Will Trump Close the Deal?

[Hankelvis]

Or, will Organized Crime pull off another deception?

[Thomas Vincent Coffey]

If Trump fails this November he will have crushed the aspirations of tens of millions, longing for transformational change.

Should that happen, he will own the blame; all of it; as the Omens remain in his favor.

It is long past time he ceased behaving like a 3rd grader who frowns, smirks and whimpers when his teacher castigates him w/the words, "I can't read your homework assignment so I gave you a D for effort only."

There are several serious core issues actively on the mind of voters and the Birther Bullshit, sure as shootin, ain't one of them.

As for the media, Trump should have known at least 25 years ago that they have visceral loathing for him and will do anything to elect their flunky; and it doesn't take 25 years to develop a counter strategy.

First off, Trump is the only Candidate that ran that would change Washington. Cruz finally had to show his true self in a last ditch desperate move. If he looses we still owe him for showing many of us the true who is who in our politics. The never Trump movement will get the blame. Those who would blame Trump are those who really do not want or care about change so much..To have to blame some one is the way of selfishness.

The truth is ...IF TRUMP LOOSES, OUR REPUBLIC IS DOOMED. WE WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE LIKE THIS VIA ELECTIONS.

Kevin your first objective is to show a reasonable path to victory for Trump, his own campaign staff can't even show that path? 

[kevin kiernan]

Was wondering were you went ...Thought maybe you got in a wreck or something...So much for wishful thinking !!!

[Thomas Vincent Coffey]

Trump will never remind anyone of Cicero. EVER!

Having said that, he is often his worst enemy because of his peevishness and petulance on which he did a full frontal Monday.

The perfect foil for the Harridan, a self absorbed, intolerant  and rigid ideologue is humor (not sarcasm) in the vein of a Bob Hope; a trait both Goldwater and Reagan had. It both engages the audience and heaps well earned ridicule on her. Where the hell was it???

As for who is whom in DC, it's hardly news having been an open secret since Wm Howard Taft was POTUS.

TVC..I am not interested in having a back and forth to see who is wittyer. But I will not let you or anyone do the blame game without defending a Patriot who has put his life on the line to help our country shake off the ill`s that the Progressives have pasted into our society. Your smugness towards Trump is your own. Too many of us , he is our only hope . So I suggest to not attack the man that many of us are joining with to Make America Great Again.

Hankelvis, the implication you leave is untrue.  Reason it out - the posts do not have the same cadence.  And I've dealt with one's postings for over 2-3 years. Not the same.

As for Trump's doings in the first debate? Yes, I wish he'd done a few things differently - but then he is not a politician. And noticing a few things going on, it appears that he was debating 2 - the moderator and Clinton.  When he was interrupted, he kept right on talking - good for him.  I get very angry when I'm interrupted in the middle of what I saying. Too many times, my thoughts are taken in a different manner.

As for what he did get said - right on, Trump.   

[jack ludwig]

sorry Hank have been out of town for several days having fun. I don't think TVC needs my help in making Trump look like the idiot he is, Trump could do that all himself without our help. Hillary should have scheduled a debate every week from here to election day and she won't have to say a word at the debate and Trump will dig himself a deeper hole each time. 

[Thomas Vincent Coffey]

For the record, I will eagerly vote for Trump.

What I have no intention of doing is listening to sanctimonious malarkey ("a Patriot who has put his life on the line........" ) that he is the Second Coming.

On Monday, he managed to make a Banshee likeable by contrast; an astonishing feat of his own making; as a result of his lack of discipline.

He needs to fully internalize the consequences of this election and his fan club needs to get real.

[kevin kiernan]

His fan club needs to get real.. LOL...Thomas they are real. Very real. But you have contempt for Trump for sure. You seem to agree with Hillary ..You know  THE DEPLORABLES. For some reason you do not think Trumps life is in danger. That is real Thomas. You can not argue that. Many would like to see him dead. If you do not see that then we really can not have a discussion.

[Thomas Vincent Coffey]

Hm..........contempt for Trump, most emphatically not!!!  But am I a Trump ranter; er......no.

My concern is the quality of his campaign, which I hope he wins. Apparently these distinctions elude you.

By the way, any discussion requires an exchange of ideas.We never had one.

a discussion.
