Well what a whirlwind couple of weeks we have had here in
the Trump campaign. Thank God we are home in New York and away from the horrid
Wisconsin. The only thing worse than the food there were the people. Cheesy. In
every sense of the word. Thank the Good Lord that we are home in Trump Tower.
You don’t realize how much you miss a gold toilet seat until you haven’t pissed
in one in weeks.
Anyway we are back in New York and regrouping. We are going
to destroy Teddy in New York and most of the Northeast. I mean Teddy doesn't have
a chance. Ever since he started spouting that “New York Values” tripe to
impress the rubes and hayseeds out there in flyover country. Little does he
know we have the little people? Not just the midgets. We have all the reality
show people. The people on the reality shows.
The people who watch the reality shows.
The people who want to be the people on the shows that people watch on
the shows. You know. Everybody. Except the Fancy People.
Donald has heard from all of the Realty Show stars. Snookie
and Jwow. Amarosa. The little couple. Brett Michaels. Flava Flav. Bridgette
Neilsen. Chumley from Pawn Stars. The bald douche and his stripper wife from
Storage Wars. Every Bachelor and Bachelorette out there. All of the pageant contestants
form Miss Universe even the beaners. The Dance Mom. Honey Boo Boo’s Mom. Honey
Boo Boo Mom’s kids. The guy who molested Honey Boo Boo Mom’s kids. Nene and
Kenya Martin. Lisa Vander Pump. Jax and Stassi. Vicky Gunvaldson and Heather
Debrow. Kyle Richards. Bethenney. Sonja. The Countess. Even Dorinda and the fat
fucking laundry guy. They all want to campaign for Donnie. I mean they all want
a paycheck too but they all want to campaign.
Because that is what this is all about. Getting a paycheck.
That is why the establishment guys are freaking out. Donnie didn't use any
consultants. He didn't use the usual pollsters. He told Frank Luntz to piss up
a rope. He doesn't have the same group of hucksters sucking him dry like they
did to Jeb and that poor sap Scott Walker. So they see their rice bowl getting
broken and they are shitting themselves.
It is the same thing with these stupid delegates. They say
what Teddy is doing is within the rules. I told Donnie to find out what the
rules are and then stretch them out as far as Kate Plus Eight’s vagina. Let’s
find out the rules about payola. If it is not against the rules then pay for
all the hotel rooms for the delegates. All the food and drink and coke and
hookers they can handle. The way we used to do for Tony Soprano when he came
down to Atlantic City. Donnie knows how to do this. Or at least our casino
people know how to do it. I mean what has Ted Cruz got to compare to that? A
bible? His vaunted principles that he will dump in a New York Values Minute to take dough from
McConnell? Shit I bet he would go for the coke and the hookers. You want to
play by the rules. Let’s do it.
LEEEETTTTTSSSSSS GGGGEEETTTTTT REEEEEAAADDDDY TTTTOOOOO

Okay, you come up with the second verse. Or don't. See if I care.
Is filing for bankruptcy and walking away with people's money playing fair, or is it playing by the rules? You see Trump is good at roping in suckers, because lets face it, that's easy. He's good at getting you to put your money or vote down, but not good at all in executing after he gets it. That's his history, over and over, and it's exactly what's happening now. How would you like it if you were forced to invest in one of his many failed ventures. That's how us non-Trumpers feel right now - like someone is using our checkbook to give him another go at it, and ignoring every warning we give.
As long as he builds the Wall he can renege on all the other promises far as I'm concerned. I'm afraid all the deep thinkers missed it and continue to miss it that Trump hit the home run to end all home runs - with us suckers of course - when he said "I will build a Wall." That struck home. Clear as a bell. And all the smoke and mirrors in the world won't make it go away or cut the CONNECTION between Trump and MILLIONS.....all suckers of course.

My God, do you have this drivel delivered by email or do you have to follow somebody on Twitter?
I showed you the material, you know what you said is a lie, so why do you do it?
If suckers are being roped in, it's the Anointed One that's doing it.
Bags do you anything about Trumps "bankruptcies" that you keep banding about as the reason everyone should scorn Trump?
Did you know that they were not personal bankruptcies? That they were actual Chapter 11 reorganizations? That they were all tied into the casino business that went bell up? That the four reorganizations were for Trump Taj Majal, Trump Plaza Hotel, Trump Hotel and Casino Resorts and Trump Entertainment Resorts? That Ceaser's Palace also filed for bankruptcy in the same time frame and for Chapter 11 protection? That the casino industry in Atlantic City was destroyed by the proliferation of casinos in the Metropolitan area? That the banks got a larger share of the casinos that are still in operation to this day employing people while Trump took his losses and went on to do other things? Is that too nuanced for you?
Or are you just going to repeat "Trump bankruptcies" as though that is all you have to say?
Bagoh - did you get your nightly cruzzer tin foil hat transmission from the cruzzer satellite? I am now thoroughly brainwashed with talking points. All paid for by the following: HotAir, National Review, Mitch McConnell, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Weekly Standard, Ace of Spades, The GOPe, Victor Davis Hanson, Fox News, Megyn Kelly, Jonah Goldberg, Reason, The Koch Brothers, and the list keeps growing!
All heretics. But I beeleeeve!
Now what I outlined are facts not excuses. Fact Trump claimed Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for businesses he controlled. Fact Trump never claimed personal bankruptcy. Fact the casino industry was destroyed by the proliferation of casinos especially those of sovereign Indian tribes that don't have to pay any taxes. Fact Chapter 11 means a reorganization where Trump lost most of his ownership shares and the companies were reorganized and continue to employ people today. Fact saying Trump went bankrupt four times implies it was personal bankruptcy and is simply not true.
Actually - that photo makes her look like she belongs in the wax museum. Just sayin.
Ed, I don't twitter or facebook, and I don't read political email. That's a sure fire way of being lied to. I do my own research. Now what material. I never saw anything saying Trump didn't use bankruptcy to walk away from his obligations, which is playing fair by the way. It's just not the kind of thing that recommends a person for trust.
Trump's trade policy - leftwing.
(Opposite of Reagan.) Trump's ideas about trade will usher in trade wars and do nothing to solve what he thinks it will solve.
Lie. Reagan was no free trader.Imposed a 100% tariff on Japanese electronics.
Honey, quit telling us about Reagan because you don't know a damned thing of what you're talking about.

I linked acres of stuff for him to read. He doesn't care.
Troop, everyone who has been paying attention and reading all angles has known all along about all of that. Nobody ever said it was personal bankruptcies, never.
Now who was the genius who decided to go to Atlantic City? Who promised investors he would make it happen? Who failed to deliver? Who was in charge of hiring everyone who knew the goals but failed, who managed all that at the executive level? Who negotiated the terrible deals? Who set and maintained the failed vision? Who refused to see the enormous writing on the walls of New Jersey? Who was the only major executive in the casino industry to completely blow it during a period of unparalleled success by virtually every other man in his position? Poor guy. He only started out rich, and those other lesser men had to make it themselves. If he wasn't born rich, he'd be washing windows in traffic.
We disagree April. It is not left wing. Or at least you are using an old paradigm.
It is populist. American jobs for American people. Not illegal immigrants. Not third world slave labor.
I compete with cheap garments made in China at slave wages. It is getting almost impossible to do it. I saw spring dresses marked down to $20 in Macy's last month. That means they cost about $8 to make in China. If Trump wants to start a trade war let me know where I can go to enlist.
Ed, do you intend to send out excuses for President Trump's failures? I won't read those either, because they won't matter either. That's what being a chief executive means: no excuses. Perform or go. The buck doesn't stop at Trump's lawyer's desk.
Bags he made millions upon millions in AC. I made some too because I bought some casino stock and sold it at the high. But just like the people who invested in Blockbuster video made a lot of money eventually the worm turns. It happens in most businesses.
I submit you use the bankruptcies as a ploy. As a pretext. As a way to hammer Trump. Which is fair enough. But don't cry if we take stuff in Cruz's life that are just as sketchy and use them against him.
I use the Trump University thing as an example. Right now that is being litigated in a court of law. All we have is unsubstantiated allegations. Just as there are unsubstantiated allegations that Cruz is a cocksman in the scandal rags. Cruz could take them to court. But he hasn't. Because truth is a defense.
Interesting link, ed.
"The World Bank estimates that import restrictions in 1984 had the same effect as a 66% income tax surcharge on America's poorest citizens. Less obvious is the harm to American producers, who lose exports and pay more for capital goods because of protectionism. For example, everyone, including the beleaguered American auto industry, has to pay more for steel because of the Reagan administration's restrictions on imports. Even the steel industry is hurt because artificially high prices stimulate the search for alternative materials.
President Reagan missed a unique opportunity to begin freeing the American economy from the shackles of trade restrictions. He need not have given the American people a technical lesson in economics. He could have said that free trade requires no more justification than domestic economic freedom; indeed, it requires no more justification than the traditional American values of a humane and open society."
Not a ringing endorsement of Reagan or punitive trade restrictions.
Trump's trade ideas and obsessions sound crazy to me.
Conservative treehouse links go straight into the *ignore*. Conspiracy and tabloid wishful thinking nonsense for tru-beeleeevers.

OK, how about the One True Ted?
He's won 9 whole primaries to Trump's 20. Lousy performance.
He's authored 100 bills, only one passed. Lousy performance.
He claims to be a Conservative, but he voted for the Ocare omnibus spending bill, TPP, and the Corker amendment. Lousy performance.
He shut down the government twice, but saved no money. Lousy performance.

I linked to some of the problems the AC casino industry had from the 90s on. bag wasn't interested because that interfered with his bias. He wasn't interested in what bankruptcy was and how few Trump had.
He and April aren't open to anything. They will swallow anything Cruz Central feeds them because they want to believe it.
The word is gullible.
That's right, baby. tin-foil hat, satellite, telepathic transmissions from the Nazi, and a subscription to cruzzer weekly.. we be brainwashed.
The only reason there are auto companies still in the United States is because of the domestic content legislation that Reagan passed. Propaganda from free trade advocates and phony cooked books are not disposative.
You know who was a big fan of tariffs? Who instituted the first tariffs in the United States?
George Washington. Well know liberal.
We should have American Products made by American workers in American Factories. Even if they cost more. We shouldn't be subsidizing China or Mexico or anywhere else at the expense of native born Americans.
That is what Trump stands for. That is why they hate him so.
Now you can tell me that Trump ties are made overseas or some shit like that. Well that is wrong. Trump has learned. He has listened. He wants to change it. Now he might not. Of course that is possible. But at least he is listening. At least he has heard. At least he is talking about this. And immigration. And the danger of the Muslim infiltration of terrorists. The other candidates either jump to copy him or have a different view. But if Trump hadn't brought it up it would have been the same old same old.
I go back to what I think is the most important endorsement of this cycle. When Senator Jeff Sessions sought to support someone he didn't pick his fellow conservative Senate colleague he knew better than most of the other candidates. He picked Donald Trump. Because like most people when you get to know Ted Cruz he is not the guy you pick.
Troop - I see your complaints about slave labor & made in China for pennies. I'd like to counter that without hurting the slaves. (not gonna happen) I'd like to bring those products and manufacturing back to America. I'm no expert but the problems go way beyond trade. Americans don't want to work anymore, the EPA (good or bad) will not allow American factories to pump cherry colored toxic sludge into the water-ways like they do in China. There are so many facets to the world economy. So many un-even playing fields. We withstand the highest corporate tax rates in the world. Our regulations do nothing but tie our hands and make companies either move over-seas or shut down because they cannot compete. etc.. Much more complicated than can be solved with a trade war. Perhaps Trump knows what he is talking about in that regard. But I don't think so.
I wonder where Trump had his ties and Macy's brand garments made? just askin....
And shackles of trade restrictions means jobs for poor people April. Don't kid yourself. That is what free trade does. It frees us from jobs.

I guess that depends upon who paid for them. For all their wealth you would think that they would be able to hire a surgeon who eschewed the toilet plunger look.

We already know that he makes them in China or somewhere else in the Pacific Rim job. But, he's honest about talking about it and not liking it and wanting to move the jobs back to the States. This makes him better than the hypothetical producer who never started a business at all because he couldn't/wouldn't and also of course better than the smug "China firsters" who believe that we owe jobs to the Third World (Tim Cook?).
Everyone admires hard work, but the rules of free trade also say that China's labor should naturally become more expensive. I believe that China manipulates its currency to counter this. Trump seems to be the only one who believes this as well.

I have to agree with Sixty here. With all that money and all those boob jobs, you'd think thee would be some serious NIH R&D to improve things.
But making better breast implants a national priority would make us end up like Venezuela.

I think so too. ..About China and its currency. They build huge mega sky-scrapers and no one can afford to move in, so the massive beautiful state-of-the-art buildings sit vacant. I think China is almost a Potemkin village.
Good news- Hillary is going to tax rape us to death - To pay for her free stuff.
If Trump is the nominee, as so many of you want, I sure hope he can figure out how to start acting like an adult. From where I sit, he is losing support, not gaining it.
(NY doesn't count. you people are crazy)
Trump cannot unwind the trade imbalance with China w/o simultaneously unwinding the debt problem. His is expertise in bankruptcy may be just the ticket we need. Of course, who would emerge unscathed and who will be the bagholder(s) is the the better question. I nominate April as "bag holder" ;)
In addition, we'll need an army of cheap unskilled labor to rebuild here what we take back from China. Most people are against that.
I think that many people were on board with it (free trade) up until the globalists decided to erode the high-skilled trades/careers as well. Jeff Sessions knows the most about that. Now Cruz et al. are paying lip service to the latter, but their earlier track records show where their hearts and mouths lie.

Really? Well, you're sitting upside down watching a reflection of life in a sideshow mirror.
According to NBC, which I linked in several places, he's within 2 of Hillary - and he's doing better than Reagan at this point in '80.
You think the Cruz performance in CO won many hearts? Kinda doubt it. Too many people heard the truth from Drudge.
Sorry about that.
Chickelit,
Your support of Trump shocks me the most. Bag holder? as In - what? - if Trump should win and all his unicorn fairy-tales come true, I'll be a bag-holder?
If Trump can beat Hillary, and accomplish what you say he will - I'll be happy.
I'm more concerned about his weird off-putting behavior. I think you should be, too.
He's burning bridges left and right and he can't be your super-hero if he cannot connect with voters and beat the corrupt tax rape queen.
Turns out Burn-it man was a liar. No worries. Drudge has moved on.

Relax, it was word play, given your new found alliance with bags.

Nobody is putting a halo around Trump's head. Glenn Beck is trying to do just that with Ted Cruz. The candidate's tightest clingers sometimes create the most repulsion. I wrote about that using a chemical analogy here: The Chemistry of Politics.
Trump couldn't handle N.J. but he'll make China, and Russia bend to his will. I won't be surprised with another Trump failure, but will you guys be satisfied with just excuses, like you are with Trump Casinos.
And as for polls, the RCP average has Trump -10.4 points with Clinton. That's the average for all the polls, not just one outlier. There are outliers like Bloomberg that have him down by 18. Cruz averages -2 over the same polls, with the worst at -9. No polls have Trump ahead. Cruz is +3 in the Fox poll. But that's just numbers we don't want to hear about.
As for criticizing Cruz, have at it, but use facts well documented, not unfounded accusations and opinions that got fed to you by some website that loves Trump 24/7. And stop the schoolgirl excitement with the latest rumour or silly claim that you bring in like a cat with dead mouse.
I don't support Cruz by claiming he passed a bunch of bills - that would make him the establishment, and I have to be sure and remind everyone that I don't know any of them. No really I don't. I don't claim anything about Cruz other than he's does not have a lifelong record of failure at keeping promises, or selling people big things only to walk away from them when it gets tough. He appears from his actions and words to most closely approximate what I want in a President - smart, thoughtful, calculating, and respectful of the Constitution. None of which I see in Trump, despite his claims. I want someone who respects smaller government as a matter of personal philosophy, not a sudden politically expedient and constantly shifting opportunity for a new trophy. Cruz was way down my list and Trump near the top. All that changed that for me was information, not promises, or emotions, or expectations of some rich stranger moving to D.C. and making my life better.
Cruz is not my guy. He just a man less likely to screw things up the way they almost always do. I'm no cheerleader. I don't want a big shiny President.
I have said from the beginning that Trump is a leaky vessel. That he has a lot of problems. But he is addressing some basic fundamental issues that the Republican Party so called true conservatives like Ted Cruz run away from. Trump is not afraid to smash political correctness. Ted Cruz was and is. When Trump said we had to stop admitting Muslims from terrorist breeding countries Ted Cruz joined in the pile on of the media and the establishment of both parties. After Brussels he sorta changed his tune a little. He never would have done it unless Trump took the flack first.
Same with immigration. And trade. Ted Cruz changed his positions to mimic Trump. Trump lead. Cruz followed.
I don't see Trump as a big shiny hero. I see him primarily as an agent of change. He has already changed the terms of the debate. He has put things on the table that used to be unmentionable in polite society. He exposed the conservative establishment and the conservative pundits for what they are. The opposite side of the elitist coin of the Liberals.
Unlike Cruz fans I don't think Trump is Jesus. I think he is John the Baptist. Jesus will come later. They will cut off his head. I expect that ultimately since good men refuse to support throwing the money changers out of the temple. It will be vitally important how it goes from here on out. If the establishment does what I think it will do they will not like what comes next. Of that you can be sure.

Bags, have you ever considered that people lie in polls, especially about Trump? The whole social tranquility of my camping trip last weekend was premised on not talking about politics around the campfire. I seriously believe that Cruz did better in open caucused because some people are afraid to show their support in public. I talk to strangers today who always preface their positive remarks about Trump with either "I don't want to offend you..." or "I'm not a Trump supporter, but..." As soon as I signal my openness to Trump, their guard comes down. It's polite society.
I pulled the buttons off my 501 jeans except for the top one to close them, leaving a gap that spreads out. Then I go freeballing it around town and spread my legs wide on buses and and lightrail and restaurants, wherever I go, so that my ball sack shows through. I got the idea from Melania's dress, but truth is I've been planning it since Meghan McCain showed us her tits similarly, that is baldly and up front as it were, obvious as if with targets crudely drawn on them, all public attention must focus directly on her tits. I wanted that same thing with my balls. How does it look? *spreads legs* Huh? See, I shaved my balls just for this public display. C'mon. Look at my balls. Look at my balls goddamnit I spent a lot of time pulling off those buttons. Noice, eh? Hello! My eyes are up here! I'm up here. Talk to me up here. No fair starring at my balls that I put on display for you. Gawl. You're such sexists. Take a picture whydontchya.
He never would have done it unless Trump took the flack first.
That is true in so many ways. Los Cruzados will never admit that though.
Well, this ought to tar everybody it touched.

And, bag, the act is getting old.
Of course, Trump couldn't fix Jersey, he wasn't governor.
And April polls mean zip to a November election.
And you wouldn't accept anything good about Trump or bad about the Anointed One if it was in the Bible.
And, if anybody could screw things up, it would be a guy who does believe he's anointed. But you don't want to hear that, either.
But the big problem is that most people have yet to hear of Daddy Cruz.
This is what happens when they do.
Sweet Mother of Pearl, whoever invented the phrase "sanctimonious prick" must have been listening to Ted Cruz talk when they had their revelation.

Very provocative idea there. A riff on that piece from across the pond you posted here.
And I think it, and you, are right. It wasn't the first piece I'd seen with the idea that the next phase, if the powers-that-are don't listen will be rougher.
The idea that the dispossessed will do something is why they created what VDH calls the most comfortable poverty in history seems silly to them, but, with unemployment double all the national averages (and I mean the real ones) among blacks, that's where it will start.
Free stuff only goes so far. Just ask the slaves. Everything was free for them.
Um, somebody tell me if this is kosher.

Chip Ahoy said...I ask people to explain Trump and they cannot. They're baffled. The best they can do is, "It seems to me people saying 'fuck you.'" And with no real need for further detailed examination it seemed that answer will do.
Trump cannot do much of anything without us behind him. Up thread I wrote "Trump cannot unwind the trade imbalance with China w/o simultaneously unwinding the debt problem." But truth be told, we, a majority have to decide to unwind the both the trade imbalance and the debt with China and Mexico. Trump cannot do this alone, of course. But he will spearhead it. He resonates with an uncertain amount of "peoples' will." To deny Trump is to deny the people's will for change. It will be Congress's work too, as they make the laws (or used to do so). A problem in this country is that too many in power like things just the way they are -- apparently, the so called donor class of both parties. They like and applaud the yawning chasms of debt. And too many ordinary people like the free stuff that the debt buys. That's what this year's election is about. Trump recognizes that the business of Government and the government of Business are screwed up. People do too, and that explains Trump.
Bags constantly asks about specifics, but I don't think we've begun to agree on generalities.
VERY late here, but April, I see you've been on a roll up top, you can retract your claws now. :)
On a more serious note, the theory and practice of "free trade" was always based on "comparative advantage" to make it work. But the Chinese don't just enjoy comparative advantage in a few industries, they enjoy ABSOLUTE ADVANTAGE" in them all. The only thing that is going to save the American worker and high paying union jobs is for American Unions to agitate for unions in China. Only when Chinese workers begin to come close to parity with the American pay-scale will this problem begin to be solved.
Or are you just going to repeat "Trump bankruptcies" as though that is all you have to say?
This. It is a favorite talking point.
These were Chapter 11 reorganization bankruptcies of CORPORATIONS where the employees are retained until it is settled. In one case, that we know of, Trump, as one of the major stock holders of the corporation, liquidated some of his personal assets to pay off some of the debts. Bankruptcy happens and bad deals are made.
Reality and talking points. Never the twain shall meet.
Trump has all sorts of flaws and has probably, ok more than probably, done some tricky dealing. Who doesn't in the business and locality where he was operating. I don't care because the other candidates running are far far worse. They don't even pretend to represent the people. It will be the same old agenda once any one of them are elected. At least with Trump, we might....might....get a chance to make some changes in the system.
I'm willing to give it one more try, before we just literally burn the whole thing down.
"These were Chapter 11 reorganization bankruptcies of CORPORATIONS "
Corporations that Trump ran and failed at dismally. Is that a good thing somehow, or just OK, because we all know damned well it wouldn't be if it was anyone other than Trump? Why is that double standard helpful in this process of choosing a chief executive?
Remember, he didn't just bankrupt companies 4 times. He did it when everybody else was making a fortune in the same business. And, he didn't just fail with the bankruptcies. He has a whole list of other failed businesses that didn't use bankruptcy, but just closed down.
Just because you guys hate being reminded of this stuff doesn't make it irrelevant, unless you got the fever. And wait until the Dems start playing it over and over.
This is simply wrong bags. The Casino industry went in the dumper during the time frame that Trump filed for reorganization. Ceaser's palace filed for reorganization. Steve Wynn sold out while the getting was good because he got the word from his mob bosses that it was time to go off shore.
You want to tar Trump with the bankruptcy brush. I understand that. The millions that he made for his stockholders means nothing. Being in business means riding the highs and lows. Especially at that level. Like I said what if he was the owner of Blockbuster. Or a beeper franchise before cellphones. Times change. Businesses change. Everybody knows that.
They also know that Ted Cruz never met a payroll. Never had to choose to deal with a mobbed up concrete company if he wanted to get his project built. Never had to give campaign contributions to sleazy bastards like the Clintons to grease the skids to get a project done. Ted Cruz never had to step away from the theoretical into the practical. His record in the Senate screams that.
You just have your fingers in your ears.
I don't care what you all are saying right now because Melania is purdy!!! :drool:
