Yes, needs a barf alert.

Trump is winning. If he continues to win, there well be multiple speakers at his funeral.

He has already done more than many past presidents.

The author has so many false premises in the story as to be pathetic.

I’m sure we could find more than a few among the 63 million of us who voted for Trump and are glad we did who will speak and they won’t be the bootlicking hypocrites I’ve seen that proudly “cross the aisle” in the Republican Party.

Bush was eulogized by a man of words, a foreign world leader, a onetime ally in Congress and his eldest son --

Woman of few words: Sara Huckabee, foreign leader: Benjamin Netanyahu, onetime ally in Congress: Jim Jordan, Lindsay Graham, and his two eldest sons.

Meanwhile the LSM (lame stream media) would be peeing in their pants/panties with joy over his death.

That the political elite would not speak for OUR president is a solid PLUS !!! WE THE PEOPLE will speak for him.

Sessions learned that loyalty was a one way street? Are you freaking kidding me. Sessions, the ultimate disloyal member of Trump”s cabinet. He got everything he deserved and should have gotten even more scorn and humiliation.

Yes. I know, the hard-core Trump base loves the fact that Trump is a fighter, not a gracious loser. But there are plenty of Republicans who miss the days when something as human as a funeral was above politics.

Of which the petty author just violated this.

Even Jeb said Trump could not be more gracious.

Debra Saunders is supposedly a conservative, but reading this makes me think she is one of those (like many liberal Democrats) who hopes that Trump's end is near.

If one of them (or some unbalanced person inspired by their rhetoric) does succeed in killing the President, what would The New York Times' headline be? "Our long national nightmare is over" (quoting Jerry Ford)?

How about several million people show up at his funeral rather than a few rich cronies?

That warms the cockles of my heart. So true.

Bush Funeral Raises Question: Who Will Speak for Trump?

I will.

And so will a bunch of other Normal Americans.

He does not belong to the pundits, power hungry liberals, the NWO or snowflakes.

He is one of ours.

I watched about five hours of the President Bush funeral ceremonies: two churches and one rotunda. Excellent pageantry, clear rituals, genuine prayers to Jesus and wonderful choirs.

The speeches all seemed fake. Sure, senior Bush was a military man and president. But was he the role model of kindness, grace and service? No way. Bush Sr. was a wimpy president who coasted on the greatness of others.

Also, no one mentioned the name of Reagan in five hours. Sad.

Thankfully, America knows how to put on a dignified funeral for a president. All the military were honorable and all the visitors were free to express their faith.

Funny how Episcopalians use Catholic rituals and still reject Catholicism.

Pity the poor security agents who have to watch Clinton and Obama. Dreadful.

Trump’s funeral will be attended by the people who admire him. Millions.
