Hi GBUSA! I had finally reached a point where I didn't think about the loon very often, now this. I keep recalling my instinctive reaction the first time I ever saw him. I had no knowledge of his existance before he announced he was running for president. That day I heard him speaking and a cold chill ran down my spine. He was the epitome of the "slick but obvious" bubbas that I had grown up with in the South. I could hardly believe what I was seeing. I recall joking, "He can't be serious can he? Nobody is going to be fooled by that used car salesman." Famous last words I guess. I couldn't believe that he got elected and was sure that people would begin to see what he was. They didn't. I think that is the worst thing for me to handle; the fact that there are that many gullible people in America. It scares me to death that people can't see through someone that transparently phony. He is the ultimate con.
Hi Nan, I remember seeing him for the first time too. Like you I had that same chilling feeling. I didn't think he could pull it off. Especially after, Jennifer Flowers etc. Like you, I couldn't believe so many could be fooled by him. I can't believe, after all said and done, some still are. I think of his background, who he is and how he actually could and did become President, scary. And living in NY -- I thought, there are so many liberals here but never will the witch win. How disappointed I was that I was wrong.
Golly, I had the very same reaction.
