“He [Trump] is also a celebrity, and he is charming. And to the people who like him, they think he’s funny. To a great many others, they don’t. And so when he is finished, and he will be finished, they’re going to have to go looking for someone who can deliver the message that he delivered with the same kind of charisma. And they don’t have that.”

That's where you are wrong, George. Unlike Democrats, we don't give a rat's ass about 'charisma' or 'popularity'. That's High-school and college frat stuff. We care about the nation and our children's and grandchildren's future. We don't care if the person is ugly as a warthog as long as he or she can deliver the results we want...................

My wife and I find Trump's gold toilet seats and such incredibly gaudy. He has some approaches that can make you cringe. His marital issues over the years is not to be encouraged, yet, his kids have turned out pretty well.

We know it takes a completely different person that won't necessarily be 100%, or even 80%, what we want, but even 75% solid on everything else in common with us is everything. We, as a country, so need to reverse what we can, to get somewhat back on track.

Trump's persona is different than he is. He is a much more down-to-earth person than his outward persona shows. This is what is actually communicated to people who support him.

The gaudy “flash” is for the consumption of those it influences.

Acting. The only profession where you can make multiple mistakes over and over and over again again while on the job and still not get fired.

People look for results. Talk is cheap.

It almost seems like Clooney is unaware of the existence of either JD Vance or Marco Rubio. Trump has been creating men out of boys. That is how you pass the baton so you’re not a one-song wonder.
