Re: Neither Bush will endorse Trump
Heck, a Libertarian could actually win this one.
Just promise to build a Wall. But don't get into the specifics of where the Wall will be. If some folks want to assume it'll be on the southern border, fine. Maybe it'll encircle the District of Columbia instead.
Get sponsors for the Wall, so it won't be built using taxpayer dollars. And no overhead associated with sending collection noticed to Mexico.

Build a 2000 foot wall around each of Wall Street, DC and Hollywood and fill it up with water. That would resolve many of our problems.

Re: Neither Bush will endorse Trump
The most clownish explanation of these grandiose schemes was when he said that he was going to collect the cost of the wall from the illegals' remittances, the same illegals he's going he's going to deport. The whole thing is just a rah-rah cheer-leading device he can use to whip up his fan boys and girls...
Re: Neither Bush will endorse Trump
This joke goes all the way back to the Truman administration - Harry was speaking to a tribe of Indians in OK and, with each promise, the Indians would answer back with a resounding "Hoo-pah." HST (remember the "S" stood for nothing - he made it up because he had no middle name) thought that was cute, that they were cheering him in their native tongue. As he descended from the platform with the chief, the chief said "Careful, don't step in that pile of "Hoo-pah." Well, that's 95% of what you get in a Trump speech - Hoo-pah...

Hey Earle.....given the current presidential race....as you see it.....what role has the American voter played in the situation we find ourselves in today?
I'm curious as to your opinion(s) on that aspect. Thanks!

Re: Can Trump Really Win the Presidency?
IDK. I'll think about it. Offhand, the first thing which comes my mind is not the voters but rules made by the parties both at the national level and also at the state level. LOL! I looked up and I'd typed "boters." In the Smokies park, there's a broad trail going up from Greenbrier to the AT called the "Bote Mountain Road." The history of it is that, during the Civil War, the Confederates needed a road across the mountains to transport war materiel. They asked the Cherokees, who have no "v" in their language. The ridge they approved thus became "Bote Mountain." The adjacent ridge they turned down became "Defeat Ridge."

These articles trying to explain Trump pop up every few days, but I agree with this one mostly.

Re: Can Trump Really Win the Presidency?
what they all leave out that should be there
25 years (ish) of right wing radio telling their core that the "establishment" was letting them down plus the continued dumbing down of the messages and a few cycles of losing, badly, at the national level left a ripe and dumb audience eager for an authoritarian "winner". Trump exploited this brilliantly

Re: Can Trump Really Win the Presidency?
I just think its not some random accident, or that he stumbled into the nomination. The man is an actor, a good one. I disagree with him most of the time, but I think he is smarter than people give him credit for.if he's a sports car, he's a delorean
Re: Can Trump Really Win the Presidency?
smart? maybe. extremely competent at spotting a mark and then exploiting them? absolutely. [see jon's post above]
i agree that he didn't just stumble into the election. the groundwork for this on the conservative "side" has been laid for years. [ibid.]
eta: something i recently saw, trump is not the disease, he is the symptom
