Is this the same Scott Adams that wrote the ‘Adventure’ type games for the old TI 99-4/A computer? You plugged in a specific cartridge for each particular game. You typed in directions like ‘go north’, or ‘pick up book’. I remember one was on a tropical island and you had to find the treasure.

No, sorry. It was a shorter news segment, turns out. It's linked to an article on WND (World Net Daily). A lot don't hold that source in very high regard, but they get a few things right. I'll look it up tomorrow; it's pretty late.

The guest did bemoan the fact that the media didn't pick up on it. I'd be surprised if they did.

I can't remember if the guest specified any actual details or not; he referred to what was found in some archives.

My ears only perked up when I heard it was Vince Foster and suicide. And they did say something about Hillary, her friend, something like that.

Tunnels of Doom. I played the heck out of that when I was 9.

"Is this the same Scott Adams ...

Evidently not.

From Wikipedia we find:
Scott Adams (game designer) (born 1952)

And:
Scott Raymond Adams (creator of Dilbert) (born 1957)

The interview is quite perceptive.

Another aspect of Trump's strength, at least as far as I can tell, is that Trump typically attacks people who have first attacked him. And you can count on him doing it.

I think that people sense this and, as a result, if you are contemplating attacking him you hesitate and prepare to defend, or, if you are not inclined to attack him, then you can be at ease with no worries.

I read where 20,000 have left the democratic party and gone to the republican party, this year... in Massachusetts. East coast liberal country. Trump could be a huge landslide. Amy person who has any sense, would think voting for a criminal or a communist is out of the question. They don’t give their voters anyone to get excited about. The very vulnerable will believe those 2, but the thinkers just may abandon the dem ship.

The dog is Dogbert. I thought it was still published. Maybe they’re re-runs.

I am no supporter of Hitlary but for Trump to be POTUS, he has to get past the “Beast” first. The Clinton’s have always had a good handle of winning elections ANY WAY they can. I expect they will be bringing their big, and little guns to the upcoming fight, not to mention the things none of us will see on the surface. Yes, it will be Anything To Win.

Mr Adams is a smart cookie, and a good evaluator of people’s behavior.

I’d pay attention.

Yep, nice to see people are GETTING IT now.

They say that the Dems start out with 230+ Electoral Votes (need 271 to win)...those are the solid blue states. Then you add another 70 that lean blue, and the Dems have their victory. The Republicans are forced to win all the toss-ups, then take most of the Dem-leaning states to win.

That is if they run THE USUAL BUNCH, which includes Jeb, Rubio, Linda, and sadly Cruz.

Trump MOVES THE LINE OVER by about 100 EVs. The Dems now only get to start out with 130 or so EVs, and 200 including leaners. They are then forced to MAKE THEIR CASE to win enough EVs. The states that move towards our side or MI, PA, OH, NC, VA, WI, MN, NJ, and probably a bunch more.

If the Dems don’t run a strong candidate, it won’t just be a Republican win, it will be a Republican LANDSLIDE.

We get the Tampa paper on Sunday. Doonesbury by Gary traudeau has a hit piece on Trump every single time since he has entered the race. Before that he had a hit piece on anything conservative. I shake my head in disbelief over the missed opportunities of these last seven years. These lefties don’t have a clue.

One of my favorite cartoon strips is Mallard Fillmore.

Mine was The Farside!

Not bad for a guy who worked at Pacific Bell as a network administrator and doodled in his spare time.

Scott has been saying this for a while, his blog has been analyzing Trumps persuasive speaking style....Scott is not a Trump supporter btw. I’m a huge fan of his books: “How to fail at almost everything, and still win big” is terrific!
