Re-think it all again. Yes, it is ref...Well, Gus? Re-think it all again. Yes, it is refreshing to have someone out there saying what others won't. And that's all very well and good for spirited debate and the re-awakening of all topics and obvious realities that should be discussed that aren't any longer. But right now, all Trump is, is stroke-off porno, and NOT reality. He knows what he wants, but has absolutely no idea of what the rule of law is, has absolutely no practical idea about how to get it done, how to get it done Constitutionally, other than by Executive Fiat. Obama, anyone? The Des Moines Register succinctly labeled him a feckless blowhard. Ideas that are resonant - yes, but neither the knowledge, nor creativity to carry them through - either responsibly or legally.<br /><br />However, and as much as it pains me to say this? We need a candidate with political wiles, a politician - if you will. If you (and I) like this much "reality" talk? Chris Christie, in that case. There are well-described legal, political and constitutional pathways that need be utilized to put our ideas into play. A political process. We condemn Obama's dictatorial style of late, and so we should for Trump's own penchant for the same style of governance. Britt Hume said, "successful politics is the science of addition." Trump is now descending into the politics of subtraction. In many of his recent blabberings, and criticism of other GOP candidates, he displays an appalling lack of understanding of both existing laws and the Constitution. Appalling. Maybe that's fine for you, but do you want to substitute Emperor Obama for Emperor Trump? Really?<br /><br />On "Heroes". Yes. I agree. Way over-used now. Every flag out there on a civic front yard even now gets lowered if so much as flea or mosquito dies in the preparation of a holiday backyard barbecue. And hey - what of the White House refusal to lower its flag in the wake of the recruitment station shootings and deaths? Oh, well - it's just another incidence of "Workplace Violence", rather than an example of "Islamic Terrorism".<br /><br />However, in John McCain? I think not. I can't see him anything other than a "HERO". Is John a RINO? Yeah, sure. Certainly in politics. But NOT to be questioned as a "hero" in his service record, which need be respected, I THINK. He was the son of a US Admiral. He was of incredible value to his captors. He REFUSED to recognize his value for their profit OR his own, and RECOGNIZED his value as being beneficial for his country and the plight of his fellow detainees. Early on, he could have acquiesced and been on the deck of an aircraft carrier in 30 minutes. Instead, he chose 5 long years of torture instead. He was a very valuable pawn, and placed himself, as such; in service of not only his country, but for his fellow detainees as well. Sorry, Donald!!! That's a Patriot!!! That's a hero!!!<br /><br />Donald is just so fucking ignorant and stupid. Oh - that's right - he's a "feckless blowhard".Dave Labuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18008650891183573083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095750659102120237.post-42732564779153842015-07-21T07:04:00.050-05:002015-07-21T07:04:00.050-05:00I agree 1000 percent Gus.

Trump talks about things no one else wants to talk about. I like that. I also like his response to the reporter even more.Big Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185883277690070163noreply@blogger.com
