No. I just posted some comments re: Bush from her.
I’m not convinced some of those other entities were hawking Bush either, but Michelle is the flagrant one >IMO.
Amen!! Our Lord does move in mysterious ways we might not understand but we still have faith in Him.
Michelle doesn’t support Bush but she definitely doesn’t like Trump.
Yes he does and yes we do.
I do!
In 100 days, Trump and his group of 35 advisers have faced down the GOPe, MSM, Fox, K-Street, Super PACS and assorted dims, lefties, progressives and communists.
BTTT
WHY WOULD WE ELECT PRESIDENT A GUY WHO...?
Why would this country elect as president some guy who was known to regale friends with nigger* jokes, had a history of depression, was suicidal from time to time (in his defense, probably due to the death of his young son, but suicidal nonetheless) and eventually started an internecine war that took the lives of over 700,000 troops and civilians and...
What? Oh, yeah. That was LINCOLN! never mind!
* A corruption of another word now freely used by blacks around the world when referring to one another. To NOT have written the word here would be to accord the dark forces of political correctness an inappropriate and destructive victory of which Orwell’s Thought Police would be proud.
Why would we elect president some guy who was not healthy and smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day, married his fifth cousin then had a notorious affair with his secretary and...
What? Oh, sorry, that was FDR!
And why would the American people put in the Oval Office a man who, while overseas running the war in Europe another 3 pack-a-day smoker who was schtupping his secretary while his wife was back here tending to the family and...
Oh, sorry. That was Republican DWIGHT EISENHOWER. Moving on...
How about another Democrat who, to his credit served honorably in the Pacific but DID manage to get his PT boat sliced in half by a Japanese destroyer but redeemed himself by getting his crew rescued. Running against Nixon in the 1960 race, this same married chap, whose handlers thought he was a bit “tense” before the first televised debate, took him out and got him laid. (That certainly relaxed him as he won the debate.) Once in office, this fellow had numerous extramarital affairs with mob molls and several Hollywood stars, Marilyn Monroe among them and...
Oh yeah. That was JFK. never mind.
(For an interesting aside re. that event and the role a leftist media type played in that debate, please see the footnote below. If you’ve watched the current debates, you understand that THEY STILL DO.)
And then there was this character from Texas who, after his friends counted the ballots and reported him barely ahead in a close race for the Senate, was shocked – just shocked –that the very night before the recount, would you believe it? — the courthouse burned down, destroying the ballots! Like Lincoln, “nigger” was a regular part of his crude vocabulary. This fellow was a notorious womanizer and drunk whose favorite technique for reprimanding errant subordinates was to call them into the lavatory while he moved his bowels. Classy, huh?
Then he...What? You say that was LBJ? never mind.
How in the WORLD could we elect to the presidency some guy who was a 60s socialist radical, later married one even more radical than himself, wangled multiple deferments from MILITARY SERVICE while other kids his age were humping through the bush in Vietnam dodging bullets and who was a woman abuser and engaged in sexual misconduct in the Oval Office with a young intern then, under oath, perjured himself about it and...
What? Oh, right, that was BILL CLINTON! never mind!
But why the heck would we elect some guy raised by grandparents and some pornographer — all three of whom were on FBI “Communist Watch” lists in the 50s and 60s (back when the FBI actually did its job of trying to protect US) – and whose mother posed nude for the pornographer before abandoning him and who has openly admitted to have been – and probably still is – a pot head and user of harder illegal substances and whose every action bespeaks a hatred for the nation he allegedly heads...
What? Oh, right. That’s BARACK OBAMA! never mind!
I haven’t researched all the other folks we elevated to the highest elected office in this country. If I did, I’m sure I’d find warts and blemishes on ALL OF THEM. And why would that be? BECAUSE, LIKE YOU AND ME, THEY’RE ALL IMPERFECT HUMAN BEINGS AND ALL FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY.
Until some leftist “journalist” comes up with a fully documented list of reprehensible things MY candidate – who doesn’t drink or smoke and has raised his kids to be responsible, successful adults – has done to other folks, I’ll stick with TRUMP. And until these same media mavens provide me with a list of associates, friends, employees, clients and others he has screwed over and, further, convince me that he is attempting to prevaricate his way into the presidency (as the last guy did!) or that his profession of LOVE for America is as egregious a lie as the last guy told us, I’LL HANG IN THERE WITH TRUMP.
But my support for The Donald is based more on how the current crop (or is that crAp) of political elites and their media lapdogs and handmaidens are GOING NUTS because he is articulating problems in terms WE USE IN OUR CONVERSATIONS OUT HERE IN “FLYOVER COUNTRY”, AND NOT TALKING ABOUT HOW BEST TO ARRANGE THE DECK CHAIRS ON THE FOUNDERING SHIP CALLED “AMERICA”.
Because the entrenched forces he faces have a 3 way program for dealing with outsiders (1. IGNORE; 2. DISCREDIT; 3. ELIMINATE), all we have to do is pray he REMAINS ABOVE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE through the debates, the election and, hopefully, on to January 20th, 2017 and an inauguration.

FOOTNOTE:
The 1960 Nixon-Kennedy Debates were directed by one Don Hewitt, creator of CBS’ “60 Minutes”. Hewitt told Nixon, who had a serious “5 O’clock Shadow” (beard, for you youngsters not familiar with that phrase) that he didn’t need to shave just prior to the program. Hewitt then directed the studio lighting to flatter Kennedy while arranging Nixon’s to make him look like an extra from “The Walking Dead”. Not satisfied, Hewitt slowly tightened the shot each time Nixon spoke so that his head loomed and filled the entire screen on TV sets all over the country. And as we all know, things that “loom” are clearly dangerous and should be avoided. The voters did so and, as we all know, Kennedy won.
I need to add that, warts and all, Kennedy did a pretty good job. While he got it completely wrong at the Bay of Pigs, he defused the Cuban Missile show down with the Soviets. And he was moving in the direction of unhooking our monetary system from the Fed (to which we PAY INTEREST on the currency they create from THIN AIR!), had begun speaking out about lowering taxes and getting us out of Vietnam. Some of us believe that’s why some folks blew off the top of his head on November 22, 1963. As with so many events like these, we may never know the truth.
In another election year, I could easily see myself joining Michelle and her opinion.
We don’t have time to screw around with another RINO being nominated. Now while folks can easily find things that spell RINO in Trump’s record, he’s not hawking Leftist policy now.
He can get elected. He can pull someone in like Cruz, the moderation effect similar to Palin.
I don’t know what else to do folks.
We now have a scandal that may take Cruz out. It’s premature to suggest, but who knows?
What if we get down to a Bush vs Clinton or Sanders?
Trump has his problems. Tell me who doesn’t.
I’m telling folks right now, if it’s not Trump, we don’t get Cruz.
We get Bush, Rubio, Christie, or FiaRINO.
I’m not sure what Michelle would suggest as an alternative to Trump, when we know what Democrat and Republican Moderate voters nominate for us every four years.
We’re at 19 Trillion bucks in debt, and climbing.
Trump is the only guy that actually talks about paying it off.
He gets it.
Re Malkin…
The girl can carry a grudge….
Yes. Fox is less shrill, less partisan, and leaves out fewer important details. More Republicans watch Fox than the others, whether you think one thing or another about the network - few watch the others as they present the exact same news with the same pundits as CBSABCNBC. But of course, as with all Trumpeters, you have missed the point.
There is no doubt in my mind that Trump does not have all the answers. But as a leader I believe he will select some of the best conservative Constitutionalists minds in America for advice. A real leader will never be like King Obama who thinks his way is the only way and fire anyone that has the real answers. The success of Trump in business was that he chose good men and women to carry his ideas to accomplishment like a real leader and businessman. That is why I believe in Trump. Trump for President.
Bump - great article!
There is one more thing Trump could add to his speeches.
Something that would draw the audience/ voters in.
Suggest to the audience to aim to be the best they can be to help America become great again.
—sort of like what JFK did in that line - don’t ask what your country can do for you; ask what can you do for your country.
Wow. THAT is great stuff!
Bravo!
....and La Raza
If your talking about his PAC’s donation to Carly. It has nothing at all to do with Cruz.
FOX isn’t any better than the others.
They are ALL media shills who try to pick our candidates for us and have done a pretty good job of it in the past.
What you desperate Trump bashers refuse to acknowledge is that without Trump you would be looking at a ballot with two names on it in 2016. Bush and Clinton.
I am sick to death of you and the others who come on FR day after day attacking a man who is giving up his comfortable life, his money, and his good name to fight for you ungrateful so called “conservatives”
McConnell and Boehner
On the legislative side John Boehner and Mitch McConnell have worked earnestly to ensure Obamacare is never removed, the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal (Fast Track) is structured to ensure passage -and destruction of the middle class- with 51 yea votes; and providing Iran with nuclear weapons is similarly fast-tracked using the same legislative threshold.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Trade Deal is NOT the "Fast Track" legislation. See post #53 above for detailed explanation.
I agree. Like Cruz and Palin.
