I agree that Trump is more appealing than Lindsay Graham or Jeb Bush, but if he wants to continue to move forward in his bid for the US Presidency he needs to sharpen his message and for gods sake quit the silly bragging about himself. He comes off as very insecure when he continually tells everyone how smart he is and how successful he is. A little bit of humility and a lot more specifics regarding the issues would go a long way for Mr. Trump in his quest for the prize. Whoever is running his campaign is either powerless to stop this guy from constantly sticking his foot in his mouth or knows this is just a joke candidacy from the start.
I think his braggadocio is part of his charm. He IS successful, he does speak the truth thta the RINOs refuse to speak, and he's a likable guy in a uniquely different way from his competition. If all will recall, the intellect and success as a community organizer of the little known senator from the soviet state of Illinois, had to be bolstered by the media's braggadocio of him. He had nobody else championing his feckless and hidden past, so the democrat lapdogs in the media picked him up and sold him to the people who had no clue how to vet a candidate, and even if they did, they couldn't because he had a court order hiding his past.
Now comes along a man who is not afraid to flaunt his success, is confident in what he believes, doesn't give a rap what his detractors think, and he is being called insecure. He's doing everything the textbooks for success say to do, but those who feel threatened by his forthright and confident attitude don't know what to make of it. In the past they could control the candidates through intimidation and holding back shared campaign dollars. But here is a man who does not need their money, nor does he want their help because, and rightly so, he doesn't trust a damn one of them. They all cower when someone says "race" or "immigration" or "terrorism," fearful of saying something wrong that will cost them a particular part of their constituency or have them attacked by the democrats lapdogs in the lame street media. He just doesn't care, and nobody knows what to make of that.
If his attitude of self confidence and passion for the message caught on in politics, we would have very lively debates and more interesting elections. All the left can offer is a beat up old woman in a bad pantsuit who refuse to talk to the media, with a bag of laundry so full she needs a Sherpa to carry it for her. Then they have the audacity to criticize Trump for being the confident man that he is? It's a joke that long ago lost its luster, and is seen through by more Americans than what the left would ever want to admit.
In short, the republicans have something to fear in this man, and more and more people look at him as someone who can be trusted with the presidency, unlike the field of losers being presented by the RINOs.
