Give me Dragons to Slay
Trump campaign bars Iowa paper from Iowa event after critical editorial
Mexicans, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Rick Perry, NASCAR, ESPN, Univsion, Anderson Cooper, the GOP, Jose Diaz-Balart, and now, the Des Moines Register.
The Trump campaign isn't about ideas. It is about finding enemies to fight. It's about creating drama and passion by calling out the establishment and the ever convenient enemy, the press. It's about tapping into anger and frustration.
It's about screaming, look at me, I'm taking on the world.
Ponder this for a minute. What does Donald Trump want to do as President. Beyond doing something to stop illegal immigration, I can't name a single thing that the guy would do. I can't, and nobody else can either, name Trumps' foreign policy ideas, beyond, "If I win China will be in trouble".
His plan for the economy, "I will make america great again". OK, how?
Oh yea, "I will be the greatest jobs President in history because I'm rich."
The Trump campaign is a quest to find enemies to take down. And that appeals to a certain segment of the populace.
But, how long can he campaign as a reality TV show?

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Give me Dragons to Slay
Looks like the enemy de jour is Wisconsin's Scott Walker.
In Iowa, Donald Trump Takes Aim at Scott Walker, for a Change
OSKALOOSA, Iowa — To the list of Republican rivals he has insulted, Donald J. Trump on Saturday added a new name: Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, whom he accused of mismanaging his state’s budget and creating a disaster for its roads, schools and hospitals.
Mr. Walker, who has been restrained in criticizing Mr. Trump’s provocative remarks compared with other Republican presidential candidates, is leading in the polls in Iowa, a fact that seemed to gall Mr. Trump, the golf course entrepreneur and former reality star.
