He can simply spew brazen, incoherent bullshit, contradicting himself from one day to the next, and his supporter will love him just the same because of his putative "sincerity" and garish "success." "What he has done" is irrelevant to having what it takes to be a responsible and constructive world leader.<br /><br />When he does amble off into "answering" a policy question, it can be painful to witness. e.g., Trump on Iranian nukes (verbatim, video at C-SPAN): <br /> <br />"Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."<br /><br />http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4546796/donald-trump-sentence<br /><br />No, "anonymous," I'm precisely on point.BobbyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03807934795994985233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067383035450126802.post-83574819068839495942015-09-07T18:18:34.886-07:002015-09-07T18:18:34.886-07:00Such analytical trash--it astoundingly misses the ...Such analytical trash--it astoundingly misses the point of why people are supporting Mr. Trump. Words, as we have seen over and over and over and over again in political campaigns, are meaningless. Trump supporters have stopped playing that game. They see what Mr. Trump has done and they see he can do it for the country--and them. Mr. Trump could shave his head at this point and wear aluminum foil around his ankles and people would still vote for him--because Mr. Trump will ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING positive for the country, not just spout empty words.
