Playing the Trump Card

Listen to a doctrinaire "progressive" Fourth Estate Fifth Columnist on what's best for the party and the country! [More]

Go for it, establishment figureheads! I'm sure Walter Shapiro only has all our best interests at heart!

I noticed several attack Trump pieces on WaPo the other day. I'm sure a perusal of other major media sites will yield the same.  It's like the guy terrifies them.

To paraphrase Capt.Butler, they should be terrified, often, and by someone who knows how.

I saw a great observation over at Mike's the other day in response to one of his posts warning against the guy:

The point isn't that Trump might do all that, the point is that Trump is going to get elected by promising to do all that. He's going to get elected by saaying things that aren't PC, and that liberals hate. He's going to prove that you can be Right, and get elected. The Republicans have been saying for years that their only viable candidates were just as far left as the Dems: the only way to get elected was to be a leftist. Even if everything Trump says is exposed as a lie, he's going to expose a bigger, more fundamental lie: you don't really have to be far-left to get elected. 

That and he both creates and provides fodder for comedy gold:

Even when "progressives" make fun of the guy I still get a kick out of it, probably because they can't do so without exposing their own absurd delusions.
