Indeed he is. But he's all we've got.<\/span><\/p>\n

The man has no class. This is a large part of the reason why bow-tied, yap-and-scribble Beltway conserve-nothing cuckservatives can't abide him. But class is overrated in any case and useless in a war if not positively dangerous. It would be great if the civility and grace of a Reagan could be married to the cojones of a Trump, but that can't happen due to human, all-too-human, limitations. <\/span><\/p>\n

In a war you need someone who is willing and able to fight, and fight to win. And he has to be electable: he has to have popular support. If you don't think Trump's the man, tell me who is.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don't see that Phillips or his pal Ackmann have given any. But then I have read only Ackman's long tweet<\/a> and Phillips' annoyingly graphic and superficial website to which Ackman links. What are the arguments against the Orange Man? Trump = Hitler? Trump a cult leader? Tell that to some Iowa farmer with his pitchfork at the ready.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
