BIRDCAGE LINER *PING*.

The GOP debate was a new kind of chick flick...

If the GOPe set this up, either Trump will go higher up in the polls or go third party. If back stabbed maybe I would not blame him.
There is no real difference between Democrats and GopE candidates.

Check out article.

Excellent analysis, grey_whiskers. Thanks.

"Let’s talk about the War on Women. That’s supposed to set up Hillary. Remember when her husband was having illicit sex with 21-year-old intern IN THE OVAL OFFICE? Speaking of “looking good on your knees” — Bill Clinton is the one who introduced that concept to the American people. He sent out his minions to lie about it, he sent out Hillary to lie about it; she even called it a ‘vast right wing conspiracy’ until Bill’s body fluids were found on Monica's famous blue dress. And Bill Clinton suborned perjury — a FELONY — in the Paula Jones case, and is creditably accused by Juanita Brodderick of literal rape. Where were you in the press, back then?”

That is excellent retort to war on women meme, which Hillary is guaranteed to use. I hope that paragraph gets to the GOP nominee.

Great blog, grey_whiskers....BUMP!

I totally agree. Great job
Even during the debate, I was ‘armchair advising’ him on how to answer.
Really wish he would have answered the ‘on her knees’ remark with: “I think you have me confused with Bill Clinton.”
Would have been a great one-liner.

There was supposed to be a picture following that last line, but it didn't show up:

I think the reason is this. Megyn Kelly is, by many men’s standards, attractive. There is an important social dynamic in our society: call it chivalry, white knighting, whatever. It states that pretty women are VERY used to men rushing to be nice to them, because, well, “If I’m nice to her, it...it *could* happen.” Or, in a more misandrist light, men are incapable of thinking with more than one head at the same time. I believe that Megyn Kelly has grown so used to being treated in this way — and so used to taking advantage of it — that she accepted it as automatic, something that just *is*, like the sun going down at night. (Yeah, tell me that’s subliminal, you turkeys. If I had written “sun rising in the morning” you’d have accused me of the same thing.) But what she forgot is that Donald Trump is a billionaire — who has already had sex with, and married, and had children with, women who were far more attractive than she is. Far more attractive than she even was in her prime. So it never occurred to her that Donald would be anything but bedazzled by her looks: and she had no “Plan B” for when that fell through.

Hot diggity damn, I was thinking the same concept in different terms, as in, "When you're trying to save that damsel in distress, make sure she's not reaching for a stiletto in her garter!"

Also, the possiblity "they" know Jebbie will lose in 2016 but if they can get Trump to go 3rd party, it will provide they same, lame "Perot Excuse" from 1992. I do think it could backfire and Trump could be the first, "true" Indepedent elected President. Celebrity has a lot of power in this country. A lot of people across a broad spectrum of demographics could vote him in. Blacks especially.

Thank you so much for the ping, dearest LucyT

Dearest grey_whiskers put a lot of time into this!!

Perfectly done!

I wish Mr. Trump could read this and now perhaps he will!

Keep in mind Trump is 69 years old. As you get older, memory is the 2nd thing that goes. However logic and wisdom improves with age. A president does not need to be a micro-manager, that was Jimmy Carter. Ronald Reagan was never a micro-manager. He set the direction the country needed to go, and delegated of executing to his cabinet and the executive branch personnel.

I am older than Trump and in case you are wondering what is the 1st thing that goes as one gets older, I can not remember!

Beyond excellent!

[grey_whiskers]

Nope. Typo at the beginning from poor editing following good fact-checking.

"from both Brett Baier" should read "from Brett Baier".

Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of online Grammar-Nazis...

The audience was composed of the delegate to a GOP workshop. Their final event. A Happy Hour cocktail party was held previously. The afternoon session according to Rick Santorum was empty because the delegate were in meeting. Each candidate was given 6 tickets (not enough for his or DTs family.)
The 20,000 seat facility was cut down to 4,500. Delegates got their tickets and a limited number of seats were available through party bosses.
IOW the audience was as well stacked as a little Kim NK birthday celebration

Do you send a link of your blog to Drudge ?

Mr Trumps address is on his official web site. You really should send it to him

I gave up sex when I was 30-years old. No, I do not miss any of it and the serenity that resulted is very nice. As for my memory, it is sharp, very sharp.

It’s my hearing that sucks.

I want to suggest to everyone that viewing The Apprentice on youtube.com would help many people, particularly those who think that The Donald is a liberal. It isn’t noticeable and little clues to his true beliefs sneak in from time to time. He is no more liberal than most conservatives I have met here on Free Republic. I’m about to complete season 6.

Mr.Trump gave up The Apprentice to start his political campaign for President. He turned away from earning millions of dollars because he feels the nation is going in the wrong direction. Is he doing this for the Clintons? No, I don’t believe so.

I blame errors on new tablet

[grey_whiskers]

Sorry, I don't blog. I just get stuff off my political chest here on FR.

I hope Trump can make a deal with Newsmax TV. Time to balance it out with Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin as moderators. Should be two debates, one on Newsmax TV at prime time and the other on radio during the daytime hours between 12n and 3pm

[entropy12]

hahaha where did I say anything about giving up sex?
