the fact he identifies trump as a reality TV star with a “spotty” business record explains a lot. no wonder they are surprised and continually wrong.......
next they will probably criticize Trump for setting a 4% goal or target for economic growth.....”a goal? whats that? never saw a candidate set a goal before.....”
YES!
Trump is getting better. The Queen Of America is having a meltdown. She is going to inspire too many people to bother to go and vote in November.
The author used the analogy of a baseball batter.
In business Trump was put out three times. That means he not only batted .700 in business; he scored .700.
See, it’s all in how you look at things. Edison, Einstein, Lincoln ... all great people had failures. It is what you do with the failure that counts.
Lowrey is a late-to-the-game idiot.
Lousy Lowry facing reality. pffft.
Hoover (who lost to FDR in 1932) is still remembered, as is Thomas Dewey (who lost to FDR in 1944--but Dewey is primarily remembered for losing to Truman in 1948 when everyone thought he would win).
Does anyone remember the men FDR beat in 1928 and 1930 when he won the New York gubernatorial elections?
In 1928 he beat Albert Ottinger, NY Attorney General, by a mere 26,000 votes out of well over 4 million votes cast.
In 1930 he beat Charles H. Tuttle handily (the Depression had already started, plus Tuttle got hammered over trying to have it both ways on the Prohibition issue).
Alf Landon was the loser in the 1936 election--he is sometimes remembered simply because it was so overwhelming (he carried only Maine and Vermont).
Great post. Thanx.
