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.”
Yes. They are duplicitous. They tell us something to be elected, then go on for the next 6 years enjoying their cocktail parties, graft, and high-minded privilege expectations. Most are no better than the dems. Then they give us Dole, McCain, Romney, and......???Jeb Bush????? They don’t even want to try a Reagan conservative. I think most of the republican oligarchy do not realize what they have done and are doing. Just look at Romney ..........4 million fewer pubes voted than voted for McCain. It will be magnified by Jeb. We have no choice for conservatives.
His “visibility” is harming his Business Interests, not making him more Money.
Any other Candidate out there risking their OWN MONEY for the cause?
It appears Mr. Trump is not entitled to Free Speech according to the GOPe, The Democrats, a majority of his Republican Challengers and the Hyena Media.
Yet somehow, he manages to keep on trucking and he is not giving up any Ground that he has already rolled over.
What does Trump have to do with the Hillary Fix?
If the Hilary fix was in, it was long before Trump came along.
Now, Bernie Sanders is probably the one that you should look to as helping Hillary, certainly not Trump. His Socialist followers would go for Hillary.
Notice how Senator Cruz is supportive of Trump without getting into the weeds? It seems Cruz sees something many here do not. If Donald dropped out, it would be something if he told his Supporters to back Cruz.
He certainly wouldn’t steer them toward Hillary.
Well thanks Jim!
“If you got that,...”
I did, and I meant it as ‘light and fun’. You take care too, be blessed!

Does the Devil know how to quote Scripture? You betcha!
Thank you. You take care too.
Just in case you’ve missed my many posts on the subject, I’m all in for Cruz.
But I’m loving every minute of the Trump fireworks show. I think Cruz is too.
Exactly, if Trump wanted a nomination he would have run against Clinton appealing to:
1. Rank and file union members who are being harmed by immigration.
2. African Americans who are being harmed by immigration.
3. Low information Dims who like to vote for rockstars.
I think he might have swept to the nomination with just that coalition.
and like fools we split our votes and Clinton wins with only 42%
I think most of the republican oligarchy do not realize what they have done and are doing
From a man named Spooner?!
LOL. Oh, I am proud as long as it makes people who support Trump think.
Thanks for your concern, though.
If they go to highly qualified individuals in fields such as IT, absolutely. We need them, we don't have them, and if we don't import them we'll just be competing against them.
Unfortunately, the end result of H1B is usually to replace worthless $30/hr US IT workers with worthless $15/hr foreign workers.
He certainly wouldn’t steer them toward Hillary.
Trump could care less who wins the presidency.. if not him..
He will smooooze them just like always,...
He has the loyalty of a Scorpion..
Trump is lambasting everyone, Democrat and Republican, except my guy Cruz.
I don’t thing that even a Scorpion would support Hitlery, especially since that same Scorpion is repeatedly attacking her Competency.
I guess we will all find out in due time. I don’t see a lot of Freepers throwing their Money and Support behind Trump, but they do appreciate his ability to get things in front of the American People unlike any other Candidate.
Trump is a white male.
Bloomberg didn’t run as a dem for Mayor of NY cause he didn’t want to navigate the racial minefield of the rat primary where a White guy like DeBlasio needed to be a total Stalinist and use his Black wife and son with an Afro as campaign props to overcome the curse of his pale skin and come out on top, so he just bought the GOP nod.
So why did he donate to Rahm Emanual run in Chicago?
Different strokes for different folks - it’s still masturbation.
Tried too? or is Doing?
Or is it just more smoke?
And yeah the VA hospitals suck.
I think Cruz has the same anti American attitude yo have. So unfortunately I cannot vote for him.
