That being the case, he will stick to the current republican strategy of low wages, cutting taxes, and offshoring jobs.

Because he is a narcissist and craves attention I think Trump will say whatever it is that garners the most publicity and air time.<br /><br />With his background and long public record, all his flip flops, and etc. it is hard to know for sure. My sense is he could go either way. More of his current xenophobia, nationalism, misogyny, and bigotry, or, he might move to the left if elected. I for one do not wish to find out which it would be.Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-26721990183259496672016-03-13T12:49:37.987-04:002016-03-13T12:49:37.987-04:00Yeah, I don't think he "means well" ...Yeah, I don't think he "means well" either. My question is how much he believes what he's saying versus how much of it is said to dupe his supporters.Dervish Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13671865801885224353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-71370264912851637142016-03-12T20:30:49.977-05:002016-03-12T20:30:49.977-05:00"The man no doubt means well..."

Today a snarling<br />Trump blamed the fights at his last rally on 'that communist' Bernie<br />Sanders. The loud cheers of the faithful reflected what they wanted to<br />believe. I agree that Trump should be called out less we be treated to<br />the possible next stage...brownshirts, kristalnachts, loyal ruffians<br />and some sort of sickening American Reich. The man no doubt means well, but has not the character to resist the elixir of of his loyal<br />(and clearly mistaken) legion of minions. The hulking resemblance of<br />Christie to Hermann Goering doesn't help either!BB-Idahohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388509941702241290noreply@blogger.com
