A summary of political aspects you might find of interest; but first a note that I've yet to see anyone bring up.
In an unusually respectful interview between CNN host Don Lemon and Donald Trump, there was a moment when Lemon paused and thoughtfully asked if Trump was prepared to lose a significant amount of his wealth over his 'controversial' Muslim policy statement to pause immigration.
The response from Trump was not covered nor discussed, but it speaks volumes to understanding the candidate. He simply replied: none of that matters, none of that money matters, what I’m doing is trying to make America Great again…
In essence, a literal modern version of putting his life, his fortune and his sacred honor all on the line – for us.
No candidate has worked harder in the past six months to earn support. No candidate has held as many campaign events; no candidate has held as many rallies; no candidate has drawn tens of thousands to each – day in, and day out, without pause, rest or concern.
Donald Trump is, quite simply, working his ass off for this.
And the American electorate are aware and appreciative. A Reuters/IPSOS poll today shows how strong the support for Donald Trump is:
Support that is unfailingly strong.
People can see how hard Trump is working. The electorate can feel the connection he is putting forth for the best interests of America above his own best interests.
This is a remarkable revolution; and I’ll be the first to admit I fully entered with skepticism of Trump’s motive – but those thoughts are completely gone. Watching how he is working day and night to put his message out, to build his coalition, to unite Americans around a very simple commonality of America First – it’s quite inspiring.
All reservations of Trump’s intent have entirely evaporated. He’s in this for one reason, and one reason only, To Make America Great Again.
And people all over have responded with the same level of intensity and severity. CBS hired political pollster Frank Luntz to try out various attack ads against Donald Trump. What he found was absolutely incredible.
After three hours of a constant barrage of negative ads, no-one flinched in their support for Trump. Heck, it actually GREW.
Good post!
Sundance may be a drip but he nailed this:)
Trump is working his a$$ off and I fully believe he’s doing it to make America Great again.
Like I said, you’d rather just bitch about it. It’s all in what you’re used to.
I'd rather bitch about it than kiss some blogger's butt.
He has nothing to gain other than a better country, something we all want but he is willing and able to go all in for.
Selective in your butt kissing, are you?
Aren't you?
Surely you don't kiss every diseased and drippy blog butt you see?
Royalist? Do you mean Loyalist?
Exactly, he’s got nothing to gain but much to lose.
I understand the millions he’s spending is small potatoes to him but though he’s rallied millions of Americans to his cause he’s made a number of enemies, and some very dangerous. There’s a very good reason he had his own security and now has the Secret Service protecting him.
Yes, sorry, hit the wrong key and didn’t catch it.
You brought up butt kissing, it’s your fantasy.
Personally, I’m not in to it, it’s all yours.
Great post. Thanks!
You don’t promote blogs, with stolen re-written material?
How about politicians? Or media figures?
No butt-kissing at all? Really?
Surely you have pressed your lips onto the ass of at least one such.
Shall we search or will you recant?
Ole Chesty said it best...
Search, you obsessed twit. Make up more fantasies to entertain yourself.
Chesty Puller was absolutely right. It’s a shame we don’t have a few just like him leading the military now but one guy running for president is close and we need him.
Search for some winkle-wankle blog weenie?
Naw, you go ahead with that.
You’ll likely profit thereby.
“Sundance”.
Yeah.
More fantasies. Pathetic.
Trump likes Patton, so there’s no doubt he’d like Puller.
If he becomes CiC, he may well seek out that kind of General. To the benefit of all of us and the country.
