This might be overly optimistic, but maybe Trump could unite the Israelis and Palestinians against him.

(26,060 posts)He is just appealing to the deepest, darkest parts of the American psyche - to those who wet their pants over 9/11 (and I'm not minimizing what happened that day - I watched it out our CEO's window in living color), to those who hate that brown people have "invaded" "their" country and I honestly think it's because he's a celebrity. Many of these people have never seen a celebrity up close and now they get to vote for one. But he's not conning anyone. What you see is what you get.

(26,060 posts)At the moment he says it. The man has NO core beliefs (other than to make money). If that means being pro choice one minute in order to get a vote, that's fine. If 1 hour later he needs the vote of an anti-choice person, that's what he'll be - and he's already forgotten that he was pro choice and hour ago.
