A great article that examines Trump's appeal and positions - without the spin.

Donald Trump Is the Good Guy

The first paragraph has far too much spin to read any further. It alleges Clinton was weak on terrorism for not following up on the USS Cole even though he only had 3 months left in office at the time, hardly enough time for thorough investigation/retaliation yet claims GWB "responded well" to terrorism? He invaded/occupied a country that had NOTHING to do with the attacks on our country, tying up valuable resources better used elsewhere. What did HE do about follow up on the Cole? Where's the mention of Reagan doing NOTHING after the Beirut barracks bombing?

Sorry but spin in the direction of your choice is not the same as no spin.

You are Spot on, Above. Dubya Bush'es, pre-emptive Strike/invasion of Iraq, his personal Agenda to remove Saddam, was a complete deflection of the ones who actually "brought down the Twin Towers in NYC."

And, without any doubt, that Mother of All Mistakes/Blunders by U.S. is the direct reason the Arab States are Now so Agressive against the USA Now !!

This part is hard to deny.

They have tried turning the rascals out many times in the last 30 years and they just get worse rascals. Most despicable example is Paul Ryan ( submits, buget, application to be Hillary's lap dog ).

The liberal media establishment is frenzied in its animosity to Donald Trump, and their hysteria is becoming more vociferous and desperate as he utters clangorous violations of the normal parameters of political discourse. The echo chamber explodes, the commentariat foams at the mouth, but he seems to pay no penalty in the polls. I think there are two explanations for this: Donald doesn’t really say such outrageous things as his opponents spinningly impute to him; and vast sections of the population are more bitterly disappointed and angry at the deterioration of their country and the misinformation of the mainstream media than the subjects of that resentment can imagine.

They started by mocking Trump; and his preoccupation with unserious matters, such as where the president was born, made that simple. But Trump’s durability now scares them. Last week, the New York Times accused Trump of being on “the brink of fascism.” The worthy Max Boot, respected strategic writer, compared him to Joseph R. McCarthy. There is a good deal of this sort of overreaction, and of course the public will be too intelligent to buy into much of it.

Your commentary, as usual, is so WRONG & Bias.

No, Trump is No 'Good guy'...but neither is Any of the other candidates, R & D, Male nor Female.

But, Honestly, this piece is very compelling and accurate. Donald Trump really has been a Forceful, Impactful Voice of this pathetic Election cycle. He won't ever be Elected POTUSA, because...the last few decades, the Stupid American Voting public has been under a Spell of WitchCraft of Hellish Control.

NeverTheLess, Trump's Raw, accurate addressing of the issues, which All of the typical politicians have been afraid to voice....or too Corrupt too.

But, Trump's Stand has Absolutely been a Tremendous Inspiration for Millions who Know he is correct, on most All issues he has fearlessly spoken out about. So, It has been Good !!!

I always had an aversion to Trump, esp. for his lack of empathy. But at least he is not afraid to show his ugly side. He doesn't seem to worry too much about his public image and have two-faces like Hillary Clinton.
