Dilbert Creator Scott Adams "Why Trump Will Win"

[timosman]

Yep. Look at all the things that regularly get passed no matter which party has a majority.

This is how it works: when they want a bill to pass they work across the party lines, if they don't the issue becomes highly partisan.
So far nobody has caught up to this scheme.

Well certainly, if they had only been dentention camps instead of death camps then it would have been just great.
And seizing the property and possessions of people sent to those detention centers was thoroughly great.
Restrictions on guns and ammunition by undesireables - you have to admit it, great again; unless of course you're part of the undesirables. It certainly keeps dissent down though.
What's more, who could ever say that the SS and Gestapo were anything but great. You couldn't say it publically anyway; and you had to be really careful about who you said it to in private. Every time I hear Trump say "Get 'em outta here" at one of his rallies, it just brings back those warm memories of a greater Germany.
Gestapo monitoring of religious organizations and suppression of dissent - winning.

So many examples of German greatness under Hitler; it simply becomes cliche to continue.

Somebody was financing his escapades. Germany was broke when he took over and there were the war reparations to be paid. Where did he get all that cash?

I think he made the Mexicans pay for it.

I agree with Scott Adams. Trump is like a PlayStation 3 while Hillary is Pong. Hillary is going to be destroyed in a head to head matchup with Trump.

If there is one thing that Trump knows how to do, it is sell. He is selling the public on his presidency and it is working.

Hillary meanwhile is defending herself against scandal after scandal.

The election will be a choice between a shiny, solve-everything Swiss army knife or a defective product in a Dr Evil pantsuit.

Trump will win. At least we can be happy knowing that the next supreme court justice won't be nominated by Hillary and her anti-gun crowd.

How's he going to do that with 25% from women and 10% from minorities?

These are not real numbers. Chicks dig alphas.

I saw Dilbert at the San Diego Trump rally:

These are not real numbers. Chicks dig alphas.

But they don't dig idiots, full of themselves. None of my chick friends like Trump.

You are in the friend zone. They respect your feelings and avoid praising somebody you do not like.

 

[Ender]

You are in the friend zone. They respect your feelings and avoid praising somebody you do not like.

These are chicks who are very independent- they tell anyone off whose a Trump fan, or who doesn't take care of their dog properly, or who doesn't mow their lawns, or who hurts someone else, or...... you get the idea.

Is he really that smart or is he just instinctual?

And if it works then why on Earth aren't our candidates doing it?

It is smart, and it is instinctual. It is smart because it was a good strategy to adopt, and it is instinctual because he adopted it 30+ years ago. He's excellent at it now. He knows, immediately, whether to go with an interviewer or to go in an entirely different direction. He knows how to paint opponents into a corner, immediately. He's got a black belt in this stuff. He's awesome at it.

And it is truly a shame how effective it is.

Look into narcissistic sociopath, he is textbook. Most people never get experience with someone this full blown, so those who have dealt with it can spot it but others give the typical array of excuses until they find themselves screwed by him and try to understand what happened. Even the excuses of others and bewilderment is textbook regarding those who have not had the joy of dealing with someone like this intimately.

The only people this works for are dysfunctional and it is not a tactic that can be copied unless the candidate is also a ns. The intuitively zone in and exploit others.

More importantly, why would anyone want him to do that?
