The man, whom I couldn't identify, suggested that Pence was a smart pick and Gingrich would've been a disaster.<br /><br />"Christie was livid, right?" the man said at one point. "Yeah," Manafort replied.<br /><br />Christie has made no secret that he was disappointed he wasn't chosen to be Donald Trump's running mate. "[I] don't like coming in second. Ever," Christie said Thursday. But the conversation overheard by THE WEEKLY STANDARD Sunday suggests Christie's feelings were far more intense than mere disappointment.</b><br /><br />*snort, snort*Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-11086263564163940612016-07-17T11:51:21.371-04:002016-07-17T11:51:21.371-04:00Drumpf can't go 2 minutes without boasting and...Drumpf can't go 2 minutes without boasting and bragging about himself.

Trump to share the spotlight, his formal announcement of his running mate on Saturday was it.<br /><br />Instead, his introduction of Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana was a remarkable reminder that ultimately, the Trump campaign is about one person.<br /><br />He called Mr. Pence his “partner,” but before the governor took the stage, Mr. Trump stood there alone and talked for 28 minutes, delivering a long and improvised riff that emulated his rallies instead of a traditional vice-presidential debut.<br /><br />Looking away from his notes, he talked about Hillary Clinton, terrorism, his primary victories, his crushing of a “Stop Trump” movement. Donald Trump, Mr. Trump said, understands infrastructure and how to build a border wall. He even got in a plug for his new hotel in Washington.<br /><br />After roughly 20 minutes, Mr. Trump reached for his notes. “Back to Mike Pence!” he declared, turning to Mr. Pence’s record of job creation in Indiana. Then he used the reference to the Hoosier State to remind the 150 people in attendance that he had trounced Mr. Pence’s endorsed candidate, Senator Ted Cruz, in the primary there."</b></i><br /><br />Narcissism personified.

It's just that I tend to dismiss people with a certain level of Obama Derangement Syndrome as somehow intellectually hopeless. You had a right to make your point. What I should have said was that I do not find it surprising, ironic or inconsistent that such a person would support Trump.<br /><br />Where I live, almost no one will mention his name in polite society. People in my closer circles simply shake their heads or shudder or express their depth of disgust. Even children. It can be a little bit dicey to discuss politics at all with a typical male chauvinist conservative. It seems that these guys, while frightened to confess to voting for Trump, would much rather be bitten by a powerful dog than ever see another Clinton in the White House.Flying Juniorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098313953658606206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-45847884414397476922016-07-17T08:27:44.491-04:002016-07-17T08:27:44.491-04:00I'm not convinced that the BB-Idaho comments a...I'm not convinced that the BB-Idaho comments are really here because he submitted them.

That label didn't fit GWB either.<br /><br />When he got elected in 2008, I used to call him President Moses, because he would lead his people out of darkness. Remember the song, <i>Electric Avenue</i>? Here was my little song of victory:<br /><br /><i>Don't you know we're going to rock on down, Barack Hussein Obama? Then we'll take you higher. (repeat)<br /><br />You wanted Hillary Clinton, I share your love for her!<br /><br />Don't you know we're going to rock on down, Barack Hussein Obama? Then we'll take you higher. (repeat)</i><br /><br />Narcissistic? I expected more from you.<br /><br />Yes, we do hope that the element that rejected Trump will be able to pull together the fragments of the republican party such as exist. Why not? It's worth a try.<br /><br />I, for one, will dearly miss president Obama. He has been so wonderful to us. He has been so valuable to me. Stevie Wonder in the White House? God bless America. Sadly, he has been called to be either the Comforter-in-Chief or perhaps, Pastor Obama. At least he forestalled the eventual destruction of the world.Flying Juniorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098313953658606206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-78322250853550256292016-07-16T23:03:32.174-04:002016-07-16T23:03:32.174-04:00Anon @8:44.

In other words, a couple of a** wipes. Fitting.”<br /><br />So yeah, Trump stepped in “it” again. Obama’s logo it is not, and Trump even managed to out-do Jeb Bush, taking the opposite tack of Jeb’s attempt to draw attention away from what he is. Rather, Trump seems to be embracing it.<br /><br />It is hardly a surprise that after being unveiled Friday, the new logo was replaced Saturday minus the violation of Pence’s “P.”<br /><br />Trump has never seemed to take his campaign seriously, and the unintentional comedy of his logo rollout certainly hasn’t helped change that perception."</b> <br />Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.com
