Thread: President of the US of A

It's a simple process , if your for free lunch programs vote for Hillary she really wants to Socialize, if earn you want this to stop, so we will vote for anyone who thinks we are being irresponsible with the working mans money, there now that's the lines that will be drawn. No career politician is going to take care of us, so maybe that's why Trump is appealing to a lot of people, he isn't a politician, and to further comment, we don't have it so tough right now, our kids and grandchildren are looking at a bleak future. Tc

What I find entertaining, these presidential candidates are just now figuring out what I have been saying for close to a month: Longer the others keep sharing votes (predominately Cruze & Rubio)...the longer that they guarantee Trump wins.

Apparently you need to speak to the candidates in a louder voice.

Actually, things are working out just fine...

Was out with friends last night. At one point I made a comment about Trump regarding his comment at the debate about making the military obey his commands. Someone muttered a reply, "He's evolving, he's evolving..." I didn't have a chance to ask this person what exactly was meant by that comment. But I started thinking about it. Are Trump supporters hoping, or expecting, that Trump, through this process of the primaries, or even election to the presidency, will somehow morph, or transform, into something? Something other than what he appears to be now? That at 69 years old, and after a lifetime of doing things his way, he will change and maybe mature? Grow into a statesman worthy of the office of president?

You have to understand how a deal works to understand what Trump has been doing since day one

He has told everyone multiple times but people are still relating to him as a politician and not a negotiator


When you work a deal you start from a position of power or "The asking price" and negotiate down
A politician tends to negotiate up..

Example

"I am going to deport 12 million illegals, build a wall and make Mexico pay for that wall" = The asking price

The current counter offer form Mexico from a couple of sources "We are not paying for the wall"

That is how Trump thinks, that is how any one who sells stuff thinks, He shoves the asking price in your face then backs it down as he goes along

Slap the price on the ceiling then negotiate as it comes down,, it is always easier to negotiate the price down then up any green pea salesperson knows this.. Politicians do not

I for one am hoping he does NOT grow into a neutered politician

""The people always have some champion
whom they set over them and nurse into greatness....
This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs
When he first appears, he is a protector.""

(Plato, The Republic...fourth century BCE)

By the way, does the Donald believe in evolution? I mean, I know it's just a theory and all, but does anyone know his opinion on the matter?

I think one of the problems is that a small but significant portion of the Republican party does not want deals - they want to get 100% at any cost.
