64. Here's what scares me about Trump.

Jul 2015

And maybe I just need to be "talked down from the ledge."

It seems that with every passing day, his poll numbers are growing. I'm afraid that the more he jacks his jaw and drives sponsors and others away in droves, that will just reinforce his popularity among those who think the "lamestream media" and other "lefties" are just out to get him because he's obviously "speaking the truth".

I see him as another Palin, only difference being he is smarter in that he knows how to manipulate the spotlight to keep his ugly mug front and center. The fact that he is currently second and will most likely be at the debate is galling, and to me somewhat frightening.

I hope he fades fast, or gets bored with the whole thing and moves on. But something tells me he may be around for awhile as the sheeple rally around their new "hero".
