Is the Donald being sold short?

I don't think he'll be getting my vote.
TR lived a fairly honorable life as far as I know. Donald, not so
much. What you see is what you get.


I am not sure any of those weasels has lived what I would call an
honorable life.
I bet the Trump we see in the general (if he gets there) will not be
the guy we see now,
That is the biggest problem we have with this primary process.
The primary candidates need to appeal to their party's most far pout
fringe to win the primary, then they need to run to the center to be
elected. In the last half dozen presidential elections I have said,
they passed each other in the middle. That was really true with
Clinton and Dole. Clinton was already pretty far right by 96 and Dole
was to the left of him by the election.


Yesterday on the big morning TV news shows, Trump refused to walk away
from the support he is receiving from David Duke and the right-wing hate
groups and also defended his use of a tweeted quote from the fascist,
Mussolini.

He has said dozens of really horrific things over the past six months,
and he continues to say them. All these statements are on videotape.
They define Trump and he will not be allowed to walk away from them if
he gets the nomination. He is without question as sleazy as the GOP base
that loves him. He will be forced to be the guy he is now.

The attempt to show Trump in a favorable light in the comparison to
TR is odious.
