    I should follow LAU again and see his shenanigans.
    And I thought you really wanted to be my FB friend!

    Walsh is too conservative for me but I do agree with him on The Donald. I posted only his introductory comments and did not link to him on The Blaze, because that is also too much for me.

      His article cracked me up. Going after someone for being too bombastic? Haha.

        He was still right about The D:

        "And now Donald Trump is implying that Megyn Kelly challenged him because she was on her period. Trump is a pig, episode 9,876,439.

        "Now, I've noticed that most of my readers are not Trump fans, and I appreciate that. I love you guys for being reasonable and not falling for this glorified circus elephant. But Trump fans will come out of the woodwork because of my latest piece here, and when they do I want you to notice something: they claim they like Trump's "blunt and unapologetic" approach, but watch how they react when that blunt and unapologetic strategy is turned against them. Watch what happens when someone is blunt and unapologetic towards them....

        "Trump...claims to be the bold, politically incorrect guy, but he cries like a scrawny bully when anyone punches him back. He's weak. He's a dishonorable, desperate goon who will stoop to any level to insult anyone who fails to worship him, and will resort to any measure to get attention. And this isn't even the worst thing about him. The worst thing is that he's a corrupt, liberal, mob-connected charlatan. He's a Democrat with a Democrat's agenda, which is trumped (pun intended) only by his primary agenda, which is to serve himself and himself alone.

        "But Donald Trump is not the problem. The real problem are his supporters. These are conscious, intelligent adults who have chosen to make a mockery of the political process and play games with my country's future. For this reason, because I love my country and I take it's fate seriously, I am angry at these people. They know better than this. They are better than this. And it pains me that these reckless, bored people are coming, presumably, from the conservative ranks. I would have liked to think that conservatives wouldn't fall for the Obama Cult of Personality shtick, but they have. And it's depressing to behold.

        "But, much as I'll be accused of attacking them here, I'm actually the one encouraging them. Most of the rest of the non-Trump fans just treat the Trump Squad like children who can't be held responsible. I, on the other hand, would never insult them like that. They're not children. They're not robots. They have a brain and free will, and it's about time they freaking use it...."

          Yes, I have read the essay. Right message, wrong messenger.

            I figured out how to block certain types of posts. So when you post that crimson red nonsense, I can just block it from my feed!

              Stop thinking so ad hominem. Here's the Wall Street Journal today with a very similar argument:

              A Trump Education for the Right
              Conservatives who indulged him now claim to be embarrassed.

              Thursday’s debate showed that the Republican Party has several accomplished conservatives who would be formidable candidates in 2016. Unlike Mr. Trump, they know something about the world and economic policy. They can make a political argument beyond calling everything “terrific” or “stupid.” They even look and act presidential. Yet with Donald Trump dominating media coverage, they aren’t getting the hearing they deserve. And Mr. Trump would guarantee GOP defeat next year if he runs as a third-party spoiler.

              Having helped to create Trumpism, Mr. Erickson and his angry enablers now claim to be embarrassed by its namesake. It would have been better had they not indulged him in the first place.

                Ad hominem? Don't be ridiculous. I already said that I agree with him. I just think it's funny that he's delivering this kind of message given his track record of scorched earth.

                    Agreed. I thought you were questioning what Matt Walsh said solely because he said it. I do get the irony.

                      this is what the GOP talking heads are doing....composing arguments outlining why Donald Trump isn't the right guy for the nomination? that's where things are right now? lol.

                          Senator Sanders is ahead of her in the latest New Hampshire poll. By seven points, I heard this morning.

                            Sanders isn't going to beat her. Biden will step in and she'll be pushed out because she's corrupt.

                                I really hope Hillary lasts long enough to get the nomination.
