Trump marches on

I heard the brash, outspoken Donald Trump on the Laura Ingraham show today. My fifteen-year-old son asked me incredulously, "Do you like him?" I answered, "If he does what is right for this country, I don't have to like him." Trump bragged to Laura, "I know how the system works. You give them money, and they do what you want!" Then he quickly added, "I'm using my own money. I don't need anybody else's money."

Ann Althouse, a Wisconsin blogger who has followed Governor Scott Walker's actions in Wisconsin more closely than any blogger I read, tells us that even Walker's worst enemies characterize him as "pleasant." Do we want "pleasant," or someone whose personality is anything but "pleasant," but who leads the country back to strength, and does the right thing about securing our borders?

Who could put an end to political correctness faster than Donald Trump?

Althouse points out that

"Nearly six in 10 — 57 percent — Republicans now have a favorable view of Trump, compared to 40 percent who have an unfavorable one."
"That marks a complete reversal from a late-May Post-ABC poll, in which 65 percent of Republicans saw Trump unfavorably."

Of course, the media brings us only the most outlandish things Trump says. For example, he said we are letting rapists from Mexico stay in the country. He also said, "I love the Mexican people." My son knew about the first quote, but not the second.
