They will believe what they want to believe. No matter what!!
Trump is a great salesman!! No substance to speak of at the rallies. Just things the people with ‘itching ears’ want to hear.
If we lose the Constitution and rule of law, we will see God’s judgement sooner rather than later.
If Abel’s blood, just one man, cried out to God, think of the millions of voices calling out to God now!!! America has some reaping coming our way!
Cruz gets no credit for standing in opposition to ‘obumercare’. He only is an obstructionist and cannot make ‘deals’.
Concerned with fallout if the one who is not to be vetted fails to perform to expectations.
DT is actually using the same campaign strategy of alinsky.
1. * RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” “I’m worth billions and I know great people and I, I, I, tell great stories.”
* RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.) [no comment needed]
* RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” [Our threads here are very much keeping in step with the debates. LIAR, UGLY, LIAR, UGLY. Pretty pathetic.]
* RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. [Always something new for the press.]
* RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
[Except he has been doing this for decades with his love and joy in lawsuits.
Nothing has changed much...1983 NYT...
“His alternating skills of charming some individuals and riding roughshod over others has earned Donald Trump a reputation in some quarters as someone not to be trusted. He reneged, for example, on a promise to donate to a museum the Art Deco bas- reliefs on the facade of Bonwit Teller’s - bulldozed to make way for Trump Tower. It was a sin deemed unforgivable by landmark preservationists. But the only negative comments about Donald Trump these days are given off the record.”

* RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” [McConnells threat to drop him will be a positive campaign picture - everyone forgets our Congress is just as much the enemy as the administration.]
* RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.) [What a pro at ridicule.]
