I know, I know, people laugh at me...
“I find that not watching or listening to anything the BBC does is making me calmer, happier and better informed.”
That’s true of all the alphabet networks and cable news channels, and that includes FNC. I feel much more at ease since I stopped watching that propaganda.
Can someone explain to me how Kanye won his interview with Letterman?
A truly inane article. I must have missed the part where he “wipes the floor” with Letterman.
I don’t get it either. Maybe the title is supposed to be “ironic hipster” clickbait.
It's not so much that 'policy/ideology' doesn't 'work' it's that the sell's harder.
Obama waxed on elegantly about 'more jobs' but his reality was 'cash for clunkers'. Big gap.
I didn't back Trump because he was a celebrity... or because he 'could feel my pain' or word-craft into my heart with speechwriters, but because I felt he was moire able to do the job than to talk about doing the job...
How many times can a group beguile you with stories of a cake so delicious you'll never forget the experience - then serve up burnt crap for the fiftieth time - before you start looking for a baker - (not a talker...)
Delingpole must get paid by the word, not the content.

A few facts of reality....
1. Trump was a known "celebrity" from his uber successful business - BEFORE his TV show.
2. Trump's message from the start was America First - unlike his fellow GOP candidates
3. Trump, in his 2015 announcement, spoke of the illegal alien invasion - unlike his fellow GOP candidates
4. Trump had a background in business & economics that was attractive to voters - unlike his fellow GOP candidates
5. Trump, as a non-political outsider, was recognized by voters as THE answer to the corruption of the Deep State
6. Trump was elected because of the SUBSTANCE of his message was embraced by the voters - not the superficiality of being a "celebrity".
To believe only a shallow, Bi-Polar "celebrity" will be elected is an example of someone lacking a grasp on reality...or using some very powerful mind altering drugs.
Good grief, LS - either get off the drugs or resume your psychotic medication.
I couldn’t trust my feelings. Trumped talked a great game but it took Scott Walker dropping out and Ted Cruz imploding over his inability to accept the reality of what was happening around him before I understood that Trump was the fighter he claimed to be all along. No looking back for me and no disappointment in his performance as the President. This coming year may deal him some serious blows, but that won’t be enough to shake my trust in him. He’s done more for the average working American in three years than the Bushes ever did in 12. He’s got my vote locked up!
I have discovered that for every article claiming that person A wiped the floor with person B, there is an almost identical article claiming that person B wiped the floor with person A.
Ask yourself this: in 2009, would you ever have seen Donald Trump winning the presidency?
No, I know I would never have predicted a Trump presidency back then.
In 2003 Barack Obama was an unknown state senator, not yet a US Senator but a state senator in Illinois. I never would have dreamed he would be elected president five years later.
So clearly someone who is unknown today, or who is well known for something outside of politics, could get into a presidential campaign.
Maybe Oprah will run for president someday. Who knows?
Given Kanye’s proclivities that’s an unpleasant image to put in someone’s mind.
Granted that Letterman’s beards appears to be very absorbent, wiping the floor with him would make it difficult to get into the corners.
“I think in 2024 Kanye will be the GOP nominee.”
Mike Pompeo would be my choice.
LS, I don’t think he’s be the nominee, but I believe Kanye will be a king-maker for the Republicans in 2024.
But I scratch my head trying to think of a successful American business leader who has name recognition and can be trusted to not be owned by the GOPe.
Love your twitter, LS. Go there once a day.
Thanks Rummyfan. The sexist a-hole Letterman saw the writing on the wall with the blowup against Harvey Weinstein, and got "retired" just in time.
Interesting parallel with Dylan who rapped that “the pump don’t work ‘cuz the vandals took the handle” before Kanye learned to rhyme.
I don’t read Kanye wiping any floor here but I didn’t see or hear the interview. Probably lefties are rejoicing at how Letterman wiped the floor.
That part may be true.
But I'll bet you ten tens that Kanye won't be Trump's successor. It's not happening. Celebrity alone is not enough. Trump has an amazing series of gifts, his accomplishments show it. I don't see that in Kanye. He's gritty, independent, and smart, but he needs a lot more than that.
Plus, who knows what will happen after Trump's fourth term.....:-)
