Tom Ridge: Trump is an "embarrassment" to GOP...

GOOD!

...the country

Not so much.

Gee Tom, is it time to panic? Bagpipes we raise the Trump paranoia level to pink and break out the duct tape?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

...teat sucking cockroaches...

I think you got a couple extra words in there.

The American people have finally figured out that you’re full of sh*t and we’re not buying your crap anymore.

I think we've neared the point where the average American is starting to check things out for him/herself. They were originally mollified by Dubya, Ridge, and company that we weren't really at war with "Islam".

Fast forward 14 years, and dozens more terrorist attacks, and "Islam is a religion of peace" just isn't flying anymore. Then Trump offers a plan to temporarily suspend Muslim immigration, and the average American says, "sounds reasonable to me", while the media and political elites go bat$hit crazy, and making references to Hitler.

My 13 YO son asked me about it yesterday, and I flatly told him that Trump has never advocated for internment camps, but that temporary moratorium so the feds can get their immigration procedures reviewed and corrected.

When it comes to history, he trusts his old man completely, because I know my stuff. He's seen me in numerous conversations where I correct someone who's making erroneous comments.

Excellent post #45.

You have a very lucky son.

[Iron Munro]

Ridge would be the perfect Poster Boy for a poster entitled WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE GOP

[Stingray51]

The same Tom Ridge who was the first Secretary of Homeland Security and who presided over the continuing mass immigration by Muslims? The same Tom Ridge who led the establishment of the TSA?

[JaguarXKE]

Here’s a fantasy that would make the GOPe explode - a TRUMP/PALIN ticket!

[jennings2004]

Was he standing on his “tip-toes?”

[Night Hides Not]

You have a very lucky son.

Thanks, you're very kind. I worked out my own concussion protocol, and it's been used once. He got his bell rung a couple of years back. I went down to him and asked three questions:

What happened on June 6, 1944?

What happened on March 6, 1836?

What happened on November 22, 1963? He didn't answer it reflexively like the first two, so I gave him a hint: I was in 4th grade when it happened. lol

He was fine, but his teammates looked at him in awe: how did he know those dates? lol

The same Tom Ridge who was the first Secretary of Homeland Security and who presided over the continuing mass immigration by Muslims? The same Tom Ridge who led the establishment of the TSA?

Yup, but methinks you knew that already...lol.

Correct. More and more are realizing it. Unfortunately, it assures a “D” win, but so be it.

[exit82]

Wow. Glad you’re son was not badly injured.

But that is impressive.

His teammates must have been in awe.

And Jesse Watters might just have another segment. ;)

And Jesse Watters might just have another segment. ;)

Maybe Jesse's lurking here today...

[Travis McGee]

GOPe rhymes with dope.

[JustaCowgirl]

Anyone else realising the same horrible thing?

Yep. It's painful, isn't it.

[Psalm 144]

DHS is the antithesis of American tradition and values.

Filthy Stasi.

Trump or Cruz would be Hillary's worst nightmare. The Donald isn't going to stop calling in to cable news shows, nor will he cease tweeting. He's going to hit Hillary with so much stuff, and in a most direct way.

Cruz is still my #1, but I would vote for Trump in a heartbeat. There is no #3 on my list.

[Uversabound]

Trump is our next President. For real

Please don’t tease me. This needs to happen. Have you heard Hillary, well not much of course on purpose, but she is actually the one who has been un hinged.

GO TRUMP!
