Probably not. He doesn't like to answer questions.

Trump made use of the pivot well in the last debate. He maybe answered two or three questions during the last 90 minute debate.

Mr Trump already tweeted he was finished with the (very rigged) debate commission .... they do not know what he meant by that

perhaps the readers in this forum will channel his thoughts and warn the rest of us


ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty
America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions

I don't know why the media has surrogates on to talk about issues or things that happen during the campaign. Take Kellyanne Conway for example, CNN will have her on to talk about the Access Hollywood tape and when asked a question about the tape, she pivots and asks why Hillary hasn't done anything in the past 30 years to make lives better. (Hillary has.)

The whole media thing is to attract eyes so that they can charge ad revenue.

I'm getting pretty fed-up with this charade.

That's pretty much all it is.

Now, were you to reference Howard Beale AFTER the meeting of the minds with Arthur Jensen, I might be inclined to agree although even the post pimped "new" Howard was infinitely more eloquent than Mr. Trump.

So maybe I might offer THIS character instead:



In fact, Andy Griffith almost PREDICTED a Donald Trump candidacy:
