>>That is their *return* to Mexico.

>>Parse the words like a politician.

I did parse the words like a politician and I parsed them like a businessman.

The politician is a skilled liar, spender of other people’s money, maker of big promises. As long as he can promise the right stuff to the right people, he gets re-elected. He is NEVER accountable to anyone. His report card is written by HIM. He can say “I fought for..”, “I tried...”, and “I propose...” all day long and that is all he ever has to do to succeed.

The businessman has to meet payroll. He has stockholders to satisfy and the politician’s BS “I tried...” does not hold water in the boardroom. The politician’s “I propose...” does not put merchandise on the shelf.

If you don’t believe Trump and you believe the professional politician, then there isn’t much that I can say to change your mind. When you believe the politician over the businessman, you are the establishment.

I play to people's fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That's why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. - Donald Trump, The Art of the Deal, 1987.

So if I don’t support Trump over anyone else, I am GOPe?

Then, in your world I am the enemy.
I support Cruz so I must be establishment.
Whatever.

Tell me, why can’t Trump talk about policy in detail?
Don’t give the “go to his website garbage”.
Why can’t he tell us the details of the policy his website contains?
Because in his world if he doesn’t say it, he can’t be pinned down with it.

Maybe he doesn’t know the details?
Maybe he hired the best policy wonks he could find.
A person, businessman or politician, who isn’t familiar with the little details can be led astray and the country will suffer for his lack of knowledge.

Take the Trump Taj Mahal casino.
It was YUUGGGEE.
It was glorious.
He spared no expense.

The Donald hired the three best people in the casino business to run the thing.
Unfortunately all three were in the same helicopter when it decided to slam into the ground.
No survivors.
Trump was left with his finger up his butt and his “package” flapping in the wind.
No one else had any knowledge of how to run the thing and no one else in the industry wanted to touch it.
It dang near ended Trump’s career.
He had to basically sell everything, his yacht, plane and other properties to stay afloat.
All because he didn’t know the details of the casino business.

Grandiose statements, cool catch phrases and mudslinging may win him the election.
Lack of knowledge of the details may doom the country.
