“Lending support” is a long way from endorsing, and nobody has yet done that with The Donald.
Do I like what The Donald is doing? Darned straight. He is ripping off the bandages plastered over festering wounds and exposing a LOT of corrupt practices to light, especially for the “low-information voter”. And because he does it boldly, without apology, and with enough grand or flamboyant manner, verve, style, flair or whatever, he is applauded with genuine admiration by a growing number of otherwise quite disparate factions.
Some call this populism, and it is. A parade was waiting to get formed up, a clearly defined and self-assured personality has stepped up to its head, setting a pace brisk and with great assurance. The bands strike up the march music, and the attraction is spread to the wider crowd which until now had only been standing on the sidelines, but gleefully joins in.
Of course, it is only prudent to glance back from time to time, to see if anybody is still there. If not, switch around to the front of wherever the procession is going.
You see The Art of the Deal in action.
He is a voice for the voiceless, and sadly that means that 67% of the public is voiceless.
Leadership abhors a vacuum.
Cattle stampede? Or steeple following. Ill take a good bull leading the Hurd anyway!
Boy is the western world in trouble.
The problem is that the herd will follow a sheep as readily. See Mitt Romney, John Bhoner or Turtlehead for details.
The herd just wants to be led. They care not where.
That it is.
You’re that familiar with heifers?
I’m a student of political history.
I don’t know if Trump would want to live there. It is definitely a few steps down for him.
The stampede to trash Trump is from all directions since he's bringing up issues that those from all directions agree on. He's threatening the GOPe donor's cheap labor and he's threatening the Dims' future voter recruitment drives. Plus other issues of Uniparty agreement.,
And he is doing good things. He also has a history and before the herd runs straight over the cliff it might be’hoove’ them to read it and UNDERSTAND it before making the leap.
If they find that tradeoff acceptable, so be it. There are worse candidates. But know what the man is before simply accepting happy words we love hearing, lest we have a repeat of the Pillars of Styro and hopenadchange of our own.
And thats on us, not Trump.
I am just enjoying the lather that the MSM is in, and especially the GOPe.
I’m not sure where things will stand after the debates, Trump acknowledges that he is no debater.
Do I think Trump is the leader of the Western World? No, currently, the Western World doesn’t have one.
I’m just grateful to Trump for making illegal immigration the focus of the race. There’s a long way to go yet, but I hope that issue will remain front and center.
They speak from every side of politics on the Internet, a large portion of some 40 million of them mostly from schools and government offices, and sometimes even their homes. A look at Internet statistics for political sites can be enlightening.
It does explain the demand for lesser evil voting.
