Admit it. Donald Trump is a volcano in a forest
of Ronson lighters. You’re not going to
stop him. He may carry all 50 states.
The awareness of Trump’s invincibility is
dawning slowly for several reasons. Nobody wants to be revealed as a fool if
Trump flames out. Also, such a
breathtaking prediction hates to be borne all alone. “Out on a limb” is a
lonely place for a pundit to be. Then, too, a lot of heretofore wise observers
are obeying the instinct to adopt a “business as usual” stance. We put
subconscious pressure on ourselves so that yesterday’s “clown-by-consensus”
isn’t too abruptly hailed as the winner this absurdly long before the first
vote is cast. The dreamers in the GOP are still reassuring one another that
Trump’s domination is a “summertime thing,” and that come fall the public anger
will be gone and the people will ask themselves, “Is this the kind of person we
want in the Oval Office?” Dream on, Dear Establishment. People are already
asking that question, and the answer is not just “Yes”; it’s “Hell, Yes!”
Eight years ago
Americans decided to take a chance on a “community organizer” without one
single discernable accomplishment, not even authorship of his own book! (Thank
you, Jack
Cashill!) Obama was editor of
the Harvard Law Review – and never wrote a single editorial. And we elected and
re-elected him.
And now we’re taking the measure of a billionaire
11 times over who’s boldly carved his signature in stone and steel and
golf-course green around the world, written best-selling books and produced and
starred in dazzlingly high-rated TV shows, and you’re trying to tell me this
world-class accomplishmentarian is a summertime thing set to evaporate
with the first fall chill? In a pig’s eye! Even his worst enemies agree that
Donald Trump gets things done. Meanwhile, your community organizer is now a
political kidney stone that will take 17 more months to pass. You don’t like
Trump’s rhetoric, maybe? What’swrong with “I love this country and I want to
make it great again”?
Donald Trump has ruptured every rule of nature
and human nature, science and political science, and continues to sneer at the
Law of Gravity itself as he personally and deliberately pushes every
down-button while his elevator nonetheless continues up, up and up.
Sen. John McCain satisfies most people’s
definition of a war hero. Here comes Trump mocking McCain as being a “war hero
only because he was captured.” Some of those “wise observers” declared Trump
doomed even at that early point. And what happened? Trump gained!
At the Fox News debate of Aug. 6, some sinister
force that wanted to stick it to Trump led things off, not by obeying
the natural and organic procedure of calling for all those candidates who vowed
to support the eventual Republican nominee to please raise their hands. No. The
moderator instead called for “all those who will not pledge to support
the eventual Republican nominee” to please raise their hands. And whoever
imposed that reverse wording got his wish. There stood Trump in the middle of
the pack, all alone with his right hand in the air. And what happened? Trump
gained.
Doesn’t our culture forbid us to hit a woman?
Meet Fox’s rapturous Megyn Kelly, whose very appearance sets the syrups of the
soul all a-sizzle even before her formidable IQ approaches the scale for a
weigh-in. Kelly ticked off a litany of horrendous things Trump has uttered to
denigrate women. Trump struck back hard. And what happened? Trump gained.
Aren’t we supposed to tire quickly in the
presence of a braggart? Trump plunges with gusto and abandon into firestorms of
self-praise, citing his fabulous fortune, huge achievements, the hordes of
people who love him and his admittedly impressive record for “getting things
done”! Trump unloads like a sportscaster whose son just scored the game-winning
touchdown in the Super Bowl, as he shares the news that there was just a poll
in Nevada, and “I came in first among Hispanics!” Aren’t candidates supposed to
use subtle comments to smuggle across feelings likely to win them votes? Trump
puts it all out on the front porch where the goats can get it. “And I’m going
to take care of our warriors, whom I love! I love our wounded warriors!” Again,
Trump gained.
Is Trump lying about the slump America’s fallen
into? And isn’t it true that millions too few Americans are working, that our
military has been eviscerated, that our allies distrust us, that our enemies no
longer respect us, that we get beaten by smarter adversaries across every
negotiating table? And isn’t it true that smart, gutsy leadership that knows
what it’s doing could, indeed, make us great again?
If the anti-Trump rap weren’t so pitiful I’d be
much angrier. Forever we’ve longed for a leader who didn’t have to mortgage
himself out to fat-cats, a leader free to appoint the best people and not the
best donors. Now we’ve got him.
During the Civil War a group of less successful
generals complained to Lincoln that Gen. Grant was an alcoholic. “Find out what
he likes,” snapped Abe. “And send him another case.” I don’t think Trump
drinks.

Republican elites need to let the voters decide
who the GOP candidate will be and how the 2016 convention will operate. How
about letting the delegates decide for a change ?
