Trump to Boycott Fox Debate

I don't understand politics exactly like I don't understand Professional Wrestling (even though I really enjoyed it every week when I was a kid and our hometown Dick the Bruiser took on the bad guys.)

There's a place for serious talking and making a deal and Donald knows that is not on tv.

Unfortunately, media is the only way that Trump can convince the rest of us that he's the one for the job.

I don't remember saying he had no plan, or was vapid. It's possible I accidentally wrote that, but can you show me where I did so I might retract it?

But running the country is going to require a good plan and a lot of ability outside the ability to point at someone, or some group and say "it's their fault". It's going to require more than just tweeting snark and (semi) witty insults at people that don't get along with you or agree. It's going to require diplomacy, the ability to reach across the aisle. The desire to want to heal.

No retraction required. We're all friends here :)

It's easy to have balls with 10 billion dollars and a give a shit attitude. What he doesn't have, IMO, is the thoughtfulness or the temperament for the job.
Certainly he has tapped into the anger and frustration and that's a good thing. He has absolutely exposed the bullshit in the political system and the media. All good with that too. He's a great hatchet man and sometimes a hatchet man is just what's needed to shake things up. What you don't what is said hatchet man to then take over the whole parade. He has and will continue to serve a purpose, but in the end I'll vote for someone with a more level head. Right now that would be Cruz, Christie or Rubio, in that order and I actually am liking Christie more each day. Just one mans opinion. Doesn't make me right.

Like NEO from the Matrix. Trump is "the one" who balances the equation :D

I like that about him. Let him take over the oil in the middle east. Buy some USO. Retire early :)

isn't that really the problem? Everything I know about the world I just learned from tv. I have opinions on Syria based on nothing more than what I have seen on tv. So, if Trump can both bypass the media and control it, that makes him a champion to those of us ignorant oppressed souls living under media domination.

While the republicans and democrats argue about who controls the govenment (which they think is so prescious) the rest of us are fighting about who controls the media (since that is now all we understand.)
