You brought up the IQ question. I responded. Don't like it? Too bad! BTW, I have friends who have IQs in excess of 200 and they don't support Trump at this stage either, if they ever will. 163 is not bragging, whatever it may seem like from your perch.

The folks "who brag about how much money they have" might include one apparently unprincipled real estate tycoon running for high office as we type. Personally, I have never questioned Trump's wealth. Do you?

I do question what amounts to bribery of public officials, legal or not, as a "cost of doing business." I can just imagine what that suggests as to his posture in the face of US Chamber of Crony Commerce, K Street and Wall Street and GOP-E pressure to lower their taxes, not ours, bring in more Latin American wage slaves to improve the old corporate bottom line. I do question the complete non-participation of Trump in the conservative movement as a credential of one who now adopts a number of conservative agenda items and ignores many others. He is not an actual conservative, but he must have stayed at Holiday Inn last night.

Personally, I am betting that most Trump supporters will not still be here after he starts an "independent" candidacy to elect his old pal, the Arkansas Medusa, and put her, ummm, consort Slick Willie back in the White House with a renewed corps of young interns to keep him busy while Shrillery and Huma Abedin are, ummmm, otherwise occupied.

How many of those whom verga accurately references as "Strumpettes" were Willardettes in 2012 and want to do it all over again? Isn't that what was meant by the definition of insanity being doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? Rest well!

My goodness, you have landed in a prickly patch on fouled ground tonight. The discourse around here at night, I’ve noticed, falls exponentially with every passing hour!

I hate to see the Trump crowd turn tacky from nerves when faced with thoughtful and sensible points to ponder, from someone (you), whose personal political experience turns the rest of us into dwarfs.

I will have none of it. It got every bit this nasty during the McCain race, over Palin. I swore I would never behave in such a ridiculous manner.

And Romney had his radicals around here lecturing us to this day about his loss. He led a life straight as an arrow by most standards, but his words were scatter shot and in direct conflict to his career as governor of Mass.

Now comes Trump, whose life of opulence and staggering wealth never did quite remove the New York streets out of the kid, who became a man. Who knows what Trump’s life experiences will mean going forward. He has more past that was liberal than ever was “conservative”. He may fold on us if he chooses, or if he thinks he is really going all the way with this thing, he may arrange a stumble.

I don’t think anyone will stop him but himself, because we are all already braced for the play book to be thrown at him and coming soon. Short of murder, can it destroy his lead and kill his candidacy? I certainly hope not. We need said what he alone is saying, and in the manner only he and the good General P. can deliver.

I am watching him on a few things that I won’t go into, but there is no other that impresses me to this extent, and certainly none whom I believe can win a general election.

The evangelicals running are in a bad age to hope for victory in these times, for that reason alone. Honestly, I believe a secular candidate is our last chance to slip through the lines and regain the White House. Is that not the saddest state of affairs to have to repeat out loud for this once great country?

Best to you, dear Black Elk. Keep on delivering your wisdom and experience, Elky. Ignore the kids with a glass in their hands. We need a dose of enlightenment to clean up the place you know. :) Rita
