TAMMY BRUCE EXPLAINS THE VALUE OF DONALD TRUMP

Ken Berwitz


As any regular reader knows, I don\’t have a lot of regard for Donald Trump as a presidential candidate.  In fact, I have spent months referring to him as the world\’s richest barroom loudmouth.

But, as conservative writer and talk show host Tammy Bruce points out, we should not assume that because he is a loudmouth he has no value.  

Ms. Bruce has written an excellent piece for the Washington Times, which talks about just what a knockout election Republican conservatives had last week.  Click here to read it – you won\’t be sorry.

Within her commentary is this explanation of Donald Trump\’s value – which I just about completely agree with:

Tuesday\’s election results should indeed frighten liberalsin that, I contend, it represents a renewed trust by the voter in their ownopinions and assessment of the facts, and they are now willing to vote what isright regardless of the names and abuse hurled at them by the left.

And we have one man to thank for that: Donald Trump.

Personally, I\’m not a fan of Mr. Trump politically. Ibelieve him to be a liberal, but one thing is undeniable: He has demonstratedto the American people that it\’s safe to reject the leftist Thought Police, tocultivate your own opinion and to trust your judgment. Liberals will wail thisis bad news, as the dogs of racism, homophobia and sexism will be unleashed.

This, of course, is just more projection, as liberalpolicies enacted throughout this nation continue to destroy the lives andfutures of people of color and women in particular. Tuesday should be seen asan indication that the American people have had enough with the lies of theleft and are ready, willing and able to take this nation back from a fantasyworld only a masochist could love.

Mr. Trump reinforces the rejection of leftist orthodoxyevery day with television viewers and the tens of thousands who attend hisrallies. His plain, honest talk usually contradicts the leftist narrative,which is virtually unheard of in the public sphere.

Finally, Americans are realizing they\’re not alone in beingappalled at what is transpiring in the nation and are realizing a house won\’tfall on them if they dare to think, consider and judge the left for the scourgethey are.

Terrific.

My only significant disagreement with Ms. Bruce is her contention that Donald Trump is a liberal.  To me, Donald Trump is anything he feels like being on any given day.  He has all the consistency of a pot luck dinner.

But her point about Trump opening a door for people who have been cowed into submission by the left, and showing them that their voice is strong, viable… not to mention desperately needed… is spot-on.

That is the value of a loudmouth like Donald Trump.  And as long as he provides such value without being anywhere near the oval office, I wish him great success.
