Yes, Trump's presidential campaign is a racist clownshow. And no, polls from July 2015 don't say very much about who will be president... But there's more to Trump's burgeoning popularity than immigrant-bashing alone. He's running as a full-blown plutocrat populist, and populism is, well, popular -- especially after a grinding recession. That should be concerning to his 2016 opponents, since the platform Trump has outlined on the trail has a long and successful history in American politics.
"All I want to do is make us rich, save your Social Security, [and] stop having everyone rip us off!" Trump said to cheers...

Even when Trump makes the standard politician's plea to rise above petty politics, he's channelling nationalism rather than a centrist call for bipartisanship.

Smart Democratic strategists have long worried that a savvy Republican would tap into voter outrage over the 2008 bank bailouts and take back the populist mantle. They probably didn't expect to see it from a real estate billionaire, but history has shown Trump's policy brew can be politically potent. Democrats were essentially invincible from 1932 to 1964, when they pushed hardline populist economic policies, tough-guy nationalist foreign policy...
But the voters who jumped to the Republican Party have always had a somewhat uneasy relationship with GOP's bankers-and-brokers-first economic agenda, and Trump has a real opportunity to pick up votes that his opponents won't seek out for fear of alienating their billionaire backers.
Trump is essentially a Democrat from the 1950s, wrapped in the persona of a Republican from the 1920s. Even if he's just trying to sell some books, that'll do the trick.

Bipartisanship: Both parties ripping you off equally.................
What, no Hitler bombs?
Shame.
Exactly.
And in the fevered minds over at HuffPo — fighting the invasion of illegal aliens is somehow “racist.”
Even if you think he’s crazy as a loon...he shoots from the hip. “I’m going to say what I want when I want to...!” It drives the media and all other politicians nuts!
Notice how patriotism is now nationalism - sorta like Nazism?
For all his failings, he’s a patriotic American. As someone who has watched him for 40 years, I can tell you that he is patriotic and he cares very much about crime. In NYC, he was always reacting to vile acts - the Central Park Jogger case being one - and denouncing it.
Has anybody seen his graduation photo from a military academy? The New York Daily News had it as a cover - using it as a condemnation - but I thought it showed a little cadet full of vim, vigor and good looks. I wish he still looked like that photo.
Can someone please post it?
Trump played him like a Stradivarius.
The story is being told by s**tbag liars, who took a few weeks to come up with an article manifesting this level of brilliancy. Hardly impressive. Oh, and they lest out “racist”, at least from the first 2 sentences I bothered to read. YMMV.
This from their Entertainment section?
That is exactly what we need right now
HuffPo: “All entertainment news all the time!”
LOL!
Okay, so did the DNC develop this or did the RNC/GOPe?
He actually destroyed it? Wow.
Senior political economic reporter, yesterday too!
Everyday the evidence mounts that teaches: we can no longer co-exist alongside the Leftists in this nation.
We are in a ‘cold war’ with the coup that has taken over the country - and it’s about to get hot. The Left has laid the groundwork and foundations for a genocide of those of us they continue to demonize as morally evil and a danger to the state.
The fact is that it is they who are a danger to our very existence as a people and a Republic which they have done away with via stealth and subterfuge.
Co-existing is no longer an option if you want to remain free and alive.
I think they might have thrown good policy out with the dixiecrat bathwater.
Typically, immature, goofy, effeminate know-it-all brainwashee who engage in the same o, same o, “racist” “sexist” “homophobe” etc nonsense. A “hey lookit me, I’m a SENIOR ‘reporter’” chest thumper who wouldn’t live in a minority ‘hood if you paid him.
As Erick Erickson said at Red State:
“This thirty-one year old is the Huffington Post’s senior political economy reporter having left college in 2005 and gone to work as “a banking reporter at SNL Financial, which is a little data and financial journalism spot in Charlottesville, Virginia.”
I realize the internet changes things. And I realize I am not even forty. But I sure wish “senior” reporters had some more real-world experience before entering the safe confines of their liberal bubble. What the hell is a “political economy” reporter anyway?”
Where does Salon and Slate and HuffPo find these little weasels anyway? At the unemployment office? Bathhouses?
Yeah, he must not know that you can just change your Phone Number.
He destroys a perfectly good Phone for show. I wonder if he Personally bought the Phone or it was provided by the Taxpayers?
What a Goober.
