Kasparov would be quite offended by your using him in Trump’s cause. Read his Op-Ed in the New York Daily News about what he thinks of Trump for hiring Paul Manafort (whose efforts temporarily overcame the Orange Revolution in Ukraine and returned that country to communist rule briefly). Kasparov knows whereof he speaks as a former subject of soviet totalitarianism, however honored as a chess champion before he defected. Kasparov speaks from principle and does not worship the unprincipled Manhattan god of ignorance with plaster feet. So not only can Kasparov’s actual beliefs be safely ignored but they can be distorted in service to Trump Almighty whose salivating supporters simply do not care about moral distinctions or conservative principles.

What's Trump supposed to do? Let the GOPe game the system to cheat him out of the nomination? You'd like that. Trump was being robbed so he hired a gunslinger to take on the beltway bandits. Politics ain't beanbag.

What I like about Trump is when the establishment pulls a fast one he doesn't let good manners prevent him from hitting back. Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney preferred civility to victory. I'm done with that BS. Civility can pound sand. I want victory.

Dear elk,
Im a Cold War veteran, amd have worked with Soviet Ukrainian defectors.

I remember following, and discussing with these folks, Kasparov’s chess history, and i proved i could hold my own on the chessboard.

You might not like Trump, but Cruz has been in the Senate long enough to lose his political virginity, and is part of the problem.
