And what, precisely, would Trump do to change the way the game is played in Washington? He held liberal positions on most issues for most of his life. He now claims to be conservative. But one thing that hasn't changed is the claim to be a deal-maker par excellence. And the scattering of establishment Republicans moving his way say they are doing so precisely because they think they can cut deals with Trump, who they view as untutored on the issues and therefore malleable, while Cruz is too rigid (if you dislike him) or too principled (if you like him).
"Let's make a deal" is not exactly a sea-change in the way Washington does business, especially when it comes from someone who has been a chameleon on the issues.
I know, I know -- he's self-financing his campaign and saying supportive things about liberal campaign finance schemes, so he's not beholden to contributors. This should alarm anyone who understands the freedom of speech issues at stake and the left's war on the first amendment, as well as anyone who doesn't think self-financing billionaires should have a monopoly on high political office.
The average worth, not including Trump, of the contenders is about 3 million dollars (Forbes).
The last thing I want to see in the white house is yet another lawyer.
How can you tell when a lawyer is lying? The fact is, that is exactly what they get paid to do. Therefore, they are all liars. All things being equal then, I want a non-politician.
The reason Trump is dominating world media is because his platform is anti-political.
Or more accurately, anti-globalist political.
It has come down to this.
Pretty much all of the politicians are Globalists.
No borders.
No nations.
No countries.
No national identities.
No cultural identities.
No historical identities.
No freedom to protect ones self and family.
No freedom of speech.
No freedom of thought.
No freedom to keep wages earned.
Trump says yes to all of the above.
Trump stands for sanity. Any politician who stands against borders, as witnessed in Europe-istan, does not care if their citizens are robbed, raped, and murdered.
They do not care.
In fact, they encourage it.
Trump is the last hope to maintain the flickering light of freedom.
He is far from perfect. Perfection always requires time, and time is what we do not have.
We must deploy the Trump bomb.
There will be collateral damage, but it must be deployed now.
