    There are millions of people who will believe anything when their ears are tickled correctly. Sad.

    He has those kinds of tics himself--especially when mocking and ridiculing people like ..oh...disabled reporters and even his new bestie Saint Bennie Carson.

    Cruz isnt a winning card by any means. He has lost to Trump is a LOT of states, he is hated by his fellow senators, and he is a religious zealot who will use government to further his religious beliefs (whatever his version of god tells him to do)

    If it came down to Trump being not on the ballot, and it was Cruz or Hillary, I would probably vote for him. But he is a bit too slick for me, and he is in the pocket of wall street people with the contributions they made to his campaign. He also got caught in some campaign lies relative to sneaky tricks he played on Carson.

    Cruz has taken a LOT from wall street, as has Hillary. His wife works for Goldman. He will have to pay those people back with favors.

    My decision to send jobs to china has to do with the ridiculously oppressive laws concerning emloyees in america, and the entitled nature of most american employees. Chinese employees have simply out-competed american workers in attitude and willingness to work for less. Without reducing costs, we would simply be out of business period. There wasnt an alternative. Bush and Obama printed so much money that costs would have risen as inflation permeated the economy. China has saved us (temporarily) from realizing that inflation.

    I remember his first televised press conference. I was five. I set up shoe stretchers on a shoe rack to look like the microphones. Pretty much formative years for me, part of the daily routine (a few years later) was reading the morning paper before I went to school and the grown-ups went to work. In the evening, we often had another paper - not too often: the publisher was a Democrat - and then the evening news after dinner. Dinner was always done in time for the news.

    Having grown up like that, current affairs are pretty easy, and, yet, somehow less satisfying. I wonder what a time travel story would be like with Donald Trump Now dropped on 1958. He would know what to buy, but I doubt that he would be considered presidential material.

    Thanks for the recommendation. I just requested Eisenhower: A LIfe by Paul Johnson from my local library. I did not mean that Eisenhower was not an able administrator. It was what he excelled at, actually. After West Point and time in command, he completed the equivalent of a master's degree in military industrial management. His having been the five-star general pretty much speaks to his ability to coordinate complex projects such as winning World War II in Europe.

    But he was not active in civilian politics. Nixon, Johnson, and others also served in World War II. But for them, that was a page or an episode. They were politicians, men of the people, friends of the powerful, and all that. That was why Eisenhower needed Nixon in the White House.

    But, again, thanks for the recommendation.

    President Trump will not be happy to hear that you killed good-paying American jobs and sent wok to China.

    You are only hearing from Donald Trump what resonates with your values. That is essential to coalition politics. The fact remains that you have an operational contradiction if you support Donald Trump and lay off American workers by sending their jobs to China.

    If you are facing foreign competition, then perhaps you need a tariff. I am pretty sure that President Trump would listen to that proposal from a loyal supporter.

    I found the answer to a question sometime back most interesting. Trump explained that who he appears to be seeking a nomination is not who he will be when running for president and who he will be as president will be different as well. This does not make me feel warm and fuzzy but at least he was being honest.

    I think we are 100% sure what Sanders would do, and that's finish socialism. We are almost 100% sure what Hildebeast would do, and that's fulfill her promises to her big supporters. Trump is a bit more of a wild card. He doesn't have supporters to pay homage to. He is pretty much out there and honest. That's better odds for us

    I would be happy with van obstructionist government that passed nothing rather than more of the same stuff

    I dare say Donald's reason for running is not to expose those who did / didn't do "bad". He's only said he would 'look over everything' and then make a decision.

    He has said he hates all the deals we've made - NAFTA, TPP, the Cuban ordeal, and the Iranian ordeal. He has not, however, said what he'd actually do. And, I seriously doubt he'd go around blaming people---it does nothing for him, it accomplishes very little.

    Trump - when he sees a goal he wants to attain - finds ways to get to that goal. That's an admirable quality. However, does the American public want to go where Trump does? That is a question NO ONE can answer. Trump is a complete Wild Card. Could be black, could be red. Might be even. Maybe odd. Are you willing to gamble? (Trump's a casino man, you know... best not to mess with the House.)
