I fear wes has no idea what negotiations actually constitute. Certainly not smashing your fist on the table and making declarative statements. Trump has absolutely no diplomatic skills, no ability to be subtle, and no way to get out of the way of his own enormous ego.

... and the 2016 presidential election is still 382 days or 55 weeks away -- take your pick. And most embarrassingly, the whole world's watching.

The excitement is palpable.

The good news is that Trump has dropped into second place in two new polls in Iowa...(Including The Des Moines Register, which has a really good polling reputation.)








The bad news is the guy who's now in first place is Ben Carson... :roll: :loon

I predict that the presidential election process will soon be a never-ending story, costing billions every cycle.

I PREDICT...

... that many of these posts are not 'political' predictions.

I predict Hillary's VP running mate will be Julián Castro.

Only 378 days until she's elected president.

Sorry, Bernie, the force wasn't with you.
