Jim: thought you mighy enjoy this comment.

GG:

You are in for a treat.

That said, I laugh nervously because he is so frighteningly authentic...and so typically insecure.

He's from Jamaica Estates Queens. The well-to-do neighborhood of Queens. But still a very down-to-earth place.

Ordinary...ethnic.

A million light years from Manhattan.

When I lived in Manhattan a million years ago, there was an old saying that the greatest distance on earth was that from the "outer boroughs" (i.e. Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, Staten Island) to Manhattan.

I was a hick from South Georgia who spent my career on Wall St. I know it is easier to go from a small town in So GA to Wall St than from the outer boroughs.

Southerners are naturally dignified...Outer Boroughs folks, not so much.

Which is why Trump registers with ordinary folks.

Trump isn't just ordinary, he's tacky. And folks like that. They forgive that...because he's not pretending to be someone he's not.

Like all REAL Noo Yawkers, he is the original article...what you see is what you get.

Well we just got back from beer and wings at Taco Mac’s with some dear friends. They are now Tump bots and we were all screaming about how its like the newest soap opera and you cannot wait for the next installment. My friend’s husband who a month ago at Taco Mac’s had said he was all in for Walker watched his announcement speech and said “what was I thinking” and went for Trump. His wife my BFF is from New York and a month or so ago she was not a big Trump fan. Now she’s all in for Trump. Its like a fever. And we are all four conservatives. Mr. GG2 and I were the first to go Trump but its amazing how many people he is winning over every day.

Nice deconstruction.

I thought it was hilarious when somebody saw Donald's Brooklyn-speaking Jewish lawyer on Hannity-----said they couldn't understand him----thought he was a "foreigner."
