Aint over til it's over.
But I'll give you that the odds are against people waking from the spell of willful blindness caused by being near celebrity and wealth.
Been there. Done that. See: California Arnold Schwarzenegger. Further reference Jesse Ventura.
“I’ll give you that the odds are against people waking from the spell of willful blindness caused by being near celebrity and wealth.”
You obviously think very little of your fellow conservatives, who have done their due diligence on the candidates, and are overwhelmingly choosing Trump.
Take me, for instance. I was a Cruz guy, going back to his run for the Senate, here in Texas. Ted made some serious missteps early in the campaign that caused me to re-examine my support for him. That left an opening for some other challenger to win me over.
Enter Trump, who I must say, I was initially very skeptical of. I actually was worse than skeptical. I outright rejected the guy as an unserious candidate. And then he started talking about what he’d do to address the most pressing issues of our time. He boldly went where no candidate had gone before, and captured the support of millions. Including me.
In the interim I’ve examined him even more carefully, and have observed that he also possesses personal qualities and executive experience the others don’t have, which only strengthens my conclusion that he is best equipped to take the role of President in the next administration.
It’s got nothing to do with celebrity. It’s what the man brings to the table.
