In Alabama, Trumps Wizard of Oz Act Leaves Some Fans Underwhelmed
QUIN HILLYER
Toto the dog wasnt needed in Mobile, Ala., Friday night to pull the curtain from behind The Great and Mighty Trump. Trump let his own curtain flutter open, showing to much of the audience the humbug within. In an hour-long verbal meanderthon at half-filled Ladd-Peebles Stadium, Trump allowed an atmosphere of electric excitement to dissipate, and then he split town without his promised post-show press conference.
As I left the stadium, a red-hatted lady of my acquaintance spotted me and pulled me aside, saying: Somebody needs to tell that man when to shut the you-know-what up. People were leaving in droves. Well, not entirely droves, but by my estimate, about 1520 percent of the 18,000 or so attendees Trump publicity organs had earlier said they expected up to 35,000 had filed out before Trump wound up his many-versed hymn to his own toughness and deal-making skills.
The line of the evening belonged to Rob Holbert, a former press aide to Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi and now the co-publisher of the port citys Lagniappe weekly. That speech was more disjointed, he said, than a skeleton after tumbling down four flights of stairs.

You do not have to out me.
He is going to drop like a rock.
To bad really, has some real good ideas. But when simple minded people fall for another cult of personality like you have.
Good deal.
Your answer was spot on. You show an ability to read these types of posters perfectly...mouses with fingers pointing upward, fingers interminably swaying to and fro in the wind....waiting to see what others do.
"Lead me, follow me....or get the hell out of my way" (to paraphrase General George Patton.....or maybe Trump originated it, LOL)
Leni
Dealing with same person on another thread. Check out history Hmmm have your friend put on watch list. Lol
“He is going to drop like a rock.”
Trump almost doubled his lead in the Reuters poll released today. Not drop like a rock, rather take off like a “rock”et, lol.
Believe me...Jeff Sessions almost never endorses endorses anyone....Him being on stage with Trump friday evening speaks volumes!
Believe me...Jeff Sessions almost never endorses endorses anyone....Him being on stage with Trump friday evening speaks volumes!...
And the fact that he wasn’t going to come originally and then called last minute to ask if he could.
LOL a Rooters poll..LOL.
For the sake of your argument (and only for that reason, as I vehemently disagree):
Same old saw... the lesser of evils... When has that ever worked on Conservatives?
Sittiong around bitching that we don't have another Reagan to run is not going to get you anywhere.
And I suspect that if you were voting in those Reagan years, you would have been one of the people who compained that a movie actor, wannabe cowboy was not the best we could do.
Smart people look at what is available and run with it.
Incidentally, that is Trump's secret to success. People criticize him for taking advantage of laws as they exist and that is what smart people do.
That is also why Jews survive in any monetary system, so long as they don't get killed, they look at what the situation is and take advantage of it as it exists.
I am for Cruz and am hoping that he will peak at just the right time...but if he does not, I sure would take Trump over the wimpy rinos that make up the rest of the field.
Every one of them will give us more of what we already have and claim that we don't want.
Not so. Never has been so.
Sittiong around bitching that we don't have another Reagan to run is not going to get you anywhere.
Neither is voting for exactly that which you oppose. No Sale.
And I suspect that if you were voting in those Reagan years, you would have been one of the people who compained that a movie actor, wannabe cowboy was not the best we could do.
Sorry, but you'd be stone dead wrong. Reagan is the only president I happily pulled the lever for.
Smart people look at what is available and run with it.
No... Smart people vote *FOR* what they would endorse - Because that is what your vote turns out to be... An unqualified endorsement.
I sure would take Trump over the wimpy rinos that make up the rest of the field.
Not me. And get ready for Romney II, as the loss will be just as bad. Folks will pay attention to his record, and he will not win. I will hold out for a statesman and will not be swayed by electioneering - Especially by a populist with a liberal record.
It may not have been Trumps greatest performance but it seems he’s gained more converts from it anyway. Cool!
Thanks for the +1. Whenever I post something about Trump’s buffoonery, I get called RINO and am accused of being a Bush supporter. I was bracing for incoming. ;)
