Trump is at it, Again. Is America Buying a Lemon?

At the recent orgy rally in North Dakota, Trump has demonstrated that he has no new election strategy in the presidential race, now that he has secured the nomination. The same cheap verbal tricks and clever name calling. That's it. That is how he manipulated the fools on his side of the isle. He is the GOP candidate. The million dollar question is: will the same verbal fluff will work on the rest us. Will Trump make the sale?

Trump himself has been called many names that are, in fact, an accurate description of his essence. He has been called a persuader by the cartoonist Scott Adams. He has been called a salesman by yours truly. But, being an objective judge, I would not award myself the first prize in this label contest. The top prize would go to the former candidate Mitt Romney. His choice term is con artist.

Con artists perfect their persuasion techniques. Con artists have no intention to actually deliver. Their top priority is getting a certain fool -- the mark -- to do drop their vigilance and make one mistake. Hand over the money, open the door, cast a ballot. This time, the mark is America. Are we buying it?
