Yeah, I understand that Trump does seem to vary on the specifics of his positions fairly frequently, and I do find that troubling, and I have commented that he will take 5 different positions on the same issue within the same sentence.

But something that counter balances that trait of his for me is his trait of being a very candid an open speaker who does not use prepared lines or practiced answer and speeches focus grouped for maximum effect and such.

He’s a real guy speaking in normal language, and that is truly interesting and rare in my estimation.

Sometimes it doesn’t work to his advantage when he appears to contradict himself, but other times it does work to his advantage, because he connects with real people, and lots of them.

He is a unique individual, he has gravitas, if I may use that bit of an infamous word.

I do not think it is a wise thing to do to dismiss him.

I mean, Nick, I dismissed him straight off when he announced, just NAH, and I made jokes about him.

Now I am listening to what he says and trying to figure out if this is a man I can vote for.

He is so far effectively selling himself to me, I have to be honest about it.

I kind of see it the opposite way. Everything he says is calculated to provoke reaction. We never get to see the real Trump. And anyone who overcompensates to the degree he does is hiding deep-seated insecurities. I'd hate to be him, he must live in anguish.

Again, I don't understand what you are saying. I can't think of a straight male I know who talk like him. He's constantly in the state of a teenage drama queen. He was good at reality TV, I guess, because he has the persona of a diva who must be enveloped in drama and feuds. I don't think it's an attractive quality in women, but in a mam it's just brutal.
