NO POLITICAL LEADER since Ronald Reagan has created the excitement and buzz that Donald Trump has. He is the first politician since that late, great president to go over the heads of the media and elite ruling class and speak directly to the American people.
He is concerned that our country is no longer a country, and that America has sold out its sovereignty to a nondemocratic internationalist order, at the expense of the American worker and of American jobs. He has been criticized by opponents for not having elaborate position papers down to the last detail.
Trump, unlike the robotic and dull Mitt Romney, gives no slick PowerPoint presentations. Trump merely says, We are getting killed. And the people know exactly what he is talking about.
Trump is an exciting political presence, responsible for drawing new people into the political process. The American people today are frustrated. They feel our whole political process is unresponsive. They continually vote for political reform, sending people to Washington hoping they will do something, and are then betrayed as the newly elected representatives become a saccharine travesty of the reform they clamored for.
What makes a country a country is its sovereignty. A country that has no borders, and whose independence is restricted by internationalist agreements, is no longer a sovereign nation. The Democrats and, sadly, some Republicans (House Speaker Ryan) would allow noncitizens the right to vote, provide free college tuition for them, and would provide welfare benefits while letting more of them stream over our unprotected borders.
It must be reiterated that Trump is not against immigration. He advocates legal immigration. His mother was an immigrant, a Gaelic speaker from the isle of Lewis, off Scotland. Trump believes the process must be legal, as it was for the millions of those who came to Americas shores over the past two centuries seeking the American dream of economic betterment, peace, and prosperity. Trumps popularity is perplexing to the establishment. But it is readily understood by the majority of Americans.
Trump speaks for the average American worker. He wants prosperity at home and peace abroad. His conservatism is not a dogma. Trump seeks to conserve our best values at home, and not go abroad promoting monolithic internationalism a monster of many tentacles, as John Quincy Adams warned.
Trump is not a conservative as defined by George F. Will on one of his Weekly Standard cruises. Will, a former Democrat, is in reality no conservative, but is actually a 19th-century liberal ideologue, of the Manchester school of economics. Trumps thinking is more akin to the nationalism expressed by Theodore Roosevelt, who believed the government should intervene in the economy to protect all Americans, under what he called the Square Deal.
I believe Trump has been under political assault by the media and establishment because he is beholden to no one. Trump runs his own operation from the fifth floor of Trump Tower, in a kind of unfinished storage area. It is not from the plush surroundings of marble and gold featured in The Apprentice. Yet from here, with his small group of campaign staff, he has let forth a cry to Washington insiders and the corrupt political establishment: Youre fired! It is a cry like a voice from Mount Olympus that echoes in the hearts of the American people and will put him in the White House by a landslide.

“[the American people] feel our whole political process is...”
Sigh. How to know this is a liberal publication
No. The American people realize the whole political process is...”
We think it is... We know it is...
Corrupt.
Mass is full of asses .
...a cloud the size of a man’s hand.
If it was as bad (and obvious) as you say, then Trump should be able to make mincemeat out of it.
Remember all of the hysterical pants-wetting that followed his decision to disallow WaPo reporters from his events? Following that up with taking similar action against CBS would be masterful.
Tweeted first sentence and the link to Levin.
Neo Europa responds to the piece with disdain.
A governor of Alabama I believe, called them pointy headed intellectuals
This is the main reason Donald should win:
Breitbart (h/t Emma) Last year, Obama directed his administration to accept at least 10,000 Syrian refugees over the course of this fiscal year (but has since raised it to 100,000). However, Clinton said that Obamas plan did not go nearly far enough Clinton called for a 500% increase to Obamas refugee resettlement operation.
Everyone should be aware of Hillary’s plan to flood the U.S with Muslims. Elect her and we are done for.

I wondered how this one got past the editors.
“He is the first politician since that late, great president to go over the heads of the media and elite ruling class and speak directly to the American people.”
He sure does, and by extension, Pence will have the same effect. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton seems to speak directly to the space between her ears.
Mike Pence went over the heads of the media to connect with the people when his family visited NYC...and he took them to Chili's!
America is going to love the Pences.
See the average mouthbreathing idiot reads this and it sounds reasonable, when it's actually regurgitated tripe full of cliché and code words. "Solve problems" to the average Boston moron means another 5000 pages of some Federal regulation and Sam Walton's kids paying for it. Then when it doesn't work, the drones in some liberal hellhole like Boston want then say it was because #1 they need another 5000 pages or Sam Walton's kids to pay more of their "Fair share". To the average Southie communist dolt it wasn't that the meddling in the first place was the cause to need some politician to try and "solve problems". Notice you hear very little form Boston about the bombings anymore, doesn't fit the liberal narrative...pressure cooker bomb done by ISIS wannabe hipsters.
Why Boston is a second rate town and has been since the mid 1800's. I hate visiting there. Rude people, bad drivers, middling restaurants and crappy weather.
Second rate indeed. It is a dump. The traffic is horrible, the roads forever in disrepair. Political corruption is beyond prevalent and the obligations imposed upon the citizens are completely unsustainable. It will crash.
I hate it here, but I can't leave, because I have family and promises to keep.
I am also an extremely aggressive driver, but mostly a nice guy..
That perp grifter would run on anything, say anything. She has no principles or values, just the drive and greed for more power.
Her campaign strategy is win, at all costs, do and say anything towards that one goal.
In the esrly 80’s When I lived in Fresh Pond. I Saw a news report about Boston’s “Demon Drivers” LOL and this was before road rage had become common.
I can’t believe that the WORTHLESS Boston Globe has an article like this!!!!
What will Goofy Elizabeth Warren (D, MA) say?
I would LOVE—some day in 2017—to see a video of President Trump dismissing Victoria Nuland:
“Noodlehead, YOU”RE FIRED!!!!”
