Steyn doesn't get it
Steyn almost always sees the world correctly, but he seems to have an elitist blind spot in the direction of Trump.
Won't bother to repeat here, since my comment there (as wpa38) already said what I wanted.
Obviously it remains to be seen whether Trump will carry through on his rhetoric; he has a poor record of principled steadiness, to put it mildly! But you can't validly argue with his rhetoric as such.
Unless and until a more steady character starts speaking the truth, I'm with Trump. The other candidates on both sides are firmly mired in the giant shitpile of agreed-on lies.

Anecdotal: I went downtown this morning for variety, trying to break out of the rut of taking morning walks to the grocery store. While hanging around the bus depot watching people, I noticed a cheerful old guy chatting with the driver of the #21 bus. They weren't talking about sports, they were talking about Trump. Both agreed that "Trump might be crazy, but he's a hell of a lot less crazy than the other candidates." Pretty much my thinking as well. ¶ 5:21 AM
