I think what you see is what you get - and what you will get is an immature, undisciplined, know-nothing madman with no impulse control run amok in the White House.
He won't listen to any of the so-called experts he'll surround himself with anymore than he listens to Paul Manafort and the other campaign advisors, he has now.
Even worse, he can't be bothered to read or seriously study up on anything.
He's telling the whole world who he is - and, yet, people want to believe it's all a facade.
Like PT Barnum says "you'll never lose money betting on the stupidity of the American people." Looks like at least 49% of the electorate have bought his bullsh*t.
I wish this weren't so - because I am a proponent of a very strict immigration policy and against the TPP. We've got lousy choices this year, that's for sure.

Just a savvy businessman who knows how the system works and knows how to change it.
That's right.
The answer to the poll question is that he's neither. He's just real....in a political world that has had zero tolerance for reality for a generation and more. He's a real American - in stark contrast to most of his financially elite peers. And his personal wealth enables the courage and self-confidence to speak his mind about his country's best interests. His kind of leadership can only come from a person who is not owned....like the vast majority of the rest of us are....and has his flair for celebrity.
He is a very rare combo of characteristics that couldn't be better suited for this critical time in our history.

He has the needy personality of a 6 year old who needs to be the center of attention 24/7 or he gets cranky. Not crazy for a 6 year old but a 70 year old?
1. Hillary's servers no longer are operational. How can Trump encourage hacking computers and servers that no longer exist?
2. Trump said, "If you have the missing emails, please cough them up."
3. Russia is obligated by treaty to turn over the emails.
The Treaty provides for a broad range of cooperation in criminal matters. Mutual assistance available under the Treaty includes the obtaining the testimony or statements of persons; providing documents, records and other items; serving documents; locating or identifying persons and items; executing requests for searches and seizures; transferring persons in custody for testimony or other purposes; locating and immobilizing assets for purposes of forfeiture, restitution, or collection of fines; and any other form of legal assistance not prohibited by the laws of the Requested Party.
Excellent find and truly does make sense that something like that would be in place. As we know, Bill Clinton someone for mishandling classified email, so I suppose Hillary felt confident that she would not have to worry, the party would have her back side, huge job in a couple of ways.

Exactly. We don't need a genius and, actually, a genius would probably not be a good fit for the job of POTUS.

Excellent post. It almost like they hold his wealth against him. Hold his wife and her occupation against him. Well, they are desperate and at "grasping straws".
“One wonders if Republican leaders have begun to realize that they may have hitched their fate and the fate of their party to a man with a disordered personality,” Robert Kagan, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, wrote in a separate Washington Post editorial on Monday. “We can leave it to the professionals to determine exactly what to call it. Suffice to say that Donald Trump’s response to the assorted speakers at the Democratic National Convention has not been rational.”
Giving nuclear launch codes to Donald Trump, considering his history of “erratic” behavior, could create a crisis, retired Air Force Gen. and former Bush and Obama administration official Michael Hayden warned Wednesday.
“He’s inconsistent, and when you’re the head of a global superpower, inconsistency, unpredictability — those are dangerous things,” Hayden, the former head of both the CIA and the National Security Agency, told MSNBC. “They frighten your friends and tempt your enemies.”
Putting the choice of whether to use nuclear weapons in the hands of someone who often changes his mind is a grave risk, he said. Once the military has been ordered to launch a weapon, service members act immediately, Hayden explained.
“The system is designed for speed and decisiveness; it’s not designed to debate the decision,” said Hayden, who has not endorsed a presidential candidate.
did not think he’d be great in a general election, and thought there’d be episodes of paranoia/irrationality, but this is surprising for me,” one Trump operative told The Post.
“Trump is getting nuttier and nuttier,” the person added.

Campaign chairman Paul Manafort and other staffers “feel like they are wasting their time,” CNN reported Wednesday.
Campaign aides wish Trump were spending more time talking about public policy and aiming his fire at Hillary Clinton.
And CNBC’s John Harwood quoted a source as saying: “Manafort not challenging Trump anymore. Mailing it in. Staff suicidal.”

Oh, bull****. There is nothing real about insulting military members and their families and being tone deaf as to what's wrong with it. There is nothing real about making fun of someone's disabilities, even though he tried to walk it back later with a lie. There is nothing real about being ignorant about even basic international dynamics, such as not even knowing that Russia has already invaded Crimea. There is nothing real about peddling some fear about immigrants and crime that is contradictory to the actual data. There is nothing real about proposing policies that damn near every expert in the field has analyzed as stupid.
Everyone but a small group of hardcore nuts are noticing how erratic and strange the man is acting. A big number of conservatives are cutting ties with him, list is growing daily. He's an erratic sociopath who is tone deaf to even the most basic of social and ethical norms.
He should have been a painter and cut off his ear or something and then he would have left a legacy of paintings increasing in value instead of destroying the career of every GOP Congressman.
No, because if he wound up being a bad painter he may have gassed millions of people to death.
