FRriends. I've been meaning to write a vanity about what "presidential style" is all about for a long time.

Finally finished it up. Hope there's something here for you.

I spent zero time explaining why Hillary is not presidential, but I have a feeling we'll see a lot of comments on that vein. Cheers.

It should be noted that the “Camelot” label for the Kennedy years masked what was really a hard-core white trash family. The Clintons were a perfect successor to them.

I have concluded as this is the reason the left calls Trump “deplorable”.

They have “conditioned” the people to accept a candidate that has been “accepted” by the 1%.

People are easy to fool as you see the masses vote Democrat regardless of who it is.

Trump is changing the race. Democrats rely on division and Trump relies on America.

Big Difference.

This doesn’t look like a real “vanity” to me at all. It’s a well-written, interesting piece!

Something else to consider is that Trump has never held public office before. The idea that someone would make his first serious foray into politics in a presidential run sounds outlandish to all of the career politicians who have run this country into the ground.

HEY POCO!

I just read the first paragraph, and am about to read the rest.

But until them, I have what is a very very lame comment, however it came to mind without my trying, so authenticity demands I say it.

Obama reminds me more of a-lot-of-camels than camelot. That is an aside to your point, does not negate it. OK back to reading, possibly with apologies for distracting from the point.

Trump is breaking the mold, that is for sure.

He has also broken the strangehold of the Cheap Labor Express on the GOP.

That was great! I admired Jackie for how gracious she was, her smile, and with Nancy, when she looked at Ronnie, you could just tell she saw no one but him...

Trump and Melania are going to be so great for Our Country, her style and manners and speaking foreign languages, and Trump and his wit, he is very witty at times, but his strength, the way it is, the ‘street fighter’ attitude...

I watched him in Mexico, he has that look and then a smile and a hand shake, but don't under estimate him, he can bite like a ‘viper’ but give you all he has the next minute...

Do we HAVE to wait until Nov. 8th??? Can't we just go into the White House and jerk the twits out and clean and fumigate the place and put Trump in now??? Please tell me we can!!!

Thank you for your article...it was great!!!

The left always thinks of itself as the protectors of the “little guy” but they’re far from it. The deplorables are the white working class people of this country, traditionally the backbone of the Democratic Party. Today those people are hicks, rubes, “white” trash, Nazis, bigots, homophobes, people possessed of an IQ of less than 60, and living in flyover country. We talk about what Dems do and say about blacks who dare to leave their plantation. I guess we’re seeing what happens when white working class people decide to ditch them too. The Democrat Party of today is a disgrace to everything great that is American. They are dishonest, corrupt, intolerant and filled with hate and rage over any difference in opinion that doesn’t jive with their thinking.

I’m sure we have been around for awhile. Trump is sincerely wanting to get the corruption stopped.

We see now that it goes back to 1988. The kids don’t have a clue.

Trump has been groomed for this without even knowing for most of his life.

What scares me the most is all the foundations feeding the money to corrupt every institution in our nation.

The media and hollywood is quite blatant.

Trump is a severe threat to all of it.

Moreover, it should be remembered that it became the so called Camelot several years, maybe 10 years, after the assassination.

Yep think you're pretty much dead on.

Couple qualifiers about Trump being a business man, which is different from just being a 'capitalist' which these days includes financiers who produce nothing.

So he's a businessman distinct from just being a capitalist - he's a producer - of buildings - stone, steel and dirt ... which is why he's a blue collar guy. When the masonry sucks, it's on him as well as his mason. Also ... he's a NEW YORK business man. People from NYC don't flinch when he speaks as he does.

I think you make a good point that he is changing what America thinks of as good/acceptable presidential style. It's actually way more in tune with the rugged individualists - and producers before they were politicians - who founded the country.

But for the liberals ... anything but authenticity is all that matters.
