(remember the billboard after the Olympics where a Canadian team supporter crowed “loser gets Bieber”? It’s about time to reverse that historic wrong somehow!)

(just kidding–don’t want to start a war now, especially since Bieber generally keeps away from Minnesota and doesn’t pose that much of a threat)

Trump? Blowhard who knows how to persuade cities and states to do his bidding and give him sweetheart deals that others couldn’t get. Haven’t we had enough manipulative blowhards in the White House already? And we wouldn’t get anything of value out of the deal–city after city has learned the hard way that he doesn’t keep his promises. We’d get another bankruptcy instead of a border fence and effective immigration enforcement.

The guy is a year older than me, but acts half his age.

The one thing about Trump: if he would actually do what he says he would do, re: illegal immigration from points southward, he’d accomplish far more good for America just on that issue alone than anyone else has on any issue, in some time.

Bush, however, had a touch of wisdom that is sorely lacking in his successor.

Too many years of liking someone with no chance of getting the party nomination. The two party system is designed to find incompetent suckups, IMO.

And I don’t want Trump. His use is as a demagogue. He says the things that “cannot be said”. Wouldn’t want him as a president, nope. If it ends up being Sanders and Trump, send whiskey.
