What the Left, the DUmp, the media (sorry for the triple repetition), and a fair number of Establishment Republicans don't understand is that Trump puts voice to what a lot of people in this country
think. Like it or not, exclusionary or not, a
lot of people think exactly what he
says--and they're glad that
their voices are finally being heard. They
know Trump's reputation. They know that he
will do what he says he's going to.
In a way, the two people that one has to thank for the rise of Donald Trump are John Boehner and Mitch McConnell. Why? They
promised that they would 'stand up to Obama' to get their majorities in 2014. Once the voting public gave them said majorities, they
rubber-stamped the Obama agenda. They
lied. The American people
hate being lied to by their elected leaders. So, someone comes along who says what he means, and means what he says, and the Establishment types are shaking like leaves in a 40-knot gale.
They created the problem. Trump wants to
fix the problem.

Trump’s bluster fills the void left by other leaders’ PC silence
By Bob McManus

Ho-hum. Another day, another absurdity from Donald Trump. As leaders go, he’s nothing if not consistent.
But make no mistake: He is a leader, no matter his uncle-in-the-attic incoherence — and no matter that this time he’s pointing America down a truly dark and dangerous road.
He said Monday that he’d require all Muslims now outside US borders to stay there. And not just immigrants — citizens, business executives, tourists. Everybody.
It’s not likely he means it. Even The Donald can’t be that dumb. And it remains to be seen whether this outburst gives him more traction in the polls.
But no doubt it will resonate for some — just as Trump’s iconoclastic, albeit cynically surreal, presidential candidacy always resonates.
The rest of the column is here:

You can see that the penetrator is just starting to separate from the pieces of the sabot at the far right of that picture . . . I miss the M1-A1s!
