The real story behind his supposed "written" book. PT Barnum would bow to the absolute absurdity of Trump's inability to tell a shred of truth nearly any time he speaks. A sham from the very beginning. Inherited wealth, paid for degrees, and absolutely no relationship with the truth. This is the mentality that today's GOP and Christian right wing has created, while doing everything they claim to stand against to protect the white male, Christian billionaire class from the inevitable minority status they face in the very near future. I'd rather a principled Republican, at least, one who believed in his wrong ideas, not this charlatan, huckster, and fraudulent shyster with no allegiance to either party or country, as demonstrated by all of his branded products being made in Asia. America IS great. And we don't need anyone, especially a candidate for president, telling us America isn't. Slogans are not ideas.
Tonight's start of the convention for the party formerly known as Republicans will be the biggest display of self-loving masturbation that any candidate of any party has ever had. Without a single word on what and how he will do anything.
But I suspect, rather than tout why his absent ideas are better than those of the Democratic party, he once again is going to refuse to follow history and tradition and will turn what's supposed to be a nominating convention and platform establishing event, into a Clinton family false scandal bash-fest, NOT inline with the so-called family values party nor with the reason and purpose of a nominating convention.
I just spent an hour reading the new Republican platform. More of the same old words they've sold for years now. Strangely, they've never delivered on any of what they say they are in favor of. Unless it includes lower taxes on multi-millionaires or dividing the country by using gay people to rile up the hypocritical Christians among them. Not a thing to actually help the people of their party, mind you, just how they want to hurt others.
I cannot call this the party of Lincoln. And it's a shame that big business and the zealots in the Christian coalition have hijacked a once noble party.
So watch for smoke and mirrors, diversion and deflection, division and deceit this week.
They can't accept that their own people, Gowdys congressional committee or James Comey, couldn't find evidence of criminal wrongdoing on Secretary Clinton's part. But that won't stop them from rehashing already proven false trumped up lies to attempt to make Trump more palatable.
The finest spices the world over could not make him palatable, let alone presidential.
I challenge you to search for words or promises of direct action this week. How will what they propose benefit you or someone you love while not hurting or denying rights or privileges to others? Is everything you hear hyperbole and cheerleader-like without substance? And lastly, despite what the big business lobby organization that poses as protectors of gun owners rights, says, Democrats had the chance between 2009-2011 to take your guns away. They didn't. Because they never said they wanted to. Regulated is written in that same amendment. And common sense regulations is all they ever wanted. (But I do wonder why I never hear gun rights advocates calling for nuclear weapons to be made available to all Americans as part of the "right to keep and bear arms.")
