Donald Trump: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly
The Good:
"... Trump has shown that voters like it when Republicans don't act as though they have to be afraid of telling the truth, in harsh terms, about Democrats. That's why his stand on immigration gained so much attention; he was using Democrat-style rhetoric, but he was a putative Republican.
What the "intelligentsia" miss when they talk about Trump is that real people will be polite at first, but after they've been insulted over and over again, they want to take off the gloves and tell the guttersnipes who've been insulting them what they think.....
The Bad:
As far as anyone can tell, Trump doesn't really have a set of core beliefs.
He flips and flops on issues to the extent that it's possible for comedian Stephen Colbert to make a Trump vs. Trump debate video.
While the reality is that politicians can and do change their mind on issues it's usually on a time scale greater than a few weeks. Yet at the same time he's declaring that he's become pro-life - and we should trust him on that - Trump says that his sister, the judge who ruled that partial-birth abortion is legal, would make a great Supreme Court justice.....
The Ugly:
The ugly aspect of Trump is his willingness to hurt others to achieve his goals.
Lots of "little" people were hurt in his four bankruptcies while he continued to live a lavish lifestyle. Trump says that his ripping off the average Joe and Jane, whom he didn't pay what he owed, demonstrates his good business sense......
.....Trump's own words and actions have shown that he's very comfortable with crony capitalism, where the power of government helps the businesses that are nice to the incumbents, such as with ethanol subsidies.
Trump's name-calling is a sign of a vindictive and insecure person - a real bully, not the fake ones that liberals always whine about. It's one thing to call Hillary anti-woman after she'd falsely accused Republicans of being anti-woman. It's another to attack other Republican candidates with names. Even worse, Trump has no problem using Democrat attacks on Cruz.
It's clear that Trump's first loyalty is to Trump.
Sadly, it appears that Trump has nothing but contempt for those good people who support him. ............
That’s some opus you wiped with tonight Wife.
The thing reads at 2 Grade level.
(As opposed to 2nd grade. ha!)
The analysis is 2 Grade level, also, for the kiddie table.
Can you strain for an intellectual version of my guy, Hell on Wheels TRUMP?
With so many flips and flops, it is possible that Trump will become a gymnast after he loses the nomination.
It's even worse than that. Here's an example of 'Trump Airlines', another Trump failure that didn't result in a bankruptcy, "just" a default:

I wonder, if you add up all the bankruptcies and defaults, would Trump's net worth be negative, or positive?
