Cade's unsuccessful rebellion against the crown was featured in Shakespeare's seldom produced play about the reign of King Henry VI. Although not much is known about the historical Cade, the Bard pictures him as a demagogue offering magical solutions to real problems in an exchange that features a memorable retort from one of his followers. In response to popular acclaim Cade says: "I thank you good people--there shall be no money; all shall eat and drink on my score; and I will apparel them all in one livery, that they may agree like brothers and me worship me their lord." <br /><br />To which Dick the Butcher famously responds" "The first thing we do, lets kill all the lawyers." And Cade says "That I mean to do."<br /><br />A recurring theme of interviews with Trump supporters is that they like him because he is a businessman who knows how to get things done and not a lawyer or one of those do nothing politicians. When pressed for specifics on how he would solve the formidable task of removing 11 million illegal aliens in the face of formidable legal and logistical barriers he responded that he would do it by replacing all the idiots now running government programs with efficient managers. Just like building a hotel.<br /><br />Tom Evans<br /><br /><br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-23846844557446635572015-08-26T12:22:18.192-05:002015-08-26T12:22:18.192-05:00Nope, just a reader of the news.Nope, just a reader of the news.Coeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06130250489695215525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-57260296625377114862015-08-26T11:57:20.269-05:002015-08-26T11:57:20.269-05:00Ah, you are a Red Sox fan.Ah, you are a Red Sox fan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-14610045588769899042015-08-26T11:55:30.373-05:002015-08-26T11:55:30.373-05:00So true, John.

He's certainly the candidate the Republicans deserve. He's free of the tethers of the big money men who want to win elections- he is the Republican id run lose, unhidden from its political correctness, so to speak. <br /><br />I'm excited and terrified to watch. I rather like the description your friend gave of Trump- "He speaks like the guy who has three drinks at the end of the bar. He just talks." Although I think he sounds like those guys wish they sounded like after three drinks. He genuinely has a weird, terrifying way about him.scottmprizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005945296255906630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-36027253235703245322015-08-26T08:24:16.927-05:002015-08-26T08:24:16.927-05:00Bad as Trump is, he's not quite in that catego...Bad as Trump is, he's not quite in that category.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-52161472453348004642015-08-26T08:09:35.369-05:002015-08-26T08:09:35.369-05:00I don't know.
