Trump is now setting the GOP agenda

Josh Marshall: “We’ve gone far enough now with the Trump political phenomenon to know that it is no mere or momentary matter of name recognition which has placed him as the top contender for the Republican nomination, as bizarre an eventuality as that might appear. He now leads all national polls and all polls in the key early primary and caucus states – and by significant margins. We’ve also witnessed key GOP stakeholder Fox News try to derail Trump’s campaign and fail miserably at it. Lots of top Republicans jumped on that bum-rush Trump bandwagon only to be damaged in turn when it collapsed. We’re now in a categorically different phase. Trump is now defining the GOP policy agenda. And that makes him far more than a top candidate or even a nominee.”

“Ending birthright citizenship used to be an idea embraced on the far right of the House GOP caucus and bandied about by rightwing policy wonks. Trump has now not only made it a signature of his campaign. He’s also pulling all the other candidates along with him.”

2. Andy Kaufman's work is now complete

he's gone from stand-up comic to faking his death to assuming the persona of Donald Trump to controlling the GOP agenda.

have to give it to this guy, he nailed it back in 2012.
"As the actions of a wealthy, intelligent businessman campaigning for Mit Romney, today’s non-events are at best a pathetic cry for help.

However, as performance art on the part of one of our culture’s true creative geniuses, it’s nothing short of brilliant."

for what he created.

5. Is there anything Trump could do to turn off his mean angry apoplectic psychopathic base?

Hug a kitten? Escort a blind man across the street? Giving money to a homeless woman and her children living in the street?

It seems that the more vile, ugly and un politically correct things he says and does just earn him cheers from the nuts.

6. He just said in a press conference in New Hampshire that he has the biggest heart of anyone he is

running against. That is dangerous for the GOP because they have worked so hard to make their base hate anyone outside the tribe.
