Just a Thought . . .

Politics

Maybe a blow up doll behind the empty podium representing Trump? Or maybe the same as Clint Eastwood, they should all address the empty podium and tell it what they think of Trump. Any other ideas?

    The real question is how many will pay attention. After all these debates repeating themselves, what will more debates prove? I think we have heard all the sound baits.

      Lord:

      This will break up the monotony.

    Perhaps just a limp dick, since he can’t “stand up” to a pretty lady.

    If Carrot Top doesn’t have a gig that night he might be a good stand-in.

    I predict the others on the stage will get as childish and puerile as they can in attacking Trump. Instead of taking the opportunity to stand out from the crowd they’ll take whatever cheap shots and one liners their handlers can come up with.
    Cruz will be the worst.
    For anybody but Trump this ploy would have been a disaster but he knows the competition are even bigger doofuses than he is. Actually this is an interesting move since it sends a message about Trump’s willingness to go it on his on as a potential third party candidate.
    If it weren’t such a serious topic the Republican primary would be a hilarious reality show.

    Reality show. You said it . That is what Trump is really all about, himself. He never can really say anything substantive about much other than “I ‘m leading in all the poles”, “I will make America great again” and “I will build a wall and Mexico will pay for it”. I would really like to hear him speak more to the American people’s issues but the new age P.T. Barnum may be just all smoke and mirrors if he cannot break himself out of the grip of self. We need a leader who will become representative of the American people if elected , not himself everyday.

    But the whining! We are going to tire of it so! All the whining!

      I assumed you meant whining and not winning? I could always change it back if not.

    I’m so ready to be exhausted by Winning.

    Who will Senator Sanders pick as his running mate? Russ Feingold white courtesy phone….

    Snowstorm predicted for Monday night in Iowa. Seemingly the only thing between Trump and a wipeout of the field.

    He future of this country might depend on a forecast given by Weather Central. The mind reels.

    My prediction? Snow and muddled. And no that isn’t a typo.

    Another subliminal endorsement of Bernie by Sen. Warren :

    http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/29/opinion/elizabeth-warren-one-way-to-rebuild-our-institutions.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

    And then this tweet , which might be a twofer in effect- elevates Bernie on morality issues as Hillary sinks :

    The next president can honor the simple notion that nobody is above the law, but it will happen only if voters demand it.
