Is Donald Trump Capable of Using a Vulgar Slur in a Debate?
Is their a chance that he could use the "B" word, or, even the "C" word in a flustered response to Hillary during the nationally televised debates?
This is not a joke. I really think it is possible. His numbers could sink into the low thirties if that happens. I'm not saying that it's probable, just possible.
Here's My Question, Where the Hell is Christie, Perry, Carson, Gingrich et all.
Could it be that Donald Trump has gone too far, even for these creeps?
The elected and former elected Republicans are excoriating Trump, yet these "friends" remain silent. Why hasn't the MSM hunted these guys down and demanded a comment
It seems to me that their silence is deafening.
My Advice to Doanld Trump
The first rule of survival when you find yourself in a hole is to stop fucking digging.
In the past, America has contolled puppet dictators in foriegn contries........
.......but if Donald Trump becomes President, it will be the first time another country controls one here.
Could there be a full Trump meltdown around the corner?
I've been involved in political campaigns all of my life. Sure, at the State Senate, State Rep. and Mayor's levels. But let me tell you, they are excruciating. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are raised and spent. Thousands of volunteer man hours are worked. Families are stressed and the competitive juices flow, especially in close races.
I can just imagine what it's like at the Presidential level, especially when it gets down to one on one. The Clintons have been there numerous times. The Trumps, on the other hand, are first timers. Clinton has a support group of seasoned political veterans and a campaign structure that will ease the burden on her. She has seen a fastball or two thrown her way, and she knows how to duck.
The Trumps don't know shit. In two days, Trump have been embroiled in numerous controversies and has to deal with the nude pictures of Melania on the front page of a New York tabloid (I personally condemn this act from Rupert Murdock. At some point, there are lines journalists should not cross, regardless of ratings or circulation). Can you imagine the stress. Can you imagine the pressure. And it's still July.
With the lack of experience around him and his family. With little or no support group. With thin skin, quick temper and huge ego, how can Trump ever make it to November? I can't see it. No way. I don't know when that meltdown might occur, but I will be very surprised if he makes it to the finish line without a serious meltdown.
Donald Trump Bashes Another Uniformed Hero
Donald Trump bashed and insulted the Colorado Springs Fire Marshal. The Fire Marshall, Bret Lacey, was recognized for his heroic, quick response in the shooting deaths at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs.
<snip> “The reason they won’t let them in is because they don’t know what the hell they’re doing,” Trump said Friday. “Now because of your fire marshal, who I am not a fan of, he’s probably a Democrat, probably a guy than doesn’t get it, I’m going to go into the other room and say hello to people that didn’t get your location.” <snip>
<snip>This came after Colorado Springs firefighters rescued Trump and about ten others from a stalled elevator just before his speech by prying open the top and lowering a ladder, according to KKTV. <snip>

David Duke and Donald Trump; Fellow Travelers....Boston Globe
Here is an article that appeared in today's Boston Globe.
<snip>His calculation now is obvious: If the Louisiana voters of 2016 are embracing one resentment-fueled grifter, surely they can handle another. In a campaign video, Duke said he was “overjoyed” to see Trump “embrace most of the issues I’ve championed for years.”
Ordinarily, you shouldn’t judge candidates by their most inflammatory, least reputable fellow travelers. Just because David Duke supports immigration controls doesn’t mean no mainstream politician should ever do the same.
But when Trump’s outlook and style align with Duke’s in so many ways — some of which are quite peculiar — you have to ask: How did a celebrity developer from New York and a professional racist from Louisiana end up with the same set of issues? <snip>

Airline Analogy for Trump Supporters
I love analogies. so, here's a new one.
70% of Americans believe this country is headed in the wrong direction. They don't all blame the same people, because, after all, 54% of the people approve of President Obama. But Trump supporters don't trust or want politicians anymore. They trust Trump because he's an outsider with absolutely no experience in government. America does have problems. We're not perfect, and probably never will be, but it's still the greatest nation on earth. Still, here we have too many of our fellow citizens wanting to turn the government over to a crazed neophyte.
So, here's my analogy.
There's this long established airline, let's call in Constitution Air. They have a great safety record, but have been plagued by too many late departures and late arrivals. 8 years ago, the arrivals were as much as two to two and half hours late. Awful service. But, even after much innovation and the hiring of new pilots, the take off time is still 15 minutes late on average and arrival time is still 45 minutes late, making for angry passengers at Constitution Air.
A press conference is called and the CEO and owner appear. It goes something like this.
"Even after years of trying to improve this airline, we still are not where we want to be. Our service is less than desirable and our departure and arrival times remain at unacceptable levels. We need change here at Constitution Airlines, so we are telling the public of the dramatic and bold moves we're about to make. We have decided to let all of our pilots and co-pilots go. We're going to fire them. We are not happy with their performance, so, starting Monday every pilot and co-pilot will be replaced. We are going to replace them with tailors and seamstresses. Most of them are the most accomplished in their field. Not one of them has one hour of air time experience, not even as a passenger. They will receive no training, so that they can start fresh and be unencumbered by any of the mistakes made by our previous pilots. We hope that this change will improve our on time average. But, even if it doesn't, every flight will be an exciting one. Thank you all, and I'll expect everyone at work, on time, on Monday."
Where are all of the Repblican surrogates today?
I'm watching the TV shows and there is not one elected, or former elected Republican official out there defending Trump.
Not Gingrich, Christie, Rubio, Kasich (I know, he tweeted an anti-Trump tweet), not McConnell or Ryan. Has anyone heard from Cruz? Not Ayotte or Porter. Not Toomey. Not even Carson or that twerp from Texas, Rick Perry. Nikki Haley, Rand Paul, Giuliani.
Not no one except Trump's fellow bigot, Jeff Sessions and a bunch of paid nobody's trotted out to get slaughtered.
That, to me, says it all. The silence is deafening.
