This is a good point. Galaxy brain progressives apparently haven't realized (or won't admit) that a pretty large share of the higher ed industry is only able to sustain itself by fleecing under qualified minorities of their borrowed money.

If affirmative action worked, colleges and universities would be falling over themselves to give examples of students whose GPAs and ACT/SAT scores appeared low at the time of admission but whose majors, college GPAs, and time to graduate validate the policy. That they don't tell us everything. Frankly, if as a condition of accepting students with federally subsidized debt schools were required to break down by race the average GPA and test scores of admits as well as majors pursued, time to complete majors, and drop out rates it would be blindingly obvious to anyone what the game is.

Admission to Singaporean universities is determined by performance on subject-specific standardized tests: the Singaporean A-levels.

There are A-level examinations for Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, and many other subjects.

Singapore originally used the British A-level examinations for university admissions, but when Britain made their A-levels easier, Singapore abandoned the British A-levels.

Singapore then created the Singaporean A-levels, which are even more difficult than the original undiluted British A-levels.

.

Why reinvent the wheel?

Other nations should simply use the best existing subject-specific standardized tests to determine who is admitted to the best universities: The Singaporean A-levels.

.

When Singapore became independent in 1965, Singapore was a third-world nation with a 40% illiteracy rate.

Today, Singapore, a 278 square mile island, has 11 universities, including two internationally-ranked universities.

Singapore is the most meritocratic society in the world, where advancement in the educational system, private-sector employment, and even government employment is determined by the quality of a citizen’s work.

Singapore has the best government in the world.

Yeah, there have to be several IQ variant tests which can allow outstanding students to shine without the gaming and test prep courses for the wealthy that the SAT evolved into.

They already do, especially prominent students receive the Regents Scholarship which is $80k over four years.

Right. That is the kind of thing which will happen in response to eliminating SAT/ACT in admissions. The interesting thing (intentional?) is measures like that will only tilt things further towards the already advantaged.

It seems likely the reason for eliminating SAT/ACT is to prevent inconvenient facts appearing as the colleges go about admitting whomever they want. Look how test scores were used in the Harvard admissions controversy.

The interesting question is how the balance of admissions criteria will change.

The real IQ test is figuring out how to showcase IQ in spite of rules designed to prevent the showcasing of IQ.

I work in Silicon Valley and am a software engineer. I do not hide my opinions and am open with my co-workers about my desire to deport illegal immigrants, and cut legal immigration. My Indian -- yes Indian, and I know their citizenship status because they bitch about it all the time -- co-workers have actually had the gall to suggest my views were racist, and any discussion among Americans to restrict immigration was itself racist. I do not care about method of entry: if many non-citizen members of an immigrant group attempt to tell Americans what they can or cannot say in our native land, that group is an invasive group. I have met some outstanding Asians and Indians here, but overall living in California has made me far less immigration friendly than in my entire life. And that is solely due to the fact it is the first time in my life I have worked in environments where non-citizens were the majority. I am unimpressed.

All humans are racist, but in India, they've formalized it to the highest degree. Jews and Japanese are simple about it-there's us and there's the goyjin. In India you have subcastes in profusion-it's like the Star Trek IDIC babble.

I'm not deriding this. It is not good or bad, it just is.
Humans are racially conscious, breathe oxygen and are carbon based.

Since your parents are from India, then they left for some reason and decided to stay here. As you know India has a large population in a fairly small area for so many. And that puts a strain on resources. Would you say that in the past some time when the population was about what ours now is, it would have been helpful to try to stay at that level rather than increase to the current level? Of course, in the past it wasn't so easy to humanely maintain a certain population level, but if they could have, wouldn't it have been helpful? Regardless of race, filling a space beyond carrying capacity is a pretty dangerous road. I understand India's aquifers are a cause for concern as everyone needs water. So, if we are concerned about people's use of energy contributing to climate change, then isn't it obvious that we shouldn't be facilitating folk using ever more energy per capita? We would all love a new energy source that is clean, affordable, renewable and won't contribute to climate change. But we don't actually have it yet. Therefore we shouldn't be moving people wholesale from places with low energy use per capita to places with high energy use per capita. We have the examples of high population density, and we need to learn from them and not just replicate them. Only 10% of immigrants to the USA are skilled educated people. They are not a problem here or in their home countries, but folks who are unskilled and uneducated coming here do have significant impact that isn't positive for today's current USA citizens who are average or below and that doesn't even include how much more energy they use per capita after they arrive. Naturally, no one wants their quality of life diminished, so, of course people don't see getting to a billion population as some desirable situation. It sure doesn't look desirable to those leaving the two countries that already have a billion in population. That is why they leave.

... he calls them “invaders”. That is a racist slander.
 

Was legal white immigration in the past an “invasion”?
 

The problem with super well-educated Indians (like your father) is this. When they ascend into positions of wealth and influence, they begin importing large numbers of less-qualified coethnics. That reintroduces clan structures that are detrimental to other ethnic groups.

For example, lots of smart Indian engineers came to America from the 60s through the 90s, with some of them becoming senior managers in American corporations. When they had become established enough in management, they began to push for importing enormous hordes of H-1B programmers. Some of these H-1bs are pretty smart, but the majority are mediocre (or even incompetent at times). Coincidentally, when an Indian manager hires H-1bs, they somehow always come from same tribe (language, caste, etc.) as the manager.

Now there are enormous Indian clan structures that dominate much of the IT/software sector of the U.S. and other Anglo countries, with Europe now coming into their sight. Through ethnic networking, they're capturing the industry and pushing out other races.

So even when you have smart Indians who contribute value, eventually they're going to start importing hordes of their mediocre coethnics and taking over your society.

The author describes immigration since the 1960s as an “invasion”, making no distinction between legal and illegal immigration.

Real, i.e. natal female, lesbians have felt the brunt of boys in dresses for years. Check out the website "TERF is a slur" for pages and pages of examples of their deranged thinking. For those whose sense of humor tends to the ridiculous, I recommend the YouTube channel of boy-in-a-dress "some women have penises" Riley J. Dennis, replete with bouncing Adam's apple. His (!) view, in sum, is that sexual preference is socially conditioned and that if a lesbian won't "date" (have sex with) _him_, while not being an actual bigot, she definitely has "transphobia" issues ("nobody falls in love with genitalia," yada, yada, yada).

For their part, juiced and mastectomized bearded ladies (i.e. trans "men") have not been as much on the radar screen of most actual gay men. This has not stopped self-appointed gay church ladies from decrying honestly held preferences "for guys with outdoor plumbing" as - wait for it - "transphobic". There is a difference between being fearful and being grossed out. I make no internet recommendation for examples, out of respect for my fellow men. After all, what is seen cannot be unseen. Proceed with caution. You have been warned.

But why would a man want to say he has “the curse”?
 

They don't. Normal men and normal White men especially are totally absent from any of this, they stay quiet and don't say anything but slowly they're starting to turn into Vince Vaughn and Mel Gibson at the Oscars.

And for this, I, for one, welcome the transgender madness. It's perfectly illustrative that this madness is immune to any sanity checks and will never stop unless it's stopped. The only pullback I can remember is the quiet abandonment of gender fluid pronouns like 'Xir'/'Xe'/'Zir' since they were just too much of Tumblr IRL and the number of them made it impossible to train normies to use them.

They now just insist on 'They', shockingly without anyone apparently killing themselves over the invalidation of their 'Zir' pronoun by their own community.

You've got it the wrong way around. It's not a man saying he has the curse, it's a woman with the curse saying she's a man. Being temporarily forcibly reminded that she's not, she has to try to preserve her own concept of sanity by holding that men can menstruate.
And fish, of course, can play the trombone.

People say this because of witnessed, not theorized, cheating, and because of the confirmation when the Asians (wait a minute, if we can kick out Samoans is there any way to separate samosas and stir-fry?) have stellar resumes and no expertise. In fact, plenty of cheaters in cheating cultures (cf Russians) are actually bright and would probably get an acceptable-to-whites score if they didn't cheat at all. Cheating isn't about inability but the Asiatic prime cultural directive for superficial perfection at all times.

Asians develop their brains faster, whites tend to mature cognitively around age 21. They're also far more creative, which those tests don't measure.

Yes, all other races are either stagnant or declining. Steve thinks its "inflated scores" and some here cling to "cheating".

But this rise is almost entirely driven by Asians.

The recent SAT revision seems to have added perhaps 100 points to all the scores. I believe the scores in the other post were rescaled in some way to make them comparable with current scores. (That is, the Asian increase is over and above the general score inflation.). But I think the graphic here is showing raw scores.

In terms of raw scores, the SAT was designed to be centered at 1000. By the early 90s, the average had slipped somewhat below this, prompting the infamous recentering in 1994. Now on the most recent version the average white score is well over 1100 and even the average black score is in the 900s.

Maybe SAT proctors are making tests easier to appease the low IQ browns and blacks.

Even if they are not doing this now, I believe they will be doing it in the future.

Asians cheat. They take pictures of exams and also leak exams from positions of power.

They have to go back...

However it's also embarrassing to see white scores going down, even if it's slight. Whites are becoming more and more pathetic.

"Well, not if he were Barack Obama, whose July 7, 2016,TV oration from Warsaw denouncing the police shootings of two black men was followed later that day by the murder of five policemen at a Dallas Black Lives Matter march."

“According to various studies—not just one, but a wide range of studies that have been carried out over a number of years—African-Americans are 30 percent more likely than whites to be pulled over."

Absolutely true. But why? From https://openpolicing.stanford.edu/findings

"These patterns illustrate the disparate impact of policing on minority communities. However, as with stop rates, these disparities may not be due to bias. In nearly every jurisdiction, stopped black and Hispanic drivers are searched more often than whites. But if minorities also happen to carry contraband at higher rates, these higher search rates may stem from appropriate police work. Disentangling discrimination from effective policing is challenging and requires more subtle statistical analysis...Nobel Prize winner Gary Becker proposed looking at search outcomes. If officers don’t discriminate, he argued, they should find contraband — like illegal drugs or weapons — on searched minorities at the same rate as on searched whites. If searches of minorities turn up contraband at lower rates than searches of whites, the outcome test suggests officers are applying a double standard, searching minorities on the basis of less evidence. In our data, the success rate of searches (or the hit rate) is generally lower for Hispanic drivers compared to whites; so the outcome test indicates Hispanics face discrimination. For black drivers, search hit rates are typically in line with those of white drivers, indicating an absence of discrimination. Becker’s outcome test is a compelling measure of discrimination. But it’s also an imperfect barometer of bias. The test can fail to detect discrimination when it’s there and can indicate discrimination when it’s not there, as we and other researchers have observed."

"But according to a 2011 report by Obama’s own Bureau of Justice Statistics, blacks, who make up only 13 percent of the population, commit 56.9 percent of shooting homicides."

Due in large part to poverty, unemployment, and gang violence. In other words, environmental.

"The accelerating Scramble for America, in which the world’s 7.5 billion pre-Americans stake their claim to the USA, offers numerous benefits for American elites, such as lower wages to pay, higher prices for their property, more pliable voters, and greater opportunities to trade visas to foreigners in return for meddling abroad."

The results due to Americans who gain elite status by employing the rules of capitalism. Praytell, who are these "elites"? What is their background?

"The stratagem of choice lately has been to demonize any attempt to limit the quantity or improve the quality of immigrants as “white racism” or “white supremacy” or “white nationalism,” and assert guilt by association with the latest (but one) mass shooter."

Actually, because a number on the left characterizes certain groups as "beyond reproach" and a number on the right portrays those same groups as "wicked and threatening" is why reasonable discussion about immigration reform in unable to gain traction.

"The wisest man in American history, Benjamin Franklin, pointed out in 1754 that Americans enjoyed the highest standard of living in the world, with high wages and low land prices allowing early and nearly universal marriage, due to the low population density."

The "wise man" also had stark insight into a certain group of Europeans. Was he dead wrong in his assessment? --> "Those who come hither are generally of the most ignorant Stupid Sort of their own Nation…and as few of the English understand the German Language, and so cannot address them either from the Press or Pulpit, ’tis almost impossible to remove any prejudices they once entertain…Not being used to Liberty, they know not how to make a modest use of it…I remember when they modestly declined intermeddling in our Elections, but now they come in droves, and carry all before them, except in one or two Counties...In short unless the stream of their importation could be turned from this to other colonies, as you very judiciously propose, they will soon so out number us, that all the advantages we have will not in My Opinion be able to preserve our language, and even our Government will become precarious."

Beliavsky, it's a hideous article.

The entire thing is a series of academics blame shifting the basic driving issue which is that black behaviors--crime, disorder, academic effort--are on average much worse than whites'.

The other thing is it is steeped in this assumption--sprung from Jewish minoritarian, but now utterly mainstream in good-white thought--that the white majority just has *no* right to have it's own stuff. White gentile/flyover/deplorable Americans are simply serfs to be ordered about for the good of minorities. It's worse for white kids when they are subjected to a highly "integrated" school ... so what! Minorities benefit. Who are white people to object?

~~~

The other--bigger picture--thing to note is that this "white's must integrate", like all the things the "liberal" good-thinkers claim is normatively based on the idea that America is a "community"--we're all in this together--so we arrange the entire community to help everyone in it out.

But this is in complete contradiction to their immigrationism, which is essentially a claim that America isn't a community at all.

Which is it?

I think we know the answer ... whatever screws deplorable white people is right and just.

I think even the die-hard Progressives have always known deep down that their whole "integration" program is just a recognition that it sucks to be around Black people.

Knowing this, they understood that the biggest disadvantage of being Black is having to be around other Blacks. Thus, integration was always a program to improve the lot of black people by shifting this burden to white people. In other words, somebody has to "take the hit" by being around Blacks. So, of course, it should be white people to the maximum extent possible.

The problem with such, err, thinking is that there is a LOT more at stake than Trump getting a deserved (in your view) comeuppance for his boorish behavior -- what about that concept is not clear to you? -- and btw, do you disagree with the notion that some women are indeed so unattractive that a man -- especially a man like Trump, a billionaire, who could be expected to find his female accompaniment amongst the most attractive women -- would not make a sexual advance?

I don't think so.

When Trump denies charges of sexual assault by saying the accusers were too unattractive for him to molest, he deserves to lose.

They're supposedly disproving his claim that this was just talk. The claim was that he couldn't resist beauty. Seems perfectly fair to point out these women aren't beautiful.

You're right of course. When someone makes a lying accusation against you, trying to ruin something you've invested massive amounts of time, effort, and money in, you definitely should be very polite to them. Especially if they are women. Make sure to avoid hurting their delicate feelings. Or implying that there is anything wrong with them or their behavior.

I don’t remember previous Republican nominees being accused of sexual assault by multiple women

It wasn't deemed necessary to set up such women. None of the previous Republican nominees represented a threat to our elites.

There are soooooo many White students harshly treated by schools simply to equalize exclusion rates. It's certain that were both races dealt fairly by the leftist NMCWLs the exclusion rates for blacks would be astronomical.

Here is one example of equalization of discipline in Syracuse schools. They brought a lady in from Baltimore to straighten out the local schools. Hijinx ensue...

College and pro sports stars aren't a big enough fraction of the population to matter. And a low clearance rate of murders in the black ghetto may decrease the number of blacks in jail for murder, but it's not a policy that favors blacks--the murder victims in the ghetto are almost all black, just like the murderers.

Replies: @anon

In many schools there is pressure to equalize discipline rates by race, which leads to under-punishing of black delinquents.
 

(1) The fraction of murders cleared in black areas is lower, since blacks are less likely to report crimes to the police. (I think this is true — can someone supply supporting evidence?)

Courtesy of NPR, you can type in the name of a city to find out clearance rates: How Many Crimes Do Your Police 'Clear'? Now You Can Find Out. Hint: when there is more than one listing for a city, look for Municipal Police.

If achieved by reducing legal immigration in a race-neutral manner, yes. If achieved by trying to expel non-white legal residents and citizens, no.

Why the caveat that immigration restriction must be "race neutral"?

There are a few routes that can square the circle.

A Millet System. The US taxes in order to provide for the General Welfare and then taxes communities to provide social services for those communities. Indians pay taxes to give welfare to Indians, Mexicans to Mexicans, etc and the resulting inequality in benefits and differential tax rates must be accepted. Schools, universities, hospitals, etc all serve their own specific communities.

Essentially we get multiple communities coinhabiting the same country but with discrimination legalized, everyone is in their own little country. You see diversity on the street but in the businesses and neighborhoods you find "safe zones."

Another alternative is minority acceptance of differential immigration in order to rebalance the demography of the US.

Another alternative is a SuperFund like the Resolution Trust Corp. which buys up properties for people involved in a Big Sort and as we move people around in the US, we rebalance demography by state.

Another alternative, similar to differential immigration, is differential birth incentives. Again, this takes time, but bigger baby bonuses for whites and none for minorities, ends up boosting white demographics.

The key concern that I believe underlies what is going on is ratio, not total number. Get whites back up to 80% or higher and the concerns go away or at least become very manageable.

Another alternative is like what France did with Emigration Bonuses - pay people to leave. The small communities are not the existential threat, it's the large ones, like Africans and Mestizos who are transforming America. Muslims are in their own category.

You noted that whatever efforts are taken will harm various minorities but the flipside is that the entire anti-discrimination/pro-diversity schema is harming whites, dispossessing them in the society that their ancestors built for them. Right now some Ivies are under threat of suit by Asian groups in order to boost Asian admission rates. Admission is a zero-sum game. Gentile Whites are already the least represented group on campuses built by their ancestors. The Asian groups smartly don't advocate that any particular group be reduced in order to make way for their disproportional gain, probably because they assume that the group who must give way for them is to be Gentile White. This is present-day harm to Whites.

Eliminate this entire racial spoils system and we reduce a lot of the tension. If government-backed desegregation was bad back in the 50s, government-backed integration is the flip-side of the very same coin, also bad. Government has no business in pushing integration.

All that said though, I don't see how we can go from Point A, present-day, to any Point-B. The more likely scenario is to tighten the screws, let the pressure build as the existing system continues to be exploited by those who benefit from the racial spoils system, and eventually the pressure can't be contained and all hell breaks loose.

This brings up the question. If black people in America are so convinced that their status is the consequence of systemic racism then why don't they demand separation? Or why is there no movement within the black community for a return to Africa?

What do the verdict in the O.J. case, Rodney King beatdown, Trayvon Martin thing, Michael Brown assault, Obama election etc. have in common?

In all of them, blacks, to the tune of 92-95%, sided with the black person involved--and this irrespective of the evidence etc.

We all know this. It's right in front of our faces. Polls confirm it.

So, why don't those people choose freedom from their oppressors? Why aren't they clamoring for release?

Could it be that deep down, blacks know that they couldn't hack it alone? That they are, indeed, incapable of building and maintaining a modern state?

No one race is gifted with everything. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Blacks can run fast and jump high, but those aren't particularly valuable strengths today. Were they to return to Africa though, those gifts would once again become valuable if blacks returned to their Roots, i.e. a hunter/gatherer lifestyle in which the men chased down and speared wild game.

But to do so would mean that they would have to forsake the easy living of today's lifestyle--and they won't do that. They're stuck, and they know it.

Rather than curse God or natural selection for having conferred upon them so few gifts that work to their advantage in the white man's culture, blacks instead blame the culture itself and grimly hang on with a vague, resentment-fueled sentiment for some kind of Hope and Change.

This is neither Heaven nor Hell. It is Purgatory.

That's why I'm not "alt-right". It's a white separatist movement whichis their right to engage in. Still like you I'm a non-white race realist and recognize that many of the social problems are due to group differences in IQ & culture.

How to exclude non-whites from the benefits of the society whites built? Well for one thing, scale back national-level welfare state programs.

Segregation as a principle is basically freedom. Here's a white area, here's a black area, maybe here's an area for people from India. Each community can do things their own way, they are free to trade with each other, and they can't really make demands on each other.

Basically the model of the Articles of Confederation, which was smacked down so strongly in the Civil War. But it's still under the surface for a lot of people including me -- even though my ancestors came here after the Civil War. I understand freedom.

How are non-whites going to be excluded from American society other than through whole-sale violence?

These men should be satisfied with the equivalent of what Israel has--a White majority. No expulsions. Is a White majority in the United States acceptable to you, Indian Guy?

Replies: @Beliavsky

One of the things that's just hard to swallow about Taylor and his philosophy is the sheer, perverse ahistoricity of his vision for America.

Look, if, from the end of the Civil War until now, there has never been any real possibility of displacing the populations which are other than the "ancestral" population of the US, then it is never going to happen. Forget about whether it would be "right" to make it happen -- it is, in fact, not going to happen.

It's difficult to have a serious discussion of such matters with someone so stuck on an idea and vision that everybody with a particle of sense knows comes out of a fantasy world.

There's also something absurd about getting to the awareness we have of the differences between groups by noticing some hard realities, and then going off into a dream world to solve the problems we encounter.

And why do we need to find some way to displace, say, blacks? We had proportionately as many blacks in Eisenhower's time as now -- was that period an unlivable hell? Yes, we have more Hispanics, but by any reckoning they create less societal disharmony than blacks.

What the country needs is a vision of America that is feasible, but restores some of the basic values of nationalism and pride we enjoyed as a nation some decades ago. The virtue of looking back to previous eras in America is that we know something along the same lines is at least possible.

And of course there are any number of groups and peoples who possess ability equal, or essentially equal, to that of Europeans (or is it in Taylor's view Northern Europeans? Or just Anglo-Americans?) to fit in and contribute to our nation. If they are already here, why not simply embrace them, if they are fully willing to assimilate and become themselves proud Americans?

In my view, it is perverse, both strategically and morally, not to do so.

One thing I will say for Trump: he genuinely seems to embrace this broader vision of what America should be like. He genuinely does not seem to line up behind Taylor and others.

Despite all the terrible, horrible things he supposedly believes, he seems in fact to be a very tolerant and even magnanimous man.

Well, put it this way.

The stupid fools who run Iceland have decided to make big show of their 'virtue' by inviting in hundreds of Syrian 'migrants'.

Iceland is about as remote, isolated, parochial, historical and self contained as any white 'homeland' gets.
Once Iceland has turned black, one just *knows*, in his heart, that it's all over.

All I am saying is that the historic European nations which haven't been 'enriched' as of yet - forget the USA - be allowed immigration control.
Nothing more, nothing less.

Perhaps the nationalists can carve out a territory for themselves that is governed by racially restrictive laws. They may start, for example, by devising a restrictive covenant in a private neighborhood and build up from there. Of course, such a covenant is not legal in the U.S. (although it used to be), and what does the state use to stamp out illegal activities when it wants to? Violence, of course.

By the way, ethnic cleansing != genocide. ("-cide" means kill.)

Questions back to you: Do you think any white people have a right to a country of their own, the kind that other peoples the world over enjoy? Like America, many European countries have significant non-White populations. How would the native stock ever have its own homeland and preserve its unique heritage (the way Indians do theirs) without the kind of separation that you find so objectionable?

(but the average IQ of Indian-Americans seems to be above 100 due to selection).
 

High IQ Asian-Americans are contributing more per capita to America, in medicine, technology, and other fields, than the low-IQ whites who are increasingly out of the work force.

That wasn't the question, was it?

High IQ Asian-Americans are contributing more per capita to America, in medicine, technology, and other fields, than the low-IQ whites who are increasingly out of the work force.

No, subcontinentals have only taken jobs and university spots from high IQ Whites. Once we take into account subcons' antisocial tendencies (leading to lack of cohesion, cooperation and to a grasping society) and relative lack of creativity, it's a net negative for the country.

"High IQ Asian-Americans are contributing more per capita to America, in medicine, technology, and other fields, than the low-IQ whites who are increasingly out of the work force."

No. They aren't. Generating some revenue for Google or an investment bank is not the same thing as "contributing to America".

High IQ Asian-Americans are contributing more per capita to America, in medicine, technology, and other fields, than the low-IQ whites who are increasingly out of the work force.
 

BUT, we should import the contributions, not necessarily the people.

If we need more high IQ people, we should raise up our own.

When you import new people, you get new aesthetics and new cultural goals. Such a surrender is not a good strategy if it means going from European sensibilities to Afro-Hispanic-Caribbean-Asiatic scrabbling.

ISIS has become a way of doing business, much like Al Quaida.

Even if they are defeated on the ground they have a treasure trove of exciting pr videos. This problem has become intractable now.

I'm sorry, where you writing about Trump or Hillary? (e.g. 30k illegal emails on server, which is a felony punishable by maximum yrs in prison, compromised national security, etc).

Donald Trump took out Pataki, Graham, Jindal, Walker, Perry, Gilmore, Santorum, Christie, Fiorina, Huckabee, Paul, Bush, Carson, Rubio, Kasich and Cruz. He did so with about 65 million dollars with 45 million coming from his own pocket. Together the other candidates spent more than 650 million dollars. They had also support from GOP establishment, Democratic establishment, media (including international media), Hollywood, Finance, Academia and Conservative Inc. In GOP race Bush, Cruz, Rubio and Carson spent about 460 million dollars. In 2012 Mitt Romney spent about 77 million dollars on the GOP race. He was backed by everybody and had a much easier ride. Romney spent about 18.5 dollar on every vote. Donald Trump spent 4.5 dollars on every vote.

Trumps strategy has been holding large events, use social media and say “outrages” (according to liberals) things so media have something to write. Right now, Donald Trump has 10.1 million followers on Twitter. Hillary Clinton has 7.6 million followers. In this round Trump has at least some support from at Fox News and the GOP. Trump has also will also have a ton of grassroots working for him. That means that he will be significantly stronger than before. Hillary and her ilk may spend 2 billion dollars. Trump and GOP would do very well with 500 million dollars. He is marketing genius. His positions have been extremely popular among voters and if he just develop and explain his positions in his RNC speech he may end up winning.

I'm feeling like Finland in the Winter War.

Choose between Hitler or Stalin, but choose we must.

Trump is a tactless boor... perhaps that's why he appeals to so many regular folks.
Even if he's shown no ability for diplomatic restraint, there is absolutely zero evidence that he's actually a racist. Calling everybody a racist has to have gotten worse than the McCarthyites calling everybody a communist. There were certainly communists out there in positions of power in the US, as there are doubtless racists still today, but it's gotten to be more a tool to "take-out" rivals than anything else.

What concerns me most about Trump are the following:

1. His much vaunted ability to make deals may be exaggerated
If he can't make a deal with a jerk like Ted Cruz or Ohio Governor John Kasich or so many of the other establishment Republicans, how do we expect him to deal with Iran, Mexico, China or North Korea, much less a bitterly pissed-off opposition in Congress that has all the resources and tricks at its disposal to obstruct any executive leadership or action. Negotiating a deal when you have the capital or the crucial property location is much different than negotiating with a legislature that might not be persuaded by a President without any of those assets.

2. His management skill and ability to make priorities and focus
So much of his business empire is pretty shallow stuff, based more on licensing the gold-plated Trump brand than actual real estate deals, eg all those hotels with his name that aren't actually his. Furthermore I question his ability to focus. If he were such a great real estate entrepreneur, then why did he get distracted by so many unrelated enterprises; mineral water, steaks, neckties, get-rich guru training, reality television. Finally attention to detail is important, but there are limits and great leaders have to be able to delegate the details so they can focus on the big questions that can't be delegated. The story of Trump spending so much time on the design of his trademark "Make America Great Again" hat is emblematic of this. He was said to have been deeply involved in choosing the typeface, the colors, the materials, the styles, etc. If there was ever a case of a project that might have been suitable to delegate to the best people he had hired, then this might be it. Finally the rumors that he offered Governor Kasich the responsibilities and powers of the Presidency to carry out as viceroy Vice President truly are frightening. If this is true, it certainly sounds like he might not actually even be interested in the hard work, attention and responsibilities of the presidency. Sad! Finally it's also very concerning, that whether, either due to disinterest or inability to focus, he's been unable to scale his campaign operation, raise money or start the very important work of planning his organizational transition for when he takes over the White House in January.

3. His integrity and ability to hire the best people and keep them accountable
As a corollary to the notion that managers have to have the ability to delegate and not obsess with the details, managers still have to focus and be able to keep the team accountable. If he gets too lost with certain unimportant details, in areas that matter more his campaign and eventually his administration might be run too distantly from Trump's attention thanks to his hands off approach. I'm concerned that the opposition might end up watching the administration more closely than the Trump in charge and when they discover anything that has a hint of sleaze, no doubt they'll make a big stink about it. Finally I can't believe nobody has ever expressed the concern about the integrity of his business background. I don't think Trump is necessarily a bad guy, but what industries and what regions have the reputation of suffering from the most corruption? Of course real estate development, casinos, New York, New Jersey and Las Vegas.... Now can we really blame the Trump for playing that game that must be played if one wishes to play the game? No. But when it comes out (and if it can be made comprehensible to the dumb public), it'll make a few pissed off vendors and contractors look like he has some overdue library books.

Don't misunderstand, I'm not suggesting Hillary is better. The only things she's ever managed were Arab Spring and Hillarycare. We remember how those turned out. She can't even get to her own speeches in time...

Trump might be a great guy... or not. Of course with many strengths, but probably also some deficits.
