Where does the GOP turn when his flaming sack has burnt to ashes and there's nothing left for them?

 
This bit made me chuckle: 

"Manafort's statements suggest that Trump won't be using a significant amount of his own money to boost his campaign over the summer."

 Trump won't release his income tax returns because he's worth a lot less than he claims. He can't afford to pay his own way. And blaming the RNC for his loss won't work.

1 in 5 Bernie Supporters Will Vote TRUMP




Donald Trump announced this weekend he puts 15 states potentially into play in the general election this year.




The states include:
— Ohio
— Florida
— Virginia
— Minnesota
— Michigan
— Pennsylvania
— Wisconsin
— New York
— Maine
— California



.

Oregon? Really?

Donald Trump’s crossover appeal, long ignored by the majority of the Mainstream Media, is front and center once again in the liberal bastion that is Oregon State. (Dominated by urban center Portland) And look at that lead among independent voters – a nearly +30 advantage!

Even the best circus clowns eventually bore an audience, Steely_D.

Gotta work with the ones we have to choose from.  Someone is going to be the 45th POTUS and its a very short list.  Bush and Clinton weren't gonna work for me at any level.  Bush is gone.  No more repeats in a family.  Haven't we learned this yet ?  Bad juju.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Wilson was a governor before being POTUS.  Hoover as you pointed out had prior gov service as well.  Eisenhower does fit the definition of a non politician, but is a one off when its all said in done.  That and his military experience made him uniquely qualified to give it a good go.  He was courted by both parties to run and ended up deciding to be a repub.  Perot didn't do it.

At this point in time, we won't know until we get there.  Its easy to predict the worst possible outcome and dismiss on that basis.  I see a government so dysfunctional that I am willing to throw sand in the gears and go for an overhaul.  Anyone else will be business as usual and more of the same.  



 

 
Wilson had only two years as Governor and was campaigning for President during those two years. I wouldn't call him a politician before he got to the White House. 

Prior to his presidency, Hoover was an appointee to positions in the government—in other words, an administrator/bureaucrat and not a politician.  

I don't see any benefit flowing from electing a non-politician. If you or I became President, we'd still have to work within the confines of the Washington system. A non-politician as President still has to work with all the elected politicians of Congress and the state governments. You could be Moses with the tablets from God and you'd still have to act like a politician to get anything done. One man isn't going to change the overall way of how Washington works.

"I see a government so dysfunctional that I am willing to throw sand in the gears and go for an overhaul." 

 
Remember the times when the federal government shut down due to fights over the budget? Nothing got done, not even little stuff like opening parks. "Throwing sand in the gears" would lead to that paralysis, but it would be like that all the time. 

And Trump is not going to throw sand in the gears. At his best, Trump would issue some executive orders and possibly cobble together some bills with the help of Congressional Republicans. They would struggle to become law in the face of Democratic opposition. Trump would definitely try to work within the existing political system, though.

At his worst, Trump would resemble Jimmy Carter—a man unprepared for the job, faced with a dissolving Democratic caucus and rising Republican opposition, and grappling with intractable problems like stagflation, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, oil price shocks,  the decline of major domestic industries like auto manufacturing and steel production, etc.

Or Trump might resemble GW Bush, the guy who let 9/11 happen, who lied to Americans and got us into a war we never had to fight while he let our hold over Afghanistan slip, who botched the relief of New Orleans after Katrina and who pretty much hid under tables while Secretary of the Treasury Hank Paulson, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama prevented the collapse of the American economy.  

Bad, BAD things happen when inexperienced or unprepared individuals become President. A businessman or a soldier or an engineer doesn't have some wonderful, majick ability to get things done that politicians lack. 

Would you want a lifelong professor of English, lacking any experience in construction and development, to head up a large-scale construction project like a skyscraper or sprawling real estate development? That's the equivalent of having Trump become President. 

As I've written before, Trump has had success in large-scale projects that might help him as President. But he's also had huge disasters and lately he keeps displaying massive ignorance on major issues. He's less than six months from the election and he hasn't absorbed the required knowledge or hired the expert advisors to guide him. 

If you were asked to work on a construction project and found the level of unpreparedness and rash behavior that Trump has displayed, Kurtster, I'm pretty sure you would run from that project as fast as you could. 

Good talking with you as always. {#Cheers}
