[Ajnin] We know Trump by words and deeds that he will violate the Constitution whemever he sees fit.

Pure speculation.

It is just as easy to speculate that Trump knows exactly what needs to be don't to cure what ails business ...


It isn't pure speculation. FRiend asserts a collared speculation constrained by Trump's observed behavior and personal history. That is a reasonable speculation informed by Trump's considerable available history both business and personal-political (his personal donations and statements).

Donald Trump is not a big constitutionalist, always in his past life citing precedent and law before he made a move. That is not his style. He is instead a palimpsest on which so much has been written that he is like a blank sheet of paper: it's possible to read just about anything into his positions and asseverations. So unlike Obama, who had nothing there except his ghostwritten bios and his plunder checks from shaking down New York banks and the Agriculture Department (let's not forget he has a continuing scandal there linking him to a known notorious person and piles of government money), and his media "coverage" ie. complicity, Trump instead comes loaded with National Enquirer and People/Us scandal-sheet mustard-yellow journalism. Like a palimpsest, one can read in all the chicken tracks and smudges the outline of almost any reading one cares to hazard, particularly because he has strewn the political record with chum and tidbits and feed-corn trails leading, ultimately, to his deer stand overlooking the White House front door.

What one does not see in Donald Trump's many moves and moues is any concern for the Constitution and Bill of Rights. He asserts his rights but seems oblivious to the rights of others until instructed by a court to leave someone alone, as in the notorious Atlantic City case, where he had to be warned off harassing a woman whose property he wanted for casino parking. (He has also spoken in favor of Kelo takings.)

Our FRiend's point is a good one.

Sorry, but Cruz's behavior is no better. I support Cruz over any establishment pos running, but I'm under no illusion he is without flaws, just like Trump.

My enemy is the DC cabal. We keep this up, say hello to a brokered convention and another rino getting shoved down our throats...then we can all say madame potus.
