You mean the same Clintons that Trump is buddies with and gives political donations? The Clinton Crime family Foundation that Trump gives donations to?

"The Trump divorce was messy but I don't remember tabloid stories about Ivana’s breast implants."

I don't remember a thing about it. To me, he was just an irrelevant blowhard. Now he's a relevant blowhard.

Mona, you haven’t been laid in decades and you’re just envious.

The 90s were a trying time for Donald. He had lost all that his father and he had built, due to forces beyond his control (the Bush influenced S&L scandal). He was off-course, misguided, rudderless and profligate, and wondering how it was that he had made all the right decisions and yet watched all the wrong things happen.

So he fell into darkness.

Then he pulled himself together and remembering the inspiring sermons of his pastor Norman Vincent Peale, he vowed to take back his heritage, his wealth, his dignity, and he did so. He regrouped and expanded his fortune beyond anything he had achieved before and made it stronger against forces to come.

As to his wives and family, HE TOOK GREAT CARE OF EVERY LAST FAMILY MEMBER. He made sure he paid for their vitality and futures, this is how he redeemed himself; took care of them so much that to this day they adore him and respect him as the head of the family.

So Mona, you’ve done great exposés in your writings of certain prominent persons of our era but you fail miserably to grasp the rise and fall and rise of a great man, Donald Trump. You are great at criticism but fail to see the human condition and a spirit of contrition. Your view of humanity is incomplete and one-sided. You can do better but your jealousy restrains you from doing justice.

Donald has returned to the values of his heritage. He is now with us and we are with him. May God continue to protect and guide him.

Give it a rest, Mona. With all the scummy people we have (and have had) to endure in power over us, I think we will survive the flawed Donald Trump should he become president. People want him because they believe he will build up America and Americans.

Way to start off a defense of Trump’s character.

Clipping news photos and circling the hands-—I LOL’ed at that.
Seems more insecure than narcissistic to me. And in a way morbidly amusing. The man is flawed, and undeniably human.
On the bright side, seeming overly concerned with his own manhood, and extrapolating that to a concern with America’s manhood in the world at large, is oddly refreshing in this day, when Obama’s minions are hell-bent on emasculating us and bringing us to our knees.

But voters are venturing way out on a plank with Trump -- and I'm not speaking here of the fact that he is overwhelmingly likely to lose to Hillary Clinton if he's the Republican nominee. No, I'm referring to the copious evidence that if he won, he could cause catastrophic damage to the country.

Donald Trump is not emotionally healthy. No normal man sits up late at night tweeting dozens of insults about Megyn Kelly, or skips a key debate because he's nursing a grudge against her for asking perfectly ordinary questions, or continues to obsess about her weeks and months after the fact.

Trump's unfavorables -- highest ever recorded for any GOP or Dem candidate since Gallup started polling in '92 -- are consistently north of 60 percent, and even climbing in some recent polls.

At least Trump's script writers -- witness yesterday's AIPAC address -- are smart enough to be telling him to flip-flop to a position on Israel that Ted Cruz has held from the beginning:

Dec. 3, 2015: "Donald Trump drew a few rare boos toward the end of his appearance at Thursday's Republican Jewish Coalition candidate forum, after refusing to say that Jerusalem should be the undivided and recognized capital of Israel."

Trump’s AIPAC speech yesterday: U.S. should recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s undivided capital.

Jimmy Carter's endorsement of Trump did mention DT's malleability, after all.

Hi Mona.

I hope you see this. (For some reason I am not able to log in at townhall.com.

I know that you are at least reasonably observant, so you know about King David. He wasn't always a nice guy either, but he was the right leader for Israel. Leadership ability trumps niceness, and Donald Trump has that leadership ability. He clearly understands the problems our country faces. We've had enough career politicians. Hank Rearden put his name on the top of his factory also.

I had a hamburger for lunch, and going to get beer after work, if that counts for something, I’m not sure, but it sure sounds like a plan to me!

It’s funny and irritating to watch, all at the same time.

It’s like this campaign (and not Trump only, but he has a bunch) is one long “Hold my Beer” moment.

or gotten banned when you finally tell the truth and state you will not support a nominated Trump under any circumstance.


Why one earth would this get you banned from FR? I will gladly vote for Trump over any Dem in a heartbeat. That does not mean I believe Trump is a conservative. He isn’t He never was. FR is a conservative meeting place for like minded individuals.

So now I am at work, thinking that I may have gone a beer too far last night!
Love my job, but I am looking forward to the end of the day!
Stayed up too late waiting on the Utah results to come in.
I didn’t hear any by midnight, so I went off to bed.
Still, the Beer and bacon/jalapeno/cheeseburger was excellent.LOL
