Yeah, Obama was a little known state senator a couple of years and a US Senator 
a couple. He dipped his toe in the political waters. Never accomplished 
anything as a Senator either.Yes, he got elected making speeches saying what 
everyone wanted to hear without specifics. Didn't fool me though. I think there 
were a couple of things in his favor. First, he was as Joe Biden put it, a 
clean cut  articulate black guy that didn't sound black. He was the perfect guy 
to clear the conscience  of white guilt. "I voted for the first black 
President, that proves I'm not a racist!" Second, He was the perfect guy to 
clear our conscience with the Arab middle-east after Iraq, a guy named Barrack 
Hussein Obama. "They'll see that we really aren't Islamophobes!" 
 Obama proclaimed that he was the One that we've all been waiting for. Then he 
went on his apology tour. Sure was a lot of guilt being accounted for.Would 
Trump fool everyone? Hell, I don't know. He's not my guy but I understand why 
people are supporting him.

 You're forgetting that Obama was a Senator.  Probably not long enough

what people want to hear.  Trump is doing that too with his speeches.  Gonna be 
fooled again?

I was shocked and appalled to see Sarah P. introducing The Donald, though I 
figured he was just exploiting what little appeal she has, like any businessman 
would. Now to read that he would give her a cabinet position really betrays his 
absolute cluelessness wrt national politics. They should go off together and 
build some resorts or something.

I disagree with most of what you say. Obama was a US senator and had also 
served six years, I believe, in the Illinois state senate. A thin resume for a 
presidential candidate, perhaps, but at least it was in the profession he 
wanted to step up in. I don't think Trump's knowledge of business is 
necessarily an advantage at all. We are also talking about a man who has said 
he will give Sarah Palin a cabinet position! Sarah is simply not the caliber of 
person required to run a cabinet office. 

I believe Fulbrights are open to Americans. I know two Americans who have 
received them. As for Obama's negotiating skills, I think he wanted to 
negotiate with the Republicans in Congress but they were obstructionist in the 
extreme. I don't think Obama's natural instincts are "my way or the highway" at 
all. Quite the opposite, actually. I think he is a decent man who is prepared 
to work with all sides on an issue, but it is the Republicans who have 
forgotten that politics is the art of the possible -- they think that 
negotiation and compromise is somehow a betrayal.

"...it is the Republicans who have forgotten that politics is the art of the 
possible -- they think that negotiation and compromise is somehow a betrayal." 

 Definitely. They have painted themselves into a corner by upping their 
rhetoric to an unrealistic level, and now the only response they have is a 
negative one. Having been unsuccessful at thwarting Obama, the party is split 
between those who seek any kind of compromise, and those who think they are not 
yet radical enough, to meet the voice of the people. And they certainly can't 
claim rights to fiscal conservatism, after the last performance by G.W. Bush, 
now echoed in his brother's (John Ellis Bush - call me 'Jeb'...) absolute lack 
of traction towards the nomination.

 I disagree with most of what you say. Obama was a US senator and had also

necessarily an advantage at all. We are also talking about a man who has said 
he will give Sarah Palin a cabinet position! Sarah is simply not the caliber of 
person required to run a cabinet office. 

I believe Fulbrights are open to Americans. I know two Americans who have 
received them. As for Obama's negotiating skills, I think he wanted to 
negotiate with the Republicans in Congress but they were obstructionist in the 
extreme. I don't think Obama's natural instincts are "my way or the highway" at 
all. Quite the opposite, actually. I think he is a decent man who is prepared 
to work with all sides on an issue, but it is the Republicans who have

 Trump's zero political office experience is perceived by many as a plus. A lot

abandoned. A lot of people are tired of career politicians.
Yeah, Trump is perceived as a *fighter*. Throw a punch at him and he counters 
ten times harder. Wasn't it Obama that said" if they bring a knife to a fight, 
we bring a gun"?
 However, Trump is a negotiator, I've never known Obama to negotiate anything. 
It's always my way or they high way. 
 If Trump is nominated, I think he's got a pretty good shot.He's attracting a 
coalition that Republicans have dreamed of but rarely get. There are a lot of 
independents that are attracted to him.

Many politicians have massive egos always available for stroking, so Trump 
doesn't stand out for me in that way. But he is completely unqualified, and his 
simplistic business mindset would be a disaster. He has no vision for the 
country. Yes, he will shoot himself in the foot, reloading several times, 
should he become the nominee. Unlike his cable TV shows and casinos, people 
tend to take the Presidency a little bit more seriously.

 I agree on all counts. This is a person who is seriously deranged, he is a 
raving narcissist and exists only to have his ego stroked, to have his ravenous 
appetite for attention sated. His universe consists of him and anything that 
can serve his terrible personal needs. This does not make for a good leader 
because he lacks compassion, understanding as well as an ability to self 
reflect with regard to the picture that must involve everyone else on the 
planet. Egocentricity is not, I repeat NOT, something that has a place in the 
leader of a country. While there might be millions who do not understand this 
there are more millions that do and will illustrate this in their vote for 
another candidate on election day.

She had six people turn up to greet her at an airport here in Texas today and

Oh, I wouldn't trade my years  involved with Maharishi for anything. Love the 
knowledge (pre-siddhi courses anyway) and the experiences. But I'm definitely 
glad I moved on, grew up and applied the knowledge in a practical way. No need 
to hang around the TMO. M's philosophy was rest and action, dip the cloth and 
let it bleach in the sun. Hanging around Fairfield  and the movement would be 
like sitting and not going anywhere.

 I still regard the Trump candidacy as an absurdity. Trump has no

He is unsuited by temperament to the office and would be a dangerous person to

 I agree on all counts. This is a person who is seriously deranged, he is a

was look at them from the outside. The food was great though and plenty of it 
and the people were interesting and varied, lots of wonderful students. While 
everyone was pretty one-pointed they were still not too robotic as well as 
fun-loving - especially in my major which was the art department - craziest

 I was pretty much one foot always on the ground. I was there to practice TM

Carlsen whose independent streak is what drew me in. He was a wild and crazy

 Don't worry, Trump is no more going to be President than I am. He's been 
entertaining in a perverse sort of way but reason and sanity will prevail, in 
the end. Does that make me an optimist or stupid?


 














 


 

Re: [FairfieldLife] Establishment Conservatives Against Trump

[feste37]

I still regard the Trump candidacy as an absurdity. Trump has no qualifications 
to be US president. He has zero experience of political office. He is unsuited 
by temperament to the office and would be a dangerous person to be in that 
position of power. I do not believe he has a chance of being elected.

 Why does the RP hate Cruz? Just because he questions them? Or something more

 It really is a dilemma isn't it. Trump is not a true conservative but a 
populist. Trump is attracting people from all over the place. Many undecideds, 
which is what Republicans have been after for years. Yet, they don't trust the 
guy with his *New York* values which are ultra liberal. He is to the left of 
most establishment Republicans but to the right of any Democrat, which is why I 
think moderate(liberal) Republicans are starting to find him a bit more 
acceptable. Ether him or Cruz, and that blows the mind of establishment 
Republicans. Cruz just won't play ball with his *superiors* and that really 
pisses them off! As long as the race is between the two, the Republican 
establishment will eventually line up behind Trump whether they like him or not 
because they hate Cruz.

 I think you are dreaming if you thing Trump is some great negotiator. It is a 
different matter dealing with other politicians, other charged circumstances 
with regard to hostile countries or crazy dictators. You don't start telling 
them what they're going to do and the blowback from stepping on some of these 
people's toes is far bigger than losing a contract or some business deal going 
sideways. Pissing off the wrong people because you're too narcissistic or too 
delusional to realize you aren't the Big Man of Campus can result in actual 
war, not just lost revenue. He may have been able to snowplow his way around 
the business world but he has no idea about the ramifications were he to try 
his strong arming in the political world as President.  Trump is a menace.

 I disagree with most of what you say. Obama was a US senator and had also 
served six years, I believe, in the Illinois state senate. A thin resume for a 
presidential candidate, perhaps, but at least it was in the profession he 
wanted to step up in. I don't think Trump's knowledge of business is 
necessarily an advantage at all. We are also talking about a man who has said 
he will give Sarah Palin a cabinet position! Sarah is simply not the caliber of 
person required to run a cabinet office. 

I believe Fulbrights are open to Americans. I know two Americans who have 
received them. As for Obama's negotiating skills, I think he wanted to 
negotiate with the Republicans in Congress but they were obstructionist in the 
extreme. I don't think Obama's natural instincts are "my way or the highway" at 
all. Quite the opposite, actually. I think he is a decent man who is prepared 
to work with all sides on an issue, but it is the Republicans who have 
forgotten that politics is the art of the possible -- they think that 
negotiation and compromise is somehow a betrayal. 
 

 Nice post. The only place where I think you made a wee understatement was 
"Sarah is simply not the caliber of person required to run a cabinet office". I 
wouldn't let her open a door for me let alone run a cabinet office.
