I won't disagree that Trump is a "Theatrical media artist." He's just a lousy one in the political arena. He has more misses than hits. He also undervalues the people who want to see what he come to fruition or, at least, die after a strenuous effort. He well may have won the last election but it would have been impossible to have been in dispute if he hadn't of alienated a good portion of his voting base that want "Where the rubber meets the road." This is not to say that he didn't do some great thing, given the circumstances. But, his theatrical performance let a lot of people down. With the media? He invited Bob Woodward in. He's set himself up so many times.
It is difficult to believe that people in Trump's audience hate illegals. It is my opinion that they hate them being here. Come in the right way. They hate that the Democrats have opened the flood gates. I can't read minds. But, that is my take.
I can't imagine why anyone would inconvenience themselves to go a political rally of any kind. I also can't write off the people who do as having the same motivations for personal circumstances.
Good actors who were too ugly for Hollywood? LOL. I've heard that before. I see what you mean. But, I find the comparison to be trivial. A lot of people, of all different flavors fit that bill.
F451, do you realize how much we have in common? Voting tendencies, disgust with the government and media, love of dogs with a preference of labs, home schooling, hanging out in fetish discussion forums, both lived in the North East, ties to Italian Culture, an appreciation for authentic pizza and, I'm sure there is a lot more. It doesn't mean we would follow the same behavioral paths in various situations. Even Soapy and I have enough in common that a list could be compiled.
I don't have Sirus but will see if I can find Kelly's piece on Kennedy Jr. He's a brilliant speaker with historical and detailed facts on his side. His flip flopping and self contraindications...along with what you are telling me now was enough to turn me around on respect for him. I tend to think it is the liberal wife who has him wrapped around her finger, to the point, he backed down from his strong says a lot. This reminds me, add to the list of similar views we have...I think the Kennedy family is scum too. I've been quite outspoken about that, especially Ted.
And, yes, I know you are a Trump supporter. I have a list of grievances with him as well. We just differ on what our overall views of him and core supporters are.
