The Airing of Grievances





The oxygen that drives the Trump campaign is rage. Rage at the "establishment". Rage at the Press. Rage at immigrants, minorities,,,etc. Trump needs a fresh supply of dragons to slay each and every day.
His appeal is to a very angry disaffected group who feel left out of an uncertain future.

How far can a candidate get on anger and bluster alone? I don't know. But, we are about to see, because it's all he's got.



Trump trashes reporters, opponents on Christmas Eve

Washington (CNN)For Donald Trump, Christmas doesn't seem to be the season of peace.

Before and after the Republican front-runner attended a Christmas Eve service at a church in Palm Beach, Florida, on Thursday, Trump ditched any holiday cheer, ripping journalists who he believed covered him unfairly, some of them for not making more of CNN's recent poll showing him in a commanding position.

The recipients included a pair of New York Times reporters, NBC's Chuck Todd as well as two of his favorite political targets, Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush.

Trump took aim at New York Times reporters Amy Chozick and Maggie Haberman, who is also a CNN contributor, perhaps in response to a story the two wrote on Wednesday about how Clinton was using Trump's "schlonged" comment to galvanize female voters.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: The Airing of Grievances

Any political predictions for 2016?
This race has got me scratching my head.

I'll brave a few.
1. Bernie wins New Hampshire.
2. Cruz wins Iowa.
3. Christie wins New Hampshire.

We will see
