why would he change if he never sees the consequences? In that, he's very Trumpian.

These people believe they are God's Anointed Race, destined by the Creator to be the boss of the other races of the world, to have everyone else scurrying around them in fear and adoration, desperately trying to win their approval and a few crumbs of food. They believe that a sinister conspiracy of wicked Liberals has robbed them of their slaves, their assistant thugs, their complicit underlings, and the adulation and luxury that should have been theirs. Remember, these people still think Moses, King David, Jesus, and Mary were blond with blue eyes and pink skin. And that white people have made all the discoveries and created all the institutions that have given us our modern industrialized world. They believe they are fighting a noble battle to prevent the world from sinking into a corrupt morass of primitive mixed-race gibbering subhumans.

He's been groomed for this nomination for years, I read. Him and some others. Like Rubio is being groomed to become President. Like George Bush was made President by Carl Rove & the Repub Party.

The Repubs are good at this. They pick certain people, groom them throughout their careers, to be ready for certain things for the Party. It may not work out that way, but they identify and start grooming them early on. I don't think the Dem Party does this. They may to some extent. Whoever is the new speaker at the Democratic Convention is usually one that's been put on the advancement trail. Obama was a speaker. I forget who the last speaker was. I guess that means something, if I can't remember the speech.
