Donald Trump tops a new poll of candidates Americans think are most likely to say something inappropriate during Thanksgiving and ruin the meal. The survey from the left-leaning Public Policy Polling finds that 46 percent of Americans think Trump would say something to kill the mood surrounding the turkey feasting.

SNL this last Saturday did a Thanksgiving skit that was pretty funny.

They have the family sitting down to dinner and one member makes a political comment. A little girl roles her eyes and walks over to a CD player and she turns on Adele's "Hello" and everyone stops fighting and some of the family begins to sing along.

They turn the tape off, go back to eating, and when somebody else talks politics, the little girl turns "Hello" back on.

The crescendo of the skit was everyone singing to "Hello."

Probably the funniest skit in quite some time.

If by ruin you mean ticking off your liberal family when they find out you agree with 90% of what he says.....then yes, yes he will.

Oh, I’m sure for me it will be my sister-in-law’s ex-pat sister who currently resides in Canada, but comes to visit over the holidays.

The polled:

“Dubbed the “nuclear codes” by campaign aides, the Obama campaign database (now OfA’s-note urban dictionary meaning) is widely described as one of the most powerful tools ever developed in American politics.

According to published reports, it contains the names of at least 4 million Obama donors – as well as millions of others (the campaign has consistently refused to say how many) compiled from voter registration rolls and other public databases. In addition, the campaign used sophisticated computer programs — with code names like “Narwhal” — to collect information through social media: Anybody who contacted the campaign through Facebook had their friends and “likes” downloaded. If they contacted the campaign website through mobile apps, cellphone numbers and address books were downloaded. Computer “cookies” captured Web browsing and online spending habits.

“I can’t think of anything that rivals this data,” said Coney, noting that much of the data was voluntarily supplied by voters, something that consumers are often reluctant to do when dealing with commercial companies. “The private sector would love to be able to do what the (Obama) campaign was able to do.”

OFA spokeswoman Hogan said that Obama supporters have the option in emails they receive of opting out — or unsubscribing — from the list, as required by federal law. But critics say that is not necessarily an option for information collected about voters through other means (such as public databases) and note that many on the list likely don’t notice the “unsubscribe” fine print on the emails.”

Lol! Trump won’t be at most of our Thanksgiving dinners, but if he were he’d ruin them because he’s such a bloviator. Everybody has an elderly relative like him, bad hairpiece and all. And if the relative is wealthy, there’s usuallty a clueless younger foreign babe wife to whom you have to explain Thanksgivng. I hope Trump’s foreign babe wives have usually been here long enough to to know what Thanksgiving is, at least.

However, I’m worried about some of his followers. They’re like Obama followers...insane and totally devoted to the Great Leader. And I think I have some coming to my dinner...
