Now that my friend is just ignorant, by doing so you assure that the felon Hillary will appoint up to a possible 4 supreme court judges.
What felony has she been convicted of? The American notion is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. I think rhetoric that does that principle a disservice does the Republic one too. And I'm not in her corner.
Trump is a flawed candidate in many ways but, I do feel he is a populist not an ideologue and will make picks that will bring him the public adulation he desires.
I think he uses popular opinion. I don't think he really cares about it, which is why he's comfortable talking about any number of things, from his faith to sex without regard for the prevailing wind. He understands that what he mostly has to do is keep selling the message that Republicans have been leaning on for a while, from mistrust of power and marginalization of the dominant culture to fear of the "other". Wrap that in "take it back" and "great again" rhetoric and you don't even have to have many particular ideas about what you're taking where or how.
Here's the operating principle that kills me about the right's response to Trump...A guy comes to your business. He's charismatic, loads of energy, a number of ideas you like and he wants to work for you. He tells a joke he shouldn't in the interview, but hey, who loves PC anyway and this guy speaks his mind, which you decide is refreshing...He doesn't have any real experience in your line, but he's some success and failures, life experience at other pursuits. He tells you that he's sure he can galvanize your workforce and make a difference, get your company on the fast track. And all he needs from you is a chance to go to work. . . as the head of your company.
lain:
After most of you stopped laughing and shaking your head, you'd probably offer him some entry to low mid level (depending on the ideas, etc.) and let him harness that ego and drive or, if it was the top or nothing, show him how a door works. But this guy...this guy you want to make President.
Remarkable.
Trump may be flawed but, I believe he really does want to do right by this nation in the end
I think he just wants to be President. A guy with a yen for public service doesn't start this late or seriously think of the top spot as an entry level position. But maybe he does care. Maybe he's caught a late passion and means to do right by us...then again, Carter wanted to do right by the nation. I think Trump will, if successful in his bid, look more like Carter than Reagan. He's not going to change the power structure because the same rank and file who complain about it as a concept like their particular guy who is a part of it. And that power structure is having to drag itself into the idea of supporting him in any substantive sense.
