Thanks for bumping this thread. I see that the battle lines were drawn early!

It's a amazing to look back as these threads from 2015 and early 2016. It sure makes it easy to spot the frauds and those with really bad judgement.

Not beating my own drum, but at one time I was paid to assess or attempt to establish the credibility of certain individuals. So it's likely I had a bit of a leg up. From my perspective the man came off as genuine, forthright, confident, with legitimate deep concern for the direction of the country and those with bad intentions who had been calling the shots for decades. He appeared very real, personable and had a great sense of humor which I believe is a good character trait.

He stepped far over the establishment line with that speech. Way beyond the typical canned messages from corrupt politicians we've all been jaded by. Not to mention the fact he didn't have to do any of this. He knew full well after that speech he and his family, friends and associates would instantly become a prime targets of the entire D.C. establishment, every agency spook and their mouth piece media, the Hollywood cesspool, corrupt foreign leaders on the payroll, etc. He had to know the closer he got to the nomination the bigger target he'd become. And that's exactly what happened. I also felt he came across as an extremely savvy individual, as even his timing on the national political stage during that period was remarkable and pretty much perfect in my opinion.

I'm glad so many others felt the same way on election day! That's what counted.

Btw, thanks.
