Donald Trump's menstruating campaign

I don't know how large the voting bloc is in this country for those not easily offended but apparently it's quite sizeable. The more Donald Trump offends the more he surges in the polls. One week Trump insults Mexicans then El Chapo the drug lord and then it's on to John McCain and finally we have Fox News host Megyn Kelly as the target of his gigantic and egocentric wrath. There has to be some sort of Howard Stern demographic at play here. Trump is single-handedly destroying political correctness in this country which is a good thing and I'm all for but how he's doing it!!! Roger Stone his campaign advisor who just quit but sounds like he wants to get back on board appeared on the Today show this morning and said he wants Trump to get more into the Reagan mold which I take to mean more dignified and stately for God's sake and to talk more about the bigger issues and his policy positions rather than getting into these once a week side squabbles. Then there's Marco Rubio who recently touted his position against abortion in ALL circumstances. At a time when liberals are desperately trying to Sasquatch those excellent and professional imo undercover sting videos against PP Rubio has to bring up rape and incest non-exceptions which is the #1 topic (and #2 and #3 and #4) pro-aborts just love to talk about. Christie just sounds angry all the time like this is gonna play in Peoria. IF it does come down to Hillary vs. Trump in the end I'd have to do the right thing and vote for the Donald but in the meantime he's making us conservatives nervous like when your slightly buzzed uncle comes over for a very important family gathering. Is there some kind of pill he can take?

  1. Are you asking about the slightly buzzed uncle, or the Donald? If it's the Uncle, do the calcs and give him the Sominex...

    The Donald? Maybe he needs a dose of Midol...

  2. It'd probably be sexist and un-pc of me that in my view Fox hired Megyn Kelly because she's eye candy.

  3. Some folks see Trump as the epitome of a successful businessman, since he started with only $200 million and grew it to 10 billion over the years. Curious, I ran the numbers: If he had put that in the stock market and gone fishing, he would have
    made 9.7 billion. Which takes no acumen or even time. Were he a BB type, he would have arranged to put $50 million a year into his account and ended up with
    $38.3 billion. All that fishing and no bankruptcies. Given his ego and seeming arrogance, it is surprising that so many t-pee-ers are attracted. I can understand
    the 49% that are repelled and ponder why it is so low.

  4. One can imagine Trump insulting St. Peter at the pearly gates if he gets that far.

  5. RE: "more dignified and stately for God's sake" ..in otherwords, he lacks gravitas.
    while overflowing with insouciance. Throw in a ton of megalomania and a disconcerting hostility to criticism pretty much defines the man. Apparently, depending on their brain type, he attracts and repels observers with his gusto.

  6. Doing some googling today and apparently Donald Trump doesn't know what position to take on PP. No waffling though on Mexican immigrants, John McCain and Megyn Kelly.

    1. Kind of unusual; Trump held quite liberal social and even tax views for many
      years. Maybe he didn't want to sound like Bernie S.?

    2. Yeah Donald Trump the anti-abortionist doesn't quite wash. He'd rather talk about Rosie O'Donnell and maybe a Cuban golf course/casino than fetal parts.

      Delete
    3. I think the possible stroking here of PP is his way of trying to appeal to women without apologizing to Megyn Kelly.

    1. Dunno, she admits to one by self manipulated coathanger at age 14. The record may be- "In his book Marilyn, Norman Mailer wrote that Monroe's photographer, Milton Greene, says that Monroe had at least 12 abortions by the time she was 29." Among starlets, the practice goes way back into the
      1920s (CCS-casting couch syndrome?) Ava Gardner (2), Rita Hayworth,
      Judy Garland, Joan Collins, Lucille Ball, Penny Marshall, Vanessa Williams,
      Senta Berger, Jean Harlowe, Chris Evert, Shelly Winters (2), Tanya Roberts,
      Lana Turner (2) Billie Jean King, Lee Grant, etc. Margot Kidder self-aborted
      by drinking Lysol, barely surviving & some say Madonna had 11. Better censure your Netflix.

    2. Interesting and they can't plead the usual poverty/economic hardship line. Starlets who've had abortions and those who haven't, I'm guessing which list is the longer.

  11. I think Trump made a mistake with his waffling on PP. He was slowly but surely building up a conservative base willing to overlook his personality disorders. Watch the slow flameout begin.

    1. "On Tuesday night, the Republican presidential front-runner defended the women's health services provider in an interview on Fox News' Hannity. Trump noted that abortion was a "fairly small part" of what Planned Parenthood does and that "we have to look at the positives also for Planned Parenthood."
      "They do good things," he said, interrupting interviewer Sean Hannity's question." The Trumpster must not be a Hannity fan.

      Delete
    2. If any other candidate said this I'd believe 'em. He came up with this idea in his man cave: instead of apologizing to Megyn Kelly and appeal to women this way he decided to support funding the 3% abortion provider (maybe cut a check?).

  15. I think I just had one of them Columbo moments (hand to head, cigar in mouth). Trump wants illegal Mexican babies aborted.

    ReplyDelete
  16. It makes sense. If there's one thing Trump hates more than an illegal Mexican immigrant it's a pregnant illegal Mexican immigrant. "Shut the gov't down over PP, what was I thinking???"

    ReplyDelete
  17. The issue makes ya ponder-
    "More than seven in 10 U.S. women obtaining an abortion report a religious affiliation (37% protestant, 28% Catholic and 7% other), and 25% attend religious services at least once a month.[38] The abortion rate for protestant women is 15 per 1,000 women, while Catholic women have a slightly higher rate, 22 per 1,000"
    (that last stat compares with Mexican Catholic women, who are jailed for 20 years
    for even having a miscarriage) and on it goes-
    "Non-Hispanic black and Hispanic women have higher rates of abortion (40 and 29 per 1,000 women aged 15–44, respectively) than non-Hispanic white women do (12 per 1,000" ..even the geographical demographics are confusing:
    "In 2008, the abortion rate was highest in the Northeast (27 abortions per 1,000 women), followed by the West, the South and the Midwest (22, 18 and 14 per 1,000, respectively" ...and income level plays a significant role:
    "Women with family incomes below the federal poverty level ($18,530 for a family of three) account for more than 40% of all abortions.[32] They also have one of the country’s highest abortion rates (52 per 1,000 women). In contrast, higher-income women (with family incomes at or above 200% of the poverty line) have a rate of nine abortions per 1,000, which is about half the national rate." Maybe Trump can
    figure it all out.

    1. This sexual ocean we're swimming in with so many dead fetuses floating by, imo the PP philosophy kind of guarantees it being a kind of social constant.

    2. Considering this year as typical in the US, we note:
      4.4 million pregnancies
      PP abortions 204,557
      Other abortions 681,664
      Miscarriages 900,000
      The logical focus might be directed at the larger problem: self abortions,
      back ally jobs, and God, who believers must think terminated the most?

    3. I think at its root pro-choicers have a fundamental philosophical disagreement with God about sex. They feel it should be without consequences, the Creator obviously felt otherwise, thatthe Act should have a certain gravitas.

      Delete
    4. Could be. We suppose others have a fundamental disagreement with the
      creator's invention of gays? Whether one perceives our situation in the universe as a natural occurrence or a special and specific creation, it is
      a situation rife with contradictions and mysteries. Lemmee know what the
      Pope and Neil deGrasse Tyson come up with.

    5. "The act with certain gravitas" reminds of Salmon: swim a thousand miles upstream, scatter your seed and expire. For youse Yonker guys,
      dat would be 4000 ft. up in da Adirondacks at Feldspar Brook.

    6. I also think for some reason (psychological?) that once you legalize something it becomes more common. I think most early pro-choicers honestly didn't think abortion would become THIS common. The idea was to get it out of the back alley not to make it into a social hobby.

      Delete
    7. You think legalizing marijuana would make it more common? Actually
      abortion numbers have been declining, although slowly. I thought the
      BC pill would eliminate the problem.

      Delete
    8. You dove into my next point. Yes I do think pot would become more common if legalized. Folks might opt for a toke over a highball in the evening after a hard day's work. There's just something about legalization - curiosity, availability - but most of all the moral stigma gets weakened once you legalize after all if it's legal it can't be wrong.

      Delete
    9. The abortion #'s have been declining but hovering around 1 million per year still fits my definition of a common social practice. I too thought the bc pill would make the abortion debate so yesterday but here we are still discussing. Sexually and personally speaking the idea of a dead fetus destroys eroticism for me. STIs don't help either.

  18. "Oh, I love Donald Trump because he exposes everything about the Republican Party that I have frankly come to hate. It is just filled with people who are crazy, and stupid, and have absolutely no idea of what they are taking about. And the candidates, no matter how intelligent they may be, just constantly have to keep pandering to this lowest common denominator in American politics."

    1. He's on jury duty today , He ignored it five times in the last nine years, but
      being a candidate now, it presented a good PR opportunity. Donald as a
      juror would just change the alphabetic arrangement and announce about
      the accused, "You're Fried!". Kind of a unique primary season, Trump,
      Carson & Fiorina have never held public office of any kind. We suspect
      many voters are tired of professional politicians...and recall that Hitler
      never held public office of any kind before becoming chancellor of the Reich.
      Think of it, Z-Man, if never having held office is the main qualification for
      president, there are 317 million of us who would make good presidents!

  20. From the blogs (Infidel753) today:
    "Two brothers in Boston reportedly urinated on a homeless Latino man and then beat him with a metal pole, leaving him with a broken nose and other serious injuries. When arrested, they justified themselves by saying "Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported." (Reports don't say whether the victim was in fact an illegal alien, a US citizen, or a legal resident -- not that the thugs could have known anyway, and not that their actions would have been any less evil even if he had been an illegal.)
    That would be bad enough, but what is really shocking here is Trump's reported comment when told of the attack:
    "It would be a shame," Mr. Trump said, before adding: "I will say that people who are following me are very passionate. They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate."
    Holy shit!
