Why Donald Trump Didn't Run as a Democrat
Real clear politics ^ | July 21, 2015 | Carl Cannon

Posted on 07/21/2015 4:36:34 PM PDT by Sola Veritas

Maria Konnikova is not someone Donald Trump would typically describe as “a loser.” Fluent in Russian and English, she writes authoritatively on psychology and culture. Her work has appeared in prestigious publications ranging from The Atlantic to Scientific American. After graduating magna cum laude from Harvard, she received her Ph.D. in psychology from Columbia University.

Four years ago, Konnikova wrote a piece for a publication called Big Think, postulating that Trump’s perpetual boorishness is attributable to mental illness, specifically a condition called narcissistic personality disorder.

History professor Jelani Cobb, writing in The New Yorker, focused on another facet of The Donald’s persona. “[I]n all the ways that matter, save actual performing, Donald Trump is not a politician—he’s a rapper,” Cobb postulated. “If elected, he’s less likely to represent George W. Bush’s third term than Kanye West’s first one.”

Sarah Palin thinks Donald Trump is a hero!

...she is obviously evil too, right?

I'd just suggest trying to entertain (even a 1% chance) other options that he is not truly the evil man you think. It's big, very peculiar world.

None at the V see’s the Donalds money either.

He just tried to change that. Are you against that? Or do you support the rat trap hospitals the vets enjoy with your contributions?

LOL....

Before you prove the brain power that you have...maybe go back and read responses to posts.

You all whine about a lot less...yes, we were attacked by supposed Conservatives. It is a shame you are blind to that fact.

BTW, glad to know you have the monopoly on Vets issues.

"I will if that vile serpent steals the nomination. However, I won’t leave until I crack some heads and bloody some noses. IF you want to be a fool and support that evil buffoon on this forum, then you will have to contend with those of my ilk. If you like “plain speaking Donald Duck,” then hang on. I will provide you with “plain speaking.”

Those of your "ilk" can pound sand.

LOL. Wow, spoken by someone who knows me so well.

You really are bright, aren’t you?

Again, it must be nice to be the only one who is so pro-Vet on this page.

Kudos to you.

“Mexico, UN, CNN, Univision, NBC, Columbia, drug kingpins, Communist, D.C., and assorted American hating leftist academia very much agree with you.”

That is nonsense. Trump is NEVER - except with meaningless verbiage - ever going to do anything about any of those organizations. Trump is entirely all talk, those people don’t hate him. In fact, most of them are quietly laughing that so many fools are falling for Trump’s rhetoric.

Besides, it would not surprise me in the least if it were to be discovered that Trump has interests in the illegal drug trade and other criminal organizations. Numerous times in history have the truly evil destroyed their own cronies to protect themselves.

Has Trump EVER shown loyalty to anything or anyone but himself? The answer is NO. He only engages in meaningless rhetoric and makes token moves to enlarge himself. Everything about this guy stinks of rotten evil ways.

Trump is a vile Serpent? Acts like the Anti-Christ? He’s evil? He’s compromising with Satan?

And here I thought Trump was just a cannibalistic voodoo worshiper.

I bet you have a big apple cart.

You don’t know jack. You just like to poke at Trump, and that’s cool, your choice.

YOu want to show condescension to those who disagree. Fine,,then you whine when someone counters you,,and claim you are being attacked. Tough.

You’re little sidekick Sola sure is silent. Again, neither of you can show one other candidate who has highlighted Vets issues more than Trump.

I understand you want to make it all about you. It’s not. Too bad.

Not what I said solo.

I said you have some interesting allies in your fight against Trump. Most interesting.

Try to keep up and stop being evasive.

Trump has already filed suit against Univision, as if that’s such a big issue. Sola, not so interested in Veritas wants to pretend it matters.

“Yes because you and sola PRETEND you care about vets....”

I am both a veteran and retired military. I don’t normally advertise that. So, drop that issue, for you are totally out of line in the same way Trump was when he attacked Captain, U.S. Navy(retired) McCain over his honorable military service. Now “Senator” McCain does deserve attacks for many wrongs, but his military service is not one. That is off limits.

OH shut up. Notice you’re dragging it out now aren’t you?

You want to pretend Trump hasn’t helped Vets. No wait, you can’t even bring yourself to speak to how he’s helped vest.

How has YOUR Capt McCain helped Vets? Tell us since you are such an authority on “veritas”
