Agree on both counts. Titles are usually not written by the author and are used as an attention grabber.
Sounds good. I’ll read it later
Yes I agree. And why I said in the ‘ballpark’; thinking some what along the same lines and using the same headline “Traitor to His Class” - betraying the “movers and shakers” but the articles very much differ from one another.
The New York Times article in their sneering way want the Repub “elite” to somehow and expect them to take Trump out.
A brilliant piece. Straight up and right on. I used the cool email feature to contact the writer, and asked him to send a copy fast, to McConnell, Boehner, McCarthy, Donner and Blitzen.
No one on this thread read it, did they? LOL! Pathetic.
“Virtu, as opposed to the Christian virtues, includes pride, bravery, civic humanism, strength and an amount of ruthlessness.”
Exactly. I believe the writer has significant understanding.
I think you need to actually read the article through. It was brilliant and PRO Trump like none other.
Ping to 25
Look again. A few of us did look past the headline, including yours truly. :)
Best explanation I have seen yet.
On most articles you can skip the first few comments because its joke-sters responding to the title and trying to be clever. Its a common dynamic on most chat/discussion forums.
Not a bad article, but I think it misses on some level.
I like Donald Trump, because he knows exactly where he stands with the press and treats the press according to the way the press treats him.
Ask Trump a stupid question? Trump blows you out of the water.
Try to butt in and talk over other people because “you’re somebody?” You get shown the door.
Donald Trump has tapped into the collective fury someone like myself has with the likes of John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.
For me, Donald Trump is a massive thumb in the eye to the GOPe as represented by Boehner and Mcconnell.
I disagree with some of Trump’s positions, but, if, for some reason, Trump is elected, there’s a chance a few policies I agree with will actually be put in place.
I cannot say the same about McConnell and Boehner.
Read the article, it doesn't mean what you think it means.
Donald is a traitor to his class, and it is to Americas good fortune.
That is not something I have really felt confident in for a while.
Trumps popular because hes imitating Ted Cruz....
Ted Cruz is popular because he’s imitating NO ONE..
I say this through gritted teeth and my nose pinched. In his own way he’s channeling Reagan. He’s unapologetically pushing a nationalistic view of America. For that I’m cheering him even if I disagree with many of his policies. Would that other candidates knew how to project this.
It’s Weakly Standard butt wipe.

I read just the excerpt.
Substitute Obama for Trump there and the writer nails it.
The writer obviously has no understanding of real Americans.
