Valid point. Television and photography can be used/abused to either enhance or detract from someone's appearance in a manner utterly unrelated to facts.

They say if you listened to the Nixon-Kennedy debate that Nixon clearly won, but if you watched it, Kennedy won, because of Nixon clearly sweating from the heat of the camera lighting.

But he did get pilloried for it, and it had nothing really to do with reality.

It's because the Media is the greatest threat to this nation which we currently face. They are the ones empowering the Democrat machine.

Not for federal elections, it isn’t.

I think the founders intended that the only federal elections are when the electors vote for the president.

That is why Don Trump has such strong support. He's the only one that knows what to do with them.

There is much truth in that. I do not want Donald Trump. I regard him as a faux conservative and political opportunist.

That being said, I will take him over Jeb, Rubio, Kaisch, Graham, and all the other little dwarves.

I prefer Ted Cruz or Scott Walker, but If Trump wins the nomination, i'll support him.

He realizes that the main enemy is the Liberal media. That the contest is between him and them, and no one else.

The smartest guy who ever lived had this take....

Wisdom and Folly Compared

Ecclesiastes:
27 Behold, this have I found, saith the Preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account; 28 which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.

Ladies, please don’t beat me over this the way my loving wonderful German wife does...as I am but the messenger, not the Author.

Note The Preacher counts only 1 man among a thousand...so he considered most of us with zippers in the front weenies as well. :->

True, at the start that would have been the only one, and even then, the states actually determine how the electors are chosen.

Yes but sadly most men think with their Johnson.

Thinking with your Johnson is still far superior than quivering in fear of breaking a nail.

Just curious—why do you feel women shouldn’t be allowed to vote?

I’d be fine with women voting as long as their husband isn’t Uncle Sugar.

I get that PDT thing too—on pings.

It’s a mystery.

I’m anxious to get an answer to my question on women voting.

Speaking for me and all my very intelligent, well-educated female relatives, I have just one comment: Suck it up. Misogyny is NOT a conservative value.

And by an AMAZING COINCIDENCE, every year since the Democrats have targeted female voters to enact everything from pro-abortion laws to anti-gun laws.

The Bible has a few verses specifically addressing who is to be the leader in the family, in the church, and in society. And we are finding out the hard way what happens when we think we know better in the name of ‘fairness’...starting with around the current taxpaying population missing something like 1 in 5 people due to Roe V. Wade.
