A Republican explains TD. -- Lazarus 01/28/2017 07:29AM

He still doesn't get this is a reaction against the 'sunny faith' -- hoodeyo 01/28/2017 12:51PM

I don't share your sunny faith in the purism of Trump's voters. -- WahooRQ 01/28/2017 5:42PM

I'm not defending the purism of Trump voters at all. -- hoodeyo 01/28/2017 6:02PM

Knee-jerk anti-establishmentism "protest voting" is its own brand of idiocy -- WahooRQ 01/28/2017 7:03PM

Probably not. I just think David Brooks is a chump. ** -- hoodeyo 01/28/2017 7:26PM

I think it was a reaction against Hillary Clinton more than anything ** -- wahoo138 01/28/2017 1:39PM

In the general election. Voters objected to Clinton personally, -- hoodeyo 01/28/2017 1:47PM

Yeah you've dissected this thoroughly here -- wahoo138 01/28/2017 2:03PM

This is what you get for not having and implementing -- Hokieesith 01/28/2017 10:58AM

Hoo is this "you" to whom you refer? -- WaxHoo 01/28/2017 12:42PM

That pronoun would work even better. It's fine by me. ** -- Hokieesith 01/28/2017 12:50PM

Dayum! :-) ** -- WaxHoo 01/28/2017 12:56PM

Trump doesn't have a solution either. -- Beerman 01/28/2017 12:19PM

I never said he did. But no one did anything for years. -- Hokieesith 01/28/2017 12:40PM

The Fed keeping interest rates at near 0% clearly helped keep GDP above 1% ** -- Wahoo Ron 01/28/2017 1:34PM

Reagan was a tariff guy. W used tariffs in steel, Obama in tires. -- hoodeyo 01/28/2017 12:32PM

What they're talking about isn't going to affect -- wahoo138 01/28/2017 12:52PM

It is definitely more extreme. Just meant as a reminder -- hoodeyo 01/28/2017 1:10PM

Bombast is what got him elected -- Beerman 01/28/2017 12:42PM

Still, I don't think that's new. -- hoodeyo 01/28/2017 1:03PM

The POTUS his first week in office -- wahoo138 01/28/2017 1:32PM

David Brooks is to Republican as David Horowitz is to Democrat ** -- Wahoo Ron 01/28/2017 10:53AM

Brooks is sane ** -- WaxHoo 01/28/2017 12:45PM

I think he'd agree. He was when Reagan was president though. -- hoolstoptheheels 01/28/2017 11:34AM

Reasonable, intelligent views. Time to kick him out of GOP. ** -- hokie in cville 01/28/2017 11:09AM

And the same paper backs it up with a real news story -- Wahoo Ron 01/28/2017 10:21AM

What's your point, if you have one? ** -- WaxHoo 01/28/2017 12:46PM

The Republican party today is -- wahoo138 01/28/2017 09:45AM

In other words, they've become Democrats. ** -- Hokie5150 01/28/2017 10:16AM

I partly disagree. The latter class votes against the Democratic Party -- Hoogle.com 01/28/2017 10:03AM

Trump owns you guys, more despair from the defeated ** -- TomKazanski 01/28/2017 09:38AM

& when will you get your heads out of your asses?? If you voted for Trump -- graycalhoo 01/28/2017 12:04PM

Well, there is a reason for that. -- Hokieesith 01/28/2017 2:09PM

You answer your own question -- Beerman 01/28/2017 3:32PM

Lol. Thanks for the laugh. ** -- Hokieesith 01/28/2017 5:13PM

I don't think it's made up -- wahoo138 01/28/2017 3:02PM

Iran is interesting. The citizenry is Shia and probably more likely -- hoodeyo 01/28/2017 4:09PM

With friends like the Saudis how can you go wrong. -- walkthecorner 01/28/2017 4:42PM

This man is taking us not back to the days of isolationism,but imperialism? -- Wahoo Ron 01/28/2017 1:14PM

One week ** -- wahoo138 01/28/2017 1:33PM

Ask Nieto if he feels owned today -- wahoo138 01/28/2017 10:20AM

You're the one who's Trump's bitch. Speak for yourself. ** -- WahooRQ 01/28/2017 10:04AM

...but Tom is not the one bitchin' ** -- Tuckahokie 01/28/2017 10:16AM

TD is just doin' what Putin tells him to do. ** -- aint2Hokie4me 01/28/2017 08:46AM

Curious...how does a wall "lock in" more illegals than it will keep -- Tuckahokie 01/28/2017 07:53AM

Becuase there has been a net migration out -- 111Balz 01/28/2017 10:29AM

I think the wall is moot. I don't think it will ever be built. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 01/28/2017 09:41AM

Re: Curious...how does a wall -- Lazarus 01/28/2017 09:38AM

The only thing he's done so far that isn't just talk -- wahoo138 01/28/2017 09:54AM

Should have read your post first. Agree with these points. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 01/28/2017 09:42AM

Meh, just drivel. About what you would expect from the WP ** -- Exhoolate 01/28/2017 07:44AM

News for the D.C. bubble ** -- Tuckahokie 01/28/2017 08:36AM

More for educated and principled conservatives..what's left of them anyways ** -- WahooRQ 01/28/2017 08:44AM

Literally hundreds of those in and around D.C. ** -- Tuckahokie 01/28/2017 08:47AM

A few who remember when being conservative meant you believed in free -- WahooRQ 01/28/2017 09:07AM

And nothing liberal about today's democrat. -- Hokieesith 01/28/2017 11:21AM

The one thing we agree on is that todays Repub party isn't conservative -- DAMHoo 01/28/2017 09:19AM

A very large percentage of the 63 million spineless cowards are -- Tuckahokie 01/28/2017 09:16AM

Oh, please. The largest demographic that voted for this clown was people -- WahooRQ 01/28/2017 09:22AM

Both candidates were terrible (and still are) and I expect a majority -- AlexHoo 01/28/2017 09:28AM

How many presidents have left office with a 60% approval rating? ** -- 111Balz 01/28/2017 10:33AM

Reagan and Clinton -- Wahoo Ron 01/28/2017 11:51AM

He'd have cleaned Trump's clock ** -- 111Balz 01/28/2017 2:14PM

Who cares? How long have they been polling? ** -- Hokieesith 01/28/2017 10:56AM

Although that 60% approval is probably high he has always been unsusal -- AlexHoo 01/28/2017 10:50AM

It went up sharply when America saw their choices of successor...hence my -- WahooRQ 01/28/2017 12:14PM

IIRC, Obama left with a 60% approval rating and would have been reelected -- WahooRQ 01/28/2017 10:03AM

I know Clinton was awful on many levels, but so was (is) Trump -- AlexHoo 01/28/2017 11:04AM

Well said. It was a "pick the less worse" choice. But, I must say, -- Hoogle.com 01/28/2017 09:49AM
