[QUOTE="huntemup, post: 2917507, member: 35085"] He should've said this and he should've said that. And if he had a clue about the Heller case or anything else, he might have countered. If he knew the difference between an AR 15 and AK he might have said.... But he doesn't. Because for all his talk, he's not one of us. He's one of them. Actually he's even worse, bc he's willing to pretend he's something completely different than what he actually is; what he's been his entire adult life, just to try and show almost half this country just how much he's mastered the art of the deal. But that's the problem when you don't actually know things and try and rely on bs'ing your way through with the cliff notes version on a handful of topics you've never really studied - you get exposed as a fraud even by the queen of all frauds. It's impossible for him to stay on point not bc he's strategically pivoting per debate 101 tactics, but rather bc he's just that undisciplined and he's just that easily rattled. A great many of us long for something different - for the straight talking outsider who refuses to play the game and calls a spade a spade. But this clown aint that guy. A great many wanted him to be that guy, so we overlooked the snafus or the fact that for a year he could barely say much more than "a wall - a big beautiful wall...we don't make good deals - we are getting killed by china and many others with currency manipulation...we are weak...inner city is dangerous...". We were sold a bill of goods by a snake oil salesman. And far too many- so hungry for something different, fell for a catchphrase on a silly looking hat - a sales pitch with no substance. I'm almost surprised he didn't have one of those inflatables you see at used car lots at his campaign rallies.
