Any questions about the psychology of trump?
Any questions about what kind of president he might be, what kind of America we'll live in under this guy?

Don't know about you but it seems that everytime I begin to give this guy a break...he says something really stupid or potentially destructive.

    What's a Republican. What's a Republican Party? The history of political satire at best poltical jokes at worse and in truth the yippy yappy lap dogs of the left wing socialist fascist movement. Term2 deserves their top spot for all his hard work than do those he worked for and i see McCannon bailed again or I'd include him.- or her. when it's over remember two things. The Rino Party is the right wing of the left and there is NO Dumbo Party only Dumbies.

    Trump, Paul, all fo the are actors in the sreet theater charade which in the end produces a meaningless popular vote a meaningful electoral college vote and ....four years if we're unlucky before the next street theatre charade. As I said at the beginning the winning party will get 95% of the votes cast - and counted.

    Following the script? Theyi need a way to get him out now he's destroyed all the opposition candidates or for whatever purpose they were supposed to be breathing air.

    Given a choice of Seig Heil I'm a dumb ass joke or Comrades we serve the party who do you think will get the still useless popular vote.

    One more good manufactured crisis and the Witch is home free to claim the china and retaltiate. I'm staying in FNA.

    As much as I don't want that socialsit fascist crybaby in tjhe office I have to ask how DENSE are you to ask such as question. We just went through that with the GOP's one legal chance to dump Trump . Which makes me think they are really working for a combination of national and internatinal socialism.

    The freaking parties have the only power by law to run their selection of candidates during the priamary season which isn't over until the last delegate vote is counted and confirmed.

    Duuuuhhhhh.

    They can have the President of France, the First Lord of the Admiralty of the British Navy and the designer of the Kilo sub in to chat from behind the lectern on top the podium of those conventions. They can have a 12 year old martian? They can have me! If they pay my price. What do you mean. hell The others are at least candidates. Maybe they are all going to fall on their swords and we can watch the blood run.

    Next time we hear this level of question will be when a non lawyer gets nominated for Supreme Court.

    get a life and get an education.

    Agree, it is speculation. How could it be otherwise since neither Cruz or Kasich are the nominee or even the presumptive nominee. I base it on thmy observation of their actions while conducting their campaigns.
    As far as narcissism goes, anybody that runs for political office, especially the presidency has to be somewhat narcissistic, or at least something of an egoist (yes I meant egoist not egotist). You don’t get to the positions of power held by these “gentlemen” without being that way, you have to believe in yourself and be willing to fight for what you think right even if no one else does.
    Anyway, enough junior psychologist crap. Enjoyed the exchange, keeps me thinking and reasoning. Keep up the “agent provocateur” role.

    Is it not blind confidence? or at least a hope that observations are not accurate, not to mention his actions and speech are somehow a calculated plan...(I don't see any evidence of his ability to purposely calculated anything...he just shoots off the cuff without thinking) There is a word for this..."Firing off a thought before his mental piston has reached top dead center". I know someone here can tell us what that "Word" is.
    No reflection on you jhagen...just saying...

    you are right. I was assuming that they are same now as before. I wonder then what she objected to while she was alive. I thought it was intellectual inconsistency

    Everything about the GOP disgusts me. I don't know how Ron and Rand Paul can stomach it.
    Trump fits in there almost as well as he does with the Dems.
    Voting for the GOP is giving consent to serfdom.

    While I suspect they all are more statist than we'd like -- they are trying to be in charge of the state after all, the convention is part of the campaign and the candidate manages the process.

    Were you a big fan of Cruz trying to manage the delegate selection so that he got his people as delegates irrespective of how the voters had voted?

    Don't make assumptions about what Rand would think today. These guys are nothing like the libertarians that Rand knew.

    Trump represents crony capitalism. He embodies it. Its his SOP. Trump cut crony capitalism? Only if it adds to his hold on dictatorship.

    So Trump buys in to the statist rules whenever it's advantageous. More evidence that Trump is just another statist ... as long as Trump is the monarch. Vintage Trump. He shouldn't be trusted to run a garbage truck (or anything else.)

    But, the guy running the show is the winner. Last time Mitt Romney changed the rules to keep Ron Paul from being nominated and getting air time. It's not a public forum it is an orchestrated campaign kickoff.

    He can say anything he wants in a public forum -- the convention floor isn't one.

    And, I like Cruz. Other than Ron Paul, I think his positions are more aligned with mine. My concern with him is that he is really good at making principled stands but not particularly good at getting others to do what he wants. I don't want a dictator I agree with, I want someone who can build a consensus.

    I think Trump will do better at getting things done -- and I like most of his positions. No one is going to give me everything I want. Anyone trying to cut into the crony capitalism is going to face a firestorm. I think Trump can withstand it better.

    By you own definition then Cruz's "Fate" would be to bring some sanity and adherence of the Constitution to the table. Nothing says he has to support anyone or even say so in that public forum.

    It's how modern conventions work. They have become the big promotional kick-off for the campaign. They are organized to make the candidate look good. They are a show.

    If you aren't going play the part that fate has assigned you, you don't get to be in the show.

    They looked like a couple of guys sitting at a bar and talking about running for president and vice president worrying about looking politically correct instead of just correct.
