Trump resonates with normal, average Americans better than any President or candidate we've seen in our lifetimes.

The bottom-feeding vermin on the fringe left already had a strong foothold in 1992. And since then they have been allowed to take almost complete control of our national agenda and our national media. The relentless attacks spawned and led by that abominable media result from Trump getting his point across so well. He is the first significant threat to the advancement of their vile agenda that any of us have ever seen on the national political stage.
No, the reason Trump was elected and Perot wasn’t is because Perot ran as a third party candidate and Trump managed to get on the Republican ticket. And let’s be honest. If Justice Scalia hadn’t died, we would probably have Hillary Clinton as president today.

Belive me, I wouldn't be surprised if he was threatened in some way or another. what other reason would he be paranoid unless he was schizoid.

Many people have little understanding of the process of running a nationwide campaign without a party affiliation. Ballot access is a problem.

That's why the Republicans help the Greens with their petition drives for ballot access. That 2-3% of the vote the greens can syphon off makes a difference.

Well, you know what they say. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that someone's not out to get you.

Perot was right. I agreed with him than and now. Trump has to unravel 30 years of job-killing trade.

Frank,

Have you seen Seven Beauties?
A minor character played by Fernando Rey shouts out "man in disorder", gives the Italian salute and dives into a latrine shortly before the Nazis riddle the latrine with bullets.

Seven Beauties is about a man who is a petty Neapolitan hood who's whole life centers around his families honor. Time passes and he is thrown into a concentration camp where he learns that honor doesn't matter if you don't learn how to survive.

Yes, I voted for Bill Clinton in 1992. It was not long, before I realized I was told one thing and another happened.
Fascinating. I didn't know that the Red Pill was a "thing" in 1992.

Trade hasn’t killed that many jobs. Automation and technology have killed exponentially more jobs.

We'll tell them "Fellas, we'll take that same deal that we gave you, and they'll gridlock at that same point."

Everything I have read by any economist who wasn't pushing an agenda backs this up.
