But listen to how many times he admits he gets his info from TV and he even said 'I only know what's on the internet!' TV and internet is his reference for information about anything not connected to his realestate.
He even tried to alibi his spoken misinformation on Time mag, saying he '..read it in the Time so blame them if I'm wrong.' Not very adult, forget presidential.

@GSD There is a serious misunderstanding in how you are reading my posts concerning the unfolding drama of the current political primary situation as I, and perhaps others make new comments, each day. Can't really say I speak for anyone else, but myself.
I am attempting to look at what is happening with the Trump campaign with an open mind, ever since it started to become clear that he was knocking out the establishment Republican's, left and right. If you weren't trying to make my comments personally stick to me, IRL, so you can gain some kind of moral upper ground that would be a clear bell clanger, end of match, how can I not vote for Hillary, now(!) — moment, then you might detect objectivity in the presentation of my posts in what is happening with the Donald Trump campaign. I do admit that it might lead me to appear to present in the manner of "devil's advocate".
I have repeatedly said, I would never have thought he could get this far, I can't believe half of what comes out of his mouth, yet, none of this apparently matters! I think the latest link I posted re: his "truthful hyperbole" makes much of this disconnect, much clearer for me on what is driving his success. Here is the link again: http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2016/03/28/3762742/trump-rhetoric-2/
The area where I have stated I am not being objective is in the support of Hillary. If all things were predictable with the old guard status quo Republican's, at this point I would seek to support Kaisch. However, my pragmatic side just doesn't think he will persevere and get the delegates needed.
Did you read any of the links I provided today? Did you read how much Trump's children are respected with their level of eduction and personal ethics and business success in China? Does that sound like kids who grew up to witness their mother being dragged by the hair and choked as a matter of course by their father? No, it doesn't. I have heard plenty of sexist, stupid comments by otherwise decent men, and my choice then is to attempt an empathetic education as to how their remarks are hurtful, or if that fails, not be involved with their conversations in the future.
Read the rhetoric link! It uses excerpts from his 1987 book, The Art of the Deal. Puts lots of his wackier remarks into perspective. Is it good? Or bad? The point that is fascinating me, is that neither of those judgments seem to matter! Truly remarkable what is happening. (And I am not personally involved in one tiny bit of it!)

I am purely enjoying the speculation and sometimes thoughtful debate and differing views as this unpredictable situation unfolds.
I actually understand your horror. I am pretty much powerless to do anything about it. I prefer to try and understand how we got here, that is about all that is left for me.

I am not even sure if Trump gets elected, how it will pan out, to tell you the truth. I have alluded to certain other scenarios that do appear to go against the previously known grain of what is normally expected of the USA. If I put on my "what if" hat, and think as objectively as I can, then, maybe there is something else, that will work better for America. Just suppose, if you want to try it with me, what would happen if we weren't so predictable to some of these more dangerous countries? What would happen if we stopped sending money to countries that have a more robust economy than our own? What would happen if we let the Arab/Muslim countries all alone to have their civil wars, since that is what they really want?
Sometimes, maybe the idea of being placated and sought out starts to sound better than apologizing and giving stuff away to those with no appreciation.

The 'giving stuff away' is bribery.
Civil war, yes let 'em have at it. But to assume that would exclude us from their desire to create carnage here is naive.
BTW, have you watched 'only the dead' yet? I'm going to watch dvr today. I started to watch yesterday, and
then a friend came over for dog training day.
