--- the great salesman-statesman ... not only intimately understands the product he is selling (himself), he also has a deeply instinctual understanding of his customer (voters). ---

What happens when his customer base changes in the general?

He's spoken positively about socialized medicine in the past...

Not so much anymore.

I only wish Trump had run in 2012.

BINGO !

I've been likening Trump to the successful sales manager all along

Everything about politics is salesmanship ...

The product, the presentation, handling objections and the close

and Donald Trump knows his product and sells it by letting you sell yourself

Do you WANT it in green ?

I need your OK right here ... !


As a matter of fact, every piece of trouble we're in today is the result of good salesmanship

the salemen sold a particular (powerful) prospect, who bought and the salesman expected the sold prospect to cloverleaf FOR him


Brilliant

I would ad [sic] that it is mainly Pubbies who see politics as marketing & sales.

The Democrats (and GOPe) see politics as turf-war. Winning is what validates their existence.

No, deception. There is a difference.

Trump is a politician if not an insider. As a politician he is also a salesman and the product he sells is himself. What makes Trump so popular is his ability to close the deal which he is always doing with his perspective customers (the general public).

diversion is not deception, but the argument is circular

I think we're all in the same book, just not on the same page

:: making the sale is winning ::

If that is true then free-markets and capitalism are doomed “to the dust bin of history”.

11 years experience as an in-home, cemetery salesman ... commission only

I guaranTEE that making the sale that pays a week's wage IS winning

It's just as much time, as much work, but more lonely and frustrating than punching a clock for 40 plus hours

monkeys punch clocks, salesmen are mental gymnasts
