Ever since Donald Trump entered the Republican presidential race, I've been a Trump-skeptic.
I understood his appeal. I got why angry and alienated Republican rank-and-file voters have glommed onto his campaign. And I could even sketch out a scenario in which Trump could win. Yet, even as his poll numbers rose and he seemed immune from the political pitfalls that usually fell first-time candidates, I couldn't quite buy the notion that Trump, former reality star and full-time blowhard, could be the Republican nominee for president. It all just seemed too far-fetched. Surely, at some point Trump would implode.
Those doubts ended Thursday night at the sixth Republican presidential debate. This is Trump's race to lose.
It's not just because this campaign seems to almost completely revolve around Trump or that every political attack seems to bounce right off of him; it's that he is remarkably good at politics.

Agree 100%
Saul Alinski article next? DO you even know one conservative?
Here’s a guy with 40 years chief executive experience, at the pinnacle of leadership, and they say he’s not qualified to be president.
If he isn’t, who in the sam heck is?
Leadership isn’t something you learn on the fly as president. You need to have led before.
The leadership skills of some of the other contenders are highly suspect.
Good one. More people are seeing the light.
He thinks judges write law.
This is really eating at you isn’t it.
She knows all the Trump supporters on the forum who recognize a leader in him.
His platform is Conservative.
If you wish to turn a blind eye to that, fine.
Don’t expect everyone to.
And it's politics -- not master debating skills -- that win elections.
We covered this what, four months ago.
What is the law of the land today?
Isn’t it that homosexual marriage is Constitutionally protected?
Look, I don’t like it. I think that is terribly wrong. If a body of men sit down and determine that, what happens if you go out and interfere with a gay marriage?
You’re going to be in trouble.
Until this is revisited, it is the law of the land.
There are a lot of laws on the books today that I detest.
Roe v Wade is one. Hasn’t that been accepted as the law of the land?
What would your suggestion be?
Well, our SC does, so what’s the problem?
Amen. The others just want the fame and glory to see their names in history books. None have had any executive experience, and most seem really dumb about economics.
He also like pork spending.
May be first POTUS in history needing a 9th grade Civics lesson.
She doesn’t bother me at all. Folks like you who should know better? Now that’s a different story. Trump is for Trump and if he wins he will jilt you at the altar sure as sh^t. And when that happens I hope you wake up.
Don’t be fooled by this article. The New York Times will publish a less than complimentary a series of articles about Trump’s personal life and business practices beginning in September. The Media will direct so much fire against Trump that either he burns to a crisp or comes out like a hardened diamond.
lol! I believe I knew that in the 7th grade. Trump didn’t know it as an adult man in his 60s.
No, they don’t.
Judges do not legislate.
Congress abdicated that responsibility, as they are cowards.
Cite the law, cite what is written, passed, enacted.
Truth is, nothing was.
