WEEK’S NEWS
Donald Trump and Ted Cruz got a split decision from
Republican voters in four states Saturday that didn’t dramatically change the
nomination race but did expose unrest among party conservatives who want an
alternative to the celebrity real estate mogul as their presidential nominee.
Earlier in the week, Trump had a
good Super Tuesday.
Trump continues to demonstrate a
wide base of support, riding record turnouts to seven victories out of the 11

Confidential polling data shows Hillary Clinton could lose
the presidential election in heavily Democratic New York to Trump as the GOP
front-runner’s support grows to the point of being “surprisingly strong,”

Romney. “His promises are as worthless
as a degree from Trump University. He´s playing the American public for
suckers: He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat.”
But four years ago Romney praised Trump:- "Donald Trump
has shown an extraordinary ability to understand how our economy works and to
create jobs….”
Senator McCain joined Romney in criticizing front-runner
Donald Trump, particularly on foreign policy.

Pat Buchanan: “Is a
new GOP being born?” 3/1
As long ago as
the early 1990s, populist conservatives were imploring George H. W. Bush to
secure our Mexican border, as tens of thousands poured across in the San
Diego-Tijuana corridor. Gov. Pete Wilson turned near-certain defeat into a
stunning comeback victory in 1994 by promising to send the National Guard.
Why did the
establishment not respond then to the electorate? Why, instead of trashing
Wilson for imperiling future party prospects with Hispanics, did the
establishment not do what the people had demanded and move decisively to secure
our southern border?
What is conservative about uncontrolled
borders?
Why,
as trade deficits with China and the world rose from the tens of billions to
hundreds of billions, did the establishment not wake up and see the shuttering
factories, the lost jobs and the ghost towns arising across America – and
react? Could they not see that, as we celebrated globalization, Beijing and
Tokyo were practicing ruthless mercantilism and protectionism?
At
the end of the Cold War in 1991, many Americans urged that, with the Soviet
Empire dissolved and Soviet Union disintegrating, it was time to bring our
troops home and let the rich fat nations that had been freeloading for half a
century provide the soldiers and pay the cost of their own security.
Instead,
the establishment opted for empire, for expanding old alliances, dumping over
regimes, crusading for democracy, sending our soldiers out to remake Third
World countries in the image of Iowa and Vermont. Who now thinks all these wars
were worth the cost?
Whether
Trump wins or loses the nomination, the immigration, trade and foreign policies
pursued by the elites since the end of the Cold War are dead letters. The
nation has declared them to be so in the primaries.
Who
is campaigning, in either party today, for open borders, or passing The
Trans-Pacific Partnership, or sending troops back to Iraq or into Syria?
The
Bernie Sanders insurgency appears to have been turned back by the vested
interests of his party. But like the George McGovern insurgency in ’72, which
also relied heavily upon the enthusiasm of the young, Sanders’ socialism may be
the ideological future of his party.
The
same may be said of the Trump insurgency. Whatever happens at Cleveland, the
returns from the primaries look like the passing of the old order, the death
rattle of an establishment fighting for its life, and being laughed at and
mocked as it goes down. As in 1964 and 1980, a new Republican Party is taking
shape.
Defections
are to be expected, and not altogether unwelcome.

Who supports trump and why
Limbaugh on Trump: Much bigger upside than downside... Limbaugh
also said he believes that the divide between the Republican establishment and
conservatives is “longer, broader, wider than I have ever seen it."
“If Trump wins the nomination -- which is more likely than
not -- the Republican Party will stumble. If Trump wins the presidency, he will
have enormous say in what the party looks like from top to bottom. The party
will still have enough power to facilitate Senate, House, state and local races
nationwide. But it will be an appendage of Trump. If Trump endorses a Herman
Cain for Senate over a sitting representative who has worked his way through
the system for two decades, what's the party going to do? The paths worn down
over a century, paved with contributions from donors and with routes driven by
endorsers, will be handed over to Trump. That's the party's fear. And it's a
valid one.”
On Thursday the media told Trump
former Grand Wizard David Duke had endorsed him. Trump disavowed the
endorsement. On Friday at a press conference the media told Trump former Grand
Wizard David Duke had endorsed him. Trump disavowed the endorsement. On Sunday the media told Donald Trump former
Grand Wizard David Duke had endorsed him. Trump told the media to send him the
list and he would look it over. Then the media and GOP establishment really
lost it. Mitt Romney slammed the GOP front-runner for coddling repugnant
bigotry.
