And after your hired guy has come and gotten rid of the raccoon, what do you want this guy to take care of next?
You want this guy to go away now that he has served his purpose and definitely don’t want him to be making decisions that affect other parts of your household that aren’t associated with pest elimination.
Vote Cruz for President, Hire Trump to build that wall with a TINY door.
You certainly nailed it for me.
All I can say is LISTEN to what Trump is saying, rather than assume he’ll do what you want him to. He is telegraphing his intentions.
There was more than just one consideration. Did the exterminator help the raccoons enter in the first place? Is the exterminator going to let them apply for readmission? These are all questions that should be pondered. Other than that though I have no answer for you.
He’s a salesman selling himself. He hasn’t shown he is capable of exterminating the raccoons, he just tells us he is. I’m not convinced.
Trump: “Yes, there is a team. There’s not a team. I’m going to be forming a team. I have met with far more than three people, and I will be forming a team at the appropriate time.”
except your exterminator is already starting to waver on issues...so he might just give you the bill and decide those raccoons aren’t such a big deal. because after all, the exterminator has, for most of his life, actually belonged to and paid dues to the group that supports “raccoons unlimited”
You just let loose a pack of coonhounds down there. Patriotic hounds who know their duty, and will not waiver.
One hound wouldn’t make it, send many.
The trouble is that the man you wish to hire, is part raccoon. In the past, he’s given the racoons food. He has demonstrated over and over how he can fit in with raccoons.
In the end, he is pretty comfortable in working with the raccoons. He is pretty comfortable making accept a few raccoons here and there.
If the alternative is a “super”raccoon, I guess you can be satisfied with the person you hired.
Another analogy is that we have decided that we don’t want the GOPe to rule over the Party or us. They won’t leave voluntarily, so it is necessary to have a coup (bloodless, of course). Now, who here thinks that you can hire Caspar Milquetoast to be the leader of the coup? Not me, that’s for sure - I KNOW that whomever it would be, he’d be a bit rough around the edges...and like the raccoon guy, I don’t care one whit. In fact, the more different he is than those guys in the GOPe, the better - much more schaedenfreude.
Couldn't help but wonder if it originated with the Neo-Nazis that pop up on occasion to keep Idaho in the news.
Let’s take your analogy one step further: As part of the contract for having this guy clear out the raccoons, you must also sign a provision that allows him to upgrade your foundation. He might use an innovative and experimental new foundation enhancement material that can cause unexpected and violent shifts in the elevation of random sections of the foundation, but it will be great, trust me! You sure you want this guy?
And then you find out that Trump and some of his fellow travelers were the ones that put the raccoons in your basement to begin with.
Then what?
My problem with Trump is populism. His followers, and that’s what they are, are like Obama’s. Blinded by populism. While he may be great, I don’t know how he will govern, there is something about populist politicians that history has shown to be rather dangerous. I don’t want a president that will have the power to ‘get things done’ or carries a pen and phone. We have that already. I want a president that will do the minimum required and stop the massive growth of government intrusion. I like Cruz. I judge Cruz by how hated he is in the Senate and HOR. He has all the right enemies.
But if Trump is the nominee, I will vote for him.
