If Trump does turn out to be a fraud, will you be claiming that you knew he would be or will you be very quiet?

That's something I don't even have to give a moments thought to.

Unlike the other candidates, Trump has an enviable track record going back decades.

One of the keys to Trumps tremendous success has been a very simple rule; "Keep the promises made during the sale".

That simple rule is so important to Trump that he repeated it during his Foreign Policy speech, and again during his ‘First 100 Days’ interview with the New York Times.

He's going to deliver.

——Rank-and-file INS officers are champing at the bit to do their jobs.-——

No doubt about that....

I was talking in terms more generally as in your typically DC beauacrat having a paper pushing no value desk job employed for life as long as they toe the ideological line and don’t vote republican....

About 95 % of them....

I am not sure. I mean, I know Trump poses a threat to their positions as “power brokers” etc. But consider the dweebs like Jim Geraghty and Jonah Goldberg at National Review: will they lose their jobs? No. Will the consultants no longer consult to GOPe losers? No, they will continue.

Yes, a bunch of people who rely on cheap labor might be in trouble-—but will the CEOs lose their jobs? I doubt it.

I hate to be a downer, but he’s failed a few times in that regard. He promised to get good financing for Casinos in Atlantic city but for the first time the banks blackballed him and he ended up using junk bonds that ultimately cost him the Casinos when there was a major down turn.

He’s learned a lot since then, but one of the major downsides of being a guy with endless self confidence is sometimes biting off too much. I expect their a lot of things he won’t be able to get done, but things he does get done will make a huge difference for us.

Well, I’m not so ‘in the tank’ to think he’s going to be able to do everything, but I’m convinced he’s going to actually do all the big ones, Wall, Trade, ObamaCare, Islamists, ISIS, etc.

The smaller ones I’m convinced he is going to fight like hell for, even in the face of defeat, and he’ll manage to pull off a reasonable victory.

Happily, perfect is not necessary, only pretty good.

He should not say it like that. How about this ——

For all of you who have been dependents on the Democrat plantation, for all of you who have lived without the hope of a future, for all of you who have lived at the poverty level being thrown scraps, for all of you who can’t find a good job — THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE. We are going to bring jobs back to this country. We are going to make sure that your job is not taken by someone who shouldn’t be here. We are going to establish business partnerships with minority entrepreneurs and change the inner cities. If you work with the police, rather than see them as the enemy, businesses and jobs will come and your lives will be better. If you play by the rules and work hard, you will have a future.

Although is the nominee, I’m not taking anything he says seriously, until after he does it. If he indeed starts fighting for his promises, then I will take him seriously.

Me too, dammit. Because if there's ANYONE who needs to be taken seriously it's you, dammit. Dammit anyway!!

Jennifer Fields and Ben Shapiro have already lost their jobs. National Review may not go away, and neither may Glen Beck, but they have severely damaged their brand and will lose a lot of their audience. So will radio hosts. Not every mid level advisor will lose their job, but working for Bush or Romney is a detriment, not a plus.

I hope to see shiploads of inferior china made steel, rebar and pipe being turned around at sea and sent back.
At the very least there must be a very determined examination and stringent quality control on key products.

Why are we building our bridges with crapola chinese steel?

Tax the daylights out of it all untill they improve the quality, of which i think is fundamentally impossible for them to comprehend.

You asked a good question about Trump turning out to be a fraud. Can I weigh in? Should that happen he will have ALL the enraged people who supported him turn that rage ON him and he should fear a rebellion and overthrow. I would fully support that. He would be the President who caused the people to finally be motivated enough to take back the government.

That would be my hope too. I want to believe he is serious as well, but these billionaires in ivory towers dong have qualms about using abusing regular folk for the fun of it.

He could just retire when the race is over, if he is indeed working for her, without consequence. This whole thing wouldn’t have cost much more than what most of us might spend for a weekend in Vegas in terms of a proportion of our assets.

Yeah, it's really, really tough to take Trump seriously.

The dozens of hotels, office buildings, convention centers, and golf courses are just smoke and mirrors.

The bueacratic machine in DC will not give up easily..

There are 94 million non-working-Americans who might help take their place. Early step for Trump: change the lifelong nature of government jobs.

Remember that book, What's the Matter with Kansas? by Thomas Frank?

Maybe now that elites are worried about their jobs, their lives and place in the world we should 'help them' like they wanted to help us...

We could have someone send the an extra sixty buck a month for a year...

Maybe James Carille and Mary Matalin could come up with ways to distribute the money.

All that shows is his commitment to his shareholders. It’s less of a stake if he doesn’t follow through politically.
