Maybe he lit a torch under the politicians. McCain still hasn’t moved on Veterans issues and if I think I know McCain, he is a VITRIOLIC, HATEFUL person. I think, for the betterment of his own ego, he will essentially hold veterans issues hostage until Trump is gone or until he is defeated in elections. I see Cruz taking action on some issues, but by and large, even with the outrage, politicians (not some govs, but Congress) is doing nothing.
I agree about defeating the other RINO’s first, but attacking McCain, for instance, isn’t doing that. Going after Linda Graham isn’t doing that. Again, he needs to focus like a laser on guys like Bush and Rubio. Again, people on here are fawning over Trump for attacking the WRONG people...yes, McCain deserved blow back for his comments...but for 3 days, we heard nothing but McCain stories. Mac isn’t running. I don’t think the American people or voters care what McCain says or does. And, to your point, if he has to take out his competition, how long until he turns on Cruz?
The discipline thing reminds me of Hillary. The guys on Glenn Beck (the brief part I heard) made fun of Hillary for essentially going off of her rocker and shrieking. I think, if the buttons are pushed the wrong way, Trump will do the same.
So, if Trump sells, is that a good thing for the party? If Trump really wanted to do what he says...and if he sells, then instead of attacking McCain, etc, he should SCREAM from the rooftops about other issues affecting his country. He could be, if he wanted, the BEST voice we have had in awhile. But, I am not sure he knows where he stands. I think the media will want him on stage ONLY to see what he says/does. They think he is a side show...one with clout right now, but a side show. I think we make a BIG mistake holding him up as some type of savior.
“i see Cruz taking action on some issues, but by and large, even with the outrage, politicians (not some govs, but Congress) is doing nothing.”
Same as it ever was. It would take outrage and a torch and pitchfork brigade banging on their office door to get those kleptocrats to do anything useful. If then. Hence the attractiveness of DT to so many.
“....first, but attacking McCain, for instance, isn’t doing that. Going after Linda Graham isn’t doing that. Again, he needs to focus like a laser on guys like jebito.”
I think his strategy right now is to cause the controversy which gains the attention which allows him to focus on a point of general consensus. Mcinsane and linda are just the useful idiots. It’s still early. He has plenty of time to focus on the real opponents. Also, jebito has some pretty good advisors. I’m sure they’re doing everything short of duck-taping his mouth shut to keep him from responding to DT..
“And, to your point, if he has to take out his competition, how long until he turns on Cruz?”
If both DT and TC are still in the running after Florida, which I strongly doubt, then thinks get more like the movie “Highlander.” Frankly I don’t think anyone but jebito is there much past FL. I hope I’m wrong.
“The discipline thing reminds me of Hillary. The guys on Glenn Beck (the brief part I heard) made fun of Hillary for essentially going off of her rocker and shrieking. I think, if the buttons are pushed the wrong way, Trump will do the same.”
Quite possible. Perhaps even likely. The process tends to weed the hotheads out. We’ll see.
Gotta go for now.
