So what's going to happen when Trump's wife starts to talk to the brain dead tonight and they cannot

[RGinNJ]

understand her accent.

[840high]

1. If I can understand her

so can they.

[RGinNJ]

3. But they'll figure out that she is foreign.

[yeoman6987]

7. Oh brother. Really?????

[Hortensis]

14. It may make a BIG difference in November for

xenophobes bigoted against people with accents. Most people vote emotionally, and a very large bloc of the social conservatives Trump is depending on will be viscerally opposed to a first lady with an accent. She also looks nothing like a first lady "should."

My guess is Melania's accent may just be a bigger handicap for Trump for some of his social conservatives than the mental disorder, profound ignorance, shocking amorality, and extreme incompetence that they refuse to acknowledge all put together.

[840high]

9. And?

[PatSeg]

31. Yeah, well they make exceptions

for beautiful women.

[Va Lefty]

2. Doesn't matter

She's white and not a Clinton.

[TheBlackAdder]

30. The hiked-up dress, 5" heels, and big smile will keep them distracted from whatever she says.

[onehandle]

4. From one of my favorite Murphy Browns.

Murphy to a Russian journalist who has just insulted her:

Murphy: Oh yeah? Well I can't take ANYTHING you say seriously with that stupid accent. You sound like you should be "plottink beeg trabble for moose and skvirrel"!

[hamsterjill]

5. Oh now THAT made me giggle.

I loved Murphy!!

Thanks for the laugh.

[PatSeg]

15. Oh I miss Murphy Brown

She would have a field day with what is going on today!

[Hortensis]

16. That WAS wonderful, laughing just remembering.

Thanks.

[applegrove]

6. How many times will she say the word "elegant"?

[WhiteTara]

8. They are just supposed to stare

at her body and wish that she was theirs?

[underpants]

10. BINGO!! Thread winner

[Hortensis]

18. Boy, that's not going to happen.

Melania doesn't look or sound like a first lady should, not like any of their friends or anyone in their church congregations, and they may try to womp up some loyal admiration, but it's going to stew.

We're talking about people who tend to varying degrees see the world in terms of "us" and "them."

[WhiteTara]

19. In Drumpf's world, that is the only thing

a woman is good for...to be oogled and sexually desired. We're talking RightWingers here so you may be wrong that they aren't going to think she is an object of desire. Her augmented breasts don't do much for me, they look hard and unnatural, but the men there are probably going to think they are great, especially if she wears clothes that emphasize them.

[Hortensis]

21. I'm not talking about desire, though, but rather

whether she fits the definition of "us" for a personality type that is naturally suspicious and hostile toward the "thems" of the world. All the negatives we take in add up to our feelings. Which conservatives will which negatives add up enough for, and why, to keep them home on voting day?

I think Melania is overall another negative on a big pile and that's why we've seen and heard so little from her.

[Angry Dragon]

25. You win a trip to the RNC

[WhiteTara]

26. Oh NO! I take back everything

I said just to get out of that punishment!

[misterhighwasted]

11. They'll be too wrapped up in imagining her scantily clothed model pics to listen to what she's sayin

Afterall the RNC platform is anti-porn.

They'll be frothing over in their own drool

[Sheepshank]

34. They are going to have to square her nakkie pics with the new platform....but how will they do that?

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. Only a wardrobe malfunction could bail her borefest out.

[LeftRant]

13. I saw one of her interviews and was impressed.

She was well-spoken and didn't say anything stupid. It made me think she is using him as much as he is her.

But how she's going to relate to the average Trump voter (other than by being hot), I have no idea.

[glennward]

17. They hate a Spanish accent. Her's will be ok with them even though they will not understand her. n

[Hortensis]

22. Truth in that. Some who loathe Hispanic, Middle Eastern,

India/Pakistan, Chinese/Far East accents will give Middle Europe more of a pass. One guess why.

[Peregrine Took]

20. I bet she shows his "softer" side - the kind and loving husband (of many) and dad...

like that uber brilliant video that Oprah showed of "W" when he was running against Gore.

I don't know who put it together, Oprah or Bush but it was incredible.
He and Laura walking hand in hand on the ranch, him bringing her coffee in bed, carrying the twins to her in the morning - one for each of them! That is Manafort's goal I'm pretty sure but I don't know if Mel can carry it off as I can't imagine many American women identifying with her in any way.

Will she wear a Rethuglican shirtwaist dress and black flats, tone down the hair and makeup, give us a little of that "poor little foreigner" who Trumpie just happened to drool over when he got a gander at her back in her pinup girl days? Whatever....she better pull it off of her "darling" might not like it.

[KMOD]

23. She's probably going to be subjected

to cat-calls.

[RGinNJ]

24. That sounds about right.

[PJMcK]

27. This thread sucks

With all of the issues that we can attack Donald Trump with, some of us are going after his wife? Please behave like adults. There are so many things we can criticize Mr. Trump for. Leave his wife alone.

By the way, Donald Trump is an idiot.

[RGinNJ]

32. Sorry I was not trying to disparage his wife, I simply do not think the RWNJ's can handle anything

foreign.

[PJMcK]

33. Fair enough

Let's target the real enemies!

[no_hypocrisy]

28. All I can say is "Good luck tonight, Professor Higgins".

[louis-t]

29. Oh, they don't care, it will be mostly catcalls and wolf whistles.

They'll just think she's Eva Gabor from Green Acres.

[calguy]

35. They'll love her pole dancing skills

Who needs words?
