The only movie character that Trump reminds me of is the Terminator. Yes I know John Wayne was not a movie character.

To make the association of Trump to John Wayne is apples to oranges. I give Boomer a fail for trying to make the connection.

The idol worship among Trump supporters around here is almost...dare I say...Obamabot-esque. Hope and Change 2016!

Actually, Bedtime for Bonzo is quite a good movie with a well written, intelligent and entertaining script, and very good acting. I think it is truly one of the great under-rated classics of Hollywood comedies.

Oh, Green - leave it to you to bring up Lee Tracy - why I love you, lol!
I compared Trump to Leo Gorcey in “Dead End” yesterday when he uttered the immortal “Siiiiiiiiiiiiit down.” If only he had given Ramos the mark of the squealer!
That said, Wayne was quintessentially the Western hero. Trump, while I won’t call him a hero, is quintessentially a New Yorker - an Easterner - a Queens boy with all the good qualities and bad. It has enormous appeal to me because I was born and raised in Queens. His vocal rhythms are the sounds of my childhood. To me, oddly enough, he’s a comfort more than the Texas accents and Midwestern accents of the other candidates. And certainly more comforting than the Mexican accent of our “frontrunner.”

The Left used it to demonize Ronald Reagan. They even said the chimp was smarter than Reagan.

Sam Elliott and Clint Eastwood. Now that would be a gunfight!
My very very two favorites.

Check out John Wayne in “Kings Row”. He was great. There is a scene in there that has haunted me all my life.
To: CatherineofAragon
That list looks pretty good.

Trump reminds me more of the Rodney Dangerfield character in Caddyshack

You mean Reagan not Wayne, right? You are right, I mentioned that one in #50.

It feels like the 70’s again to me.
People tired of the Malaise and the weakness.
Trump is kind of Folk Hero like to me, or maybe a even fad like, “The Pet Rock”. I like his shiny idealism though.
Ted Cruz is like the adult trying to capture the attention of a mostly ADHD nation.

Lord have mercy... I think He's decided to give us judgment instead of mercy......
