Nice snappy phrases but what is your point?

Johnny Horton Battle of New Orleans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL7XS_8qgXM

In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississippi
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans

We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We looked down the river and we seed the British come
And there must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
We stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing

We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

I’m a Cruz guy. Having said that, at least the Donald is no McCain or Romney or Dole and he can’t be worse than Hillary.

The Donald ain't no Andy Jackson.

Of course not. The Donald can get his own screen name, say, how about, perhaps he could try, oh, "the Donald," just to be his own man for a change and not pretend to be something he is not pretending to be.

You see, there are at least two false premises in your headline, 1.) that Trump has portrayed himself somehow as Andrew Jackson - which is utter defamation on your part - since he has done no such thing, or 2.) that Trump should be Andrew Jackson, but falls short.

Well men are a product of their genes and their upbringing, but they are also a product of their time, place and other circumstance. Andrew Jackson was a good man for the problems facing the US in the early 19th century. But we need someone who is president to solve the ills of the early 21st century. Whoever that is it isn't Andrew Jackson.

What he will actually do with his possible or likely Presidency is a complete black box. The grandstanding may conceal nefarious doings below the bleachers

Do you think Obama was not a complete blackbox whose grandstanding conceals nefarious dealings below. How about McConnel, Boehner, Ryan on "our" side of the table. Do you think Jebbie is not a complete blackbox or any of the other RINOs. They don't even know what nefarious doings will be going on below until the democrats tell them who they are to betray next for their pieces of silver.

Moreover, Trumps speeches are filled with things he says he is going to do. And one thing that we do know about Donald is that the evidence is that when he sets out to do something, he gets it done and he has a string of buildings in his wake to prove that.

This is a long-winded way of saying what major-Pelham said so succinctly, "you have no point." My point is not only to prove him right, but to prove that from what you say and what you think and what you believe you cannot get to a point, not one that logically flows from the facts.

$20 is small potatoes. Trump is going for the $10,000!

How many voters are pondering in the back of their minds whether Trump is the return of Old Hickory?
