Very.Good.Article!!!

Enter Donald Trump, who seems to have an innate mastery of this process. He is an ad-man’s dream, a political consultant’s perfect plaything.

Trump is the perfect product for these times. Forget the snake oil he's selling. It's the Snake Oil Salesman that we the people want!

Earlier thread postulates that Trump is using Alinsly rules for Radicals

Ha....my theory is that all these stories about trump "this and that".....are in fact diversionary tactics (head fakes for those in Rio Linda) planted by Trump operatives....

just to keep the opposition discombobulated.

for a good example watch the film "the man who never was" on Netflex.

Cuz hes not a namby-pamby, poo-slurping, radioactive, lying collectivist sack of sh*t..?

My guess.

It's the Snake Oil Salesman

The queer thing about this snake oil salesman's pitch is that he brags about his various cons.

I enlarged that chart and couldn’t get back to the article.

Returning now to finish reading!

Trump: “We’ll win so much, you’ll get bored with winning. Or maybe not.”

LOL!! Are we to presume you know more about coke than you sure as heck know about marketing? Whoa! LOL!

I saw it in a movie once or twice. Jen-yee did a line in Forrest Gump before she thought about jumping off the high-rise balcony.

Nope, never did coke, or ludes, or crystal or any thing like that. Too many Ancient Ancient Age whiskey sours and gin and tonics, though. No longer do that or smoke cigs either. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!!!

Then why is THIS clown sinking like the proverbial streamlined anvil?

[Katya]

My mother, our family’s token pseudo-progressive Obama reverer... likes Trump a lot, and couldn’t understand my revulsion with him.
I call it, shared indignation, I suppose that is how he makes the public feel empowerment with his message.
The cult of personality is alive and well amongst the sheeple...be they left or right.

You're right. Ad execs have probably all changed their ways now and are more sedate; it's been a while since I made my living that kind of way: marketing talent.

I don’t see any hyperbole involved in this article - advertising is a serious business with quantifiable results.

I think DJT naturally knows how to get where he’s going. I saw him on a circa 1980’s Oprah interview someone emailed me where he said he doesn’t quit and doesn’t ever plan to lose. I saw another time where he said “I’ve always got a chance”.

He’s his opponents worst nightmare. The Natural. And he’s way better than Bill Clinton ever thought of being because he has succeeded in the real world.

I think this election season will be studied for decades.
