What's Happening to Trump's Campaign?

How about revolution? With me as absolute dictator!

Free beer for everyone! 

My first act will be to abolish the Republican Party!

...........UM...............beer?????  Free ice cream?  Now you're talking!!

My first response was, "Yes, it's about time," because I see the Federal government as being more sane than state government, but on further consideration state power my afford as some necessary checks and balances.  Although, at this time, state governments are often whacky and idiotic.  You get to meet these low level politicians personally, and they are not impressive people, often dumber than some of the worst of the national politicians.

But that comparison may not always remain true.  Right now, I'd take all power out of the hands of the states.  Someday, I suppose I could regret it, although honestly, I think that's doubtful.

The state governments that can't deficit spend are OK.  North Dakota for example is one of the best run states in the US, and they have a fair and safe state banking system.  The problem with taking power from the states is ... it is very hard to give it back.

Science folks should vote only for science folks (divide and conquer special interest politics) ... but they can't because academics are too jealous of each other, they would each vote for themselves ... think Sheldon Cooper on the campaign trail ;-)

Science doesn't mix with religion, and it doesn't mix with politics.  Unless your Deepak Chopra.  Well, it does mix with politics, but it's more like an unwanted contaminant in the test tube.

Senator Proxmire would agree.

The study grants, where the government pays a biologist to bash monkeys in the head, to study brain trauma ... they should have used Senators ;-)

Man, even after having his twitter taken away by staffers (and this from a guy who wants to be entrusted with the nuclear launch codes), he's still making a fool of himself.  Eh, might as well let him.  Every time he opens his mouth, Clinton gets 100 more votes.

Also, I think I've figured out how his tell.  Whenever he uses superlatives or uses "some people" to give a claim an air of authority without being specific, he's definitely lying.  Some people say that triangles have three sides, some people also say that the moon is made out of cheese.

As that world famous philosopher said--It ain't over 'til it's over!

And as Carvell  said--Campaign?  What campaign; he doesn't have one.

Sadly, he did.

[Mike Cl]

Sadly, he did.

The understatement of the century!!!

I thought that was in 2012 ... with 1 billion for Obama alone ;-(

The winner always is judged to have had a genius strategy. Even if he didn't.  Sometimes no one knows what will work until afterwards.
