   How is Democrat any different from an anti-Republican party?  You can't   
   own politics being completely reactionary like that.  They don't even   
   know what they are promoting until Republicans "tell them what not to."

   Many of them haven't matured past rebellious adolescence, as their sullen   
   and childish behavior during Trump's speech plainly demonstrated.   
      
   I write off Trump's antics as how he learned to rule the jungle of NYC real   
   estate moguls, taken to the similarly competitive world of high political   
   power.

   The question is if Trump can play this game at the level of Bismarck or   
   Talleyrand.   
      
   I read in a General's memoirs that some people respond to reason, others   
   only to threats, and successful leaders learn how to control both. The ones   
   who most need threatening may be other Generals. Yamamoto was made Japanese   
   fleet commander in order to live on a battleship where the Army couldn't   
   assassinate him for opposing their imperialism.
