“BAD deals. That is the very point of the Trump campaign. They are horrible deal makers. Fifth-columnist-bad. So that’s actually a trick on Sowell’s part.”
No, Sowell’s point is that a bad deal is worse than no deal, and that it is not always possible to get a good deal. Sometimes you really don’t want a deal.
“Goofy trick. He jumped the shark twice.”
He was saying something I was thinking about just this morning.
Bipartisanship is when the Stupid Party and the Evil Party get together and do something that is both stupid and evil.
Should better deals be the goal? I say no. Any deal gives the Evil Party something they want, and, as everything they want is evil (whether in the goal or the execution), no deal is acceptable. Our goal should be to give them nothing, ever. More than this, we must strive to undo all the evil things they have done in the last century or so.
Some demonrat years ago accused us of being the party of no, no, no. no, no, no, no. He was lying, but that’s really all they ought to hear from the rest of us, until we are able to drive them completely out of public life.
All that said, we have had nothing but humiliating surrender since Ronaldus Magnus, and the better deals that Trump promises would have to be an improvement on that. Not good enough to be called a solution, but better.
What I think will happen is that Trump will try to make a couple of deals, the demonrats will stab him in the back, and from that point forward he will see them for what they are and act accordingly.

I would love it if Trump kept his twitter account as president. Can you imagine?
‘Our goal should be to give them nothing, ever.’
Here’s the reality — the Establishment can be bought off on the cheap. Save 20 tax dollars by offering 1 dollar of pork. That’s how you work with the Etablishment. Cruz supporters would end up losing us more money than that through fiscal trench warfare — if he even manages to win the White House.
To speak in military terms — a brilliant general knows how to outmaneuver. A lousy general gets you mired in trench warfare.
‘No, Sowell’s point is that a bad deal is worse than no deal, and that it is not always possible to get a good deal. Sometimes you really don’t want a deal.’
Did he even bother to read the Art of the Deal? Trump’s strategy is to walk from the table. His veto power would be WEILDED. He would be willing to have shutdowns in a heartbeat. He would pressure them based on their weaknesses outside the box.
In fact, his deal-making skills will be scary — not timid. To accuse him of spooky powers would be more effective than to lump him as a weak deal-maker.
‘Bipartisanship is when the Stupid Party and the Evil Party get together and do something that is both stupid and evil.’
Turmp-partizanship is about forcing other power brokers to do something they never would have thought themselves willing to do. He admires Reagan — the bully pulpit. And Trump has already proven that he could BASTE legislative bodies with mere tweets. Look at the antics in the House of Commons.
