Donald J Trump

Now, a commercial break: I wonder what LJAD feels about pretty women.

 

Yeah, I was just browsing through Google pics of Ivana & Marla. Marla's getting a bit long in the tooth, but not as bad as Ivana.

I had a gf who was 5 foot nothing(160cm)...Good things do come in small packages.

 

The Peanut Gallery chooses not comment on this one...Which is probably a wise decision on my part.

 

Good for you. I get emotionally blind below 165 (5ft 5 in). The tallest I've ever encountered was Hungarian Evi - full 190 cm (6ft 3in) of beauty. Unforgetable. :adored: :twohearts: :adored:

PS: May I make you an advice: take a week or two holidays in East Europe. You'll never regret.

 

I've been wanting to get over to any parts of Europe for a while...Disposable income has been the problem.

 

that's only half a salute for you, you need to put the other half of the picture up to get the rest of the salute

 

One should be suspicious about pretty women :they do not chose a pretty man,but they pick a rich man

 

Do you think that I was that stupid to count them ?

 

No...I don't think you saw them.

Proof please.

 

Ah the newly ratcheted up debate between left - right. With the centrist moderates quietly watching. Our debates are taking us nowhere fast - I mean - throughout our once proud but recently battered "Good Old USA (and Allies, might I add and thanks for standing with us during difficult times!!).

My Christmas, Holiday message echoes JFK's immortal words. " Let us not look for the Democratic answers or the Republican answers; Let US look for the best answers to our opportunities". That's not the exact words he used but that's the jist.

As for Trump, hmmmm, does he remind anyone else of a young T.R? Making tons of enemies while making a popular base of friends. The establishment will continue torpedoing his campaign from every angle, look for major mud to emerge by the convention if not sooner. Using the term mud to prevent more colorful language from entering the stump..

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah and all that.

 

exactly..I've always said I'm not conservative, liberal Dem or Repub.--but American....I am for what is right, just and common sense...people vote for what their party votes for, not what they think is right....how absurd!...

 

He doesn't remind me of T.R. Teddy was a real man, soldier, outdoorsman. Trump tries to talk the talk, but don't walk the walk. What do you expect from a businessman turned reality TV personality. BTW, reality TV, IMHO, is one of the things I think is destroying our culture. Dumbing down the viewers and making a bunch of dysfunctional drama queens look like the social accepted norm.

 

Never mind husband - the point is that she's pretty and has enough money. That just reduces overall costs of the pleasure 'knowing' her.

 

Trump and Sanders are not the problem, but rather the symptoms of the problem. Note I said Sanders and not Clinton, not because i like/respect her, but because they represent the two opposite ends of the political spectrum's that we must live with. Clinton and the remainder of the GOP roughly equal each other as 60%+- of there respective parties, while Trump and Sanders equal the remaining 30%+-.

The real problem is that we must get our candidates through the party nomination process, that in both cases represents no more than a third of the actual electorate in each camp at best. Anywhere from a third to half the electorate identify themselves as either center right, center left or independent. If two or more of these groups swing a certain way, somebody gets elected. Unfortunately this 'center' has no party, but must choose from the other two.

Worse the nomination process skewers to the more extreme ends of each party. That is why every election cycle they talk about how the nominee must now pivot toward the center when up to that time they courted the more extreme ends. Normally the extreme fringe candidate can never gain enough traction to matter as in the case of Sanders, but within the GOP there are too many candidates and Trump's 30% makes him look like a giant among pygmies.

So far Trump has defied all laws of political gravity, but I still think he will fall short. As it stands now he will lose Iowa and though still strong nationally, he is beginning to lose ground. Most likely it will be Cruz, Rubio or Christie in that order. I can live with any of them over Trump, or Clinton for that matter. if it is Clinton the republic will endure as it always has. I might remind all that when Bush 43 was running many uber liberal's said they would flee to Canada in the million's, Arch conservatives said the same about Obama.

last time I checked Canada had no massive influx of disgruntled American's.

 

Opposite to what some people here are thinking,Trump is not an idiot : he is leading the dance and the others are following him :you can't stump the Trump /

DT is sly, sneaky and cunning:the ideal presidential candidate .

He is using old but well-tried techniques

1) Whipping up the white vote,because that's the big potential republican reservoir.:there are the voters abandoned by the Democrats and by the Liberal Republicans

2) He dominates the media,without spending a lot of money : till december he spent $217000 ,while Jebb wasted $ 16,969,000 and is broken .

3) He is setting the agenda by using the "truthful hyperbole"

4) He appropriates the theme and frames the discussion:last week he proposed to ban the Muslims and the media talked about nothing else,and no one paid attention when Obama was obaming from the White House ;The issue of Islam and terrorism is now Trump's .

5) he is maximalising his negotiating position : he knows that it will be impossible to expell all 12 million illegals and to ban the Muslims,but,if he is elected, he will be able to expel 3/4 million illegals and to obtain a screening of Muslims who enter the country .

Not bad for an idiot .

Will he get the nomination ? Will he become president .? Future will tell us,but meanwhile I have a good time when I see the panic of the Liberal establishment .

 

Check what happened to the UKs resident 'Man Of The people' Nigel Farage at the last election. All the polls had him as the kingmaker in the new Parliament with a sizable block of MPs and perhaps the second biggest party.
In the end he got I MP and is now a complete irrelevance.

 

Trump is not a idiot by any means, no one who makes and keeps so much money could be, but is he a serious candidate?

My take is he took this on as a lark and to expand his brand, like the dog who caught the car he chased, he doesn't know quite what to do now other to hold on tighter.

 

Cameron would disagree : who is forcing Cameron to hold a referendum about Europe ?

 

What kind of referendum?

 

Whether or not to stay in the European Union.
