Dowd invites brother to guest post his Republican views to short circuit politics during Thanksgiving meal

"Donald Trump: With all his bombast and incivility, Trump has joyfully debunked political correctness for the complete fraud that it is. With his talent for making debate ratings soar, he has allowed all the other candidates to be seen and heard at celestial levels unreachable without him. He has touched a nerve because people are fed up with liberal groups being offended at every slight, real or imagined. (I can assure you none of these people were taught by Jesuits.) Three Ivy League schools are currently under siege, with students at Princeton demanding the removal of Woodrow Wilson’s name from a building. Washington and Jefferson are up next as former slave owners, leaving Al Sharpton as the default “father of our country.” We are tired of apologies for America’s exceptionalism.
Ben Carson: Not since Eisenhower has a complete novice politician been so legitimate a contender. Can he avoid the traps set for him by the media? He presents intriguing possibilities as part of the ticket, forcing African-Americans to choose between him and the wife of the man Toni Morrison called our “first black president.”
Marco Rubio: Young, whip smart and self-assured, he has an encyclopedic knowledge of foreign affairs and is a stunning contrast to Hillary Clinton both in generation and vision. Wait until he starts delivering his speeches in Spanish.
Ted Cruz: The Hispanic heir apparent to Barry Goldwater had the best moment in the third debate, calling out an obscure cable TV host looking for his 10 minutes of fame.
Jeb Bush: I like the Bushes, all of them. Jeb would have been the perfect Republican candidate from 1988 to 2000. In this age of instant gratification, his wonkish grasp of policy does not move the needle. Too bad.
Chris Christie: Trump with better manners. A certain pick for attorney general if this gig does not work out.
...Our enemies do not fear us, and authority at home is being questioned by a disgraceful campaign since Ferguson to undermine the police. I am the son of a policeman, and a police officer is killed in the line of duty every 60 hours. The thin blue line is the only thing that separates our society from anarchy. There will be awful shootings by police officers like the one in Chicago, but these are exceptions. My dad told me that any job where you can legally carry a gun will occasionally draw the wrong type of person. Police officers certainly do not deserve to see the media turning criminals into celebrated victims. The next time you see a police officer, say thank you.
So, ask yourself three questions: Do you want a president who refuses to name the enemy? Who do you want to appoint the next three Supreme Court justices? And who will protect the homeland and honor the Constitution? Then pray that you got it right."

Trump is neither bombastic or uncivil.

Shocked? Well of course you are because that's the narrative (that he is those things) you've been bathed in by our entire terrified of being exposed as complete corruptos establishment. He doesn't eat their shit so he must be destroyed. He's a straight talker. That's all. That's his crime. Will he disappoint? Probably. So what. Here's a little secret but don't say it too loudly or you'll be lumped with those, yaknow, bitter clingers. Trump loves America. Very benighted that. But there it is. He loves his country and the country that isn't obsessed with being in-the-know loves him back. When you think of what the Schmendricks have done to us and they still have the gall to act entitled to rule?!

Trump by a mile next November.

Trump freaks out people like Maureen Dowdy. And her many cats.

Wait a minute. Christie has better manners? Better manners than who? Wimpy from the Popeye cartoons? The Ham Burgler?

Christe = Trump with manners? LOL.

Christie isn't conservative and he doesn't take on the Establishment. He just yells at School teachers and people who ask him questions at Town Hall meetings.

Christie kisses NYT butt, Trump kicks it.

Trump has been a successful real estate developer in NYC. That's not the mark of a dummy. It does indicate, however, that he's got elbows sharp enough to sever a jugular and lots of hyperdrive and blood lust when he's moving toward closing--and he's always moving toward closing. It warms every cockle in my heart when he dumps on those people he dislikes in a crass way and then denies that he meant to insult them in the way they clam. It reminds me of media people who claim that they're not biased, and that it's all in my head......I'm not sold on him as President, but keep the show running

Bombastic, no, uncivil YES.

A debate between Clinton and Trump would be outrageously entertaining. He would not stand on civility, but attack her from every angle, in no uncertain terms.

Well said, Republican brother.

Clearly, the Lefties are scared purple of The Donald (Christie with worse matters? suuuure he is).

And, yeah, I'll just bet they love Rubio.

Contemptuous of Cruz, but that may blow up in their faces if he's anywhere on the ticket.
