I believe he got in the race last summer because it would be fun and it would help his brand. Then he found that people were far more gullible than he expected, so he kept at it. Soon he was the far and away leader in the polls, so he started to test how much he could get away with saying and realized that there is nothing he can do or say that will deter his supporters. Now he is sprinkling in statements that in most cases would get a candidate run off a GOP debate stage and many of the hardcore conservatives that post here are fine with that as well. so, what the hell, let’s take this all the way, see if Trump can actually win the presidency, we can figure out how to govern between election day and the inauguration. Governing really doesn’t matter anyway as Trump has no long-held core beliefs other than self-promotion is the most important thing one can do. He will bend whatever way the wind is blowing come January 2017.

I hope I am wrong and I will be the first to admit it if I am. My question to you - will you come back and eat your crow when this Trump experiment blows up?

I don’t believe that developing a successful political campaign in the 21st century can occur by accident; this took months of strategy development, business development, finding and hiring a team. I also don’t think anyone would consider it fun; the dirt dug up and exposed, personal attacks, etc. I’m just not convinced by that explanation; besides, why would this help his brand? It has actually very much hurt his brand; he has damaged business relationships, lost support and alienated a lot of potential customers and partners. Also, as I said Cruz is my first choice. I realize Trump has many flaws, but as I said I believe that his intentions are genuine in trying to bring the US back to her former glory, and that he is not a carnival huckster.

I ate crow over some of my support of W.

Thought W would be a great POTUS and instead turned out to be pretty much a globalist and I suspect part of the Iraq war was because Saddam wanted to take out W’s dad.

But I’m sick and tired of business as usual.
