John Miller

This is hilarious!
And yet not surprising.

Trump caught on tape talking in third person about himself using the pseudonym "John Miller."

To anyone in the media that's ever dealt with "celebrities" looking to build or sustain their fame this sophomoric behavior is very familiar.

This is would be very funny if he wasn't running for president.

If he told his branch trumpians to jump off a bridge they would...nuts!

It is undoubtedly Trump on the recording. The guy is a Grade A creep, and chances are quite high that Trump himself leaked those recordings.

Here's another article about Trump's antics:

What a pervert...reminds me of Bill Clinton.

What an election! Our choices are likely going to be a socialist-lite/crony capitalist (H. Clinton), an eccentric pervert weirdo (Trump), and perhaps a neo-con independent candidate TBD.

3 years I recently heard it compared to are 1896, 1932 and 1960. The 1896 one is notable for having a bizarrely mirror image electoral map...

The red and blue are almost literally the opposite of what they are today...

It's pretty amazing that out of a field that started with 17 candidates, no one was capable of taking down the lying, scuzzy weirdo known as Agent Orange.

This shows that message is far more important than anything else, and it also shows how tone-deaf the other candidates are vis-à-vis the priorities of the general public:
--They hate our international trade deals and view them as a key reason the Middle Class is shrinking and wages are stagnant
--They hate reckless spending on foreign conflicts
--They hate unchecked illegal immigration due to the risks it poses to working class wages, our general economy, and our national security
--They hate tax policies that are unbalanced and heavily tilted toward certain special interest groups or voter blocs
--Many are worried about edicts or new laws coming from Washington, DC (whether through executive order or judicial rulings) that infringe personal liberties

I predicted many years ago (toward the end of W's presidency) that there would be a chasm within the Republican party, with illegal immigration and trade serving as the primary fault lines. Not long after I made that prediction, we saw the rise of various "tea party" groups across the country - although such groups are more preoccupied with the overall size & reach of the federal government as opposed to any one specific issue. Now, with Trump (of all people) we are seeing that earlier prediction of mine finally come true, albeit far later than I initially expected.

The other 16 regular politicians were largely following party orthodoxy which says that illegal immigration to drive wages down is good and cutting taxes for the wealthy is good. They don't actually care about the working class at all. It's a wonder to me how they got so many suckers to become Republicans when the party has never had their interests in mind.

The party has a say one thing to get the regular folks to vote and then promise the reality those same folks would revolt against to the donors. That's why they keep promising things that never happen especially on social issues.

Excellent synopsis!

cutting taxes for the wealthy is good.

Care to explain just how you cut taxes for the wealthy only? If you do a rate cut, yeah, wealthy folks have their tax rates lower, but so does everyone else that pays taxes.

Currently 45% of Americans pay NO federal income tax. Granted, it's pretty tough to give those folks a tax cut when they don't pay any taxes. A tax cut benefits those that do. Some of them are rich.

I for one don't buy the tax cuts for the rich talking point. It's bullshit.

So you can't reduce the rate for the wealthy to say 37% from 39% and leave everything else alone? Do tell...

IF they can repatriate the 3 trillion dollars that are stuck overseas, our only problem will be filling all of the jobs AND keeping inflation at bay. The economy would rock and DC would be swimming in cash.

That tasty populism is an addicting swill...

Funny guys.
The idea of bringing back all of that investment capital is not swill. It's economics. Something that i understand.

You can't bring it back. It's gone. Period. Finito. Trumps protectionist tariffs and levies against those that "cheat us" display a profound lack of understanding of economics and would cause a catastrophic depression almost overnight.

You can't force these jobs to come back at gunpoint.
