I remember very well the 1980 campaign and how Reagan was perceived as a laughingstock and a buffoon during it. Establishment Republicans were horrified at the prospects of having him as their nominee.
I certainly hope that Trump emphasizes his presidential side when he emerges from his break. Like you, I believe that the real Donald Trump is much more substantial (and kinder and thoughtful) than his public persona makes him out to be. He wouldn't be the success that he is otherwise. I believe his earlier antics were calculated to keep him in the news cycle to distinguish him from the other 17 candidates and also to minimize the amount of money he'd have to put out of pocket. I also think that for a time, he was looking past the nomination and focusing on the general. If so, that was a tactical mistake as it allowed Cruz to keep it closer than it should have been.
Winning the Wisconsin primary decisively will pretty much eliminate Cruz and Trump needs to focus on that. It won't be easy but it can be done. So I hope we see a lot of Wisconsin-based activity from Trump in the days ahead!
Think you are correct. Strategy planning. Getting good people in place. Making a lot of contacts
Sealing some deals for the campaign.
It annoys me with talk about his "connections" with NE owner/editor
Good grief, DJT KNOWS and likes (and is liked) by myriads of people in all walks of life and due to his financial and business prowess he will be aligned with powerful people around the world.
What a beautiful graphic, Dolly. A blessed Easter to you, as well!
Good for you that is awesome. The reason I went into child care I wasn’t letting anyone take care of my boy’s but wanted to do something so that was my answer to being with my boy’s.
AS you know, The Greek are as Christian as they come, but some years the Orthodox Easter falls on a different date based on the Jewish Passover and the full moon of the Equinox etc. It’s thought to be the true Easter, and it would be good, if ALL Christians world wide celebrated on the same day.
Greek Easter is May 1. Cracking the red eggs, lamb etc.
Big Fat Greek Wedding II is supposedly a flop. 25% on the Rotton Tomatoes scales.
I’m sure Nina Vardelos got a lot of rich Greeks to each kick several 100K with the idea of making money. This money sounds like garbage.
I met a few years ago, unfortunately soon after the first movie. I’m a playwright. I wrote an award winning play called The Bed. I met her at a party and suggested that she the story would be perfect for her and her husband to do. She pushed me off to some agent, and I never heard back from her.
BTW, you can read The Bed for a couple bucks at Amazon

At this point it doesn’t have to be true, for those children the damage is done and all over the net, the net is forever...
Sorry about the typos in that last post.

can we get a real book also? Amazon? I can look later. I have a lot on my electronic stash (which I rarely read) Been working on Matt Brackens work for many months. Just pull it out on rare occasions. Usually always have a real book in my purse
That’s the Clinton strategy. You push a false hood until it’s believed.
The thing that upsets me is that Trump is getting the blame.
THe MSM really have this locked up in many ways. For example, I have a clear distinction that Cruz is going to win Wisconsin big, and the MSM are poised to make it the headlines for weeks.
Thanks DC (I’m DC also)..
Later will put it on my Facebook page.
No :-( It’s only around 100 pages, and can be ready in probably less than two hours. It’s available on Kindle, iPhone etc.
Maybe we should have a contest. The first 10 emails privately sent to me will get free copies, providing that you leave a review. I hate promoting my own stuff.
Speaking of movies, I went to see Sally Fields in My Name is Doris. IT was a cutesy movie. Wish it had pierced the envelope a little. I think it’s your senior citizen version of Gidget goes Hawaiian.
I have read all of this mess and if it is not true cruz needs to sue yesterday....I don’t care about the sex thing..I do care about cruz response about the rats, WHO thinks like that and says it to the world...mind blowing...
Happy Easter, everyone!
I hope you have a wonderful day!
Whoever has OANN keep us posted...
Don’t miss @KatrinaPierson set the record straight on #CruzSexScandal tonight at 10pm ET on @OANN! (Plus, we talk Trump rally violence.)
I just read some of the postings by Roger Stone, whoever he is, and some of the commentary following. It sounds pretty damaging.
You have to be a little leery with politicians that really promote their Christian faith to the point of being artificial about it.
We’re beginning to see a pattern here, or at least the start of one. He’s deceitful about his citizenship, and his behavior during the Iowa voting. Then you have the video out there of him as a young man, wanting to rule the world and reference to being a super stud.
Then there’s all the GOPe that despise him. Why?
Cruz and Rubio, and all of them frankly seem to be good people, but they are not ready to run this country. We’re not going to have another freshman senator for president.
Happy Resurrection Day!
Prime rib just going in the oven, then will be covered with sauteed mushrooms, mashed garlic potatoes with fresh parsley, gravy with red wine, mixed greens, peppers and sliced kalamata olives salad, corn, grilled asparagus. I was lazy for dessert - 5 different luxury ice-creams with various dark chocolate bars.
HE IS RISEN!!!!!!
Blessed Resurrection Sunday to ALL!
