NewThere has not been one second

Mon, 10/10/16

There has not been one second that I planned to vote for him so no change here. He is utterly ridiculous in pretty much every way that I can think of. I would personally be surprised if there is a lot of fallout on his polling over his lewd comments. Anyone that has been with him up to this point is probably going to vote for him almost no matter what he does. The same goes for Hillary.

… because I already knew he was that kind of man (and worse, as time will show) and had already accepted the fact that I have no major party nominee to vote for this time.

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.

NewTrump's one strength

Mon, 10/17/16

As a political candidate, Trump does have one strength about his persona. He, like WHC and Reagan, can contextualize and visceralize voter’s concerns well. He does it much better then HRC, Kerry, McCain, and Romney.

As appalling as the other aspects of his persona are, I was thinking that what we saw during the primaries was simply a Hollywood veneer that would instantly fall off once he had sewn up the Republican nomination. But it didn’t. He is who he is.

I believe that Trump actually would have won had is personality allowed for this pivot, and he had become more measured it what he said and how he said it. The video revelation would not have hurt as much had he changed his public persona in May and June.
