Trump's decision to personally and dishonestly attack the character of his fellow Republican candidates continues to hamper his fund raising efforts. Little Lyin' Donnie seems to be running a pretty low energy operation.

What Hillary Clinton is to 'heir apparency' for Democrats, Jeb Bush was in like manner for the Republicans. He came in awash with backer money and on his mantle emblazoned in golden stitching were the words "I'm Next". He made his entrance into the candidate field like a US nuclear Carrier coming into port, bristling with F22's and able bodied seamen on deck.

The only problem with all of that was the people, like the people of Britain, had had enough of the establishment's hand picked successors and faceless bureaucrats making daily life miserable. After decades of excuses and unfulfilled promises, it was time to shake things up in DC. Everybody, including one of your idols in the person of Mark Levin, had been calling for the voters to rise up, but when they did, the #pinch nosed self appointed aristocracy, freaked out. At any rate, the silver spoon in the mouth of Jeb Bush didn't sweeten his demeanor much when the fur started to fly as the campaign got under way. His arrogance and sense of entitlement gave him away almost immediately and it was he who turned the voter off on his own behalf, not Trump. Not to say that Trump was in any way not up to the challenge as he gave better than he got. But what went down is a matter of history, I saw the debates and I listened to all the talk, Jeb did not campaign on the issues, he made it personal, and it was he who set the stage and the tone of primary season.

The people now recognize just how closely Paul Ryan's political positions mirror Hillary Clinton's positions. The one point that you and others just will not accept is that the people, being sick of the status quo felt compelled to go to an outlier candidate in order to bypass the politically correct stupidity, open borders, out of control welfare, a precariously decimated military, as well as brain dead fiscal and foreign policy embarrassments. They don't feel that the same establishment that brought us to a state of terminal vapor lock at the national level is capable or coming up with a solution. Hence, the rise of Donald Trump, who I might add is supported by those who had a part of the once in a century successes of the Reagan Administration.

I mean, is it just me or are we still making the same mistake over and over again here? There are two opposing factions of the establishment, the conservatives of the afore mentioned wildly successful Reagan Administration, and the progressive/liberals who have now managed to ship wreck the US at the financial, political, military and health care levels. But here is the point or perhaps the question; why are we listening to liberals tell us that the successes of the Reagan Era did not happen? I was there and folks, they did happen. Only last week I heard Hillary say that trickle down economics did not work. That my friends is a bare faced lie. So well did they work under Mr Reagan in fact, that the country Bill Clinton inherited was so financially well healed his 8 years term was a time of plenty. Now, please don't try to tell me that Billy Boy came into the Oval Office and just flipped a switch. His predecessor's 8 years of steady and sage guidance built the fortunes the Clinton Era enjoyed.
