Trump is not in the pockets of the special interest. Yeah I get it. He was his own special interest. He bribed and paid off politicians with campaign contributions. I mean they asked him how he got Hillary to come to his daughters wedding and he said "I paid her to come."
The excellent blogger Don Surber has a great post about this in his excellent blog. In it he qoutes Donald talking about an new boondoggle in the F-35 airplane that is not as good as our existing planes. Trump is quoted as follows:
"I do hear that it’s not very good. I’m hearing that our existing planes are better. And one of the pilots came out of the plane, one of the test pilots, and said this isn’t as good as what we already have. And to spend billions and billions of dollars on something that maybe isn’t as good …
They’re saying it doesn’t perform as well as our existing equipment, which is much less expensive. So when I hear that, immediately I say we have to do something, because you know, they’re spending billions. This is a plane, there’s never been anything like it in terms of cost. And how about, you know, we’re retooling with planes that aren’t as good as the ones we have, and the test pilots are amazing people. They know better than anybody, okay, and I think you would accept that."
Trump is used to dealing with suppliers in his business and I know he would not accept that. Both Hillary and Bernie are big supporters of the F-35 because of special interest money and the fact that there is a factory in Vermont. The Clinton foundation got millions in donations. Senator John McCain got $186,250 in campaign contributions. Trump is not part of that. He doesn't need it. He spent zero dollars on ads for Super Tuesday. He won't owe his balls to his contributions. The big money boys are all on the other side. So he has a chance to turn military procurement on it's head and potentially save billions while building a more effective armed forces.
Do you think Rent Boy Rubio will do that? Will Ted Cruz do that? Or Hillary or Bernie?

You're right, Troop, sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Always smile at them, even if you hate their fucking guts. Then, when they are feeling comfortable, and not looking, you hit them with the baseball bat.
My thoughts exactly Allen.
It should be interesting tonight in the debate.
Nice to hear him say that.
Just because it's new doesn't always mean it's better.
Ask AllenS about Ma Deuce or the Warthog.
It's sick out there and getting sicker. VP Biden on tale apologizing to Mexico for what Trump is saying.

I sometimes wish he would stop talking in circles because it gets annoying. He can never get to the point it seems.
Wow man, mi mente se sopla. I keep learning fundamental things about Photoshop and about the camera. Right when you think you're well full of knowledge, a proper expert, along comes something basic to go WHAP "missed meeeeeee."
This is a problem with being so dadgum autodidactic. A proper education will have all these things covered.
Oh yeah. Rent boy is a very rude epithet, you know.
Epithets are those things carved into coffins that follow a royal name. So that even if you scratch out the king's name and put in a different usurper's name the epithets left alone will identify the true original dead guy. This happens ALL THE TIME. For example King Tut's dad was disliked and his coffin suffered this indignity. His outer coffin for Amenhotep IV later changed to Ankhenaten had epithets that remained after an usurper had them removed, known as early transgender, they read: Daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed.
Betazed that stands for "from second to last."
Trufax. I might have things a little conflated here, but the point remains about Rent Boy being rude. He's grown now, no longer a boy.
Trump: "I do hear that it’s not very good...
They’re saying it doesn’t perform as well..."
Like Trump Airlines, or Trump University, or Trump Plaza, or Trump Vodka, or Trump: The Game, and on and on. Do you see a pattern heading your way?
Probably not.
I'm changing my affiliation tomorrow (because tomorrow is the deadline in the current state of my residence) in order to enable the ability to vote in a primary.
Now, I do think this is a useless exercise, given the reality of dates and stuff etc.
Still, that said: I won't ever have to admit that I didn't try, much less that I didn't bother, to make an effort.
At the end of the day, I do have some sorts of consistency going for me!
