ParticipantTrump was quoted that if he won the presidency, he will nominate Judge William Pryor and Judge Diane Sykes as Supreme Court justices. The next president of the United States will probably get to choose three new justices to the court. Hugh Hewitt, the influential conservative talk radio host, has made this argument to support Trump if he is the Republican nominee.

Hugh Hewitt is more influential among the political class, I heard.
Trump is a product of talk shows like glen beck and Rush Limbaugh. The loud squawking of tv personalities (wolf blitzer of cnn does it too). Talking about tv shows, I’m surprised that male audiences like aggressive squawking women (many peroxide blondes).
I like Hillary. I don’t mind a tough woman politician. I believe it’s subliminally sexist to dislike Hillary because she’s just like her male counterparts. Those of you who dislike Hillary, try to objectively think of the reasons you dislike her.

Participant[quote=FlyerInHi] . . . Trump is a product of talk shows like glen beck and Rush Limbaugh. The loud squawking of tv personalities (wolf blitzer of cnn does it too). Talking about tv shows, I’m surprised that male audiences like aggressive squawking women (many peroxide blondes). . . . [/quote]LOL, FIH, one of my most “Trump-fanatical” friends (Hispanic, of course) texts me almost every day with links to FOX-TV newswomen squawking loudly and at warp speed from a teleprompter. ALL of them were “peroxide blondes” (with no roots visible) and very easy on the eyes so I can see how they would appeal to male audiences. IIRC, most appeared to me to be “Southern” or “Texan” and at least one of them was so young that she must have just graduated from college very recently. I don’t remember her name but she could definitely walk it and talk it and manage to successfully incite anger in her viewers in a matter of minutes without missing a beat :=0
Edit: The texts turned out to be from a Fox News Network that I don’t have. I only get Fox 5 SD and those days are numbered if I am to believe the messages covering a lot of my channels that Cox will soon be going ALL DIGITAL.
I turned in my cable box in January of this year KNOWING it was an election year but at that time, I didn’t realize the campaigning for POTUS would become so entertaining and distracting, lol. I still won’t go to Cox and get my cable box back. I have the internet and can look at what happened during the day on Yahoo or some other sites so all is good :=)
February 28, 2016 at 1:27 PM #795096ParticipantIt seems the Fox News channel has been valiantly trying to appeal to the millenial voting base, many of whom have likely never even registered to vote. Hence, their numerous “squawking (millenial) blonde bevy of beautys” now gracing their recent newscasts and shows. They’re obviously trying mightily to expand their preferred “voting bloc.” These ladies are a breath of fresh air to the millenial red-state set as opposed Fox’s same-old, same-old gray-haired, stodgy, loudmouthed old folks who have been hanging out on the streets all these years, leaving their footprints in the concrete in front of our nation’s capitol :=0
February 28, 2016 at 2:21 PM #795098GuestBG, put an antenna in your roof.
And if you can get your brethren to share their cable/satellite passwords, you can stream most of it using a Roku. Since I maintain several homes, I save a lot money not having cable anymore. I kinda like having CNN or CNBC in the background, with the sound turned softly, of course.February 28, 2016 at 3:49 PM #795100Anonymous
Guest[quote=AN]I still don’t know what Trump would do. [/quote]
He would make America great again.
Apparently he believes that it’s not great now.
One has to question the judgement of somebody that gives noncomtal answers about the KKK. Those questions were softball.
When the gloves come off in the general election, Trump would get his ass whipped by the Clinton political machine.

Now Rubio says that Trump “wet his pants”.
Not very presidential. He just joined Trump in the gutter.[/quote]
Trump: “He {Rubio} has really large ears, the biggest ears I’ve ever seen.”
Rubio: “Trump likes to sue people, he should sue whoever did that to his face.”
Come on! Am I watching a Presidential campaign or WWF?

“Trump has small hands for how tall he is.. and you know what they say about men with small hands…you can’t trust em!”

Wow. Just wow.
February 29, 2016 at 9:50 AM #795124GuestMarco Rubio was funny in that video. Little Marco does have huge ears and a pot belly. But it’s good to see him dish some out to Trump. Too late tough. I have a feeling Rubio will lose and lose big.

ParticipantTrump serves important purpose, kind of like the Occupy and the Tea party movement, or soccer games in the rest of the world. He gives losers (socio-economic, not character reference) a chance to yell for a while, feel important and then go home thinking that they gave it all the had, came close to winning, but alas…

Little (slight) Billionaire H. Ross Perot (running as an Independent on his first run for POTUS) had huge ears and even an annoying voice but none of his opponents teased him about it. However, his infamous (WIN 3.1) Power Point Presentations mostly discussing how Federal entitlements were spiraling the National Debt out of control (which he proudly displayed and explained ad nauseam in his rallies and lengthy TV ads) were heavily dissected by his opponents in debates and in their own campaigns.
He campaigned in 16 states and spent an estimated $12.3 million of his own money. Perot employed the innovative strategy of purchasing half-hour blocks of time on major networks for infomercial-type campaign advertisements; this advertising garnered more viewership than many sitcoms, with one Friday night program in October attracting 10.5 million viewers.
Perot foreshadowed many of the same issues (if the status-quo remained) which Trump is now stating has rendered the US virtually “broken” and which need fixing and he is just the man to “make America great again.” Among several other issues, one example Perot was vociferously opposed to was the NAFTA, which had not yet been passed into law.
Based on his performance in the popular vote in 1992, Perot was entitled to receive federal election funding for 1996. Perot remained in the public eye after the election and championed opposition to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), urging voters to listen for the “giant sucking sound” of American jobs heading south to Mexico should NAFTA be ratified.

For me, there hasn’t been a general election season this fun since ’92. And this is coming from someone who spent many a (late) election night at SD Election Central (Golden Hall) in an era where humans were posted in shifts armed with giant white boards and colored white-board markers to change the results as they came in. Another bank of humans were seated to the left of the white boards in an elevated row of phones with a direct line to the Registrar of Voters Office as county polling sites’ precinct workers reported in … one by one. The local new anchors were always seated at the left of the phone bank at more elevated long tables with mics sitting on them and trapped in their folding chairs in a mess of electrical cords. The whole thing formed a big “quarter to half-circle” of mostly bleacher-type risers, much like what choirs use in church and schools. :=0
February 29, 2016 at 11:52 AM #795133GuestBG, I support nafta and tpp. Trade makes the world better.
About trump, I think it’s true about small hands on a tall guy. But he has the personality to compensate. Poor Melania. But she has an expense account to compensate.
