Robert J. Avrech: Emmy Award winning screenwriter. Movie fanatic. Helplessly and hopelessly in love with my wife since age nine.
When there were seventeen Republicans running to carry the GOPs standard against the Democrats, I supported Carly Fiorino. When Carly suspended her campaign, I shifted to Marco Rubio. When Rubio lost his home state of Florida and dropped out of the race, I supported Ted Cruz.
People kept asking me, what happens if Trump wins the nomination?
I shrugged off the question because I just did not believe the Donald would prevail.
I have a few thoughts to share after South Carolina.
I have been trying to understand the Trump phenomenon since his ascent. Those who support him tell me two things: “He tells it like it is” and “He’s strong.”
When I probe further it becomes clear that people are responding to his blunt, unrehearsed language, statements that have not been focus-tested. In short, Trump’s language is anti-PC. He says things that are outrageous. But their very outrageousness places them outside of the accepted PC word usage.

Last night the mainstream far left media revealed themselves as political assassins disguised as journalists.
They were also rude, nasty, condescending, self-righteous, and ignorant.
Every question was designed to belittle every GOP candidate on the floor. They didn’t even try and be subtle. They were blunt political instruments — with well-tended hair.
This was nothing less than a political show trial, CNBC in quasi-Stalin mode. Here, on full display, were Democrat hacks making use of Orwellian language—a Democrat specialty—in a crude attempt at smearing and ultimately destroying the Republican party.

Who won? Who lost?
The media are preoccupied with figuring out the winners and losers from the GOP debate last week. Seraphic Secret came away with some impressions that we’d like to share with our readers.
Too many of Jake Tapper’s questions were designed to draw blood between Trump and the other candidates. This is the stuff of high-school feuds. Hey, did you hear what Donald said about you?
Really, who cares?
Obama’s SOTU in brief:
This is a job killer.
Higher taxes. We’ve been here before. It was called shovel-ready jobs. Which Obama famously yucked-up as not-so-ready.
