Hillary To Trump: I'll Take The High Road,You Take The Low Road

Now that Donald Trump is the GOP presumptive nominee he's pulling out all the stops, going after Hillary Clinton, the Dem's presumably-presumptive nominee, not in ways that have to do with issues, or even qualifications, but in ways that only a blustery blow-hard of a presidential poseur would do.

Snip..........

What Trump still doesn't get--and maybe never will--is that for all his popularity he has many more haters than fans. Those thousands filling every venue, cheering him on, are the same thousands who filled Sarah Palin's venues, cheering her on whenever she went on the attack against the establishment. It fills a need, it satisfies an itch, clichéd beyond all reason ("I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!&quot , but it does nothing to change what most everyone sees as a dysfunctional government.

The way to make change is to get involved. In Trump's case, a first step might include a high school civics class. The GOP nominee for president has built his case for being president by showing the world it pays not to know anything about being president.

He aced the test, not by studying or giving the right answers, but by blasting everyone who tried to tell him he's not ready to graduate. He's the E-minus student running against the Valedictorian, having full confidence that he can bully his way to a diploma.
