Thread Name: BS: Cruz Passes Trump in Polls
Subject: RE: BS: Cruz Passes Trump in Polls
Trump says stuff that many people want to hear... and 'some' of the things he says are superficially ...ummmm.... 'interesting'... like "talking tough to Putin"... or "building a fence along the Mexican border"... or "bombing Isis into oblivion"...or a dozen other things.

The problem is, most of what he promises are either illegal, impossible or already being done! He has NO... I repeat.. NO real, practical plan to do them. He is simply blustering on topics that play to fear and prejudice. He has no concept of the process of actual running a government---- you do not 'rule by decree'.

If he were, by some magic, to get elected, he would spend most of his time explaining how..."we are working on that" and butting heads with Congress and constitutional scholars.

Trump is a loud-mouthed bully...... you can sometimes make a lot of money being one, but being a diplomat and a leader in a democracy requires a different mind-set.
