You are wearing thin, Donald

HAS MEGAN KELLY GIVEN TRUMP COLD FEET?
By Curt Dale
I've been standing up for Trump--even though Cruz is my favorite by a long ways. However, I think something has happened to Trump in the last few days. Is he getting in over his head? At first, his off the wall comments and so called gaffs were rather cute, even refreshing: "He's not eligible! "He's stupid!" "Look at that face!" "He's no war hero!" "I dont' like people who weren't captured." "...blood coming out of her whatever..." ad nauseum. All that is wearing very thin on me!

But, we're getting down to the short hairs now, I'm thinkin'. Trump is very bright as a businessman, negotiator, and entrepreneur, but he's not an intellectual on the broad and grand scale of Ted Cruz. Frankly, he's sort of running out of cheap shots.

As the debate questions start to hone the remaining candidates down to bare metal, Trump seemingly has no concept of what really needs to be done to fix this nation, and he's making more and more conflicting pronouncements and cross purpose solutions on how to do it. His mind does not process as quickly in the give and take of true debate on social, security, national and world issues as does Cruz'. Cruz seems to me to be a super intellect combined with a full compliment of common sense and laser sharp debating skills.

So, now, with the heat hitting Trump, and no one he can fire for crossing him, he is about to bail on the next Fox News Debate--and all because Megan Kelly is again on the panel? Lordy, if he can't handle a beautiful blonde lawyer who merely asks questions in a television debate--who incidentally just happens to be tremendously brilliant, far more informed on the issues than he, and willing to go head to head with him using provocative questions--how is he going to stand up against a hardened KGB veteran, namely Vladimir Putin? If Kelly can eat him for lunch and make him whimper that she is treating him unfairly, he wouldn't have a prayer when faced with Putin running over him, roughshod.

Because of Trump's wealth and the influence of his investments and business dealings, he can presumably--at least he claims--navigate well in China, Korea, and Mexico, etc. But if he becomes President of the US, he will be totally walled off from all of that power emanating from his vast business organization and billions of dollars with which he now wheels and deals. He'll be functioning as a president, not as a mogul.
If all he has to offer at that point is pooched lips, evil eye glowering, bluster, promises, finger pointing, simpering, and pandering--while his command of the Constitution, the proper workings of the US Government, and what it means to be a Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces--for real--I don't think he's panning out to be the real deal. It seems he would be armed with only his imaginary arsenal of a continuum of Boobama-like Executive Orders and shoving things down our throats for another 4 to 8 years. We sure as the Devil don't need any more of that kind of "leadership."

I think this latest juvenile reaction to Kelly being on the Fox panel exhibits tremendous weakness on his part. If he were truly as tough as he pretends, he'd charge out there and turn her into mincemeat. Frankly, I think he's probably afraid he'll run into a whirlwind if he tries to stand up to her. Also, she has better hair. He gave us caveats that the GOP had to treat him fairly or he'd go third party. Now he's wailing about one mere slip of a girl who has whipsawed him by the tail, jerking him up short, and he doesn't want any more of that.
I might as well say that if he survives Kelly--or if he ducks her--there is another much older, not so attractive junk yard dog blonde, not so brilliant a lawyer, who, if she survives the email server fiasco without indictment, will not be fair to him in any way. If he can't stand up to Megan, can he or will he stand up to HIL-LIAR-Y? It's worth my consideration.Whadda'ya think? Is it time to thump and dump chump Trump!

All y'all tell me if I'm wrong on this and show me why. Otherwise, I'm throwin' in with Cruz!
