Donald Trump is a first-rate ass clown, but...

We cannot win without them.

Well there are some women who are liking Trump and I think many more than anyone thinks..

92-year-old registers to vote for first time, says will vote for Trump --> +video in link.

http://www.local8now.com/home/...Trump-313102521.html

KNOX COUNTY, Tenn. (WVLT) - In the story that is Beada Corum's life, she knows most of it has already been written.

"It's a history book," says Corum. "I raised eight children: four boys and four girls."

At 92-years-old, she should be slowing down. But, don't tell her that.

"I'm busy all of the time," she says.

Corum still makes her daily checklists and crosses them off as she goes. But last week, she crossed off something decades in the making.

This 92-year-old citizen registered to vote for the very first time.

"We got a good country but it's going downhill so fast and we need somebody in there who can straighten it out," says Corum.

In the past, Corum says there hasn't been a candidate she was passionate about. That all changed when she heard one man speak. Corum says she plans to vote for Donald Trump in the 2016 Presidential Election.

"He's got a strong mind and he speaks it out just the way he thinks it ought to be," she says.

Corum is proving you're never too old to make it count.

"I pray that I'll vote for the right person. And, when you pray with all your heart, it won't go void. That's my prayer," she says.

Isn't that cute?

At her age, by the time the elections are held, she'll probably be voting Democrat.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

And I think you enjoy the ruckus he is causing so much that you don't see that ruckus is all he is. I get a kick out of the trouble he is causing too. But it isn't enough.

We'll see how it plays out.

A ruckus has never been needed more than right now. These assholes were all content to go on eating cucumber sandwiches with white gloves is the quadrennial kabuki we call presidential politics. Trump is forcing them all out of their mask, including the media. The whole bullshit process needed to be burned down and Trump is breathing fire at the lot of them. The one with the balls to take up the challenge Trump is laying down will deserve the nomination.

I had this terrible dream that a commie radical, a total loser besides, and a racist to boot, made it into the White House. He destroyed the economy, turned America into an international joke, took over healthcare and couldn't even put up its website, gave the Iranians the nuke, stirred up race riots....

Oh. Wait.

The funny thing is that the MSM is now starting to describe Trump, Fiorina, Carson and others as "outsiders"-- the story being that the American voter seems to want outsiders, not professional politicians. In a way, this is true. But the joke there is that the real outsiders are Jeb! and Hillary, and most of the Washington political class-- fabulously wealthy, totally untouched by all the things that have us pissed off: the flood of illegals, Obamacare, collapse of the economy, racial strife.

As Jeepster points out, Trump came out saying in no uncertain terms exactly what it was that ordinary, hard-working American citizens were pissed off about. And not whimpering, apologizing, and backing down when challenged, and even hurt financially.

Trump should be a noun to describe a bold, honest kind of politics.

Trump was The Donald telling Megyn to go fuck herself, in effect.

Trump was Cruz denouncing McConnell from the Senate floor.

Anti-Trump would be O'Malley apologizing for saying "All lives matter."

Yeah, but they can't get to the polls.

our enemy, so to speak, is as much The Establishment / professional politicians / business-as-usual-in-D.C. (all fancy words for "excessive and largely inexcusable bullshit") as it is the Democrats / Socialists / GDCs. we won't have "won" much of anything until both are beaten.

As long as he keeps Jeb from the nomination that's all I care about. Go Donald!

In light of todat's amusements here on the Forum, I found a quote to share.

quote:

In our brief national history we have shot four of our presidents, worried five of them to death, impeached one and hounded another out of office. And when all else fails, we hold an election and assassinate their character. -- P. J. O'Rourke

In the Department of "Let them eat cake," this is an actual quote from George Will, in an article by Patrick Buchanan:

"“A political party has a right to … secure its borders,” asserts the Post’s George Will, “a duty to exclude interlopers.” Will wants The Donald “excommunicated” and locked out of all GOP debates until he kneels and takes a loyalty oath to the nominee."

How is that for being sublimely out of touch?

She will not get the nomination. As one member put it, she's toast. Done. And so far Trump is not going away anytime soon.

It seems to me that the idea of Trump securing the GOP nomination is beginning to have the flavor of inevitability. To me Trump stands a much better chance of lowering his negative numbers with the voters than Clinton.

When I think about the front runners in the GOP, Trump is the only one who seems genuine and ALIVE. Imagine how he will appear during a debate with the semi-animated cadaver that is Sec. Clinton. To be sure, Sec. Clinton is very bright but she couldn't make a connection with a hungry dog if she held a pork chop in her hand.

For all his faults The Donald is the only candidate currently running in either party with the courage and the ego to wake this nation up and let the American geist breathe again.

What makes you think Trump doesn't have a plan? Is Jebs! Plan so good, legalizing millions of illegals? What about Krispy Kremes plan to spy on everybody, that's a helluva plan? The plans I've heard from Trump are way more in line with what's good for America.

I get it that some people don't personally like Trump. That doesn't mean he doesn't have a plan, couldn't make a plan, or wouldn't make a decent President.

Has Trump ever had a plan in his life? All of those businesses? All of that money? Surely it just worked out that way, since he doesn't know what a plan is. I suspect he can't even spell plan.

And has he ever worked with anybody who's had a plan, knows how to make a plan, or even knows what a plan is? Nope. He's built all of those businesses alone. No help. Just him doing things his way.

I just wish Trump would go away so we can get back to the business of deciding between Jeb and Hillary.

I don't disagree. I love how Trump is the only guy who needs a detailed plan right now. Do we honestly think he cannot come up with one with all of his resources?

And I also agree with another poster - the guy is taking heat, dropped from shows, golf events, etc. It seems personal to him - and he is not giving in. To anyone. He's lost millions of dollars thus far and seems to be willing to continue on down the path.

I don't have all the answers - but I'm pretty tired of all the bullshit coming out of DC. Some of you are really stuck on him being a dick - and he is - I get it. But, maybe we all need some dick.

You know what I mean.

again, I don't *want* Trump for President, but he could certainly do as well of a job (with the assistance of qualified staff) as Carter, Clinton (either), Obama, McCain, Palin, Quale, and most candidates and office holders this century.

he's more successful than most of them, too.

I'm not really concerned with what might happen if by some miracle he was elected. I'm concerned with what will happen if we get another 4+ years of the same old bullshit, D or R.
