I start to appreciate TRUMP

[special]

I mean he is the greatest snake oil salesman of all times.

He spends other people's money; he does all the crimes and gets away with it. He outclasses the biggest con artists of recorded history.

We underestimated him.

We don't underestimate him, we overestimate our fellow americans

[Acer]

He's just the type of guy the founding fathers were afraid the masses would elect.

He really is a marvel though. His abilities are uncannily intuitive.

This seems appropriate once again...

“No one in this world, so far as I know — and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.”

- H.L. Mencken From 1926, almost a century ago.

He went on to write:

"The mistake that is made always runs the other way. Because the plain people are able to speak and understand, and even, in many cases, to read and write, it is assumed that they have ideas in their heads, and an appetite for more. This assumption is a folly."

[Bill in NC]

More Teflon than Reagan!

[vision63]

He's just focused and doesn't deviate from his mission. All of his opponents are unfocused and constantly deviates from the mission of defeating him.

In life, that kind of focus and drive will yield dividends.

PT Barnum* had nothing on him.
