    The Mexicans will be pay for it!

    And if you wanna know the truth, the cost of not building the wall would far exceed the cost of maintaining it.

    Let's Be Real: Donald Trump Doesn't Really Want To Be President

    I do not believe that Donald Trump really wants to be president.

    In fact, behind all that arrogance and bravado, Trump is incredibly insecure and knows he's not prepared for the job. Nobody who talks so excessively about how rich, smart and lovable he is really believes it.

    I doubt Trump is very self-reflective, but even he knows he's way over his head, and he's more surprised than anyone that he's doing so well among Republican voters in the polls.


    Trump jumped into the race as a lark, to feed his ego, and his campaign took off far beyond his own expectations. He's milking it now, because he loves the attention, but he's also scared less that he might actually win the GOP nomination.

    At that point, his ignorance will be even more exposed than it is now.

    He won't be able to improvise his policy ideas on a day-by-day basis.

    And if it gets to the point where he has to debate Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden, he will collapse.

    Even more than now, he'll become a laughing stock.


    Trump doesn't have the patience, temperament, self-discipline or interest in policy issues that it takes to be president, and, deep inside, he knows it.

    The IMPORTANCE of DONALD TRUMP

    Far from destroying our democracy, he’s exposing all its phoniness and corruption in ways as serious as he is not. And changing it in the process.

    There is indeed a lighter way to look at Trump’s rise and his impact on the country. Far from being an apocalyptic harbinger of the end-times, it’s possible that his buffoonery poses no lasting danger. Quite the contrary: His unexpected monopoly of center stage may well be the best thing to happen to our politics since the arrival of Barack Obama.

    In the short time since Trump declared his candidacy, he has performed a public service by

    exposing, however crudely and at times inadvertently, the posturings of both the Republicans and the Democrats and the foolishness and obsolescence of much of the political culture they share. He is, as many say, making a mockery of the entire political process with his bull-in-a-china-shop antics. But the mockery in this case may be overdue,

    highly warranted, and ultimately a spur to reform rather than the crime against civic order that has scandalized those who see him, in the words of the former George W. Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson, as “dangerous to democracy.”


    Trump may be injecting American democracy with steroids. No one, after all, is arguing that the debates among the GOP presidential contenders would be drawing remotely their Game of Thrones-scale audiences if the marquee stars were Jeb Bush and Scott Walker. When most of the field — minus Trump — appeared ahead of the first debate at a New Hampshire forum broadcast on C-SPAN, it caused little more stir than a soporific pageant of congressional backbenchers addressing the empty floor of the House. Without Trump, even a relatively tame Trump, would anyone have sat through even a third of the three-hour-plus trainwreck that CNN passed off as the second debate?


    What has made him more entertaining than his peers is not his superficial similarities to any historical analogues or his shopworn celebrity. His passport to political s om has been his uncanny resemblance to a provocative fictional comic archetype that has been an invigorating staple of American movies since Vietnam and Watergate ushered in wholesale disillusionment with Washington four decades ago. That character is a direct descendant of Twain’s 19th-century confidence men:

    the unhinged charlatan who decides to blow up the system by running for office — often the presidency — on a platform of outrageous pronouncements and boorish behavior.

    Trump has taken that role, the an hesis of the idealist politicians enshrined by Frank Capra and Aaron Sorkin, and run with it.

    He bestrides our current political landscape like the reincarnation not of Joe McCarthy (that would be Ted Cruz) but of Jay Billington Bulworth.

    I wish so badly that someone would make a sequel to Triumph of the Will starring Donald Trump.

    Very Very Revealing

    I'm not sure how much play this will get.

    But this poll tells you a lot about the candidacies of Donald Trump and Jeb Bush.

    A new PPP polls shows Trump, not surprisingly, at the head of the GOP pack. But when PPP created head to head match ups with the other contenders, Carson, Fiorina, Rubio and Walker all beat Trump and in most cases handily.

    Except Jeb.

    Trump beat Jeb.

    So Trump really isn't that strong.

    He's just got a committed following that holds the ground in a crowded field.

    Another way of putting it is that as big a plurality as Trump has, the bigger deal is the majority that is clearly against him.

    Meanwhile, Jeb is weak and nobody likes him.

    the govt cannot place a "religious test for office", but voters sure can.

    Sooner or later, the nutty evangelical Christian Taliban will push Trump, "test" him, on his religiosity, and find that it's absent.

    There's not much new being said by him, at least not at the moment. He is just biding his time until the election.

    Then once he wins, he will do what we all know needs to be done.

    Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Bernie Sanders spoke Saturday to a half-empty gymnasium at Benedict College in South Carolina. The school is historically black, but the crowd appeared to be largely white.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/14/op...vote.html?_r=0

    Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke in Columbia, S.C., on Wednesday with African-American women and others who own small businesses... She still has a ways to go in generating enthusiasm, to judge from the empty seats in the room.

    " Trump brought his Bible along once again, and briefly addressed his faith between attacks on his rivals and Democrats."I believe in God. I believe in the Bible. I'm a Christian," he said. He ended by bemoaning the increased use of the term "Happy Holidays" in place of "Merry Christmas" as a sign that Christianity is under attack. As president, he said, he'd reverse the trend."

    Grindr announced the results of its election poll this week by noting that Trump had the support of 21 percent of Republicans users of the app. Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush trailed with 7 percent. Carly Fiorina and Ben Carson were backed by 5 percent of GOP users.
