But they will still do it. In any case we are looking at a huge mess. I can't wait.<br /><br />If he got through the primaries the only way to stop him would be assassination.

It was because many of us Minnesotans were absolutely sick and tired of all the reheated bullshit from both of the other candidates. The canned responses, the promises to not do anything that would rock the boat unless it helped them, the way both of the other candidates wanted to raise taxes for their pet projects; only question being how much and which project... <br /><br />I see a little of this in Trump. He is not necessarily a good candidate, and won't necessarily be a good leader. He is saying a lot of the things that either of the main parties' anointed few won't dare to mention, and people are sick and tired of the same old garbage from both parties.<br /><br />I doubt he will win it, but maybe actually addressing issues will help weed out some of the other weasels.BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189315938678079340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-44564526605048150972015-08-25T15:44:38.211-04:002015-08-25T15:44:38.211-04:00Comrade Misfit, I hadn't seen that but agree w...Comrade Misfit, I hadn't seen that but agree with a lot of it. I'm still undecided - in some ways Trump looks like he's doing what Obama did in 2008 (Adam's point that people project their own desires onto him). On the other hand, and whether people like it or not, his Immigration proposal is pretty detailed.<br /><br />And there's still a voice in the back of my head that whispers "American Caesar" whenever I see him.Borepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029434172945099693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-43136574057709974282015-08-25T15:08:43.508-04:002015-08-25T15:08:43.508-04:00Hve you read Scott Adams's piece on Trump?Hve you read <a href="http://blog.dilbert.com/post/127479255236/trump-vs-bush-persuasion-wars" rel="nofollow">Scott Adams's piece on Trump</a>?Comrade Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404477636451308763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-11873499652082480102015-08-25T11:35:27.532-04:002015-08-25T11:35:27.532-04:00Regardless, it's going to be an interesting 16...Regardless, it's going to be an interesting 16 months... :-) Actual 'problems' getting brought to light is never a bad thing in my opinion!Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.com
