Don Rickles is my favorite comedian of all time.

” He’s tapped into a hunger among those who want to believe that America is not a shrinking, stumbling power passed like a pepper mill between two entitled families.”

“Don Rickles is my favorite comedian of all time.”

I love Don Rickles! I was just thinking about him last week during a walk, and thought that when he dies, I'd love to go near his funeral, or thereabouts, to pay homage to him. A funny, in your face, completely un-PC, old school comedian, that is certainly missed this day and age. It would be refreshing to see another one like him one day, but alas, probably not possible.

The Donald’s strange pompadour and Hillary’s strange server have eclipsed all the usual primary permutations.

I can't imagine someone being stupid enough to put those two things in the same sentence. What strange things to couple...

One was a crime, endangering our nation. The other is a simple hairstyle.

Is Trumps hair now a crime, or are Hillary's criminal acts now no more important than a hair style?

Maureen, this is beyond the normal idiocy even for you.

Considering the thousands of hours that Trump has spent negotiating deals in business, I think he would be a great choice for dealing with Korea. What experience did Obama have? None.

Because Trump is so loud, omnipresent, multiplatform and cutting, he’s shaping the perception of the other candidates. Once he blurts out the obvious — Jeb is low energy, Hillary is shifty, Mitt choked, and the NY Times is full of has-been, liberal hacks like Ms. Dowd — some voters nod their heads and start to see his targets in that unflattering light as well....

You sure post a lot of hit pieces. But I must admit they seem to become more humorous all the time.☺

Unlike Donald Trump, Barack Obama got our entry into Iraq right for all the wrong reasons. What were the wrong reasons that prompted Barack Obama to oppose the Iraq war? His leftist ideology which impels him to deny America as a superpower and render it into the very thing that Maureen Dowd claims it is, "a shrinking, stumbling power." Nothing reveals how wrong was Obama's ideology about the Iraqi War and America's proper place in the world more than his mismanagement of America's exit from Iraq. On this occasion, Obama was wrong for all the wrong reasons.

Dowd wants to reduce every historic occasion to pop culture, she would be happiest when she can define the presidential race as Hillary's hairstyle versus Trump's pompadour. From that is easy to denigrate the people who would choose the pompadour over the hairstyle as she has, for example, by describing America's yearning for a strongman.

Donald Trump was right about the Iraqi war and for all the right reasons. His objections to the war were of the kind never to cross the mind of a "strongman." He started his analysis with an assessment of our national interest, probable success, cost, and concluded with downside risk. In other words he thought the removal of the real "strongman" in the picture, Saddam Hussein, would unleash malevolent forces often described as unintended consequences. He looked at the costs and thought that it would be frightful and thought that at least we ought to be compensated by obtaining the oil in exchange for blood and treasure, and the points out today that instead Isis and Iran are grabbing the oil and the power.

Dowd would have us believe that Obama is the reasoned statesman and Trump the loose cannon but the facts show that Trump can point, like Winston Churchill, to his warnings at the time of going to war which have been so "terribly vindicated" and he can point to the reasons which hardly are the kind one expects from a strongman. I do not put Trump in the same category as Churchill, but I do say he had it right and he said it right at the time. That hardly supports the image of a loose cannon or an empty head topped by a pompadour.

We have never seen Obama act to defend his ideology as commander-in-chief. That is not to be confused with his duty as Commander-in-Chief to protect the nation, that conception is entirely different from his ideological worldview. I believe that if and when Obama's ideology is directly challenged he will not hesitate to deploy the power of the United States to the hilt. An ideologue is easily the strongman, if he can.

We did not elect Brack Obama because he was deliberate while the Bush administration was precipitous, we elected Barack Obama because of the color of his skin, and the content of his party affiliation.

Maureen Dowd hates Trump's politics so she distorts his record and points to his pompadour. There is much in Trump's record to criticize from the right but there is no justice in criticizing Trump when he got it right for the right reasons.

The stench of fear is very strong in the political class.

It’s mind-boggling to contemplate a President Trump trying to make peace between North and South Korea

Do you have a mind, Maureen?

Is it "mind-boggling" that Bathhouse Barry gives Khamenei the bomb, the green light to attack Israel, and a hundred billion to continue fomenting terrorism?

Maureen Dowd is dowdy, unfashionable, drab--and a perennial whiner.

Trump is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored.

Maureen is yesterday's papers.

...It’s mind-boggling to contemplate a President Trump trying to make peace between North and South Korea..

For generations, people will be in awe as to how Trump brought lasting peace to the peninsula, in under 48 hours

-——all the usual primary permutations-——

there is the essence of the pros.....politicos and media

they are unable to play the new game because it is only now dawning that there is infact a new game and they don’t know any of the rules. They don’t even understand much about the fact the game is different.

Anyone delving into the past to drag up some obscure bon mot is shown to be an irrelevant fool. Judging the future by the past just doesn’t work this time

trump brought immigration to the forefront, told the GOPe and the media to go to hell.

No matter what happens I will always be grateful to Trump for that.
