Trump is a smart guy. A good business man is generally a good salesman, which Trump also is. I just don’t understand so many people who desperately want to believe Trump.
Yes, Trump is far, far better than Hillary, but in my gut I think that once we are past the primary Trump would begin to go very squishy. If elected, I would bet Trump will be a near disaster on social issues. Picking Supreme Court nominees? Are you kidding?
‘I just don’t understand so many people who desperately want to believe Trump.’
You apparently think Trump is up to no good. That would mean the following:
1. Hannity is in on it.
2. Rush is in on it.
3. Herman Cain is in on it.
4. Senator Jeff Sessions is being duped.
5. Phyllis Schlafly is being duped.
6. And Michael Savage, probably the most paranoid anti-establishment talk radio host around, is also being duped.
I’m sure the list is even longer than that.
In the meantime, Trump was attacked during the response to the State of the Union Address by the ‘G’ OP. How ‘Wellstone Memorial’ of’em. About as strong an endorsement in Trump’s favor as you can get.
If there is any clue on earth that Trump is evil, Jeb Bush would had already exposed it by now. Easy these days to leak via proxy. Trump has destroyed the Bush Dynasty’s aura of power by hostile takeover.
Then there’s the ‘stream of consciousness’ open-book events. A super-villain doesn’t roll that way — too much to hide.
Correct.
With Cruz and Trump standing side-by-side last night, the contrast was striking. Aside from a couple of answers, Trump was strictly amateur hour. Cruz was competent, knowledgeable and presidential.
Luntz' focus group chose him as the clear winner.
Trump made a strategic error by drawing attention to Cruz with his clumsy attacks on him. Only Rubio or Christie can keep up with Ted. Donald's pride and impetuousness got the better of him.
