After vigerous fight Ben Carson is going to endorse Donald Trump.

I understand that Governor Chris Christie refereed the deal.

Good show.

According to the Doctor: “There’s two Donald Trumps. There’s the Donald Trump that you see on television and who gets out in front of big audiences, and there’s the Donald Trump behind the scenes,” he said. “They’re not the same person. One’s very much and entertainer, and one is actually a thinking individual.”

So I guess he isn't Hitler after all. Or something.

To that end, a very nice encomium for The Donald from his old butler who describes him as "as a patriot who wants what is best for the country".

Considering CNN did the interview, I'd guess they were expecting something else.

That's the thing about Hillary. There are two Hillary's. There's the nasty shrew you see on TV. And there's the even nastier Shrew you see in Private.

All the "outsiders" are attracted to Trump. I see a Cruz-Trump alliance in the future.

Trump stood up for Carson when Cruz's campaign did dirty tricks on him in Iowa. Trump was a gentleman and acted in a sensitive way when Carson was confused at one of the debates and didn't hear his cue to come on. He covered for Carson and didn't embarrass him. Decent people do those types of things.

Even if Cruz gets the nod, that would have to happen; that's why what he told CBN may make some of his fans happy, but it's totally against his interests as much as Trump's.

Ben Carson seems like a very good man. He deserves a place in a hypothetical Trump Admin.

Carson was heard to utter: "I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Go home and get a nice quiet sleep."

That's exactly how I saw it at the time, DBQ.

You've got Carson confused with John Kerry. Seriously

bagoh20 said...

Man, you guys need to wipe off your chins. It's just a man trying to win a popularity contest, and that's all he sees it as - a challenge, a trophy, a conquest. At least make him buy you dinner.

When you have lost your sense of humor due to adoration of a politician, you have lost too much.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

Trump is just Hillary with a penis. She uses the government to get rich. He uses politicians to get rich.

bagoh20 said...

That's right April. Isn't amazing how selective memories are, when they need to be. When you have lost your memory due to adoration of a politician, you have lost too much.

Trooper York said...

I guess that Dr. Carson is just too dumb to realize how evil Trump is and too foolish not to bow down to the One True Ted.

Why is that the more people are exposed to Ted the less they like him?

I always thought that Dr Carson was a pretty moral and upright guy. But know that he is endorsing Donald he should clean off his chin.

Trooper York said...

I think youse guys are really funny. Sort of the Phyliss Diller and Foster Brooks of Lem's place.

Carry on!

Right, that's how the One True Ted put it to CBN, all us Trump guys are LIVs.

Name an election that wasn't.

But we're smart enough to see the One True Ted doesn't win without us. But we might win without him.

And then there's this:

Ted’s a Bush man with deep ties to the political and financial establishment. Ted and wife Heidi brag about being the first “Bush marriage” – they met as Bush staffers. Cruz was an adviser on legal affairs while Heidi was an adviser on economic policy and eventually director for the Western Hemisphere on the National Security Council under Condoleezza Rice. Heidi then went to the Bush U.S. Trade Representative as a top deputy to U.S. Trade Rep. Robert Zoellick, who wired Heidi’s membership in the Council on Foreign Relations and job at Goldman Sachs. The bailed-out bank then loaned Cruz $1 million secretly to finance his Senate race. Crux would also borrow an undisclosed $1 million loan from Citicorp.

Cruz has become quite adroit at saying one thing while his history shows him doing the other. Rather than the outsider he claims to be, Ted Cruz is the ultimate insider, former top Bush 41 policy aide and globalist, Ivy Leaguer, and establishment insider. There is no better example of this than Calgary Ted’s actions surrounding the big Wall Street banks and their secret funding of his political ascension. Oil and Gas Millions fund this guy Cruz has been gorging at the table of the ultimate insider of all insiders – Goldman Sachs and Citibank. His TPP support is the proof in the pudding.

Cruz and his establishment puppet masters are engaged in an aggressive strategy against Trump. The false narrative of course being that Cruz is the outsider while Trump is the insider. Nothing could be farther from the truth. In its most simplistic terms – the power elite have no leverage over Trump – nothing. Cruz, on the other hand, is the establishment’s quisling, spawned by the Bushes and controlled by Wall Street, who became a strident “outsider” only four years ago.


So who's really getting played, hmmm?

You just vindicated the point Troop and I have been trying to get you to see.

So there is hope, after all.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

That said, I doubt Trump will ever steal the White House furniture. He's not that tacky.

The final year of the Clinton stint at the White House, Bill and Hillary quietly moved the furniture out, and into their home in upstate NY. The furniture belongs to the US government.

It's one of the top 8 Clinton crimes.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

Trump and Hillary are two sides of the same coin. Crony capitalists. The only thing Trump has going for him is that he is promising to protect us. Will he?
-or will he be another ego-driven cut-throat executive-order dictator?

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

Trooper- back at cha.

@ Bags. "When you have lost your memory due to adoration of a politician, you have lost too much."
That's what I don't get. A little honesty about the man's track record fer crying out loud, is not too much to ask.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

When Palin endorsed him - I thought --(oh no - kiss of death)

Carson is a good endorsement. Really good.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

I love Phyllis Diller. May I be Phyllis, Troop?

Trooper York said...

Sure. But bags will be disappointed. He is into that cross dressing thing you know.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

That's true.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

**We all know the real reason he buys his girlfriend sexy shoes. You just cannot sexxt properly without hot fever footwear.

bagoh20 said...

You should see me in pumps. I could put Cruz in the White House single-handed with my rendition of "Happy Birthday Mister President."

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

work it.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

With Bags the image I had was more like this.

Or even this.

chickelit said...

I kind of like the idea of voicing bags as Foster Brooks. I can do a Foster Brooks voice.

bagoh20 said...

You guys are both dangerously close to the truth. Foster Brooks saying: "It puts the lotion on it skin or it gets the hose again" is pretty much me in my private life.

The Dude said...

Foster Brooks was brilliant - his comedic timing was among the best of any comic. I watched a lot of the Dean Martin roasts over the winter and the one featuring Don Rickles was funny as hell.

Then the is the story he told about the small town preacher who rode his bicycle everywhere. I do a pretty good Foster Brooks impression, but won't even attempt to do so while telling that story.

Those days are gone. Were a comedian to call an Italian guy a Puerto Rican these days his career would be over faster than Michael Richards' was.
