Re: WTF- Trump rant
It reminds me of the old, "But I can't be racist, some of my best friends are black."
I'm surprised no one brought up this little Trump gem in the discussion, but there was also a lot of disgust with his, "I'm a negotiator like you," comment to the Republican Jewish Coalition.
(Sigh) At least he is an equal opportunity stereo-typer.
I watched it. He said tons of Jewish stereotypes. It was hard to watch.
So the new headlines are that Putin loves Trump. Do you all think this is something to celebrate?
@vlagrl29- about Putin-I agree. I'm confused with the media making it sound like a good thing.
About the Republican Party-I live in a conservative area with a lot of evangelical Christians-Trump and Cruz's prime target. It's to the point where all the white baby boomers are now posting things against the Republican "establishment" everyday. They post articles attacking Paul Ryan on Facebook just as much, if not more than, attacking Obama. I'm hoping we are just riding a wave and once the baby boomers stop voting, we'll have the Gen Xers and Millenials, who tend to be more moderate, left to bring the party back together. But if not, I see a serious split happening. I know very few Millenials who support Trump.
It's so hard to say what will happen. I don't know anyone that wants trump except maybe my parents. Haven't talked to them in awhile about politics so I don't know if that's changed or not.
Excuse my little bit of vulgarity, but this year's election reminds me so much of the "Douche vs. Turd Sandwich" South Park episode. The gist of the episode was they had to change their school mascot from the "Cows", because PITA had protested it. The school makes the mistake of letting the students decide on two choices to vote on. And the kids picked "Douche" and "Turd Sandwich".
At any rate, the episode was a not-so thinly veiled lesson about the importance of voting even when one's choices are...ahem...less than exalting.
Ahahahaha. I vote Cruz as Douche, Hilary as Turd Sandwich and Trump as Schlong Face.
But seriously, I'm super nervous for the holidays because my whole family loves Cruz and Trump and thinks Hilary is the devil. And I'm over here thinking they all suck and just don't want to get in arguments with them all.
