>> She’s trying to pull support from Cruz to Trump by throwing out flat out lies <<

You may be misjudging her. I suspect she really doesn’t care a whit about Trump, Cruz or anybody else except for herself. She’s out to sell her books and keep her name before the public. Just about any kind of outrageousness will do. She would turn on a dime to dump Trump if that action would increase her book sales or TV contracts.

I think Ann’s shtick is basically a manifestation of the same celebrity culture that worships people who are famous for being famous — except that she hasn’t yet achieved the same level of fame as have the Kardashians and the Trumps.

Someone a few days back was arguing that Trump was a business magnate, that's why he's famous -- he builds big buildings and golf courses, he's accomplished a lot! Of course Americans know him!

The truth is that Americans know who Trump is because of celebrity media, because he toots his own horn, because of television and the Apprentice -- "You're fired."

He's refreshingly politically incorrect, he gratifies peoples' anger. He's charming, he's a patriot, he's sincere. And his fundamental political philosophy is ... zip. All over the board. A crap shoot. He's a celebrity.

I am sad to say he is Arnold on a national scale. Hey, Arnold could win! In fact, he did! And now we have Jerry Brown.

I'll vote for what I want to win. I'll vote for Cruz.
