Corollary: no political candidate gets any points in the public eye AT ALL, simply for being right. This is an elaborate game, and the manipulation of appearance is an integral part of it.
Donald Trump, in my view, needs to be our next President because he is the only thing even approaching a conservative who has known how to play this game effectively since Reagan. If he does nothing other than speak obvious truths for 4-8 years, and deal with illegal immigration, it will be worth electing him.
And I suspect he will do a great deal more. Lois Lerner and her cohorts have likely committed crimes within the statute of limitations as it will pertain in 2017. Hillary will be prosecutable. Many of the crimes committed by, and consciously excused by, the Obama Administration will be put under the microscope, and decisions made. I don’t doubt this for a moment.
