Your Daily Donald Trump Moment of ZenLeon H. Wolf RedState September 6, 2015 ... "Look, having nuclear--my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart--you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world--it's true!--but when you're a conservative Republican they try--oh, do they do a number--that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune--you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged--but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me--it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right--who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners--now it used to be three, now it's four--but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years--but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us." ... This happened on July 21 and has been covered elsewhere, too. There's a video of this at the site which might help put this in perspective.

In case you're wondering, there are many conservatives who are not on the Trump bandwagon. I'm one of them. I'm in the wait and see group.

He needs to be in a sanatorium. Glad to hear that you haven't signed on to this death ship, Golem.

LOL. Putting "Trump" and "perspective" in the same post... HILARIOUS!

I am certain, Golem, that there are more conservatives against Trump than for him. Trump is a clown. He always has been. Not that I am a conservative, far from it, but Trump is destroying the "brand". He is exposing the ugly underbelly of the party for all to see. That, I think, is a service to all Americans, as he is stating -out loud- what the party has promoted with code words and euphemisms for decades. What the party apparatchiks don't like is that he has pulled back the curtain on the Wizard of Oz and shown the manipulation that is going on.

And, in my opinion, doing a service to whomever gets the Democratic nomination. Which is why I love to hear him spout his gibberish on every major media venue. He is basically telling people - if you vote for me (as in the Republican party) you are screwed. And in that, he is right.

This has been the most entertaining GOP primary in my lifetime! I need to restock on my popcorn and iced tea. And maybe a box of chocolate covered peanuts.
milk and Girl Scout cookies ;-)

Here is a choice Trump quote: ...when I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I'm basically the same.  You can't say he doesn't know himself.

Donald Trump surges to 32% support
Trump gained 8 points since August to land at 32% support, and has nearly tripled his support since just after he launched his campaign in June. The new poll finds former neurosurgeon Ben Carson rising 10 points to land in second place with 19%. Together, these two non-politicians now hold the support of a majority of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, and separately, both are significantly ahead of all other competitors. Idon't know whether to laugh or cry.
