For this weekend I was originally going to write on five reasons why Obama will be reelected in 2012. Why the gloomy prediction? Well, for me at least, it’s primarily because this current crop of GOP hopefuls gets me about as excited as watching Joy Behar doing an interpretive dance in Borat’s thong to The Doors’ classic hit “Riders on the Storm” (the extended version) while smoking a cigar with spinach in her teeth.
Now, that doesn’t mean that I don’t like certain—or many—aspects of the various conservative contenders who are starting to jockey for position; it simply means that I think Obama the Swiffer would dust them with his billion dollar Chi-town based voter fraud fueled spin machine. That’s all.
So, what caused me to change the topic for this week’s screed? Well, I saw The Donald open up a can of verbal whup ass on Obama on Hannity last Thursday and Friday night. It was extremely convincing in that he had refreshingly solid, no-BS answers for the multifaceted debacles “the worst president ever” has entrenched us in and explained how he sees himself as the crap-cutting dealmaker to pull us out.
And it seems that I’m not alone in finding DT’s comments compelling. According to every poll out there America really digs what Donald is doing, and he’s either tied or ahead of the GOP wannabe pack. Trump is even polling better than Barack in the new Biden/Michelle Obama poll. It’s a madhouse, folks. A madhouse.
Another thing that makes me hopeful that Donald can trump Obama in 2012 is that David Plouffe, the White House’s chief ploofer, says that Trump has “zero chance” at becoming president. This translates to me as they’re shaking in their taxpayer-funded wingtips over there at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and are praying to God (or whoever the hell they pray to) that Trump doesn’t run.
I was at my favorite cigar bar in Miami this past week when one of my good conservative Cuban aficionados asked me if I could really vote for Trump, to which I said, “Uh … yeah. I voted for McCain. I still haven’t forgiven myself. Pray for me.”
Here are my buddy’s problems with Trump:
1. He’s arrogant. My answer: Well, if he is, it’s not without cause.
He’s insanely successful. There’s nothing wrong about being right. (like I am with my parenting book. I believe it’s the best book in the world on raising righteous and rowdy girls, and my nation- changing kids prove it. It’s a fact, Jack. No need to be bashful.) As far as Trump is concerned, his business accomplishments are legendary. Why shouldn’t he be proud? BHO’s main claim to fame, before Soros put the first affirmative action president into the White House, was ACORN.
2. He’s an adulterer. As a Christian and a conservative I’m supposed to shun Donald because he’s an adulterer, to which I say, according to the biblical maxim … well, aren’t we all? I believe Jesus said that if you look lustfully at a woman it’s the same as if you shagged her. One comedian put it succinctly by telling the sanctimonious who condemn those who’ve literally wandered from their marital vows by saying, “He that hath an empty hand, let him throw the first stone.”
3. Trump is not serious, and this is just a publicity stunt. Yeah? Well, it’s a value added punking as he is saying all the things to Obama and his ilk that Americans want someone with a big prime time megaphone to say.
I think the Trump Rebellion is dee-licious. It’s injecting attitude and information, not via some tepid politico but via a mogul who has had enough of Barack’s bunkum, who gets the socialistic game Hussein is hoisting on us, and who hates countries who hate and use us. Trump is probably the only one with the money (or who could get the sufficient cash) to go up against this Soros-funded reelection hell machine.
So, is The Donald the perfect candidate? Look, Spanky, no one is perfect.
Jesus was the only perfect person to schlep this rock. However, comb over be damned, I’d vote for Trump right now. My perfect candidate, however, would be an amalgam of several candidates, a combination of Donald Trump with Mitt Romney’s hair, Newt Gingrich’s grasp of American History, and Mike Huckabee’s heart. Bam! That’s gold. Pure gold.
Anyway, if DT does not take on BHO he sure as heck has shown the boys and girls looking on that you can take BHO on and not be McCain McNice about it, and giddy Americans will line up behind you because they are pig sick of how Obama is destroying our great land.
Mitt Romney will not take the fight to the Democrats. The media considers him the only really serious GOP candidate.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I have no intention of voting for Trump. But the Trump-bashing is just doing the work of the NYT.

Giles has his head up his ass on this one, not that that is all that unusual. He obviously had not listened (and I mean REALLY listened) to what Sarah had to say in Madison yesterday. She knows how to rally and inspire people and she showed more leadership in one 15 minute speech than the Deceiver in Chief has in 2½ years.
Maybe what our country really NEEDS is someone who is not afraid to pull hair, scratch, bite and knee in the groin to get our country back on the rails.
Here’s what I’ve noticed about Trump that worries me... he’ll say anything he thinks his audience wants to hear. The problem with that is, we don’t know who he is. Do we like him because he’ll say Obumpka will go down as the worst president in history when talking to Rush, then scratch our heads when, in front of a black audience he says Bush was evil, ... c’mon, “just who the hell is this guy?”
One thing is for sure Trump can dish it back and the DNC media can’t take it or the Republican establishment. Time will tell if Trump is serious. He gets hit and gives it back at them twice as hard. That’s being a man.
Sarah is from fly-over country. She talks funny. Didn't go to a fancy school. Her husband is a fisherman, and they both engage in "low-class" activity like hunting for food.
Donald Trump lives in NYC. He's got a great education -- as do his kids. He's a billionaire, and he attends very swanky parties. He not only golfs, he owns golf courses.
Sarah Palin knows the life of working people. Trump knows the life of entrepreneurs.
And they both agree that Obama knows nothing except living off the system and exploiting the work of others.
It's a two-prong attack.
Sarah has the best character and she has the best ideas. She's got my vote; Trump does not. But Trump is serving a very useful purpose, and it is foolish to put him down for the work he is doing right now.
or how about someone who's not a afraid to cut that ridiculous orange mop off his forehead?
My only pronlem with Trump is that we cannot elect him and swear him in NOW!!!!!!!!!!
And even today is too long to wait!
I spell relief NOW—RIGHT NOW!
Reagan was against us before he was with us!
I am not voting for Trump either, but I would vote for Trump before I would vote for Romney ,Huckabee or Newt.
Yep, I am sure sure she did, but good luck selling it to NY and CA.
Do you think Obama would have gotten with his destruction without the Senate and Congress backing him?
Y’all put too much emphasis on the Presidency and not enough where the power really lies. It is in the Legislature!!! You want to stop Abortion? You want a Balanced Budget? You want the RKBA? You want the Borders Protected? IT IS THE LEGISLATURE WHERE ALL THIS HAPPENS!!!!!!! The Presidency is an 8yr. term at most, the Legislature can undo anything a President accomplishes. If we want our conservative roots back and a Constitutional form of government is has to be done at the state level, by electing Conservatives there!!! That is where OUR representation is!
For me, the jury is still out on Trump’s genuineness.
However, for now I fully support him because he is the only one out there accurately pinning the tail on the donkey.
My guess is that while he is the most savvy and experienced in the ways of the world, and best equipped to take on the communist machine, he is not yet aware of the full scope of the warfare we are currently in.
He says he’s a christian, and that he is pro-life,
But I really wonder if he sees the dramatic polarization and alignment that exists between politics and faith.
I wonder if he has a firm grasp on where we are from a biblical point of view. If he does, and he is just playing dumb right now, I would say he’s a genius. If he does not see what is going on spiritually here, then that is where he is extremely vulnerable.
I think that as time progresses, and he begins exposing his underbelly to the beast of oppression, he will be drawn closer and closer to greater spiritual reality, or he will be destroyed very quickly.
Tim Pawlenty and Mike Huckabee, and Newt also won’t take the fight against the Rats.
The key line is where the author says that Trump is succeeding because he is saying things on a big-time platform unequivocally. Palin called the birth certificate a "distraction." She's waffled about China. Trump goes after both the BC and China and doesn't mince words.
The path to success is clear: Obama, Obama, Obama. Stop trying to play nice, and above all, STOP CRITICIZING REPUBLICANS. John Boener is not running for president in 2012. This is so clear, and so simple, I'm astounded that so many people who think they want to be president don't get it. The first conservative to copy The Donald in TONE and DIRECTNESS (including on China, oil, and the Birth Certificate) wins.
I don't think Trump is a conservative and you're right, he only hits a few great notes---but the BC is a hugely important "note" for a lot of reasons and Palin PUNTED it. ("a distraction"---and this weekend she very lamely walked that back just a little). That's why I don't think she's running for Pres., because the person running for Pres. is running against Obama, Obama, Obama.
“It’s a two-prong attack.

If you put these two on the same ticket Obama would wet his panties! That would be a powerful duo!
