I know hardly a thing about conducting business in that rarefied air of
dealing in tens of millions or even billions of dollars. The closest I
have come is that I have personally known some very successful
businessmen who have built a very high (very!) net worth. Yet I do know
that business in not only in trading dollars for assets and such. The
mark of success often is in negotiations. Wasn't it Trump who wrote the
book on the subject? So tell me, how absolutely stupid must one be to
think that they, of little personal acumen, could possibly prosecute war
against one who is so far above their league as to be barely visible to
them? Mr. Trump has again and again played them as fools. He has done
more that that, he has exposed them as fools. And being fools, they
continue to play their foolish games. The man Trump must highly enjoy
their feeble attempts. I picture him as laughing his tail off as they
try to play his game. They are blinded. I truly do see this as biblical
in how they have been given over to their raging lusts. So blinded are
they that they do not see their folly.
I don't know about the
rest of the country but I can say that map is incorrect with respect to
California. Nearly one half of the counties shown in blue are in fact
red. (That biggest blue rectangle in the southern part of the state is
one county. San Bernardino is the largest county in the nation, most of
it is unpopulated desert. The military uses much of the county.)
Also,
the large county in north Arizona is all Navajo reservation with a
couple of towns. The city of Page is probably an even split of Ds and
Rs but the Navajos are very much 'red' (no pun intended) due, in part,
to their fierce pride of the Code Talkers and high enlistments into the
USMC. Most likely it is the city of Flagstaff which is a university
town plus taken over by fags which tints the county blue. So yeah, one
city out of thousands of square miles turns a county.
With
respect to Scott's quote, it seems he is being as careful with his words
as a politician would. I wonder what he meant when he said, 'Few
countries are like America.' Certainly some countries share some
attributes as America but no country have all what America is, nor are
they close. It is more than semantics when the subject is a
Constitution which recognizes and protects God given individual
liberties, including land ownership. Perhaps it is that other countries
have followed the lead set by America. Even then, they fail to capture
the entire essence of what America is.
I am always amazed that politicians can find new ways to waffle. I shouldn't be but I am.
