Ron Paul See other Ron Paul Articles Title: Leadership Is More Than Puffery Leadership Is More Than Puffery Robert Charles | Feb 25, 2016 Are the wheels about to come off Trump? Forget the late push to reshape Marco Rubio, with cheery endorsements from the losing Republican presidential candidates – namely, Romney, McCain, and Dole. Good men, nice words, wrong moment. Put aside the capable former Supreme Court litigator, who polls say can beat Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz. What is happening to the Trump story? Stories are appearing with facts hard to ignore, even for Trump supporters. Something in his story is beginning to not ring true. Trump offers three things that appeal – bluntness, political incorrectness, and self-claimed business acumen. The blunt talk is cheap but exciting, like a bad wine drunk too fast. It leaves you thrilled for a bit, then battling a headache. Trump pitches insults, then doubles back to correct and retract them. Think about it. It’s a pattern: Trump’s pro and con statements about Planned Parenthood and abortions, how he was going to sue Ted Cruz then ran from Cruz when challenged, how he loves Putin but hates him, thinks the Pope is disgraceful but then makes up, loves women but disparages them, promises veterans the world then gives little, claims to support those who sacrifice, but rips McCain’s POW years and rips former President GHW Bush, a bona fides World War II naval hero. Then there is his blunder on the Nation’s Nuclear Triad, while promising to wipe out terrorists. He is everywhere, and nowhere. Who is he, anyway? Trump is right to protest politically correctness. He is right on the judgmental and one-sided media. He is right to decry the drag of bureaucracy on politics and markets. But what is he doing – isn’t he just reflecting popular sentiment back to us? Is he not “admiring the problem,” which we all do now and then? Then, just saying “Make America great again,” does not fix it. Trump is reading the back side of the liberal “bash America” coin. Yet he has also proven to be liberal. So words are cheap, again. What would he do? Where are his credentials? Who is he, really? No one really knows. Waving your hands, saying you will cast a spell, throw a fit, fire people, and make us “great again” is not a plan. In fact, it is beginning to look goofy. The real question is – what has Trump done? What is behind the cheap words? Why vote for him instead of Cruz? The answer, for those who like him, has been assumed business acumen. But questions are now being raised. They are serious questions. We all need to listen. Poster Comment: Donald can huff and puff and blow their house down. The big, bad wolf.
