Trump is the ultimate narcissist and he has everyone hanging on his every word. Sad, just sad...

What's sad is that he is saying things the GOP base wants to hear.... name calling, racisim, personal attacks... private cell phone numbers given out.. and they LOVE it. So far, Trump hasn't come up with one single viable policy.. Build a wall and charge Mexico? Gimme a break.
 
A book on narcissism I read not long ago used Trump as an example showing a photo of his private jet with his name emblazoned on the side. Further his name is on his casino and the Trump Tower. I have given up pretty much on politicians other than for their entertainment value, at least he is that...

Trumps popularity is from the people that like honesty, lack of political type double talk, which means blunt and direct. Plenty of folks in the US prefer basic talk to the nonsense these political folks like to talk.

We still have about a year till the real election time stuff actually starts. Lots of changes will happen by then for both parties and independents. We need such a shake up in our politics. Far too much political nonsense and not enough leadership happening for many years now.

I think a lot of Republican voters are tired of being taken for granted and insulted. The war hero comment itself was a low blow but McCain didn't help himself with the crazies comment which publicly insulted Trump and supporters. Graham didn't help himself either with the jacka$$ comment. They made it personal in public and are now whining Trump is publicly responding. They complain about Trump's reactionary responses but I'm just as worried at the public looks of consternation and attitude the RINOs are showing when talking about Trump or the issues he raised. This primary is not business as usual and the RINOs that are nothing but "professional" politicians seem to be having the hardest time. They comment what Trump would do in a crisis. Judging by the looks and attitude on the RINOs faces I'd be just as worried about their responses.

The canned and scripted answer approach won't work as well in the past for any "professional" politician. Even Sanders and O'malley got heckled over the all lives matter comment. People want what they want, it's not about the candidate they want. Issues will have to be addressed much more directly now.
 
If everyone dropped party affiliations and went independent, we might make a bit of progress in the right direction. And no, I don't mean Independent party. I mean do your own thinking and make up your own mind instead of chowing down on the party line.

If anyone watches Jon Stewart On The Daily Show, you must have had some good laughs recently as Jon set his sights on The Donald. SO funny, even funnier than Donald himself.

I also caught part of a phone interview with Donald by Martha Raddatz in which Donald said:

"My hair is just fine"

I know this thread is for serious discussion but I can't help commenting on the hilarity of Donald Trump. Ok, I'll stop now.

Just saw this today and thought it was cute. Seriously though, Trump is an entertainer, wouldn't want someone who blurts out trash like that all the time as president.

Trump still the leader and the Washington Post survey is only good for that moment. Surveys do change by the moment.

Wait till next year and see who is still running, who is doing best in the talk fests they will all need to perform in before the party sets their candidate for the election. Then, after the candidate is selected, we will see more meaningful percentages and possible winners.

Don't like Trump, he may not be back in the real election campaigns. In the meantime he is pointing out to the public, that a lot of folks really don't like or trust the professional politicians much at all. Maybe it is time for the professionals to take note and get more direct and honest in their performances.

I'm sorry if you think that's wrong. Those of us who lived through that crap RIGHT here know better. Cover-ups don't fool those who had a vested interest.

I lived in Arkansas (Madison County) during the entire period that Bill Clinton was governor. I voted for him when he ran for and lost the congressional seat in NW Arkansas. I voted for him for governor every time he ran and thought he was a splendid governor and I thought Hillary was a remarkably articulate first lady. As I recall most of my friends supported him as well. When Bill ran for president he carried Arkansas both in 1992 and 1996. I don't see why you suggest Bill and Hillary weren't liked in Arkansas.

Hi Bob, Well you certainly can't argue with that. Hope all is well with you.

...................................

Hi Drifter. Well I am doing fine these days. But in April my wife had a heart attack and I lost much of April, all of May and much of June for her hospitalization and recovery hospital. Then we had at home medical following and training. Now in July she is beginning to reaffirm her position of boss in this house. So I think we are past the worst and moving forward again. Next week she will be registered into a physical fitness class. To learn about body movements, balance, build some strength. Sounds like something I may need too.

Got to end now as many folks don't like diversions from their threads. I don't know why as threads are really just conversations.

Sure, threads are conversations, but the site isn’t a free-for-all chat room (like the old AOL and Yahoo chat rooms) that goes on endlessly and disrupts the flow of a discussion about a specific topic. Otherwise it wouldn’t be divided into specific forums and there would be no reason to bother with thread titles. I see nothing wrong with organization and focus.

See nothing wrong with you answering a question, BobF.
