Death of a salesman: If Trump becomes Prez, his supporters will soon experience epic disillusionment
The New York Daily News ^ | February 27, 2016 | Josh Greenman

Remember when Barack Obama promised the world in 2008, only to leave some enthusiasts bereft after he failed to close Guantanamo, much less slow the rise of the oceans?

If we elect a President Donald Trump, you ain't seen nothing yet when it comes to disillusionment.

Imagine the fury among his supporters when their outsized hero is exposed as a huckster who cashes the check as soon as the car is off the lot.

The brash billionaire has sold I-can-fix-it-just-you-watch pledges to millions of voters enraged about a steady stream of hollow political promises. To them, Trump towers as the man who means what he says and who will finally, after a long line of empty suits, deliver.

Fully 43% of Republican voters see him as the candidate most likely to get things done in Washington -- more than double the number who have confidence in his next closest rival.....

He just recognizes that no one else worthy of the task is running""""""........

Let's redefine that: His megalomaniacal self recognizes no one else worthy......of anything, period..

I am thankful to GOD only who gives me hopes that I can live & endure through 4 or 8 more years of another narcissist, who himself does not know what he stands for...

You said...
“Don’t worry about that. If Trump is the nominee, he will beat Hillary in a blow-out”

I think his election stragery will be to tie her to not only an Obama third term but to Washington DC corruption in general.

Trump will not get to do that....he can bluster all he wants but he will not disarm the establishment that he is part of, and ready to make deals.

I am happy for the nation. Peace :)

“disillusionment”

The eGOP calling BW Bush, Bob Dole, McInsane, Bush Jr, and Romney conservatives is disillusionment.

Decades of reality versus The decades of bs, lies and false promises. Thanks!

GOP Inc is now just in the business of getting elected, or getting cushy jobs so they can pay for their kids’ Ivy League law degree college bills.

Professional conservatives are in the business of selling conservative philosophy.

Neither are in the business of actually advancing conservative goals. And that’s a good thing, because they have consistently failed in that regard.

I’m curious how Trump’s detractors are going to feel if he does close the border & kick the illegals out & crushes ISIS.

Those whose income depends on illegals for workers and or customers will suffer.

The Trump haters, who are getting paid to post will be without a job unless they go to Clintoon, who may be paying for some of the Trump haters now.

Your right on both counts. TRUMP thinks no one else is worthy of anything.. PERIOD... and

I too am thankful to GOD for His Hope. He alone is our true HOPE and CHANGE.

I read the title & a couple of sentences so no, I didn’t read the whole article - I didn’t want to burst a blood vessel. Let’s just say that instead of “imagine the fury”, the GOP/RNC etc. are now SEEING the fury of epic disillusionment after working hard to put people into Congress who LIED about what they were and what they would do once they got into office. We have had 7 years of Obama, laughing at the Congress and doing whatever he d@mned well pleased, including destroying the country as best he could & setting the rest of the world on fire. Personally, I’m ready for a Trump to kick over the table and try something different. If I end up disillusioned, then it certainly won’t be the first time, but I refuse to go along with the same old crap as we’ve gotten in the last two elections.

No fellow Navy buddy, if we send them to Gitmo, they get free food, medical care and lodging.

Let them stay in NYC and collect unemployment from the rat mayor.

These first term Cuban Lawyer $inators have never accomplished anything beside fooling their voters. Even that accomplishment might be gone after Super Tuesday.

Exclusive: Cablevision to make $1 offer for New York Daily News

Cablevision’s $1 bid takes into account the New York Daily News’ reported $30 million annual loss and $150 million investment in a printing press, and declining circulation that relies heavily on newsstand sales rather than on subscriptions, the source said.

As long as people keep buying into the cult of personality. Yep.
The POTUS has to work with congress. And there lies the trouble with campaign promises.
All these, “I will.... I’m going to...” don’t mean squat until we have a full dictatorship.
