like Cruz. I myself have rooted for Cruz, here on FR. But my one reservation was whether the smooth, erudite Cruz has the chops to stand up to the ruthless entrenched cartel of the uniparty.
Then Trump announced, and after a few weeks of watching and listening to him I’m convinced that Trump DOES have the chops for the job. And that doesn’t really take anything away from Cruz. In normal times, and in a campaign in the ‘50s, when candidates and parties were still somewhat honest and honorable and pro-American, Trump would be an ideal candidate.
But these aren’t normal times. Neither party gives a d@mn about the true survival of America. If they did, we wouldn’t have hoardes of aliens pouring across an open border, or alien criminals given carte blanche to break our laws, murder our citizens and in too many cases, jump on the welfare benefits wagon and live off the taxpayers. We wouldn’t have manufacturers given INCENTIVES to take their jobs to other countries and then bring their finished products back without any tax, tarrif or other benefit to the Country or our unemployed citizens. Nor would we be running an $18 Trillion deficit, soon to be $20 or $21 Trillion. The list is endless.
No, desperate times call for desperate measures. We MUST go with our big gun, Trump right now. Another 8 years of a Hillary or a Jebbie will finish us off as a viable, $olvent Nation. After 8 years of Trump undoing a lot of the damage the left of both parties has done; that will be the time for a Cruz or a Walker or a Palin to run for POTUS and extend the dynasty another 8 years. IMHO.
Trump/Cruz 2016.
That sounds plausible to me.
When it comes to Trump I mostly go with my gut. I see people say he’s faking it but that’s not my read on him. I think this is the real Trump. That said, I seriously doubt he’s got a well thought out political philosophy like Cruz does. But I do think we are seeing his true instincts here.
Yes, bizarre at times...but very on the nose sensible at times too...
You have to get through some faux elitist thinking first, but eventually he really did nail Trump with the few paragraphs on Trump’s idea that America is one entity, one company, and that he’s going to be CEO of America and make sure we “win” - against the single entities of China, India, OPEC, etc.
I should'a put in the word "most" in the sentence about "mealy mouthed" politicians. He certainly is the exception to the psycho-babble we are getting from the rest of the Republican wanna-be's!
He speaks of the United States as if it were one thing, one single firm. A business. “We” are in competition with “them,” as if the U.S. were IBM competing against Samsung, Apple, or Dell. “We” are not 300 million people pursuing unique dreams and ideas, with special tastes or interests, cooperating with people around the world to build prosperity. “We” are doing one thing, and that is being part of one business.
In effect, he believes that he is running to be the CEO of the country — not just of the government (as Ross Perot once believed) but of the entire country. In this capacity, he believes that he will make deals with other countries that cause the U.S. to come out on top, whatever that could mean. He conjures up visions of himself or one of his associates sitting across the table from some Indian or Chinese leader and making wild demands that they will buy such and such amount of product else “we” won’t buy their product.
. ...to him, America is a homogenous unit, no different from his own business enterprise. With his run for president, he is really making a takeover bid, not just for another company to own but for an entire country to manage from the top down, under his proven and brilliant record of business negotiation, acquisition, and management.
All of this is true. Then again, you seem to look at America as one entity, and not 300 million people with individual goals, dreams, aspirations, etc, too. It's a foolish naive view.
Gee an America first policy is naive to you. Well that statement makes you another boring gloBULList.
Jeffrey Tucker is just tooooo full of himself. Try to get some overnight relief, Jeffrey.

I would like to see if the author could deconstruct Hillary. I doubt it.
I believe you mean Cruz would be an ideal candidate in normal times.
