A personal assessment of Donald Trump
washington examiner ^ | 9/27/2015 | STEPHEN MEISTER

Posted on 09/27/2015 6:35:03 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Despite Donald Trump's meteoric rise to the top of the Republican presidential polls, the GOP establishment continues to bash its leading candidate. Apparently "party-cide" is contagious: The Democratic establishment continues to ride the sinking Clinton campaign like the string quartet on the deck of the Titanic — the majority of Americans know she's a liar and don't trust her. It's a fight to the death all right, only each party's pointing a gun at its own head. GOP establishment favorite Jeb Bush is hemorrhaging voters too. CBS News/YouGov shows Bush coming in a pathetic eighth place in New Hampshire and doing only marginally better in Iowa, where he now places fifth. As an attorney who's worked for Trump (I have not represented him for the past year and a half) — and many years ago, against him — his success on the campaign trail comes as no surprise: Trump's a man of exceptional tenacity and guts, insightful intuitions, clear purposes, an intelligence that's expressed forcefully and directly, always without regard to political correctness, and a world class negotiator. Trump intuitively understands what troubles Americans and boldly states their concerns; I guarantee he'll never be an appeaser of foreign governments; there'll be no Neville Chamberlains or hapless apprentices for domestic or foreign policy, in his administration — if you're not doing your job, you'll be fired. Coming off President Obama's massive failures, most recently his hugely dangerous appeasement of Iran (and funding of the terrorist regime), Americans hunger for Trump's common sense approach, especially when coupled with his incorruptibility: Trump doesn't need donors (let alone a foundation to function as money generating, influence-peddling machine), and when he says politicians are forever hitting him up for money, I can tell you he's not exaggerating.

Unfortunately, I missed Trumps 60 Minutes interview with Scott Pelley, but I saw some excerpts. Seemed to me that Trump was hitting pretty hard on the topic of "I don't like liars. Some journalists just say things that are untrue, and they know they're untrue, and they don't care. I don't like liars."

This works very well, I think, when dealing with the media. It exposes the nature of their business -- and it beautifully positions Trump to face Hillary, who is probably the biggest (and worst) liar on the planet.

Not fussing but wondering why you don’t use paragraphs in posting your articles?

America is so fed up with its ‘leaders’, as are many nations around the world. The Lord is setting the table for the emergence of the Antichrist of Daniel and Revelation who will captivate the entire world with his persona, and he won’t need a TelePrompTer.

It’s unknown whether it will be in this generation. Maybe not. There are some biblical hints that this is a time of low faith. Secularism will have (relatively speaking) succeeded. Not over the dead bodies of contemporary Christendom, I don’t believe. But Christendom is always only one generation away from being gone.

Only Trump does this, did any other candidate book prime time with a tax plan? Or ANY plan?

They are probably counting campaign funds instead.

... actually I posit that it is more fair to say that such a state of affairs will set its own table. The people and Satan will both be ready to partay, and God will say you just go right ahead, because you insisted on it.

And here's the money quote:

In a match up against Sanders, Clinton or Biden, the GOP is better off with Trump, whose business experience, successes and star power can overpower an aging socialist, a corrupt dynastic politician, or the vice president of the most pathetic administration in modern history.
