Trump Thread

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Whatever reasons (or unreasons) lay behind the nomination the net result is: Trump was nominated by the Republicans. Period. After that any talk about him being out of establishment is ridiculous.

Any official connection to the current establishment makes you a full part of the establishment? So anything less and Raul, Fidel, and Ernesto up in the hills is playing the establishment game? I wasn't being that much of a purist. Of course Trump is establishment, he was never at the barricades. Let me say instead that the current "old boy" (and it is still mostly swinging Richards) network loathe him, were not happy he got the nom, and would like to see him out of office nearly as much as the Dems.

You may be right on reversing the roles (being no player of either of the games I can't make grounded conlusions on the style of playing them), but I was talking not about the relations between the players, but about the on-lookers hoping for any agreement between them.

Poker is associated with bluffing and is a solo effort by the players against the others. Bridge is a partnership bidding to signal to one another the best chance for a win with any given hand. Poker is considered the more "emotional" of the two games...though you can argue the point.
