“The last dash attempt by liberals and establishment conservatives to scare people into not voting for him.”

Am I an establishment conservative because I remember the Micheal Moore moment during a debate when Trump said that Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction to get us into the war?

Am I an establishment conservative when I think that the business expertise of Trump on casinos, golf courses and hotels won’t help America be great again?

The man has no substance and the groundswell of support for him resembles a cult of personality more than it does any agreement with his abilities or ideals.

I seriously doubt whether he knows enough about the constitution to swear to uphold it... I imagine he’ll hire the “Best People” to handle all that Constitution stuff for him...

Excellent post! Trump is a cult of personality just as Zero is.

That was a momentary slip of Trump's mask showing his true, real and VERY liberal (still) side. Trump also blamed conservatives for the GOPe, remember. That/it should have been a very revealing moment re: Trump's motives and agenda to all....but alas, some folks in America are too stuckonstupid to take the hint/clue. And then, there are others that are just 'in on it' re: Trump's agenda.

No. You're more like the socialists who believe that things--healthcare, food, education, housing--can literally be free.

The government is a business, with a very defined product line. It must operate like a business, and, in fact, uses the language and processes of business to describe its operations. I know this because I do work in government, and in my particular career field, I am being trained and developed as an executive leader. People with my background can and do step into CEO positions when they leave the government. (That will not be my path, but it is an option if I want it.)

So, given that government is really a big business, doesn't it make sense to give the top CEO position to someone who does, in fact, have that top-level CEO experience? Someone like Trump, who has already effectively demonstrated that he has the diverse skill set required of the country's top CEO?

I know that I sure as heck don't want that position going to some ideologue who has no real-world executive experience at all. Whenever we elect ideologues like that, the country never does well as a result. Clinton, Johnson, Obama--they've all left the country worse off. An ideologue who passes himself off as conservative will *not* do better, since he does not have the skill set.

Unfortunately, hiring the best people is difficult for Trump.

He has admitted he doesn’t want anyone working for him who is smarter than he is.

That narrows the gene pool quite a bit.

A confident man would be glad to have the best people around him and be secure enough to be able to live with people smarter than himself.

It’s Trump’s constant need for validation that causes him to do some of the things he does.

One of the guiding factors in his life has been to find and have the most sexy women. He has admitted it. When he looks over and sees a really hot babe in bed, he feels he has arrived.

He is an unstable man, a quality that is dangerous in a president.
