Only Trump has been heard. Not the grass roots I support Trump, but he is not really a grass roots candidate.
Truly not really. He’s just saying what the grass roots think they want to hear. He’s not a true conservative. Look at his ever changing positions. He’s a big business candidate who supports using big business loopholes. He’s for government interference when it favors him.
Yeah, he says things off the cuff, but he comes back and changes them if he's wrong.
You don't become as successful as Trump by treating people badly and not listening to them and taking good advice. Here is a quote from Art of the Deal, courtesy of ifinnegan. It is all anyone needs to know about Trump's judgement, and lack thereof.
I think of Jimmy Carter. After he lost the election to Ronald Reagan, Carter came to see me in my office. He told me he was seeking contributions to the Jimmy Carter library. I asked how much he had in mind. And he said, "Donald I would be very appreciative if you contributed 5 million dollars."
I was dumbfounded. I didn't even answer him.
But that experience also taught me something. Until then, I never understood how Jimmy Carter became president. The answer is that as poorly qualified as he was for the job, Jimmy Carter had the nerve, the guts, the balls, to ask for something extraordinary. That ability above all helped him get elected president. But then, of course, the American people caught on pretty quickly that Carter couldn’t do the job, and he lost in a landslide when he ran for reelection.
Ronald Reagan is another example. He is so smooth and so effective a performer that he completely won over the American people. Only now, nearly seven years later, are people beginning to question whether there’s anything beneath that smile.
I see the same thing in my business, which is full of people who talk a good game but don't deliver.
