I'd have to disagree. I think for many families it has gone in the shitter year after year into the slow decline to this point. The biggest change we have at this point is the Internet where people can interact with various types of other people. Small community churches declined as people went all the rage for prosperity teaching and stupidity. Thirty years ago I can picture fraud actually possibly being prosecuted, now its as if 'happens all the time, no biggy'. I can't imagine trying to get away with some of the stuff white collar criminals have literally been exalted for doing in the last twenty years forty years ago. Yep there has been a change and not for the better at the moment.I think you may have a point on him being his own man but, does he not have bankers and investors? If so who are they? It would take people who aren't stupid and can't be bought off at this point to straighten out the mess so many created in this country. One thing about being a business minded person you do not have to know it all but be willing to understand whatever it is you are doing and hire the right people to get the job completed.He's funding his own campaign. What makes a candidate drop out of the race is his donors. If they think he won't win, they'll stop sending him money. Trump won't run into the same problems others do when their donations start slowing down. Laying off staff, skipping smaller events (and losing those votes), being able to afford tv ads, radio ads, etc.
In addition to having unlimited funds, he has the advantage of being able to truthfully say "I'm not beholden to anybody". This will help Trump tremendously if he gets the nomination. His Democrat opponent won't be able to say the same thing, including Sanders.
Most people would agree that we need somebody like Trump who can't be bought. This will start to resonate as the field narrows and will be a major issue in the general.
What are your thoughts on this?
such idiocy! We are a melting pot == we are a mess
America has changed little
yet history shows people saying what you are saying since the late1700s/early 1800s. go figure
Small community churches declined because small communities declined.
fraud is actually prosecuted
white collar criminals have literally been exalted for doing crap while at the same time being condemned. It's the American way. wake up and smell the latte
