Brackite I liked your post which just makes me think and state again it is an entertaining comedy to watch.

Too bad Jerry Falwell died. Is Pat Robertson still available?

Is Trump still on speaking terms with Omarosa? She is way smarter than Sarah Palin.

In Sunday's interview on CNN, Trump also detailed what he'd look for in a vice presidential nominee, saying he'd want someone with "a little bit of an inside track" to getting legislation approved by Congress -- an indication Trump could pick a current politician.

"Conceptually, I like the idea of a political person to go along with my abilities," he said.

That's how we got George W. Bush. He was supposed to bring the adults like Dick Cheney with him.

You'd have to back to the Democrats in '68 to find a convention that was more divided than the Republicans will be. And in '68, no one questioned whether Hubert Humphrey was a Democrat, just whether he deserved the nomination.

Trump is a whole new ballgame. They called Ronald Reagan the Teflon President. Pshaw. Donald Trump is made out of graphene-based super Teflon. From John McCain to Mexican Rapists, making fun of the disabled, saying he'd like to punch protesters in the face and his initial refusal to disown the endorsement of David Duke, claiming he didn't know who he was. (Which by the way is a patent falsehood.)

The normal rules do not apply to Donald Trump. It's going to be very interesting to see who gets in line behind him. Chris Christie has, and so has Jeff Sessions. But there has been fallout. HP Executive Meg Whitman, former GOP candidate for Governor of California and National Co-chair of the Christie Campaign, called Christie's decision "an astonishing display of political opportunism."

What will Donald Trump do the Republican Party, and what will the GOP do to Trump? It's go to be very interesting to watch.

VERY Interesting. :biggrin: If it wasn't so serious I'd be laughing. I honestly fear for my country.

I think that's pretty common right now, from people on all sides of the political spectrum. This election is shaping up to be a no-win situation. If it's Trump and Hillary, who is the lesser evil?

I have voted in several elections in my lifetime and I have felt that every one of my decisions has been a choice of the lesser of two evils.
