One extra thought
One little thought about Trump. Don't know why I didn't notice this before.
Obviously and generally, his strong point is that he has so much money he can't be bought. He doesn't need to whore after Sheldon Adelson's money like the other Repooflicans. He is free to say what he thinks. A lot of what he thinks is true and important. Some isn't true, but it's still
Trump's own actual beliefs, not appeals for Adelson's money.
More direct point that I didn't see before: Trump not only doesn't need Adelson's money; he has been DIRECTLY COMPETING with Adelson himself in Vegas.
So this is a fight between two casino owners. One of them is in the ring personally, working for himself. The other is indirectly controlling the 3,719 little players on the other side without actually paying them. Typical Chosen behavior.
