Five things Paul Manafort revealed about Donald Trump yesterday
By Jack Brummet, National Affairs Ed.
Somecrazy insane absurd things Paul Manafort (Donald Trump's campaign manager and chief strategist) said about Donald Trump yesterday in an interview with Howard Fineman (formerly Newsweek, now HuffPo):
The vice presidential pick will be part of the process of proving he’s ready for the White House, Manafort said. “He needs an experienced person to do the part of the job he doesn’t want to do. He seems himself more as the chairman of the board, than even the CEO, let alone the COO.”
Choosing a woman or a member of a minority group to run as vice president, Manafort said, “would be viewed as pandering, I think.”
We shouldn’t expect to ever see Trump’s tax returns.
Trump will be elected president easily. “This is not a hard race,” Manafort said.
“Does he know enough? Yes, because he knows he has more to learn.”

Donald Trump's first dance with the presidency
By Jack Brummet, Election 2016 Ed.
If you do run, Mr. Trump, may we suggest that you sign up your old friend, the Ex-Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, as your running mate? With a double whammy like that, what could possibly go wrong?
"First, The Donald tantalized us earlier this year, and his polling numbers went--briefly--through the roof. Then he dropped out, but left the door open just a crack. Over the last few months, many of the Republican Presidential wannabes have made the trek to his office (for what--money? his blessing?). The Washington Post had a great piece on their blog in early December titled "2012 Republican are kissing Donald Trump's ring. But why?" It seems that Donald Trump, like most of the rest of the American electorate, has found Republican Clown War sorely lacking in substance, in a viable candidate, a rational platform--lacking in just about everything. Now, Trump has switched his political affiliation to "Independent," and is possibly considering running again. At least that is what some staffers and a spokesperson say. No word on how this would affect his reality show, which could be subject to equal time provisions from other candidates if he did decide to run.
From today's Christian Science Monitor:
"Given his not-too-shabby polling numbers, deep pockets, and new-found status as a registered independent, business mogul Donald Trump is in a decent position to launch a third-party run for president of the United States.
"The snark on the street is that Mr. Trump, a temperamental fellow who has toggled his party affiliation before, dumped the Republican Party on Thursday in anger after only two in the large field of GOP presidential candidates agreed to attend a debate he was slated to moderate. Some Republican hopefuls had questioned whether it was ethical for Trump to host a debate while considering a potential presidential run himself.
"A Trump spokesman, however, said his boss dropped out of the debate and changed his party affiliation "to preserve his right to run for president as an independent."

Regifted Trump election signs
By Jack Brummet
Our hero Dean Ericksen today delivered three yards of compost to our driveway. He also delivered/re-gifted four political signs that were left in his yard earlier this year.

Donald Trump's abortion position, Version 3.0/Faces #1381
By Jack Brummet, GOP-Tea Party Ed.
Donald Trump has again revised his position on abortion punishment again. He's up to version 3.0.
Earlier this week, in a town hall, he told Chris Matthews there should be "some form of punishment" for women who get abortions if the procedure is outlawed. He backed off that remark after a savage reaction from people across the political spectrum. It's a little hard to tell who he angered the most--the Democrats or Republicans. Then, the next day, he said the doctors should be punished.
On this weekend's Face The Nation, Mr. Trump says (in an excerpt broadcast Friday on CBS Evening News,) "The laws are set. And I think we have to leave it that way." In other words, he says "never mind," and takes the liberal/Demo position. There seems to be no reaction from the GOP-Tea Party so far. . .

Chris Christie's winter of regret

This quote is from a Chicago Tribune commentary yesterday on Chris Christie. They describe him standing behind Trump at his Tuesday victory speech:
This quote is from a Chicago Tribune commentary yesterday on Chris Christie. They describe him standing behind Trump at his Tuesday victory speech:
"He had the face of a man who has used his third wish and realized too late that 'may my family never starve' could be twisted to mean that the genie should murder his entire family."

JebBush.com redirects to Donald Trump's official website
By Mona Goldwater, Errors & Omissions Ed.
At some point along the road to the White House, Jeb Bush's team forgot to renew the domain jebbush.com. While their official site is JebBush2016.com, clicking on jebbush.com now takes you to Donald Trump's page. . .which Trump recently and gleefully announced. This typifies the sad arc and ending of a bumbling campaign.

Photos: Old friends, Bill and Donald Trump; Donald Trump with Hillary Rodham Clinton
It looks like Donald Trump just may target Hillary/Bill for WJC's highly suspect in my booklet, race-baiting comments in the 2008 primaries. After Obama's win, Clinton mentioned that Jesse Jackson won South Carolina's primary in 1984 and 1988 - victories that went nowhere. The remarks angered many black voters and officials in #SC who viewed it as an attempt to weaken Obama, who was, by then, Hillary Clinton's only real rival. -

28%!
By Jack Brummet
An Economist/YouGov poll last Friday showed that Donald Trump is now 28% of registered Republican voters 1st choice, up from 15% in early July.
An Economist/YouGov poll last Friday showed that Donald Trump is now 28% of registered Republican voters 1st choice, up from 15% in early July.
Why?
a) Novelty. Remember Herman Cain soared in the polls early on too, mostly for also shooting his mouth off.
b) The GOP rank and file is an aging, and slightly/largely deranged demographic.
c) They are fed up with lame candidates like McCain and Romney (although this is hardly the solution to that).
d) Sending a message to the others.
e) People love rich guys. Sure, most of the other candidates are multimillionaires, but Donald TrumpEts it.
f) They want their own, as Sarah Palin would say, "mavericky" candidate like Bernie Sanders.

Donald Trump, the man without a party (Run, Donald, Run!) re-reconsiders, and a suggestion for running mate
By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Editor

First, The Donald tantalized us earlier this year, and his polling numbers went--briefly--through the roof. Then he dropped out, but left the door open just a crack.

Sarah Palin and Donald Trump Love Fest At Pizza Joint/Trump doesn't close the door on running himself
By Pablo Fanque
National Affairs Editor
Ex-Governor Palin and Apprentice-master Trump met for lunch yesterday at a midtown pizza chain. The New York Daily News probably had the best quote on the tête à tête These two have to be making the Republicans crazy. All we can say is: Keep it up Donald and Sarah!
He also told them, apropos running for President, "If I'm not happy with what I see, I could very easily change my mind. ... I'm not happy with what I see," Trump said. "In 11 months, I'm totally free to do whatever I want to do."
ABC News quoted Trump on the Ex-Governor, "I’ll tell you she's a great woman, a terrific woman, and a great friend," and finally, he said, "I'd love her to run."
Palin praised Trump's "independence" and "willingness to speak his mind." She told reporters the two are "on the same page" when it comes to GOP candidates and issues.

Obama Vs. Trump: What a great time for the Correspondent's Dinner. We most enjoyed seeing The Donald cringing under the kleig lights
By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Editor
It was good to see The Chief tear into The Donald at the correspondent's dinner. Trump was booed and ostracized by the entire crowd, and Seth Meyers administered the coup de grâce. Trump was clearly and most deservedly pained.
BHO: “Donald Trump is here tonight. Now, I know that he’s taken some flak lately, but no one is prouder to put this birth certificate to rest than The Donald. Now he can get to focusing on the issues that matter. Like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened at Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?”
