Throughout the Republican primaries, pundits and pollsters repeatedly told us he’d peaked, that his most recent outrageous statement was his downfall, that he was viewed as so unlikeable he didn’t stand a chance of getting the nomination.
But in my travels around the country I’ve found many who support him precisely because of the qualities he’s being criticized for having.
A Latina-American from Laredo, Texas, tells me she and most of her friends are for Trump because he wants to keep Mexicans out. She thinks too many Mexicans have come here illegally, making it harder for those here legally.
A union member from Pittsburgh says he’s for Trump because he’ll be tough on American companies shipping jobs abroad, tough with the Chinese, tough with Muslims.
A small businessman in Cincinnati tells me he’s for Trump because “Trump’s not a politician. He’ll give them hell in Washington.”
Political analysts have underestimated Trump from the jump because they’ve been looking through the rear-view mirror of politics as it used to be.
Trump’s rise suggests a new kind of politics. You might call it anti-politics.
The old politics pitted right against left, with presidential aspirants moving toward the center once they cinched the nomination.
Anti-politics pits Washington insiders, corporate executives, bankers, and media moguls against a growing number of people who think the game is rigged against them. There’s no center, only hostility and suspicion.

With those lungs, I’m betting she can hold her breath for a long time.
Great Cap !! Love it.
I like your Trumpian positivity BUT - it would have to be there. Not here.
Remember Brandi Brandt? She walked into the shoe store when Steve was visiting. Al recognised her in a heartbeat from the Playboys his dad had stowed behind the furnace. 'Heart shaped birthmark on left buttock. Favourite movie, The Big Bus.' Just the thought of her prompted Al to make love to Peggy. Steve was so intoxicated he pinned her centerfold above the marital bed. But the happy times came to a tragic end when Brandi was convicted of importing Bolivian marching powder - to Australia :

| Yes, Guenevere, way too many snide remarks amid faint praise in this hit piece. The premise Reich tries to sneak past us is that Trump is winning because he's "anti-politics". Did it ever occurred to Reich that Trump represents real politics, politics from We the People, responsive and caring for the working class people who make America possible. Mr. Reich, politics should not be focused on making job-exporters rich or ensuring transvestites get to use the ladies' bathroom. In fact, Trump is true to the name of the magazine publishing your story -- Real Clear Politics. Trump is also about honest politics, and in-your-face politics, and exposure-of-political-murders politics! Mr. Reich, the more you troll a great man like Trump and prop up the evil and incompetent Clintons, the smaller you become.

This statement suggests to me, that Mexicans are somewhat more intelligent than American citizens. Especially those Americans of the Liberal variety.
Byron, you hijacked the thread.....Behave yourself! ; > )
Thanks, I needed that. It’s after midnight here!
She’s got HUGE . . . tracts of land!
Two very good reasons.to vot.....Aw hell who am I kidding!!!
The backtracking begins. “Trump might win,” Miguelito?
“She thinks too many Mexicans have come here illegally, making it harder for those here legally”
That is the line that Trump should use.
“Before this came months of news coverage of his bigotry, megalomania, narcissism, xenophobia, refusals to condemn violence at his rallies, refusals to distance himself from white supremacists, and more lies.”
Uh huh....hey Bob, you and Paul Begala are the 2 biggest LIARS in the USA. You even lied about being a professor at Harvard, on your resume, until Harvard threatened to sue you for fraud. Bite me, Reich !
Wow. If a liberal inside his own incestuous swimming pool is Hearing Pro Trump stuff it must be pretty bad
A built in flotation device.
Reich is always a cartoon and a mule of the Left. You can saddle him with anything Clintoon and he will carry it all the way to the border.
Thank you very much for the ping, Stephen.
