"The Don"

Every successful politician, and business person, has to sell themselves to either, the public, or a board of directors, respectively.  Once a deal is cut, usually by winning a hard earned vote, in both circumstances, and the office of President awarded to the politician, or the money is released to the business person, then the real job starts, free from the awful process of selling to the affected voters.

Don't get too nervous about this. I see it as an opportunity for our country to realign and adjust to what is reality, rather than what is politically acceptable, not politically correct. Look, I believe Mr Trump to be a very smart man, who just happens to have a very keen business finger on the pulse of America, at the moment. Who know's what Mr. Trump's true intentions are, or what the intentions of any politician are for that matter. We can only hope that we don't end up with another President like James Buchanon, for his inept leadership skills, or Andrew Jackson, father of the Democratic party, also nick named "Indian Killer" for proposing, and signing the nearly genocidal "Indian Removal Act of 1830."

I believe that this circus of a political system has been run by professional bullshit artists like the Clintons and Bushes, corporate lobbyists, network entertainment businesses parading as "news" company's, and deep pocketed king makers like the Koch brothers, for too long.  I think it's very humorous that a very successful American citizen is making a mockery of the political establishment in a (very familiar to me) New York fashion. 

Mr Trump is full well within his Rights, to exercise his desire to run this country, just as much as you, or any American born citizen is. Likewise, the voting American public has been entrusted by The Constitution, to choose, in their collective opinion through a popular vote, the best candidate for The President of the United States.  

This pre-election nomination process has been nothing, if but humorous to watch unfold. Quite frankly, I'm looking forward to the next few months.  The Republicans are self imploding at present, and it's cracking me up.  The Democrats are next, just wait for the show to unfold.  America, and the world, loves a good reality show. Well here it is! For at least the next 9 years, keep your eye on the American electoral process, it will be a good show, and it won't be on a "pay for" network!

Campy Out!

Spot on Roger!

I think it's a healthy process, that makes many in the "establishment" very uncomfortable. In the end I think it will make a stronger America whether you agree with Trump or not. The real test will come in the general election, and we'll find out whether we want to continue on a toxic path or start back to a truly great America

I agree with you and John. As far as the candidates go I'm not in favor of the Don, Hillary or Bernie. I just hope that the American voter will not pushes either direction we're presently headed with the"Don" or wih 4 more years of Obama like government.

Roger, I think you're missing a punchline here. The popular vote is meaningless, the electoral college actually chooses the president.

So what happens if an angry, 'I want a real change!' population says 'Trump!' and the establishments electoral cabal says 'Hillary'...?
