Trump should be barred from running, page-241

that’s very true. Given that trump appeals to people who, for the large part, have lost trust in government and big business he consistently uses that distrust for his own purposes

that there are so many writing on hotcopper who support him and believe him confirms that view.

what I can’t ever quite understand is why people can’t see past his bluster and bs. He’s a narcissist and always has been. Take one look at any old video or news clip about him - and there are plenty. He craves wealth and status and the evangelical, prosperity Christian’s who did a deal with him know he can be bought.

he is NOT interested in a better society, a society where capital trickles down, a more educated, robust society or in anything much that results in a better standard of living across America. Yeah sure he says that but it’s words and that’s it

there are millions of cues to who he is and he is agile and adept at presenting the opposite of what disenfranchised Americans see in the democrats

but the problem is the democrats have nurtured no one. They’ve stuck to the same formula. The support hawks. They can’t show how they will give without taking. They have tired old hacks trotting out the same stuff in a country where people have had enough but their gullibility, poor education, self indulgent and individualistic approach to life mean they can’t see the wood for the trees

focusing on trumps promise not to have wars, to give pride back - they might sound attractive but beware of unintended consequences
