<< so whether benign or not, Ted might have a problem. The article on Conservative Treehouse is of course blown up for full magnification because its a pro-trump site.>>

I’ve been watching how Trump manages the media and it just dawned on me that his “two Corinthians” mistake was probably not a mistake at all. Instead, he’s just continuing his polished way of being able to bring down his opponents. And the brilliance here is that it appears unpolished. And Unpolished = underestimated by enemies plus the ability to “only counterpunch” until his opponent is a (metaphorical) bloody pulp. (Insert daydreams of Hillary here)

Think about it: Trump knows this “Ted Has Dominion” stuff will be used by Rove et al to bring Ted down and bring him down hard. Between that video of Ted’s father and Ted’s birth issues, he’s toast even before he’s even in the oven. Trump already brought out the birth issue, blaming it (rightfully) on a reporter asking him a question. So NOW, how does Trump bring up the bizarre “Ted As King” issue? He needs that out NOW, not after the primary when the RINOs will use it. Look for Trump to make another religious “mistake” soon, after this big announcement news cycle but before the IA primary. Then he’ll deftly switch the conversation around, essentially saying, “Hey, at least I’m not trying to be your Divine King and transfer your money to a cult.”

It’s the Dumb & Ignorant Blonde being played to perfection, not an easy feat when you’re a successful multi-billionaire. :-)

Real possibility He’s always two or three or four steps ahead of the current player ;-)

Well, Trump is smart, but I don't know if he's that smart. I have been in churches---Baptist, Pentecostal, "community"---all my life and have heard plenty of people say "Two Corinthians."

We know Trump isn't an evangelist or a Bible quoter like Ted. Not a knock or a criticism on either. But when I heard Cruz talking to a POLITICAL audience tell them to "put on the whole armor of God," well, I know what that means and the context, and I know the "king' and "reign" talk. It doesn't bother me, but I know that non-religious or marginally religious people, including conservatives, will be very taken aback by this kind of talk. We aren't electing a Pope. I don't want a Cromwell.

Look for Sarah Palin to slip a similar “mistake” into tonight’s event.
