I get the sentiment. I don't like that it's good campaigning, but it is good campaigning. Fortunately, the signs are that he uses rationality much more than his public persona appears to. The birther thing I posted is a good example of it. Many things people see from Trump they don't like are the "pacing" portion of the "pacing and leading" tactic that Trump uses all the time to great effect. He has gotten many people to agree with him by pacing them, and then he has flipped it and gotten them to change their beliefs by leading them.

Trump winning the nomination is one of the best things to happen to me because it was the trigger that got me to study persuasion. This stuff is truly amazing.
