I do not think that Donald Trump would be a good President. For one thing he is far too arrogant and I fear he would ignore the constitution even more than President Obama. However, the man is undeniably brilliant at telling people what they want to hear. For years we have watched liberals play the race card, the sex card and the income equality card to steal elections. Republicans have routinely responded to this nonsense by apologizing and surrendering. The latest example was when Republicans, petrified at being accused of shutting down the government, let Democrats push through this awful budget deal. Apparently no one in the Republican establishment figured out that after Gingrich shut down the government in 1995 Republicans ran the table the next election. They also missed the coincidence that Ted Cruz shut down the government in 2013 and was punished with the greatest Republican midterm sweep in our nation’s history. I honestly think that if Paul Ryan had the guts to shut down the government before funding Planned Parenthood the vast majority of Americans would have silently cheered. We will never know, because he folded like a cheap umbrella.
Donald Trump is a lot of things, but he is not stupid. He also knows how to play cards. Perhaps this comes from owning so many Casinos. Hillary has been playing the sex card from day one. Republicans have been too terrified to respond. Donald Trump may have just turned the sex card into a Trump card. Hillary Clinton is extremely vulnerable to the sex card. She is the polar opposite of a self-made female. That would be Sarah Palin. Hillary didn’t earn her way into political power, she married it. She not only tolerated the sexual misconduct of Bill Clinton, she enabled it. Trump called her on it and this is a really big deal. It may not win him the election, but it has the potential to absolutely destroy Hillary Clinton.
Perhaps Hillary will emerge unscathed. The main stream media has been carrying the water for her since day one. But I have a feeling this one is different. This one hits her where she is most vulnerable. If Hillary can’t play the sex card, she has no cards at all. Trump has a huge advantage in that he doesn’t even have to exaggerate anything. The truth is more than enough to destroy the myth of Hillary the self-made female super hero.
Hillary is bound to fight back by taking shots at Donald Trump and odds are she will have plenty of ammunition. But Trump thrives when people attack him. He just makes his attackers look small in the process. Trump is the master at that.
If nothing else, Trump has changed the game. Enjoy.

I see Trump as the lesser of two evils.
If Hillary’s mouth is open, she’s lying just as her husband did. Her attitude toward the military in general is unforgivable. Benghazi in particular. Our youngest son, 21 years in army and 5 times now in the war zone again has told us of the particulars for that shameful event. Email irresponsibility !!! Dangerously ignorant attitude about the second amendment ! Idiot of the first order and Democrat!
Trump, on the other hand , Is blustery and would appear to be out of control is nobody’s fool. I think he is fully aware of what he is doing just as in his business world. He is fully aware of what the limitations of being POTUS would mean. I think he is saber rattling to our enemies to get their attention thinking the can no longer be sure of where the balance of power lines really are after Obama’s blatant disregard for congressional limits to his dictates. To bad the parties couldn’t come up with a better slate!!!
I agree with you Trump and Hillary. I don’t understand why she’s even considered a worthy president, so will Bernie Sanders emerge as the democrat nominee. Don’t see how it’s Clinton, but I didn’t think our current Prez would be the nominee either.
