I think The Donald has already added some realism to the debate. We are missing any touch of the real in our governance today. We think we can spend like drunken sailors forever and ignore harsh foreign policy realities like the world is run on a T ball basis.

That is how WWII got started.

I don’t really know what his policy positions are on several issues that are important to me because he won’t say anything substantial about them. Even a clown can tell the truth sometimes, though his record isn’t so great there either e.g. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2015/07/15/politifact-editor-i-dont-want-to-turn-the-whole-site-into-the-donald-trump-channel/

I’m a bit disappointed at the Republican primary the last couple of cycles. It’s a soundbite culture we live in now no matter what your politics are, but I’m just old enough to recall ’96 and we’re a long way off from anything said in the primaries translating to what gets done if someone is elected.

His next big challenge is building a national presence. This where Jeb Bush has such a huge advantage. His father and brother both have legacy skeletal frameworks in place with state by state organizations and supporters.

Jeb is going to raise more money than anyone in the history of politics. He is going to make Obama and Hillary look like paupers.

If Trump throws a billion of his own dollars at it, he still has to build an organization and that will be his Achilles Heel.

There is an element of truth to his rambles which give them more credibility than the Pack. The Pack doesn’t even attempt anything like this. I’d like to see him give a real compelling speech where he isn’t the main theme. Maybe he can take the rough edges off in the long run. But as you have said it’s very early for 16

Who is the Real Donald Trump?

This anecdote about Wollman Rink may give you an insight into who he is and what he can do.

No endorsement from the Big Red Car — just a “hmmmmm”.
