James, how could it be an "inappropriate" insult? Since when were you The Fringe? And it's been over for so long-- for his alienation of women and racial minorities to favour a declining white majority---let's inject a little fun.
You say you'll put your money on Trump and the universal opprobrium visited on him by the world won't stand up to intellectual scrutiny. I say the frat boy analogy here is a good one: he's an infantile sociopath who didn't develop.
Money shouldn't pass between friends in these matters so I'll bet a barrel of bluebill or black decoys to one decoy of yours that America will abandon his entreaties in the same way as the GOP's distinguished luminaries have already.
How about it?
LOL, I like those odds King but I'm not a betting man. Managed to travel to Vegas 25-30 times and never play the casinos. (Except once when my wife asked me to teach her blackjack. She won around $300 and though this gambling thing is easy. Shocked later to understand the concept of beginners luck. Haha!)
As you may have gleaned from our conversations over the years King, I am somewhat familiar with those kind of Wall St/Bay St high net worth individuals and have been most of my life. One of my friends from college years was profiled in the book Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis, a book that is acknowledged to have defined and exposed the excesses of Wall Street in the late 1980's. I grew up among the sons of billionaires and politically powerful. Turns out it's not my cup of tea. But nevertheless what it taught me is most of them could be "caught out" by the press if the press decided to turn it's gaze on one of them. Most men, in what they think to be private moments, have said stupid things. Even very good men.
15 years ago one scion of a billionaire I knew used to send a limo to a local hotspot, known for the attractiveness of their waitresses, at closing time. At this point in time he was in his late 30's and being groomed to take over the multi billion dollar enterprise. Married, with children. The girls would be whisked to a private location on the edge of the city where he had built a private lake for water skiing and an accompanying lodge. You can imagine the scene, I'm sure. The point being that the limo never arrived empty.
I count Trump's less than savory pronouncements about women to Bush to be both unsurprising and honest. Trump is right. For a man in his position of fame and power, there are women who will happily submit to that kind of sexual exploitation. Of course, they expect to gain from the transaction and usually do. We may think it's crude....but it's true.
Once again, even inadvertently Trump throws off the muzzle of Political Correctness and speaks the truth about some women and their behavior in proximity to power and wealth.
Do you actually think Pierre Trudeau at 50 would have been able to capture the attentions of a beautiful 20 year old if it weren't for power and wealth? Bill with Monica Lewinski?
Don't forget, the elites and the media were pretty comfortable about which way the vote was going for Brexit. I'll wait for the actual election before I count my chickens.
