    So why do you hate the "establishment" guys. Is it because they don't get things done? If so, why don't they get things done? Do you think they're dishonest about what they want? Are they lazy?

    I'm trying to understand what this war against the establishment is. I hate politics too, but it's not because anyone in politics is awful. It's actually the exact opposite. We don't allow politicians to make deals anymore. That's the one thing Trump has said that does make sense. he wants to make deals. Well let me tell you, people who make deals, don't get elected. The electorate clamors for absolute positions and "principled" people who don't waiver on their beliefs and don't give in (see ted cruz), and then they're shocked when nothing gets done. Here's a newsflash. Not everyone agrees with your views (you meaning an individual, not TT specifically) and you have to give a little. That's why it's comical to me when these same people I've seen being totally inflexible on virtually every issue are now repeating the Trump line that he "will be able to make deals with everyone." That means he'll compromise on his positions, give where he hast to, and not be bound by the blind ideology that most of his supporters scream from the mountaintops. It's such a bizarre paradox that his supporters fall into. Others are willing to do that and have more experience and more brains to do it but can't get elected. Hell the guy standing right next to him, John Kasich, is much more capable of doing this but Trump supporters would never go for him. It makes absolutely no sense.

    It's not as dumb as voting for your overlords, unless you are an overlord. You're too hung up on his style to recognize that some of what he is proposing is worth a damn and he has the lesticles to get shit done as well as make foreign assholes uncomfortable. The fact that he is making domestic assholes uncomfortable speaks volumes.

    Because the establishment does nothing but grease the wheels and jerk off the rich so they can keep their jobs. Meanwhile the rest of us suffer. They are all the same save a few.

    This is so true, and exactly the reason voting for trump is stupid. he is one of the very people the voters are pissed at.

    And you think Trump will save us? Or maybe I shouldn't say you think that. I don't think you personally like anyone in the race. But do others think he's out for the common guy?

    No, but the Les Milses.approach of doing the same.failed thing over and over definitely isn't going to work. Just like many believe almost getting fired is supposed to be a wake-up call for Miles, voters want this to be a wake-up call for the Republican establishment. The Republican establishment shouldn't be rewarded for repeated massive failures, in fact they need to be fired. Too bad there is not a better candidate than Trump. But even a bad candidate is better than the same old failed shit. If your party can't find candidates good enough to beat Barrackmed and Hillary it's probably time for a new party.

    So we fire Miles and go get Curley again. That's your logic?
