I will say one thing for Massie, he came up with the following bit of political analysis that I believe rings true:

“I went to Iowa twice and came back with [Ron Paul]. I was with him at every event for the last three days in Iowa,” Massie said. “From what I observed, not just in Iowa but also in Kentucky, up close with individuals, was that the people that voted for me in Kentucky, and the people who had voted for Rand Paul in Iowa several years before, were now voting for Trump. In fact, the people that voted for Rand in a primary in Kentucky were preferring Trump.

“All this time,” Massie explained, “I thought they were voting for libertarian Republicans. But after some soul searching I realized when they voted for Rand and Ron and me in these primaries, they weren’t voting for libertarian ideas — they were voting for the craziest son of a bitch in the race. And Donald Trump won best in class, as we had up until he came along.

He’s got a point. We have needed people NOT of the norm to change corrupt paradigms we had gotten used to in our lives. Promises had always been made and we were used to them always being broken for one “reason” or another, leaving us in despair.

We have need Trump to take the lead and actually “do.”

We had forgotten what “do” could really mean.

In “Trump Talk,” that would be “Promises Made, Promises Kept,” and a laundry list of those got done, regardless of the Democrats, Republicans, MSM, and Deep State relentlessly attacking.

That is an excellent anecdote.
