the perfect manifestation of a stereotypical American — a loud, obnoxious buffoon

This is what the author thinks about the average American, a loud, obnoxious buffoon.

Well, maybe I am a little loud, and I try hard to be obnoxious, but I take umbrage with the buffoon label.

Why not give us all an update on Scotty’s daring 10 county bike ride through NH? The excitement is killing me. LOL!

If Cruz isn’t at the top of the ticket, I would prefer him to remain in the Senate where he can actually do some good.

I would LOVE to see Cruz as Majority Leader.

The effete effeminate urban poofters at saloon dot com are pooping their pants.

Fluffy bunnies and pretty butterflies are cavorting in the sunny meadow.

Fish are swimming in the sea.

Trump would get things done now not in a few years like the rest of the lineup.

Walker: Jan. 3, 2011 Assumed office

Jan 3, 2011 Signed Wis up for the states' Obamacare Lawsuit.

June 3, 2011, Revoked instate tuition for illegals [ONLY gov/state that has], lowered taxes, eliminated over a THOUSAND state positions, "attacked" unions (collective bargaining), was targeted for recall......

I know. The point is it’s a liberal rag saying that. Typical tar baby stuff from their perspective. “Please, throw us Trump.”

Well, I just knew Gov. Walker would begin to catch your eye.

: )

He’s doing a 10 county ride and meet Sunday and Monday through New Hampshire.

As we chit chat, he’s in his second day of a 3 day swing through Texas.

There is at least a kernel of truth to the article. The Huckster scares the poo-poo out of me too...

Frankly I find the whole thing to be odd.

FReepers said the Media gives John McCain all the coverage because they want him to be the nominee.

FReepers said the media gives Mitt Romney all the coverage because they want him to be the nominee.

FReepers say the media gives Trump all the coverage because they don’t want him to be the nominee.

?


A valid point. The media has been bringin out more of the big guns to take on Trump than we usually see. I think right now the media is doing everything they can to avoid talking about Ted Cruz, Clinton, or the abortion videos. The rolling Trump side-show is a good way to do that.

They give Trump all the coverage because they can’t help themselves.

Like the stock market, Trump 2016 seems to be based on a bubble of irrational emotions — in this case fear

Dear God, I hate liberals.

I agree partly but here is where I feel folks are not seeing the bigger picture. I repeatedly hear how Trump has donated here or Trump has donated there. If you look he has donated across both aisles and yes mainly Democrat. However you’d swear anyone that makes a pint in this has ever spent a single second in big business or making money on a large scale. Look at the states in which he operates. NYC, NJ, VEGAS, CA. see a pattern? Yes, they have been, are, and always will be heavy blue states from now till God knows when. So what does a business savvy man like Trump do to capitilze and maximize his profits? You got it, he donates, rubs elbows with and says glowing things about the dominant party while also filling coffers of the opposing party. What is his true heart? I don’t think anyone really knows. But I can tell you this, he is running as a Republican because he sees the country being flushed down the tubes fiscally.

All I did was yawn.

As usual, you sure are touchy.

Not even close. If Walker had elevated his Wisconsin handlers to his national campaign he might be doing better. Clearly somebody has to tell him what to say and when.

Within his constitutional constraints?

“FReepers say the media gives Trump all the coverage because they don’t want him to be the nominee.”

Maybe they think if they give him enough rope he’ll hang himself?

Personally, I think he gets the time because he gets the ratings, and even those who don’t like him are fascinated by him. My liberal son (Sorry about that!) watched some YouTube videos about Trump and laughed—in a good way—and did not seem negative about him at all. But, who knows, we don’t talk politics.

"....At the time, real estate magnate was considering running for president as a member of the Reform Party [1999]. Asked by CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer if he’d “given some thought to a potential Trump Cabinet,” Trump mentioned Rangel as his top choice to lead HUD.

“Well, let’s go — like HUD,” Trump said. “I think Charlie Rangel is a terrific guy. He’s a congressman from New York. He has been a powerful guy. Now the Democrats are not in power, but I think he’d be terrific at HUD.”

Other Trump Cabinet picks would have included Colin Powell as secretary of state and General Electric CEO Jack Welch as treasury secretary. Trump said that John McCain would be “a very interesting candidate” for secretary of defense." Source
