"The Donald" has done it again calling Ben Carson an "okay doctor" and exclaiming he's so low key that "...frankly, he makes [Jeb Bush] look like the Energizer Bunny". But didn't he attach two heads or something? In a recent Rolling Stone interview, Trump also insinuated that Carly Fiorina was unelectable because of her appearance. So I guess that rules out his beauty pageants also? Despite all this and more, Trump continues to rise in the poles. How could this possibly be? Even getting caught outright contradicting himself does not seem to slow his progress and if anything, he seems to be gaining in certain key demographics but why?
After remarking that the Bible was his favorite book, some have criticized Donald Trump claiming he could not even site a single collection in the work. In all fairness, they didn't go into all that detail in the Charlton Heston movie. He lies, dances around issues and somehow always seems to come out on top. So what could be driving his success? A large number of republicans, independents and crossover democrats are looking for a strong leader that can't be bought and is shrewd enough to get the job done. People have already factored in the type of person Trump is and they may even get offended at times but at the end of the day, there are always some redeeming qualities about his candidacy that set him apart.
Poles also show an uptick in enthusiasm for Ben Carson's campaign but Washington is tough and being low keyed is probably not an asset. Likewise, Carly Fiorina's time at Hewlett Packard calls into question her business sense. What's different about Trump is that he's unscrupulous, knows how to control people and it may take someone that ruthless in business to break the stalemate in Washington. If something is not done soon about the deficit, this country is going to be in very big trouble and voting for someone just because they are a woman or minority is not going to fix this. Personally, I don't know if anyone could solve a 19 trillion dollar debt even with two terms but with a problem this big, it may take the most brazen of all to stand half a chance.
