I applauded when Donald Trump jumped into the Republican presidential nominating fray. Here was someone with overwhelming national recognition due to his celebrity status, as well as someone who was politically independent due to his wealth. Someone of that stature could potentially drive a stake through the heart of the Republican establishment and forcefully blunt the folly of political correctness that has inundated American society. During the early stages of his campaign Trump exceeded all expectations in both of these arenas. However,as the novelty has begun to wear thin and his speeches and talking points have become annoyingly repetitive the question must be asked:who is Donald Trump?
.....he has dramatically changed positions on taxes,health care,gun control,labor unions,immigration and abortion over the past 20 years....there is no thinking person,much less a politician,that has not evolved in their approach and positions on various political issues over the years particularly as they get older and circumstances change.
While Trump's vacillations on issues over the years are not overly troubling on the surface,these dramatic evolutions do require a thought provoking examination of his character and who he truly is...
..In a deposition,conducted on December 19-20,2007,the following exchange between Trump and the attorney for the Defendant took place [Trump:I'm worth whatever I feel]:...
Over the years Trump has contributed enormous sums of money to individual Democrats and party campaign committees including the most unethical and partisan Senate Majority Leader in recent history-Harry Reid...[justifying]these contributions as being necessary to essentially buy influence in order to get his real estate projects etc. approved...
..but that does not explain when asked in February of 2014 who were his favorite journalists,he listed such liberal luminaries as: Maureen Dowd,Diane Sawyer,Andrea Peyser,George Stephanopoulis,Bob Scheiffer and Mika Brezinski...in 1999 when he quit the Republican Party saying, "I just believe the Republicans are just too crazy right."?......

He/she has somehow thrown Alice Cooper into the mad mix.
Maybe we should lay off.
BF may be...fragile.
You are seriously out of touch with reality. I posted about how confused you are and that I picture you “lost in your closet”. OK anyone can have a misunderstanding but now I have clearly explained it - yet you are still melting down because I posted “closet”.
My goodness. You want a touched nerve? You are it!
Funny to watch though - LoL! :)
Yes continue... closet...go...
Hey I just filled you in that we are posting on a forum chock-full of US news.
The proper response is a polite thank you.
Yea I laughed too.
At you.
Don’t fret. She got just what she wanted, a brew ha.
Won’t get her guy any votes.
She’s just pissing off more folks who will take a pass on her guy.
I don’t take directives from you.
You are most welcome.
It was hanging from its hook, nestled safely in its case, right behind my head.
*whew*
Have you seen this thing, yet?
I got one and plugged it into my 65” LED.
It is awesome!
Talk about kicking back with your feet propped up.
$99 at Best Buy.
Flailing again I see...
Beats squirming I guess.
At first I was attempting meet you half way. You’ve definitely become a Berliner. My condolences.
I support trump and cruz.
Here is why i support trump.
Best case he fixes the country.
Worst case he burns it down and its better to burn out than to fade away.
I do that with my 55”.
It is great.
~Sure~ you did.
Now *I* am picturing *you*, completely wound up, frantically hitting reload and trying to formulate your next “brilliant” reply.
What if the Hokey Pokey *really* is what it’s all about?

It’s remarkably capable.
It came with Win8 [bleah!!!] but I upgraded it to Win10...slightly less bleah!.
But for surfing, YouTube and the like, it beats both my smart TV and Sony Blu-Ray/3D with web capability.
No more “There is not enough memory” errors.
Fun!
[and I don’t have a 25’ HDMI cable running across the room anymore]
Trumps a good listener when he's after something he wants...even watching him tune into his audiences at Rallies is revealing.....he knows immediately if he's connecting or not, and if say something that isn't getting the response he expects he's quick to calm them.
Interesting is watching him when there's a disturbance from a protester.....’he stops’ talking immediately....gives “room” to himself, listens carefully to see how he might play the situation, and mindful of how the audience is taking it... ‘He watches them’ while they watch whatever is happening!
I enjoy watching Trump operate...he's such a classic narcissistic personalty type to observe.
