TRUMP GAINS MOMENTUM IN VIRGINIA

Fox’s gurus, Megyn Kelly, Bill O’Reilly and echos from their supporting casts have for six weeks pronounced Donald Trump’s sudden disappearance from their political scene…..a certain political suicide of a man who allegedly knew nothing, possessed no characteristics required by the Conservative Elites, was untrained politically,  failed in language style and disobedient of the laws of political correctness. He called a face too accurately.  (I, too was concerned.)  He was said to be too crude to be seen by the washed right, and for certain, by  the crude left, despite nearly a decade of unpunished Obama and Hillary crimes against America, whose common and countless misbehaviors to diminish our nation became  evils supported by the press, entertainment and educational industries, and inner city criminal savages all foraged and fattened  by the dogmatic left over the past generation.

Trump Draws the Curious, Protests, True Believers in Va.

By Rebecca Berg  at realclearpolitics:

RICHMOND, Va. — Donald Trump is tired of reporters asking him when he’ll drop out of the Republican presidential primary, which he currently leads. So, on Wednesday, he raised the stakes.

“If I don’t win, I consider it to be a massive failure,” Trump said at a rally here.

In the heated summer of Trump, many Republican strategists speculated privately that the billionaire’s campaign would be finished by fall. After Labor Day, their rationale went, voters would start to take a more sober look at the candidates and conclude that Trump did not measure up, or tire of him.

But that hasn’t happened.

Instead, the crowds keep coming: More than 7,000 people in Richmond by Trump’s count, although to the eye it seemed closer to 4,000. Whatever the number, the audience was as energized and loud as one in the final days of a general election.

With that enthusiasm, Trump has maintained his lead nationally and in key primary states, even if his margin has narrowed somewhat. Those encouraging poll numbers remain a key part of the businessman’s stump speech, such as it is: On Wednesday, he recited the latest CNN/ORC survey results from Nevada and South Carolina, where he leads the Republican field.

The polls are a great applause line for Trump, and they were again Wednesday, because his campaign is predicated on defying expectations and the established order, and on winning. That dynamic works for now, and for as long as Trump is on top — but if he can’t keep winning, it unravels.

Rahm Emanuel Wades in the Sewage of 84 Years of Chicago’s Democrat Party Rule

Rahm Emanuel reaps the whirlwind of Democratic rule

by George F. Will   at the Washington Post:

“A Midwestern humorist, Indiana’s Kin Hubbard, said people often confuse bad management with destiny. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel knows better. He must play the cards that fate has dealt him, and he is too polite, or at least too prudent, to say that another name for fate is Democratic rule of the city since 1931.

George F. Will writes a twice-weekly column on politics and domestic and foreign affairs. He began his column with The Post in 1974, and he received the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary in 1977. He is also a contributor to FOX News’ daytime and primetime programming.

During the past 84 years, the growth of the public sector has been mostly driven by the alliance between elected politicians and public-sector unions. This has made Chicago emblematic of the coast-to-coast crisis of what Walter Russell Mead has labeled the “blue model” of municipal and state governance.

It is not Emanuel’s fault that Chicago’s three largest employers, after the federal government, are the public school system, the city government and Cook County’s government. Although Emanuel is a product of the Chicago politics that made Barack Obama, the crisis brought on by such politics now requires Emanuel to take many measures to make Chicago an exception to the nation’s economic lethargy under Obama.” …….
