Your grinding criticism of Trump's ego is losing piquancy.

I think you're right about the former posts having a certain piquancy, I think you are probably referring to this one among others:

"Trumps bankruptcies alone do make him 'unqualified' for the presidency.

The genius who believes he has mastered the art of the deal was told by many people before his bizarre investment in the Taj Mahal that the numbers simply could not work. Trump's megalomania and narcissism is so extreme that he simply would not listen to reason. He was the subject of an analyst's report which predicted bankruptcy for the Taj Mahal. Typically, Trump sued the analyst, caused him to be fired from his position, and then witnessed the Taj Mahal go bankrupt within months.

Donald Trump is not unqualified just for his bankruptcies and appalling business judgment alone but for his cruelty. His treatment of his tenants to evict them from his properties to in order to convert those properties was clearly cruel, and unlawful.

Donald Trump is not unqualified just for his bankruptcies or for his cruelty but for his associations with mafioso, convicted criminals, corrupt union officials, corrupt politicians, and even Democrats who have not yet been proved to be corrupt.

Donald Trump is not unqualified just for his bankruptcies or for his cruelty or for his associations alone but for his deceits. His outright misrepresentations concerning the quality of his buildings to prospective purchasers who have been misled and cheated with shoddy quality are notorious.

Donald Trump is not unqualified for his bankruptcies or his cruelty or his associations or his deceits alone but for his bullying of vulnerable people such as those he sought to deprive of their property by exploiting condemnation laws.

Donald Trump is not unqualified for his bankruptcies or his cruelty, or his associations, or his deceits, or his bullying alone, but for his boorishness, his grotesqueries, his endless puerile sexual innuendos.

Donald Trump is not unqualified for his bankruptcies or his cruelty, or his associations, or his deceits, or his bullying or his boorishness alone but for his sleaze. His participation in wrestling (yes wrestling!), Prize fighting, gambling, reality television, beauty pageants, and God knows what else.

Donald Trump is not unqualified for his bankruptcies or his cruelty, or his associations, or his deceits, or his bullying or his boorishness or his sleaze but for his exploitation of the vulnerable. Trump University was bunko from beginning to end and it cruelly exploited the very people it pretended to help. Profiteering of the vulnerable by a billionaire is beyond shameful.

Donald Trump as a human being is thoroughly unqualified for any position of power where ego, narcissism or greed might take the place of decency".

There's nothing whatsoever wrong with any of the above activities, in most reasonable Americans' minds.

They are all legal and highly successful forms of entertainment in modern American culture. The fact that none of them are your cup of tea doesn't make them sleazy, by any stretch of the imagination.

The fact that you would denigrate each of these activities, and then go on to cite them as some sort of disqualifying criteria regarding Donald Trump's Presidential bid, makes it seem like you are grasping at straws.

The same is true for many of your other stated reasons above.

When combined with your gratuitous sarcasm, I can't help but think that you're driving many undecided voters into the Trump camp.

Donald Trump simply isn't the diabolical entity against whom you so rabidly protest.

The flippant psychological diagnoses by which you attempt to insult Donald Trump really serve only to expose your own abject hysteria regarding the man.

I must confess that I find your ongoing tirades less and less compelling. Your dismissive demeanor completely misses the national phenomenon which is occurring, IMHO.

I believe that Donald Trump's heart is in the right place, as I do Ted Cruz's.

And there's no question that Trump has led the charge on some of the most important issues of this election cycle.

Trump's certainly not perfect, but I think he OR Ted Cruz would make a fine President.

Eventually, you will climb aboard the Trump Hype Train.

Meanwhile, keep yourself busy tilting at windmills...
