Trump?

Hi again. Been living on twitter a lot, thought I'd visit the old homestead.

Like most, Nixon has been shocked at the meteoric rise and continuing rise of Donald Trump in the hunt for GOP Presidential nomination. Face it kids, he isn't your dad's Republican. Or pretty much anyone's idea of a conservative.

However, what Trump has done is tap into the gigantic amount of discontent with the political structure and inept governing of both political parties that is widespread in the US. Can he ride this discontent to the White House? I'm not sure of that. But anyone counting Trump out this early in the race is making a gigantic mistake.

Hell, Obama won twice. Anything can happen.
