Donald Trump

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Missus and I went to a "History Talks" thing today at Carnegie Hall. Writers, journalists and two ex-presidents in Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Wise old Ted Koppel talked about how the internet has led to a decline in people's trust in the media now that any idiot with a laptop or phone can post any kind of nonsense or vitriol, but the best bit was Bill and George talking for an hour about their time in the W.H. Their respect for each other was clear and both of them lamented the lack of civility brought into politics by the current holder of the office. Both men talked about the value of reading history (Trump doesn't read) and both said how you have to uphold the dignity of the presidency and be open to criticism without abusing your critics. All not so veiled ways of saying Trump is a nasty piece of work. GWB didn't mention Trump by name but he didn't have to. The line that brought the house down was George saying that last year some citizen yelled at him "I miss you - NOW!" I do expect Bush to vote for a Democrat in November, anyone but Trump.

That post very nicely (albeit sadly) summarizes the state of the world.

But everyone there and on stage is a member of the “elite” so all of you are wrong regardless of what you/they say and think.

This guy is utterly deranged.

Was he talking about this article in the NYT?

Lol

I must have said it 100 times but I’ll say it again - considering he’s been in sales, business and media for his entire adult life, his public speaking skills are appalling

Progressive dementia will do that, mate, especially when you weren’t particularly gifted to begin with.

Given that the NYT is left-leaning, then possibly, but given that the article is more than a paragraph long and full of big words it's unlikely he even read it (like father. like son). More likely it's just his standard default response on Faux - "The Dem's are tiered of all Trump's winning, and will do and say anything to to stop him", whatever the subject of discussion.

See he’s been given a new hunting permit, hope he doesn’t have an accident and shoot himself.

He should take Cheney with him for back up.

As an outside observer, I originally thought Sanders could be problematic for Trump in an election. But after seeing Trump practically endorse him on twitter, i'm starting to become increasingly sceptical about him - unless Trump is playing everyone.

But, Hillary...

Yeah, we are all of the same opinion, apart from @Bigga who can’t see the wood for the trees and doesn’t particularly care, so long as there is a forest fire.
