    The Trump Card...

    Trump's business skills will carry him only so far. His lack of political experience, his narcissistic character traits, the worldwide scope of the office and the fact that not everyone in the world wants to make a deal will test Trump in ways he has never been tested before. He will also be...

    Electronic logs

    This driver was saying no paperwork, as in no paper documents to even scan. BOL is on his phone and the shippers and consignees sign on his phone screen.

    The Trump Card...

    I posted the Trump-positive article ("11 Times Donald Trump Looked Like He Was Done For") and the Rasmussen poll results above to establish a baseline. Today's baseline is the point from which Trump's future support can be measured. While I may be wrong, and am open to that possibility, I...

    The Trump Card...

    For reference, here's results from one of the previous polls. Both may be correct (more or less as any poll is). They were done at different times. A Pew Research opinion poll conducted between Nov. 30 and Dec. 5, after the election had cast the usual victor’s glow on Donald Trump, indicated...

    The Trump Card...

    Wow! You are right. A Google search today for news stories about these Rasmussen poll results produces a nearly blank page. Even Trump-friendly Fox news does not appear in the search results. A search of the Fox News site produces many mentions of Rasmussen but none about this 51% poll result...

    Electronic logs

    An OTR big-rig driver came in to use our gym a couple days ago. He recently changed carriers to one that is totally paperless and he was thrilled about it. NO PAPERWORK!, he exclaimed. His electronic logging is done with his Qualcom unit. All other paperwork, including BOL signatures, is done on...

    The Trump Card...

    Par for the course. Part of the game. Obama was subject to similar scrutiny. So were prior presidents. Just part of the game.

    question about class C hazmat van frieght

    Interesting. Just curious. Have the advantages of hauling HAZMAT faded for straight trucks also?

    The Trump Card...

    That is my point exactly. The showmanship on the front porch, while understandable, is nothing more than that.

    The Trump Card...

    It just occurred to me how Trump can advance the cause of term limits in a truly meaningful and effective way. To establish term limits, the U.S. Constitution must be amended. There are two ways to do that. One way is by 2/3 vote in both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate. The other way is to call...

    The Trump Card...

    Key word: "feel." You hit it exactly. I don't think it is about logic or even results. The amount of support Trump retains will depend on how his supporters FEEL about him in a year or so.

    The Trump Card...

    Satisfy such a perception? What do you mean by that? In every government program the financials are available to see. When this defense contractor talks about getting the costs down, I'm not looking for something to see that is impossible to provide. I'm looking for the kind of information an...

    The Trump Card...

    In this case, the only result produced is showmanship on the front porch. No facts and no credible data have been shared. To be fair, Trump is not in office yet. No one is expecting him to do much before then.

    The Trump Card...

    Be fair. I have never once suggested or implied that Trump voters can be lumped together as you describe above. The implication you draw from the words "a greater number" is an incorrect implication and it is one made solely by you. About such a lumping, I have said no such thing, I have implied...

    The Trump Card...

    I thought about your words as I read these words in the Wall Street Journal: "Trade battles between the world’s two largest economies would hurt both sides, economists said. When the U.S. slapped tariffs on imports of Chinese tires in 2009, it saved up to 1,200 jobs, according to a Peterson...

    The Trump Card...

    We'll have to wait and see on that one but my sense is that if Trump proposes the amendment, the Washington Post would count it as a promise kept. The language "propose" is straightforward and clear. To keep the promise, Trump does not even have to have a friend in congress introduce the bill...

    Not included in the Trump promises listed above is "Lock her up." Trump promised to put Hillary in jail. He did it in public in a debate. He did it to her face. Elsewhere, Trump promised to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary. After he won the election, Trump informed his...
