Despite being a billionaire, he understands real people in a way none of the others seems to have an affinity for.

“...a shallow grasp of policy, “

Yeah, because policy is so tough and all... Ever since Barbara Streisands stupid question I’ve been wondering WHAT this “policy” is and why so many seem to think it requires a a big giant brain to grasp.

They can’t hear a sound unless it is spoken to them by a lobbyist with a check

Wow! That is a money quote right there!

Very true.

Conservatism has been a spectacular failure at conserving anything. Every single last thing that the liberals have wanted, culturally speaking, they have gotten. There is not a single thing in which people like Ted Cruz have successfully held back the tide.

Maybe they are not oblivious...

They know exactly what the right thing to do is. Their "mysterious" behavior is that of people who are bought and paid for. No mystery.

To hear Mitch McConnell publicly badmouth DJ Trump is obvious proof, IMO.

The way things are these days, events which are out of his control would tend to work in his favor. He positioned himself in the right place to benefit from them.

That's what I mean. He talked about Islamic terrorism, and everyone tried to separate himself from him. But muslims are muslims, and the odds that they would have a terrorist attack before the primaries were over was probably 100%. When they struck in Paris, he was the only one that benefited, everyone thought, "Trump is right," and all the other candidate's statements to separate themselves from him hurt themselves. Events with immigrants and muslims just kept proving his statements correct.

I'd like to see a chart of his popularity with the terrorist attacks and the murders by immigrants labeled on the chart.

To: Albion Wilde; All

Donald Trump did more in a week than I and many like me were ever able to accomplish with the immigration crisis.

Know why?
He is a great listener!

Evidently the ONLY one in politics today, other than Jeff Sessions, willing to put his ASS on the line to tell you the truth!

He LISTENS...and evidently he listened in 2004, during the debates of the presidential race when Bob Shieffer of CBS stated that the most questions he got from the PUBLIC to ask the candidates was about......WAIT FOR IT...

IMMIGRATION!

2004!

THAT is how long we have all been ignored, until Donald Trump!

SCHIEFFER: Let’s go to a new question, Mr. President, I got more e-mail this week on this question than any other question. And it is about immigration.

(PS....if you really want to see what phonies both Bush and Kerry were, take a look at their answers in that debate to the ONE immigration question! http://www.debates.org/index.php?page=october-13-2004-debate-transcript

But it’ll be different with Trump, of course.
