Comments to Steve Sailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

* There seems to be one NFL coach who views white players as underpriced due to bias. Of course, he also has the most anti-social, ruthless personality (and the most Super Bowl rings).<\/p>\n

* It\u2019s not that Trump is \u201ca traitor to his class\u201d.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s that Trump will do what supposedly cannot be done.<\/p>\n

We supposedly cannot build an effective fence on our Mexican border, but Trump will build one.<\/p>\n

We supposedly cannot fix our birth-right citizenship, but Trump will fix it.<\/p>\n

We supposedly cannot ever start a court-martial of Bowe Berdahl, but Trump will start one.<\/p>\n

And so on and so forth.<\/p>\n

Trump will accomplish many simple governmental tasks that are supposedly impossible.<\/p>\n

Trump will negotiate with the US Congress.<\/p>\n

The time is coming for a pragmatic, can-do Presidency.<\/p>\n

* A lot of people are sneering at Trump because he is so over exposed on reality TV. I am sure there are many also ran\u2019s who complained just as bitterly about FDR using the radio or Kennedy being telegenic.<\/p>\n

* I don\u2019t get this idea that Trump isn\u2019t going to win the GOP primary. He is leading in every state, mostly by double digits. He is the only candidate who draws large crowds, showing the type of dedication you need to win caucus states where people have to spend as much as 4 hours to vote.<\/p>\n

The Great Koch Hope Scott Walker has dropped down to less than 5 in most polls now. Jeb is hated by much of the base and run an extremely inept campaign, doubling down his defenses of amnesty and the Iraq Attaq.<\/p>\n

The idea the GOP Establishment has some strategy up its sleeve to beat him is BS. They already threw RACIST! at him dozens of times with the complete cooperation of the media. It failed. He hates women and veterans also was a flop. a secret liberal who gave money to Hillary likewise failed. What exactly is left to hit him with?<\/p>\n

* I think it was Steve Sailer himself who remarked upon the appointment of the new Federal Reserve chairman that the absence of Gentiles in the position as of late was part of a trend which confers a convenient pretext to accuse advocates of tighter regulation of billionaires of anti-Semitism.<\/p>\n

* So far the Republican establishment has tried to go after Trump by saying \u201cOMG he\u2019s racist!\u201d which explains why he has gone up so much in the polls.<\/p>\n

Eventually they\u2019ll come up with an attack angle that is effective, (expect some variation of \u201cNew York liberal Donald Trump\u201d), the billionaire backers will make sure that message is on the airwaves 24\/7, and eventually a majority of the Republican electorate will relent and vote for JEB or whoever.<\/p>\n

* What I don\u2019t get is the smear that claims Trump is \u201ctacky.\u201d To my best lights, Trump is no tackier than Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, John \u201cWeepy\u201d Boehner, Joe Biden, Jeb Bush, Oprah Winfrey, Al Sharpton, Fauxcahontas, most of Enemedia-Pravda\u2019s mercenary talking heads, and lots of other Establishment figures whom Enemedia-Pravda claim to be possessed of \u201cgravitas.\u201d<\/p>\n

These are the United States. We invented tacky \u2013 it\u2019s inseparable from our American culture. Even Enemedia-Pravda approach Imminvasion, Global Warming, elections, and everything other matter as if its talking heads are the celebrity judge panel on The Gong Show.<\/p>\n

* Douthat attracts some of the worst commenters- just obnoxious, always missing the point, unnecessarily rude. Since he\u2019s basically Sailer-lite, it\u2019s interesting to imagine how an average Sailer blog post would be received by that crowd. I think most wouldn\u2019t understand it, or would be so offended by the trees they\u2019d miss the forest.<\/p>\n

* One of Trump\u2019s great qualities is his sense of humor. He\u2019s just very funny. People have a good time at his meetings.<\/p>\n

Kaus points out that this email thing is so technical and tedious, but Trump found a way around that \u2013 focus on the Wiener.<\/p>\n

* I think Trump\u2019s basic mindset is blue collar American. Blue collar guys are not ideological. They are \u201cLet\u2019s get this damn thing done.\u201d They are finished product kind of guys and gals, not their children who talk endlessly and aren\u2019t people of action.<\/p>\n

* The fundamental beliefs of evangelicals set them up perfectly to be SJWs;the pathological altruism, and na\u00efvet\u00e9, the doctrine of we are all God\u2019s children therefore we must be equal in all respects etc. How many evangelicals are adopting Africans, ministering to 3rd Worlders, providing sanctuary and assistance to illegals, holding joint church services with black churches?
\nLatinos are probably now the biggest source of converts for evangelicals. Drive around Southern California and see how many evangelical churches have their signs entirely in Spanish.<\/p>\n

* Absent plastic surgery, or truly remarkable genes, the physical differences between a healthy and attractive woman of 44 and that same woman seven years later are generally stark. The (natural) physical indicia of her nubility are simply depleted, by her early fifties, even if they had remained quite pleasantly noteworthy at 44. Even in men, the differences can be quite stark. When I look at pictures of my father from 1960, at age 39, still looking boyishly handsome, and then compare them to pictures from only five or six years later, I am amazed at how quickly he turned into an older man.<\/p>\n

* There is this (he believes he is conservative) liberal Jewish radio host [Dennis Prager?] who comes on in the morning in LA \u2013 who endlessly trashes Trump as a buffoon. He finally said something that made sense:<\/p>\n

He has no chance according to my circle of associates.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t want to waste and time and try and send him a message as to why that was so ridiculous.<\/p>\n

* The GOP establishment is going to line up behind Trump as soon as they realize that a massive white turnout will be elect a whole lot of Republican senators, congressmen, governors etc. The Republican party is about more than just winning the presidency.<\/p>\n

* Anyone running for POTUS who calls Anthony Weiner a \u201cperv\u201d deserves my vote.<\/p>\n

* BTW, there were some laughs by lefties at Trump\u2019s expense yesterday, because a Bloomberg reporter tried to ambush Trump Palin-style by asking him what his favorite Bible passage is (because Trump calls it his favorite book on the campaign trail). Now, of course Trump probably hasn\u2019t read the Bible in years, but he\u2019s no Palin. He handled the question pretty smoothly. Can\u2019t stump the Trump.<\/p>\n

* Some of the liberal policy suggestions for Trump are actually quite clever (any maybe more clever than the people suggesting them realise).<\/p>\n

For example, someone in a Stale article suggested Trump should promote a watered-down European-style medical system with free medicare for the over 50s (thus attracting working class support without unduly alienating the middle class).<\/p>\n

Electorally that could work on multiple levels. Over 50s Americans are more likely to be white, hence be adopting such a policy he could attract elderly and moderately liberal white voters and immigration restrictionists without being seen to be racist.<\/p>\n

* The green card printers ran night and day. We were that close to going out forever. But there was one man who taught us to fight, to vote the bums out of office, to smash those Liberal m*****f*****s into junk. He turned it around. He brought us back from the brink.<\/p>\n

His name is Trump. Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

* Yes, time for the loser Jeb!! to drop out of the race to give more oxygen to the more plausible opponents of Trump. But I don\u2019t mind watching Jeb!! twist slowly in the wind, either. The photo on Drudge last night was a classic: Jeb!! standing in the foreground looking dejected, his back to a small group of supporters in folding chairs, a few of them fat middle-aged couples and one odd duck with a a long beard. It reminded me of a Diane Arbus photo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
