Well, no. If that’s what we need, it’s not him. Like a lot of wealthy people Donald Trump lives above those cultural conflicts. He’s not above making comments about political correctness, but he’s no culture warrior. Trump’s success at the polls has as much to do with a deeper weariness with culture wars as it does with a surface reaction against political correctness. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing — or a good thing — but I think Mytheos is deceiving himself and taking Donald Trump for something he isn’t and never claimed to be.

Trump may not win New York, but he'll seriously put it in play.

For the first time since Reagan, it will have to be defended by the rats with a LOT of money.

He also has the outside chance of winning, because he's the only candidate that will ridicule Hillary to within an inch of her political life.

If New Yorkers watch and listen, they may realize what a fraud she is.

Either way, he's going to cause quite a stir there.

He may take Michigan, he may take Pennsylvania, he may take a couple of other traditionally blue states, or at least put them in play.

That's all good, and no one else could get even close.

I want to point out that Trump came in third last night in NY. Behind Sanders.

All that puffery that Trump could bring new people to the polls and put even democrat NY into play in the general election is just pure BS.>>>> good point but you had to register as a “republican” not in the “conservative” party republican to vote in the primary by october 9, 2015 (six months ago). even a lot of bernie supporters didn’t make it. here in PA i was all set to vote for bernie in my own continuation of operation chaos. but i switched back on the last day. March 25.

An excellent article that based on the comments here seems to have fallen on deaf ears. The right has no chance if it doesn’t defeat PC; eventually conservatism itself will be deemed hate speech and banned from the public square. Trump is only GOP candidate who’s even battling within this arena.>>>> you are correct already anything you say with a conservative view is hate speech, Christianity is hate speech. Look at the reaction to Trump on the muslim immigration truth. Then he started the snake poem and it makes me smile just thinking about it.

Trump will rip her head off, and hand it to her on the stage.

Donald Trump supports Planned Parenthood and today attacked the Republican platform on abortion. He also gave the left a gift win his leftist conman impersonation of their delusions of pro-life positions, by saying that women should be prosecuted.

Donald Trump blamed Pamela Gellar for the Islamist attemped assassination in Texas.
Donald Trump has never once spoken of religious liberty.
Donald Trump today come out in support of Trannies in the bathroom.

Donald Trump is a PC thug taking you rubes for a ride, while destroying the Conservative movement.
