You do know I didn’t write this blog, right? Scott Adams is the Dilbert cartoonist. He is narcissistic and provided a good analysis of Trump’s negotiating tactics.
Presumably you can apply the same standard to whatever candidate you like. What have they done for charity. What causes are they espousing?
But, Oh! wait we can’t trust the Republicans because they renege on 100% of their promises but we should vote for a Republican anyway! Right!
My first choice is actually Cruz, and I suspect Trump may fade. But I’ll take him over the rest of the career political hacks/GOPe stooges running. Living your life on the public service teat doesn’t meet my definition of a “doer”.
Trump has created jobs and experienced the real effects of ridiculous over-taxation and over-regulation, which the other guys haven’t done. Trump has also stepped in with philanthropy, both public and private, as an augmentation to the free enterprise system and the severe limits of government capabilities and its proper role.
Usually, yeah, I go with someone with a political record rather than someone waltzing in to say what they’ll do. But other than Cruz, the political records we have running are proven, pure GOPe puppets.
Walker has indeed changed positions. Take a look at his immigration stances. Not sure exactly what they are today, but they have gotten more in line with my desires since Trump came on the scene. Until Trump stuck a chord with his immigration plan, Walker was basically the same as Bush.
As it stands today, I would vote for Trump; Walker; Cruz; Carson, and perhaps Jindal. If the GOPe screws us and anoints Bush and Trump goes 3rd party, I'm going with him.
Seriously, if he had caved to party tradition, he would have lost all credibility. He is the antithesis of the traditional candidate, not an adherent to party protocol. It's the resistance to "business as usual" and the idea that politicians are servants to the people that make him a standout.
Might I add, I am grateful to Trump but not convinced. (yet)
You know what I mean.
Regards,
WOW there is much great information there. After his hat was thrown into the ring (again) For some reason this time it seemed to be a different Trump and began to listen to his words closely thinking the man makes a lot of sense. Why not try The Apprentice as a model in making America Great Again with himself as the Apprentice and US/WTP asking ourselves do we hire or fire the man. Thus far, there are many across the fruited plain who are rooting for Trump to come out on top. Will he succeed? Thanks so much for this bit of insight. I feel like Diogenes and no longer have constant need for a lantern.
I don't have anything mixed up. I'm citing facts, you're repeating myths. Whatever Perot's intentions, that doesn't change reality.
As for RINO, I don't give a damn about the Republican Party anymore. They are a thoroughly corrupt organization. Trump may be a moderate-conservative but he's a nationalist. The GOP isn't. They only care about grubbing money from the Chamber of Cronies and keeping their little domains. I believe they would rather have a Democrat president than a nationalist they can't control like Trump or Cruz. With a Democrat president Boehner and McConnell are in charge of the party, and they can use the president to scare conservatives into voting for them, while doing nothing to stop him.
