Trump Alone at the Top


Recommended Posts

So we've all heard. Sing me another song.

 

Pass.

 

I'll stick with this song, and just wait for rest of you to realize you'll have to sing along before it's over.

 

I genuinely wish the consequences weren't so dire so I could just sit back, point and laugh when it's done.

 

Unfortunately, it won't be funny, and standing around saying "Gee, I guess I was wrong about Trump" won't be enough to make you feel better.

What's my opinion on Trump? That he'll irreparably destroy the GOP? God, I hope I'm right.

If you think that the consequences are only about destroying GOP, you're sadly mistaken. You'd figure that 8 years under an unqualified thin skinned POTUS would have chastened some people. Guess not.

I don't. But what are the alternatives? Hillary? I'm sure she's consequence free :rolleyes:.

Hiliary, Trump, Bernie, Cruz, Kasich

Regardless who gets elected in November, the next 4 years are going to to get messy.

 

Might as let it all come crashing down around Hiliary

That is interesting.

I'd say it's too late to stop this train. Prepare to finger point at fake conservatives.

Too late for that too. Trumpters are the guys who created demolition derbies out of car races

Subject: AN INTERESTING ANALYSIS OF DONALD TRUMP!

Best explanation I’ve seen yet. Makes no difference what your personal

opinion of Trump is, it would be hard to argue with this one. Take a minute

or two to read this.

The following is from an article by Mychal Massie on January 19, 2016 in

Daily Rant, Race & Politics 5 .

Agree or disagree, it is a good, worth while read; regardless of which side

of the aisle you sit on. I submit it only as information .

Trump Is Not A Liberal or Conservative, He’s A Pragmatist

We recently enjoyed a belated holiday dinner with friends at the home of

other friends. The dinner conversation was jocund, ranging from discussions

about antique glass and china to theology and politics. At one point

reference was made to Donald Trump being a conservative to which I responded

that Trump is not a conservative.

I said that I neither view nor do I believe Trump views himself as a

conservative. I stated it was my opinion that Trump is a pragmatist. He sees

a problem and understands it must be fixed. He doesn't see the problem as

liberal or conservative, he sees it only as a problem. That is a quality

that should be admired and applauded, not condemned. But I get ahead of

myself.

Viewing problems from a liberal perspective has resulted in the creation of

more problems, more entitlement programs, more victims, more government,

more political correctness, and more attacks on the working class in all

economic strata.

Viewing things according to the so-called Republican conservative

perspective has brought continued spending, globalism to the detriment of

American interests and well being, denial of what the real problems are,

weak, ineffective, milquetoast, leadership that amounts to Barney Fife

Deputy Sheriff, appeasement oriented and afraid of its own shadow. In brief,

it has brought liberal ideology with a pachyderm as a mascot juxtaposed to

the ass of the Democrat Party.

Immigration isn't a Republican problem – it isn't a liberal problem – it is

a problem that threatens the very fabric and infrastructure of America. It

demands a pragmatic approach not an approach that is intended to appease one

group or another.

The impending collapse of the economy isn't a liberal or conservative

problem, it is an American problem. That said, until it is viewed as a

problem that demands a common sense approach to resolution, it will never be

fixed because the Democrats and Republicans know only one way to fix things

and the longevity of their impracticality has proven to have no lasting

effect. Successful businessmen like Donald Trump find ways to make things

work, they do not promise to accommodate.

Trump uniquely understands that China’s manipulation of currency is not a

Republican problem or a Democrat problem. It is a problem that threatens our

financial stability and he understands the proper balance needed to fix it.

Here again successful businessmen like Trump who have weathered the changing

tides of economic reality understand what is necessary to make business work

and they, unlike both sides of the political aisle, know that if something

doesn't work, you don't continue trying to make it work hoping that at some

point it will.

As a pragmatist Donald Trump hasn't made wild pie-in-the-sky promises of a

cell phone in every pocket, free college tuition, and a $15 hour minimum

wage for working the drive-through a Carl’s Hamburgers.

I argue that America needs pragmatists because pragmatists see a problem and

find ways to fix them. They do not see a problem and compound it by creating

more problems.

You may not like Donald Trump, but I suspect that the reason people do not

like him is because: (1) he is antithetical to the “good old boy” method of

brokering backroom deals that fatten the coffers of politicians; (2) they

are unaccustomed to hearing a candidate speak who is unencumbered by the

financial shackles of those who own them vis-a`-vis donations; (3) he is

someone who is free of idiomatic political ideology; and (4) he is someone

who understands that it takes more than hollow promises and political

correctness to make America great again.

Listening to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders talk about fixing America is

like listening to two lunatics trying to “out crazy” one another. Jeb Bush

and Marco Rubio are owned lock, stock, and barrel by the bankers,

corporations, and big dollar donors funding their campaigns. Bush can deny

it but common sense tells anyone willing to face facts is that people don't

give tens of millions without expecting something in return.

We have had Democrats and Republican ideologues and what has it brought us?

Are we better off today or worse off? Has it happened overnight or has it

been a steady decline brought on by both parties?

I submit that a pragmatist might be just what America needs right now. And

as I said earlier, a pragmatist sees a problem and understands that the

solution to fix same is not about a party, but a willingness and boldness to

get it done.

People are quick to confuse and despise confidence as arrogance, but that is

common amongst those who have never accomplished anything in their lives,

and who have always played it safe not willing to risk failure.

That's got about the same amount of substance as Trump.

I am not a Trump supporter, but my post was about one man's opinion that could have some merit. Our options are not good here. I could never vote for Hillary or Sanders. Like what I expect a lot of people feel, I'm bewildered, but in an almost morbid sort of way. I know I could vote for Kasich and Cruz if they were the nominee. A Trump vote would be difficult but it appears like he will be the only option to Hillary. 2016 seems like the year of the conundrum.

So just don't vote.
