With the news being "All Trump, All the Time", it's hard not to be faced with supporters and detractors. What if we look at his background, his previous contributions, his contacts, his history overall.
So, for your consideration ...
Just wondering ...
One could argue the same thing for Jeb Bush I expect. I mean with the $100+ million dollars he’s amassed with the help of various super-PACs, one would expect that he also has some background, merit, some compelling history since time in memoriam we’d all like to examine in exquisite detail, n’est pas?
Yes he will post his 95 Theses on the GOPe’s door. Or on Carl Rove’s fat head.
Having my fingers well on the pulse of the idiot voter, living in Broward county FL, they think he’s a circus side show. Just heard it from a sweet (but liberal non-thinking voter) that he’s just entertainment.
This country is truly dead. We will not survive those who elected the current POS twice.
(with all due respect to excrement)
He’s the Andrew Jackson of the early 21st century: uncouth, hard-nosed, nativist, the opposite of the political class of his time, and very popular among the common people.
Apples and oranges....
FYI..so was Huey “Kingfish” Long
“Apples and oranges....”
Absolutely!
Very good!
Hadn’t thought about that.
Didn’t Randy Newman write a song about Kingfish? Don’t know how that exactly relates.
There's an old folksy Cuban phrase that means "everything in a mess and an uproar." It's "La Iglesia en manos de Lutero"
-- "The Church in the hands of Luther!"
Bernie Sanders is today's Huey Long, minus the accent. People follow Bernie because he's going to take it to The Rich; people follow Trump because he's going to take it to The People Who Think They're Smarter Than You.
There is at least one big difference. Martin Luther believed in God. Donald Trump believes he IS God.
Luther posted 95 theses.
Trump gives a speech to thousands, and lists how many actual policies?
Oh, except Donaldcare. And stopping immigration.
So that’s two.
Yes, and Andrew Jackson brought on an economic collapse and hunger of the masses with his protectionist policies.
What did Andrew Jackson DO for the common people?
Want to try again?
No, because if Trump is as protectionist as his rhetoric suggests, and he tries to implement the tax policies he says he supports, he could very well create the kind of economic difficulties we have seen when we suffered from protectionism in the past, including in the Jackson/Van Buren era and in the Hoover/FDR era.
No.
