Fox has been the biggest critic of Trump....I have been watching MSNBC, Fox, and CNN........and MSNBC (Especially Mornin Joe) has been the kindest to him.

Ever since Trump and Megyn Kelly got into it, they are extra hard on him.

The bottom line is the Polls are only good when they work like they say they do........When they hit it! they are awesome to look at.........but many times they are off...and then they suck.... :biggrin:

One thing I am learning about Trump is, he is only getting stronger and better....He is learning how to be a "Politician" as he goes.

I'm thinking, if things go as they are....it is going to be very interesting this summer.
Trump is only getting stronger and better....He is learning how to be a "Politician" as he goes. That is really funny! The reality is that Trump is beginning to get a clue that being good at one thing, like being a con man, does not make him an expert about everything. Why do you think he and Gov. Chris Christie are suddenly best buddies? Clue: the POTUS is not an independent operator. You can dismiss "Washington" and the federal government  as inept all you please, but the truth is that there are thousands and thousands of people, most decent hardworking people, who work behind the scenes to make the "government" work, as the politicians and other experts come and go.  Occasionally a real crook gets in and mucks things up for a while but the system works. We've survived as a nation so far and we'll survive Trump if he should get what he (thinks) he wants.  :sneaky:

I don't think there's any way Trump wins the general election.  And yes Hank, you can put that in your filing cabinet.

Con man my ass.....

He is a business man....who is a great leader....who is getting into the political world, running for POTUS........He is 69 years old, and has made more than enough money to satisfy his every desire.  He sees how screwed up our Country is....and he believes he can fix it.

It isn't as if he is going to get "rich" because of this.......he is already rich. It would be much easier to NOT run and continue doing what he has been doing the last several years.

But, he has an enormous ego....(which is okay as long as you can back it up) and I am willing to allow, one of the greatest executives our country has, to become the Chief Executive, something we have lacked in for decades now....

He has the intelligence to put some of the smartest people around him.......and accomplish some of the tasks he says he is going to do.  Fixing our economy is first and foremost.

I am eager to give him that opportunity.  What other choice do we have?  Clinton, will be four more years of what we are currently going through.  I am getting too old for that.  I need someone who is serious about fixing things asap.

I understand why you would think that.  Yes, I will file it away.  Time will tell.  Everybody keeps saying he can't do this and he can't do that........but, he HAS one of the greatest campaigns we have seen in years.  I think many people like you keep underestimating him. 

I'm more than willing to see him get a chance rather than Hillary Clinton, who is under FBI investigation, one of the most untrustworthy people that has been in the political world since Nixon.....yeah. I'm more than good with my choice.  I am rather excited for the possibility.

When you look at the 'Great Harrumph!(TM)' - whose real family name is Drumpf - and his supposed 'accomplishments', it certainly suggests 'con man' is a proper label for him.

Let's see you produce all the evidence that proves he's a 'great leader', one of the 'greatest executives our country has', or that he has great 'accomplishments'.  You can't and you know you can't.

You don't have a clue about the real problems in this country, or about how to fix them.

You also don't have a clue how .gov works, or you wouldn't think simply electing a president will solve problems. 

Face it, you're one of the sub-100 IQ nitwits who are at the root of the problems in our republic.

Here's the constituency Hank.  She made national television, and she's just one of the many garden-variety bigots that I mentioned before.

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Hey, Henry, do you remember when I said that as a person of color, Ben Carson would never get the nomination?

You are an idiot and will probably vote for Hill, if she makes it, just because she is a woman and tell us all we didn't because we're against women.  :rolleyes:

You can't even spell, "women," and I'm the idiot?  Illiterates should not be allowed to vote.

No; rubbing your nose in it is reward enough.  Expect more of this as my predictions continue to be proven true.   :biggrin:
