The braggart with the ducktail who would be president
Chicago Trib ^ | June 15, 2016 | Garrison Keillor

Posted on 06/16/2016 4:52:22 AM PDT by upchuck

It is the most famous ducktail in America today, the hairdo of wayward youth of a bygone era, and it's astonishing to imagine it under the spotlight in Cleveland, being cheered by Republican dignitaries. The class hood, the bully and braggart, the guy revving his pink Chevy to make the pipes rumble, presiding over the student council. This is the C-minus guy who sat behind you in history and poked you with his pencil and smirked when you asked him to stop. That smirk is now on every front page in America. It is not what anybody — left, right or center — looks for in a president. There's no philosophy here, just an attitude.

He is a little old for a ducktail. By the age of 70, most ducks have moved on, but not Donald Trump. He is apparently still fond of the sidewalls and the duck's ass in back and he is proud as can be of his great feat, the first punk candidate to get this close to the White House. He says the country is run by a bunch of clowns and that he is going to make things great again and beat up on the outsiders who are coming into our neighborhood. His followers don't necessarily believe that — what they love about him is what kids loved about Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious, the fact that he horrifies the powers that be and when you are pro-duck you are giving the finger to Congress, the press, clergy, lawyers, teachers, cake-eaters, big muckety-mucks, VIPs, all those people who think they're better than you — you have the power to scare the pants off them, and that's what this candidate does better than anybody else.

This weirdo sure has room to talk about someone else’s appearance.

Keillor has no business mocking someone else's hair.

Yep the guy has no room o talk about anyone's appearance. First thing I do when I hear the liberal BS being spewed is look for a photo of them and I'm always right about ...and this is a good one...

And 90 % of the time they are knee pad wearers...

TRUMP is unstoppable. He is destined to clean up America.

Yes, that’s the show beloved of oh-so-sophisticated liberals who enjoy mocking people from flyover country in general, and Christians specifically.

And you want to know the worst of it, Garrison? Mr. Trump is entirely a creation of folks like YOU! That is correct. If you and vermin like you had not been spinning and lying to cover for corrupt and treasonous Rats for decades Americans would not have turned to the bully. You can thank yourselves.

Most conservatives would have preferred a Cruz (in spite of his personal failings, had he only owned up from the start) or Walker or even Carson but almost all of us realized the only survivor of the slander and rage you and your fellow Rats would throw was Mr. Trump. And we came to that conclusion fairly quickly, for Americans (hat tip, Mr. Churchill).

So if Rats want to know who to blame for Trump they need look no further than the mirror. Have a nice day. Maybe while you are navel gazing the mirror you could just fall in. There is a land over there you belong in.
