Is Trump Just Crazy--- Or Crazy Like Fox?

When Trump makes his bombastic remarks is he really some kind of loon like many are saying?

Why does he do it?

Other than having his numbers go up every time, what is his strategy.

Ever read his book the "Art of the Deal’? You can explain a lot of Trump from his book.

Right in The Art of the Deal Trump says, 'If you're serious in a negotiation about wanting something  and if there's something dead certain you've gotta have, you have got to start out with the most outrageous position. The opener has got to be so outrageous that the compromise is exactly what you want.'

The opener is the most outrageous demand that you can make. Then compromise from there. Trump may not really believe you can deport every Muslim or keep every Muslim out of the country. Trump wants to wake everybody up. Trump may have some pretty serious ideas, and to get there, he's gotta start out with one of these outrageous things. So when Trump backs off of it is when he appears reasonable, which is when you can finally make the deal with him. It's a strategy.

Interesting, no? Could explain a lot of his bombastic rhetoric.

Another thing to consider.

Trump is threatening to run as a third party candidate. But he already IS.

Trump is by far no establishment Republican or even a true conservative. Trump is Trump. He IS running as a third party candidate – INSIDE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!!  And the dolts there don't even realize it.

How many times have you heard the Conservative talking heads on AM radio say that third parties are a waste of time and if you really want to change the country - change the party from within.

The Dems did it with OBAMA -you can't recognize the Democratic Party of Truman, Kennedy, or Bubba Clinton any more.

Trump is doing the same thing for the Republican Party.

The New Republicans

After reading the letter titled; GIVE ME MARRIAGE EQUALITY, OR GIVE ME DEATH on this post at The American Spectator and AmSpecBlog, I had to weigh in.

I am more than willing to admit that I am not a Republican from old. I was a Democrat for many years.

As I grew older, after 9/11, I discovered that I really did believe in a number of Republican principles. Capitalism, self reliance, a very strong military and domestic protection. I do not have a problem whatsoever with the so called "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques", as I feel they were only used after "soft" interrogation had failed. I also feel that they prevented many deaths. And in my opinion, were not torture.

I want an extremely strong border. But, I am not opposed to immigration, done legally. We are a country of immigrants, our country was built from the ground up by immigrants and except for the Native Indians, every single citizen of the United States ancestors, came from another country.

I stand by our second amendment rights, as a necessary protection, in the event of a rouge government takeover. Yes, I do believe that is possible. We are no more immune to a dictator than any other country of the world. In the event this happens, I want to know that I and my neighbors have the ability to nip it in the bud.

And there are others that I agree with.

But, I disagree on the subject of abortion. I believe it should be kept legal. For extreme cases where the mother's life is in danger, a girl has been raped or a victim of incest and in some cases regarding domestic abuse. I absolutely oppose it's use as birth control. It is 100% possible to prevent pregnancy these days.

Gays? Read the above letter. I fully agree with him.

And there are others that I disagree with.

The government needs to stay out of our personal lives, if what we are doing is not hurting or infringing on others rights. (Isn't this one of our complaints about the Democrats?)

And those rights, do not include others "feelings". We have freedom of speech. The use of freedom of speech, hurts others feelings, all of the time. Are we going to eradicate freedom of speech?

Each of us have our own moral belief's. That is our right and I intend on keeping mine.

I do not believe in all of what Republican's believe in. So where does that leave me and the thousands of others out here like me? Without a right to a political party?

You see, by virtue of the fact that there are thousands of us out here and growing, it is telling.

How many of "us" are out here, as opposed the "them"?

Are we required to be force fed the extremely conservative belief's, just so we can vote? I'm certainly not going to vote for the Democrats. They have become a socialist party. And where socialism breeds, dictatorship is not far behind.

It is time for the Republican's to lighten up and change with the times. Or, you will lose many thousands of votes to that empty place, in the middle.

Of course, there will always be those people out there, stuck in their extremely conservative way's.

Then again, maybe it really is time for a third party.
