New Hampshire paper: Trump like Biff from 'Back to the Future'
CNN ^ | 12-28-15 | Deena Zaru

Posted on 12/28/2015 7:10:16 AM PST by Gandalf the Mauve

Donald Trump, the publisher of the influential New Hampshire Union Leader printed an editorial slamming the Republican presidential front-runner's "public descent into bathroom humor," and revived the comparison to Biff Tannen from the "Back to the Future" movies.

"Lo and behold, the screenwriter says that he based Biff on Trump," Joseph McQuaid writes, ahead of the billionaire businessman's Nashua event. "On Feb. 9, we trust New Hampshire Republicans will send 'Biff Trump' back to somewhere — anywhere but on the road to the most important elective office in the United States at a most crucial time for this nation."...

The GOP Establishment hacks are getting desperate (but still not serious).

Note that this paper endorsed Chris "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" Christie, who resembles Biff Tannen (after a few too many all-you-can-eat buffets) far more than anybody else in the race.

What I remember from those movies is that the ‘grown up’ Biff sexually assaulted his wife. Sexual assault sounds more consistent with the husband of one of the other candidates..

All of these desperate articles work as a Trump GOTV article.

The more they squeal, the more we like it!

As long as we are on movies, Bernie looks like Emperor Palpatine and Hillary is like every evil queen/stepmother/witch in every movie ever!

So there!

Oh, bull crap. Thirty years ago Trump was not into politics at all, so trying to shoe-horn him into a 30 year old movie for today’s political situation is trying to get face time in the media and sell a few more movie CD’s.

The media says over and over:

We Hate Trump
We Hate Trump
We Hate Trump

And the people, who mostly hate the media, can’t but draw an obvious conclusion.

Soviet Red Hampshire is an asylum of RINO’s, radical democrat feminists and ‘Weed State’ potheads.

How puerile is this criticism?

The playground fighters will not address the issues but rely on childish tactics.

The best one is “But will all those Trump supporters show up at the Polls?”.

It's stunning that these media outlets don't see how they're embarrassing themselves with articles like this.

Snopes.com says that the screenwriter never made this claim before and suggests he’s lying.

LOLOL...Biff??? I remember when they started calling John Elway ‘Biff’ then the fans wrote the Denver Post and had a hay day with it, they turned around and then started calling him “True Grit” and other John Wayne movie names...

The media is just trying to get their ‘10 seconds’ in the spotlight, it's the only tiny bit of ‘prize’ they can muster, they don't have anything else in their lives, they live, eat, breath the news room day in and day out, 24/7 trying their hardest to get a ‘top story’ and no one is listening or reading...

We are so on to them, we laugh at their articles, and then line our dog pens with their papers, or our bird cages, or use the paper to wrap up the fish bones and toss it into the garbage to be recycled for yet again another trip to the garbage...

We don't care what they say about Trump, our minds are made up, we go to his yuge rallies to talk to other supporters, to hear his message, and to yell and scream and clap and then go home and feel like an American again....
