Nationalism and Populism Propel Trump

As the returns came in from South Carolina Saturday night, showing Donald Trump winning a decisive victory, a note of nervous desperation crept into the commentary.

Political analysts pointed out repeatedly that if all of the v**es for Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Jeb Bush and Ben Carson were added up, they far exceeded the Trump v**e.

Why this sudden interest in arithmetic?

If the field can be winnowed, we were told, if Carson and Kasich can be persuaded to follow Bush and get out if Cruz can be sidelined, if we can get a one-on-one Rubio-Trump race, Trump can be stopped.

Behind the thought is the wish. Behind the wish is the hope, the prayer that all the non-Trump v**ers are anti-Trump v**ers.

But is this true? Or are the media deluding themselves?

Watching these anchors, commentators, consultants and pundits called to mind the Cleveland Governors Conference of 1964.

Sen. Goldwater had just won the winner-take-all California primary, defeating Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, assuring himself of enough delegates to go over the top on the first b****t at the Cow Palace in San Francisco.

But with polls showing Barry losing massively to LBJ, the panicked governors at Cleveland conspired to block his nomination.

Michigan Gov. George Romney and Pennsylvania Gov. Bill Scranton were prodded to enter the race. Scranton would declare his availability in San Francisco with a letter accusing Goldwater of hostility toward civil rights — Barry had v**ed against the 1964 bill — and of excessive tolerance toward right-wing extremists such as the John Birch Society.

And what became of them all?

Goldwater won his nomination and went down in a historic defeat, but became a beloved figure and the father of modern conservatism.

Of those who turned their backs on Goldwater that fall, none ever won a p**********l nomination. Of those who stood by Barry that fall, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan, both would win the GOP nomination twice, and the presidency twice.

And the conservative movement would hold veto power over party nominees and become the dominant philosophy of the GOP.

Folks forget. Not only were there “liberal Republicans” and “moderate Republicans” back then, they dominated the landscape. Yet rare is the Republican today who would describe himself in such terms.

Which brings us back to the anti-Trump cabal.

While their immediate goal is to deny him the nomination, do they really think that if the party nominates Rubio, things can be again as they were before Trump? Do they not see that America and the West are undergoing a series of crises that will change our world forever?

Bernie Sanders is not all wrong. There is a revolution going on....

He ain't there yet, but if he gets there, prepare yourself for a rude awakening.

A rude awakening for all the glassy eyed Trump Kool Aid drinkers? I think you are right.

Bernie Sanders is not all wrong. There is a revolution going on.
Late in the last century, when Robert Bartley was an editorial editor, The Wall Street Journal championed a constitutional amendment of five words — “There shall be open borders.”
Bartley, who told colleague Peter Brimelow, “I think the nation-state is finished,” wanted U.S. borders thrown open to people and goods from all over the world. To Bartley and his acolytes, what made America one nation and one people were simply an ideology.
But what was silly then is suicidal today.
Wh**ever one may think of Trump’s talk of building a wall, does anyone think the United States is not going to have to build a security fence to defend our bleeding 2,000-mile border?
Given the huge trade deficits with China, Japan, Mexico and the EU, the hemorrhaging of manufacturing, the stagnation of wages and the decline of the middle class, does anyone think that if Trump is turned back, the GOP can continue on being a free-trade party financed by the Beltway agents of t***snational corporations?...

Trump will rename everything to Trump. He'll executive order everything. It's gonna be a mess. And that's if he can even beat hillary. Trump has the highest negative poll ratings of any president ever.

Hey sick; get it right.
Trump isn't president yet; how can he have the "highest negative poll ratings of any president ever"?

Now; you been listening to the MSM's BS too much.

You are wrong Eagle-Man. Rubio and the Establishment cannot defeat Mr. Trump. Nor can Cruz or... Ooops, there is no one else. Trump wins in a landslide against Bengazi, surrounds himself with very capable people and delivers us from evil... AMEN..
