El Rushbo explains<\/a>, in his inimitable style, the appeal of Trump to his base.<\/span><\/p>\n

The (intellectually) attractive Myron Magnet details<\/a> how Trump spells death to political correctness drawing on recent columns by Peggy Noonan, Shelby Steele, and Andrew Klavan. <\/span><\/p>\n

The preternaturally prolific Victor Davis Hanson <\/span>relates<\/a> how "Trump is commonsensically undoing, piece by piece, the main components of Obama\u2019s legacy."  Hanson appreciates that Trump hatred has more to do with his style than his policies:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>To many progressives and indeed elites of all persuasions, Trump is also the Prince of Anti-culture: mindlessly na\u00efve American boosterism; conspicuous, 1950s-style unapologetic consumption; repetitive and limited vocabulary; fast-food culinary tastes; Queens accent; herky-jerky mannerisms; ostentatious dress; bulging appearance; poorly disguised facial expressions; embracing rather than sneering at middle-class appetites; a lack of subtlety, nuance, and ambiguity. <\/span><\/p>\n

In short Trump\u2019s very essence wars with everything that long ago was proven to be noble, just, and correct by Vanity Fair, NPR, The New Yorker, Google, the Upper West Side, and The Daily Show. There is not even a smidgeon of a concession that some of Trump\u2019s policies might offer tens of thousands of forgotten inner-city youth good jobs or revitalize a dead and written-off town in the Midwest, or make the petroleum of the war-torn Persian Gulf strategically irrelevant to an oil-rich United States.<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
