A fervent repetition of an assumption is not making a case.
If Mark Levin was an idiot he’d sound just like this guy (but Mark isn’t!).

Don’t recommend listening to this to anyone who holds a grudge...

So in The Art of the Deal Trump says he’s not a patriot, he doesn’t love the USA, and he wants America to just keep on losing?

The is straight from “The Art of the Deal” regarding negotiations:

“The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration - and a very effective form of promotion.”

When I read this, I realized what was going on. The man’s trolling.

Steve Deace once stated he doubted if Sarah Palin wrote her own speeches.

I suspect this because of all the Dem donations, the closeness to the Clintons and Bill Clinton encouraging him to run for president. I quite wary of him.

Sorry Park, but your guy Cruz just doesn't measure up. Maybe in a few years he'll be ready, provided he's no longer owned by his donors!

You know, you’ve been saying this for months and just because you say this over and over again doesn’t make it true because you have nothing to back it up. The truth is Cruz is polling fine in a crowded field and is beginning to surge. The numbers specify that.

And when Van Der Plaats and the Family Leader come out and endorse Cruz tomorrow morning (11am), the race in IA will be over. There are rumors that Ben Carson is considering suspending his campaign before the debate Tuesday night and the Carson campaign have canceled over $350K in scheduled ads that were to appear in IA/SC after the debate next week. There were also reports of the Huck camp becoming aware of the endorsement and trying to push poll negative phone ads against Cruz in IA. They know.

When Cruz gets the endorsement tomorrow. IA will be his to lose.

I’m sure when Sarah was being handled by the McCain bunch she didn’t write her own speeches.

I find it refreshing that Trump is listening,(trolling) to what we Americans are saying instead of just listening to the media and GOPe.

Clearly you do not like Trump.

Who is your candidate of choice?

“Whether he also believes what he’s saying or is flat out lying, I don’t know.”

He believes in what he is saying, because what he says comports with his beliefs and behavior since he straightened up his life in the prep school military academy. He’s judicious about how much he says and when he says it and he makes mistakes, but he is very shrewd among politicians who are basic bumblers, political cowards, and/or self deluding ignoramuses when it comes to understanding the world Simply put, Trump has far more common sense than his opponents and exercises more good judgment in applying that knowledge.

I play to people's fantasies.

I was at a seminar for work years ago and listening to a guy speak on sales techniques. He said that he lets the customer create their own fantasy product in their own mind so they're eager to buy and too sheepish to complain if they aren't happy with what they get.

He said it was what you do with your one and done throwaway customers who were never going to be big buyers anyway.

It’s not that I don’t like Trump. I think he is terrific on reality tv shows. I have also sung Trump’s praises numerous times on certain things — including the Muslim ban. I just can’t believe anything he says because his past statements are there.

Cruz or lose!

Everything Trump says is designed to make Trump president. He doesn't believe anything he says, his statements are all contrived. Trump is that easy to understand.

So he is running like every other Republican. And looking at what 2010 and 2014 got us, he shouldn't be casting stones.

I have said numerous time that Cruz might have a chance to win Iowa. From there he has nowhere to go. He is polling about 7% in NH. So forget that one. Trump is running away in SC. Trump also has Fl about sewn up. Where do you realistically see Cruz winning any primaries? I’m not seeing it except for maybe if Trump leaves the race. That’s not happening. Its just pie in the sky.

There is one thing that does worry me about Trump. If he announced tomorrow “Hahaha, I’m only kidding. I can’t believe you fell for it — I’m ending my campaign now thank you for the laughs” -—— then I would not be overly surprised.
