“Dealer” is simply an anagram on “leader”.
To lead, you first have to capture the imaginations of the majority, and if nothing else, The Donald has certainly done that. Who else is ANYBODY talking about this morning?
The direction in which he wants to lead is of greater concern to me than how good a leader he is, and I don’t trust him on that.
Obama captured the imagination of the majority. The ludicrous idea that two people of the same sex can be married has seemed to capture the minds of the majority. At various times the so-called right to kill your baby has captured the minds of the majority. As wrong as the majority seems to be so often these days I think it seems more just to be in the minority.
For anyone else, Trump hasnt walked away some triumphant hero. He pouted because Megyn Kelly was going to be a moderator again, went to Twitter to ask his loyal subjects whether or not he should show up, got upset at Fox News’s response to that, took his ball because people were being mean to him and he might not get his way, sulked off and went home. Now he wants to try to use wounded veterans to prove some perverse point.
Now I will say that indeed he is the type who might be willing to walk away from the table when need be. After all, if the Iranians or the Chinese were to insult him, I have little doubt that he would immediately leave the negotiating table, take to Twitter, and furiously declare them to be losers and idiots.
