Some Rube: "Trump is a smart man. Everyone hates him because he is vague, or points fingers. I'm sick of apologetic politicians, who haven't the intestinal fortitude to defend their own ideas, and just bend to what ever the loudest screamer is shouting. I for one want a strong President. And none are as strong as Trump."
Moi: "I'm a New Yorker and am rather more familiar with The Donald than you might be. All he's really done is take the various 'dog whistles' the GOP has used on the rubes for the past 48 years [since Nixon got elected] and shout them from the rooftop.
He was probably bored and got into this for the excitement. His "I could shoot someone and they'd still follow me" remarks shows that even he is surprised by his success. I doubt he really wants to be President, as much as it would feed his ego. He's been around long enough to know what an utter ratfuck the gig really is.
But hey, spud, knock yourself out. As a fellow New York asshole, I applaud his game. It's brilliant and shows what a bunch of suckers the GOP base really is, just as we New Yorkers have always believed."
