May 5, 201610 yr From today's Washington Post: "Party leaders are scrambling to stave off a parade of prominent Republicans endorsing Clinton, but already there were notable defections. The two living Republican past presidents, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, have no plans to endorse Trump, according to their spokesmen. "In the swing state of Nevada, Gov. Brian Sandoval, a moderate Republican and rising Latino star, said he plans to vote for Trump despite their disagreements on some issues. But Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) said that “I vehemently oppose our nominee” because he disparaged women, Hispanics and veterans — although Heller insisted he would not vote for Clinton."

May 5, 201610 yr Hopefully, the Russians and Chinese will feel the same way!!!!!!!!! Gotta admit - I'm not in the trigger-happy camp.
May 5, 201610 yr The senior senator from Kentucky says Trump is his guy. More from post #151: "Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is standing by Trump.

May 5, 201610 yr The populous is reportedly tired of politics as usual and wants change. Yet despite a rather large field of candidates, at least on the Republican side, the American people have chosen the two most corrupt, power-hungry, narcissistic candidates they had available. Seems like business as usual to me. Perhaps this says something about the populous.
May 5, 201610 yr And that will be Trump's downfall if Hillary plays it right. Trump does not need to attack her personally. The right wing media will do that for him. He needs to attack her policies and issues and try to get under her skin that way. It will require the skills of a political judo master to walk that fine line. And I don't believe she has those skills.
May 5, 201610 yr Please explain. He's a mercenary who's bottom line is the dollar. He's not going to hit the red button as it means huge losses. Despite all his bluster he is not insane or stupid. There's not a national US politician out there who's going to go off and hit the red button. Not a one. Not sure why anyone would even give it a thought. There isn't a red button.

In reality, technology has cost the average Joe his manufacturing job. Blame the robots. Blame software. That's not changing. Trump knows this but that doesn't play well. Smart of him.
May 5, 201610 yr Trump is , smartly, playing to people who want to blame someone or some group for losing jobs. I blame the group in Washington for letting us lose jobs overseas. Its not the illegals taking the jobs, its the regulations DC has that makes us lose jobs. And the Unions dont help either. Trump is right. In reality, technology has cost the average Joe his manufacturing job. Blame the robots. Blame software. That's not changing. Yes to some degree. Trump knows this but that doesn't play well. Smart of him. Trump will get America in better shape, granted if the lazy Americans want to work or just let welfare take care of them.
May 5, 201610 yr I've accepted the fact that Trump is going to be the President. The scariest part is NOBODY knows what he will do with the office.

Seems like business as usual to me. Perhaps this says something about the populous. You make a good point. It looks like we are going to get the President we deserve instead of the one we need no matter how it turns out in November.:( The only real hope we have is an indictment of Clinton and the Dems pulling the plug on her and inserting Biden instead. I doubt we could be so lucky though.
