Really interesting! In particular he explains why women will NOT vote for Clinton. He says," I think it will turn into a massacre...because men hate her." (15 minute mark)

Adams so far has been totally accurate about Trump including that he would win the primaries and that he will win in a landslide in the general election.

Interesting. I would not have thought Dilbert was an expert on what women are thinking.

You have to listen to the interview to understand what Adams is talking about regarding women.

But... Some FReepers insist women hate Trump, so he can’t possibly win!

The joke went right over your head, didn't it?

Hillary is certainly testing out Warren today. Live on Fox. Hillary looks so smug and happy. She is complaining about big executive bonus’s.

She and Warren have the same old formula. First, lie about Trump's positions and knock down the lies. Then promise free education and higher taxes for the rich.

Typical ruler - describes how the government will micromanage business. And the unions are going to being jobs back. Huh?

I’m not sure even women know what other women are thinking. I say this because very once in awhile I will hear my wife utter, what was she thinking!!!

I'd approve of Clinton/Warren. (Certainly easier to defeat than Creepy Uncle Joe.)

I still say Adams will be proven wrong on one prediction: Scott Brown as Trump’s veep. Lewandowski said people will be “very happy,” when Trump announces his pick. A LOT of people would not be at all happy with Brown.

I’m not sure when he said that about Brown. did not take it seriously. Brown did not fit any of the characteristics Trump was looking for. He has no congressional political experience and he certainly does not know how to move legislation along.

Adams had to be up to something else.

Trump is a genius in the Art of the Deal (Best selling economics related book ever).

Trump is a genius in construction of high rises, 5-star Hotels, Golf Resorts & Casino’s. No other American Billionaire has anything to match Trump’s record.

Trump is indeed a political genius. Never before, a person with no elected office defeated 16 governors & senators in primaries by SPENDING LESS MONEY.

Trump has correctly identified the issues of 2016. Those issues are the same in UK and causes BREXIT to win.

Interesting. I would not have thought Dilbert was an expert on what women are thinking.

Good observation, for Dilbert fans.

But, I've read Adams' blog posts, and they have been interesting. He's a certified hypnotherapist, and is writing them from the perspective of how each candidate is "persuasive", or not.

He believes Trump is doing all the right things, despite his stumbles. And, he has taken the position that even his "stumbles" may eventually work out in Trump's favor.

In contrast, almost everything Hillary's campaign is doing is wrong. In some cases, they are even bolstering Trump.

Adams started these series of blog posts by writing that he isn't endorsing either candidate, because neither represent his political views. And, he wrote outright that he didn't know whether either candidate would be a good President.

But, in a strange posting: he "endorsed" Hillary because he was apparently getting so many veiled threats from Hillary supporters, that he felt he was in danger. In that same posting, he said that he wasn't worried about Trump supporters' reaction to his endorsement. Here's the post, and the relevant excerpt:

So I’ve decided to endorse Hillary Clinton for President, for my personal safety. Trump supporters don’t have any bad feelings about patriotic Americans such as myself, so I’ll be safe from that crowd. But Clinton supporters have convinced me – and here I am being 100% serious – that my safety is at risk if I am seen as supportive of Trump. So I’m taking the safe way out and endorsing Hillary Clinton for president.

My money is on a woman VP pick to neuter the vagina issue with Hilda Beast.

Adams sounds very sincere. I’ll put in one small quote, but you’d have to read the entire blog entry to get the gist:

‘But as of today, and according to the Master Persuader filter, I put the odds at 90% than [sic] Trump picks Brown as his running mate.’

As I said, I have no idea what he was thinking with this Brown prediction. It makes no sense.

It really doesn’t make any sense. My guess is that for all his expertise in persuasion, hypnotherapy, communication, etc., Adams doesn’t really understand conservatives quite as well as he thinks he does. Fwiw.

Always fascinating insight. “Whover has Manafort and Noonan”...interesting comment on Team Reagan.

Adams sees the election as a lab experiment in persuasion, which few others do.

The comments on women are worth the 1/2 hour listen alone.

“causes BREXIT to win.”

Except that looks like BREXIT will lose despite winning, when those holding power decide “nah” and make life untenable for the position. Trump is used to playing hardball, but not (say) getting literally mugged.
