Trump in August 2013: The people I resonate best with, my base, are poor people and blue collar people, working class people
Here, with Greta Van Susteren during one of Obama's sumptuous, too long vacations in August 2013.
Trump is winning today because he has long understood who is his base, what to say to it, and how to keep it.
The histrionic invectives against Trump by elites in the political parties, government, the media, entertainment, the academy and the church are really invectives against the people who still work, who make this country work.
If elites want to stop Trump, the only way they can do it is to co-opt the support of the working class, and unfortunately for the elites, they've erected an entire system over decades designed explicitly to screw the working class.
The chickens . . . have come home . . . to roost.

Marco Rubio's new instructions to his robot army
In Marco Rubio's bubble world he only imagines that he unmasked Donald Trump in the Houston debate Thursday night. Just because he says so, it must be true.
Here:
I said it last night, if he had not inherited $200 million, right now he would be selling watches in Times Square or doing a Saturday morning infomercial where he teaches you how to flip properties. So we unmasked him last night. It's time for you to unmask him as well. You all have friends, you all have friends thinking about voting for Donald Trump. Friends do not let friends vote for con artists.
So repeat after me Rubio Robot Army:
"Donald Trump inherited $200 million".
"Donald Trump inherited $200 million".
"Donald Trump inherited $200 million".
"Donald Trump inherited $200 million".
"Donald Trump inherited $200 million".
"Donald Trump inherited $200 million".
"Donald Trump inherited $200 million".
"Donald . . .
John O'Sullivan: Rubio is the poster boy for the liberal immigration policies which Trump launched his campaign to oppose
Green card holder John O'Sullivan at National Review prefers Trump to the ever mendacious Marco Rubio, here:
[N]one of the three leading Republicans have been exactly models of truth-telling in this campaign. So the relevant question then becomes “Compared with whom?” Let’s compare Trump’s boastful and evasive untruths with the very different lies of Marco Rubio on various immigration bills he has tried to sell to conservatives (as detailed by John Fonte on NRO on Wednesday.) These amounted to a long campaign of deliberate mendacity intended to deceive allies on a matter of the greatest public interest so that they would unknowingly support what they really oppose.
O'Sullivan correctly acknowledges that Trump's is a non-ideological conservatism which is widely shared among Americans:
Conservatives in practice accept that their realism about human nature shouldn’t (or can’t) stop at the door of the voting booth. What there is of Trump’s conservatism seems to be of that kind. And that seems also to be true of “ordinary” conservatives outside Washington, as several writers such as Rod Dreher have pointed out. They tend not to have highly consistent ideologies but to tolerate contradictions within a broadly conservative outlook. One very likely effect of a GOP conservatism influenced by Trumpery, therefore, is that it will remain conservative but in a less consistently ideological way. It is likely to be more spasmodically interventionist in economic policy, more concerned with directly protecting the interests of Americans (and especially the voting groups who have surged up to back Trump), more anxious about how to solve the problems identified by Charles Murray in Fishtown without spending too much more on them, more protective of entitlements, and more loudly patriotic in general. As a fully paid-up Thatcherite, I will find a lot of this irksome and mistaken. It will remind me of the pre-Thatcher Tory party and its bumbling resistance to economic rationality. And I’m beginning to feel grouchily that I want to hear a little less about American exceptionalism until the U.S. manages not to lose a war.
Gov. Chris Christie's endorsement of Donald Trump pisses off fake conservative Jennifer Rubin, impresses Newt Gingrich
From the story here:
The decision drew a sharply worded critique from Washington Post conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin, who quickly penned a rebuke of “Christie’s despicable endorsement.”
Other GOP figures described the endorsement as a big move coming ahead of Super Tuesday next week, when Trump seems poised to increase his delegate lead.
“This is a huge step for Trump and will impact Super Tuesday [big] time,” 2012 presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said on Twitter.
“This Chris Christie endorsement of Trump is real signal to GOP establishment that they had better begin thinking about Trump as the future.”
For a two-faced lying phony, you can't beat badly aging Michael Medved and his smear job of Trump
From the story here:
In 2012, Medved called Sen. Harry Reid a scumbag the worst man in politics for using Romney's tax returns as an attack on the candidate. Medved said Reid was using the tax return attack as a "distraction" from President Obama's failed administration.
"This attempt to smear and distract, and what is this all about?" Medved rhetorically asked.

Ted Cruz is still for legalizing illegals as non-citizens
In other words, make them the equivalent of Metics.
Chutzpah: Trump one ups Carson's answer for IRS tax audits
Ben Carson implied in the Republican debate last night that he was politically targeted for an IRS audit after speaking out publicly against Obamacare.
Donald Trump seemed to like the answer so much he decided to go for it for himself.
In remarks made to Chris Cuomo on CNN immediately after the debate, Trump blamed his long history of tax audits on the fact that he was being targeted for being a Christian.
Yeah, like the whole world thinks that's the reason.

Elites in both parties are so over the top against Trump because if he gets into the White House . . .
. . . he's likely to acquire information he'll get access to which proves their self-serving betrayal of their country. Information is power. Don't forget Filegate.
Can't wait.
P.O.S. Mitt Romney does a Dirty Harry Reid on Donald Trump . . .
. . . says there may be something hiding in Trump's tax returns.
Must be payback for eventually saying Romney was a lousy candidate even though at the time Trump supported Romney and even defended him against Reid.
Story here.
Marco Rubio, the very intelligent imbecile: "You don't win the nomination by how many states you win"
No, obviously you win the nomination by losing all the states!
You Republicans who are promoting this moron better find a new candidate because this one is umbday in any language.

John McCain's writer Mark Salter says don't vote for Trump even if that means Hillary becomes president
Here:
Trump is not trying to make great America great. He’s trying to make us the worst we can be to satisfy his own vainglory. There’s no dealing with him, no trying to encourage him to behave like a grown-up, much less a statesman. If you can see him plainly and you love our country, you must vote against him. Even if that means electing Hillary Clinton.
P.O.S.
