A lot of corporatists, the very same ones who decry Trump as a protectionist, are themselves the beneficiaries of the Uniparty/Corporatist's own form of protectionism in the form of tax loopholes, selective enforcement of regulations, loopholes for patent and trademark laws, and a monopolist/merger free for all.

America is suffering from fewer and fewer small business startups as taxes and regulations are designed, paid for, and written by, crony corporatist lobbyists to crush competition from cocky upstarts.

It's not a free market. It's a Soros owned casino, and hillary and mcconnell work the door. And so the uniparty is panicking because Trump knows casinos and he knows how the games inside are rigged and is telling everybody about it.

The test should be on how well someone knows the issues but the candidates should be tested first, no?

“And don’t even mention the clueless action of Senator McCain in 2008. The man actually suspended his campaign so that he could come back to Washington and help Bush and Paulson bail-out Wall Street; and to authorize the Fed to unleash a torrential spree of money printing that has virtually transformed Wall Street into a dangerous and unstable gambling casino.”

We all know casinos are rigged, so it’s good to have DT as president since he has experience in that area.

Trump is a great unknown. I think he regrets not running as a Bolshecrat, he could have run away with the nomination.

To paraphrase Nanzi Pelosi, we will have to elect him to see what we get.

Speaking as a long-time Trump opponent, I'm here to tell you that the diagnosis of our economy in this article is just about completely correct.

We are in a deep-deep hole created by two decades of debt, cheap money, and asset bubbles, most of which has benefited the professional money-movers more than anyone else.

And what it's going to take to get out of it is two or more decades of living within our means.

This means "blood, toil, tears, and sweat". It means austerity and pain for everyone.

And it's why Trump is not the man to do it.

Trump is promising an easy, quick fix where we can cut taxes, get rid of the national debt, increase the military, give everyone a higher paying job, not cut Social Security and Medicare, and there will be no pain for anyone other than the Mexicans, the Chinese, and a few bureaucrats - none of whom, mind you, are potential Trump voters.

Trump's promises make "free Obamaphones for all" look like a penny-ante game, and are achievable only in fantasyland.

“/..he sure as hell has opened the eyes of millions by forgetting the politically correct garbage and telling it like it is. ...”

And those millions have responded.

Thousands, up to ten thousand, have gone to his rallies, with thousands more listening and watching on the internet.

Millions, 2 point something million have voted for him.

(I will be among those millions; I will write him in if I have to.)

Best argument of which I can think for supporting him.

The New York billionaire dismissed concern that his comments — which are exceedingly unusual, if not unprecedented, for a major party front-runner — could potentially affect financial markets. >>>>. if the markets are in great shape how could some outside presidential candidate affect them?

Odd, the link title says “unfavorable”

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/04/despite-media-smear-trump-unfavorable-rating-rivals-reagans-1980/

But the title of the article itself says “favorable”
