#1 Oooops, the top yellow should be "h/t Instapundit".

#2 Nothing surprising about it. People are mad. They are sick of being betrayed. Trump talked to them, told them what they wanted to hear. If he were for real he would be a hero. Sadly, he's just another lifelong liberal ready and eager to sell us all downriver.

#3 I feel a lot of labels are falling at this time as people are looking for a patron to protect their interests. If you believe that magically government is going shrink short of being burned down, I have bridge for sale for you. Avoiding open bloodshed and monumental disruptions means seeking protection and power for your group that has been victimized now for generations by patrons of other groups. They've consolidated the power. It's not going away. Either you grab it or be further victimized by it. There is no 'right man'. Make the best of what you got.

#4 According to Wikipedia the US sends about half a billion dollars to Mexico each year in foreign aid. So if the wall costs $8 billion we'll do it on the installment plan. That's pretty specific, isn't it? Even I could figure it out. Next.

#5 Trump's latest idiocy - criticising the Geneva Conventions. He's already having to walk this back. Yesterday he wasnted the Supreme Court to investigate Hilliary's email - what a moron, not even a clue about how the judicial branch works.

Why are people still supporting this man?

#6 When the Convention is applied to everyone call me. See - illegal combatants, human shields, et al.

#7 The GOP establishment is sloppy and unpopular!

So no wonder he's ahead.

#8 When the "Respectable Right" is ineffective and corrupt (or perceived to be), people will look elsewhere for a champion, and their choice may or may not be a wise one.

This is ultimately on the GOPe, its fecklessness and its utter contempt for the base.

And Trump may be pretty benign compared to what comes next.
