| Conrad Black: Don't underestimate Donald |
| 2016-03-07 |
| h/t Instapundit ...And then it turned into a nation of idiots, incapable of doing anything except conduct military operations against primitive countries. The objective performance of the latter Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama administrations, and the Gingrich, Reid-Pelosi, and Boehner-led congresses, and most of the courts, have for these 25 years been shameful and as unprecedented in American history as the swift rise of America was in the history of the world. The people turned out rascals and got worse rascals. ...What is called for now is a clean and decisive break from the personalities and techniques of the recent past. Donald Trump doesn't remind anyone of the presidents just mentioned, but he elicited a surge of public support by a novel, almost Vaudeville, routine as an educated billionaire denouncing the political leadership of the country in Archie Bunker blue-collar terms. ...All the other candidates in both parties were vieux jeu, passe. Only a few of the governors (Bush, Christie, and Kasich) had run anything successfully, none of them had built anything, and all were up to their eyeballs in the sleazy American political system -- long reduced to a garish and corrupt log-rolling game of spin-artists, lobbyists, and influence-peddlers. Bernie Sanders gets a pass, but he is an undischarged Marxist, and while many of his attacks on the incumbent system and personnel have merit, his policy prescriptions are unacceptable to 90 per cent of Americans. ...On Tuesday night, Cruz ran strongly in his home state of Texas but his support is now confined exclusively to Bible-thumping, M16-toting corn-cobbers and woolhats, and he has no traction outside the southwest and perhaps Alaska. The orthodox Republican candidate, Marco Rubio, is now a Chiclet-smiled, motor-mouth loser, having first been exposed as such by Chris Christie (the New Jersey governor who could have won the nomination and election four years ago and is now running for the vice-presidential nomination with Trump). Rubio should bite the dust in Florida next week. On Super Tuesday evening Donald Trump made the turn from rabble-rouser to nominee-presumptive. The only early campaign excess he has to walk back is the nonsense that all the 11 million illegal migrants will be removed, and then many will be readmitted. Of course the selection process must occur before they are evicted, not after. I believe he meant "readmitted when hell freezes over" |

| #10 his support is now confined exclusively to Bible-thumping, M16-toting corn-cobbers and woolhats, My that's quite the foul-mouthed hate fest from the bigot. Canada like that kind of thing? Yes, in fact they do. I remember 45 years ago when I was living in Canada as a child and my friend who invited me to stand with the girl guides to see the queen, her mom couldn't say anything nice, only how Princess Anne resembled a horse. They're actually kind of nasty. And they hate Americans, even way back then. |

| #5 his support is now confined exclusively to Bible-thumping, M16-toting corn-cobbers and woolhats, My. My. Learn that sort of language in prison? Could someone help me with woolhats? I tried to look it up, but ended with a number of clothing sales and pictures of effeminate men in metro hats, which I am sure is not the intended meaning. |
