Trump - Random Thoughts

1.  Lloyd Kumley offered the following observation:


"I had a thought while listening to the harangue at a wrestling show..." (Lloyd isn't a wrestlemania kind of guy but was indulging a niece who likes the excitement of the shows) ".... Trump's campaign talks sound much like the outrageous stuff the wrestlers shout to whip the crowds up... It's a formula that works for wrestling....those choreographed "shouting matches" , which lead to what look like make believe battles between the good guys and bad guys. Are wrestling fans and their ilk much of the Trump supporters?'

2.  Some very rich and politically active CEO's are coming out saying Trump must be stopped.   Mitt Romney, Meg Whitman.  Hmmmm.  Perhaps they feel like the domination of Republican economic policy by big business interest is threatened?  Both Mitt and Meg say Trumps policies could cause a recession.  Gee whiz, no Republican has ever caused economic damage - oh wait, the Republicans were running the show for the decade leading up to the great Depression...and the Republicans were also running the show in the decade leading up to the great Recession. Those prior Republican efforts have set a pretty high bar in terms of economic disasters, I don't see how a mediocre  businessman (according to Mitt and Meg) like Trump could do as much damage.
