On Tuesday night, my daughter and her friends went down to Claremont, New Hampshire to see Donald Trump in action. She and her chums range from the not terribly political to those with the usual enthusiasms of youth, so they went mainly because Trump's a hot ticket, and we don't get a lot of those in the Granite State. Her only other candidate encounter this season was at the North Haverhill Fair last summer when Lindsey Graham pounced outside the 4-H barn, no doubt with an eye to recruiting her for one of his "rotating first ladies".
At any rate, after hearing my daughter's account of the night, my sons said they wanted to see Trump, too. I wasn't particularly enthusiastic, having wasted far too much of my time in New Hampshire on campaign events, going all the way back to the oxymoronic "Dole rallies" of 1996. But they persisted. So we checked out the schedule and discovered that he was due to be in Bernie Sanders' socialist fortress of Vermont on Thursday. Which is how we wound up crossing the Connecticut River and traversing the Green Mountain State, and eventually found ourselves in an unusually lively Burlington

An absolutely amazing article that should be read by everybody. At some point in time, we must ask ourselves, “Which other candidate is even remotely capable of doing this?â€
“..... the Republican establishment is planning to run third-party if Trump gets the nomination......”
Classic Steyn. I LOL’ed at that line.
because you are not a feminazi...and you like men....and men probably love you back in spades
Yes. Amazing writer. Perfect grammar. Wonderful vocabulary. Funny, smart descriptions, i.e., “Ben and Jerrified”.
Thank you! You couldn’t be more right! :)
Good read. Thanks for posting this.
That's a really good point.
This is great!!! Thank you for posting this!!
LOve this part:
“It’s also hilarious. I’ve seen no end of really mediocre shows at the Flynn in the last quarter-century, and I would have to account this the best night’s entertainment I’ve had there with the exception of the great jazz singer Dianne Reeves a few years back. He’s way funnier than half the stand-up acts I’ve seen at the Juste pour rires comedy festival a couple of hours north in Montreal. And I can guarantee that he was funnier than any of the guys trying their hand at Trump Improv night at the Vermont Comedy Club a couple of blocks away. He has a natural comic timing.”
And he doesn’t even have to WIN Vermont or Massachusetts or New Jersey, etc.>>>> if he can make it to the general. He has to win the Majority of republican votes in 8 primaries to be a republican candidate. the gope watered down field is making that difficult. then the open convention starts and yeb wins.
42 states. Trump will carry 42 states. Maybe more.

Or maybe, I don’t read what I write before pressing the button, which is not good.
Sorry. I knew it was a typo, but I was just in a playful mood. I should have included a smiley.

I know. I am thick skinned. But I am trying to break the habit of dashing off a thought without reading it first. Its OK that people point it out.
Thank You to the poster.
Awesome read.
Read it all! Go Trump!
I don’t mind having my typos noted either. We all do it. Last night somebody meant to type ‘firing squad,’ and typed ‘firing squid.’ It was an instant hit.
In a thread with a 100 great lines,
YOU WIN BY A LANDSLIDE.
Guffaw-Guffaw smallest staff:):):)
For later.
Ping to ya
Right - perhaps I should have said “campaign” staff.
