Here's Trey Gowdy trying to help Marco out with his crowds in Iowa on Dec. 29, poor thing (I got it from here).

This is a Trump thread, but I wanted to show that Marco, poor thing, can play, too. Why that space might hold all of 300 people.

My man , I would rather Trey Trey get me 300 in a room and have these folks go out and vote than get me 30,000 non voters in another state who jump up and down and chant DTs mantras and never vote in Iowa .

I want the voters .

I am starting to think Rubio-Cruz for the ticket .

When DT though throws his support to Rubio , I will probably state here that his way too early campaign against Hillary was good .

We are all on the same team here .

Republicans over Hillary , by any means necessary

This guy and his 135 IQ does not understand that he needs to win the Nomination before he lobs missiles at the Clintons .

Marc,

People been telling Trump that he does not understand for a long time...

They tend to be poorer than he is and have lower ratings...

Thought for the moment:

Hillary Clinton said that it is O.K. to ban Muslims from Israel by building a WALL, but not O.K. to do so in the U.S. We must be vigilant!

Marc:

Your boy is making moves...

In a statement, Mark Fabiani, a crisis management expert and a spokesman for Mr. Adelson, compared his purchase of The Review-Journal to those of the billionaires John Henry, who bought The Boston Globe, and Jeff Bezos, who bought The Washington Post, in recent years. Questions are always raised when a billionaire buys a paper, he said. “But over time these questions are answered, and in the end the newspapers often benefit from the financial strength that new owners provide.” For a week, Mr. Fabiani repeatedly declined to respond to questions about wheth-er Las Vegas judges were discussed during sales talks. But he said in a written statement that The Review-Journal had reported on business cases before Mr. Adelson was involved, and the newspaper did not publish any articles based on the journalists’ monitoring of the judges.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/03/business/media/sheldon-adelsonspurchase-of-las-vegas-paper-seen-as-a-power-play.html?_r=0

Going after the Judges...now this I like...

For five years, Mr. Adelson and his lawyers have frequently clashed with Elizabeth Gonzalez, the judge overseeing a lawsuit against his gambling company, which involves allegations by a former executive of bribes to officials in Macau, where it operates a casino, and the possible presence there of organized crime.

The case, which is being heard in Clark County District Court, could have significant repercussions for Mr. Adelson’s future in the gambling industry, and his high-priced legal team has fought it vigorously.

On Nov. 4, with Mr. Adelson already in talks to buy The Review-Journal, the Nevada Supreme Court rejected a request from Sands China to have Judge Gonzalez removed from overseeing the lawsuit. The company said that rulings and comments made by Judge Gonzalez in court reflected a bias against Mr. Adelson and Sands.

OMG...he appears to act like The Donald...

Someone in robes better watch out there is no equestrian sushi in bed with them one morning...

Judge Gonzalez has twice sanctioned Mr. Adelson’s team, finding that it had failed to disclose information and ignored one of her orders. Once, while Mr. Adelson was giving testimony, she admonished him for disagreeing with her when she instructed that he answer a question, saying, “You don’t get to argue with me.”

The case Judge Gonzalez is overseeing started in 2010 when the former chief executive of Sands’ operation in Macau, Steven C. Jacobs, filed a wrongful termination lawsuit, claiming he was fired for refusing to carry out orders from Mr. Adelson that he said he believed were illegal, including payments to local officials that might violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Mr. Adelson and Las Vegas Sands have insisted that they did nothing wrong and that Mr. Jacobs was fired for cause and is seeking money he does not deserve.

Adelson...

...rose to prominence in the city as the combative, litigious owner of the Sands Casino, and a political kingmaker. Forbes has estimated his net worth at about $25 billion, and he travels with an entourage of bodyguards. He is a generous backer of both local and national politicians, and puts his considerable resources toward local and national issues about which he feels strongly.

“When you have all the marbles, you can make the calls,” said Carolyn Goodman, the mayor of Las Vegas. “And he has all the marbles.”

Republicans over Hillary , by any means necessary

I am on Team Reason!

I don't want more Clintons or Bushes in the White House, and I didn't want another Trudeau at 24 Sussex. My sentimental favourite for the GOP and for the White House was born in Calgary.

My wishes are separate from outcomes. I might want a certain Bum on the Seat of Power, but reality intrudes. The candidate I voted for lost last time out. North America's greatest political showboat took over in Ottawa. He got a majority of bums in the seats, and the keys to the kingdom. I got a Syrian refugee family and a weak dollar.

Down there where Things Matter, the process of getting the bums in the seat is protracted. First you pick the tickets, then you punch the numbers. To get to that point is a four month long tournament, a torment, a Circus of Circuses. The Circus hoopla we are closely watching in this thread is Elephant Musical Chairs. It has what seems like ten thousand individual 'heats.' Music. Chairs. Elephants. Razzamatazz. Again. And again.

This circus schedule is only in the rehearsal stage now. The first real tournament performance comes February 1st, and the resulting elephant bums in seats are a relatively teeny number of thirty. The next performance of the chair dance comes a week later, and the two dances for seats show winners by February 23rd. How many Bums won? About five percent of the total to be decided.

Drip.

Me, I ain't gonna get excited till around March 15th. Why? The Magic Number.

Marc, I want you to take heed of my caution to the Fearless Leader: the best is yet to come. If you are having a Trumpgasm or a Cruzgasm or a Rubiogasm now, imagine the pleasures ahead. It will be an elephant-sized pleasure. You won't have to touch yourself. So, pace those climaxes, methinks, and don't get rubbed raw with enthusiasm.

And even then once the Ultimate Cleveland Climax comes, or spurts out in reflex around the time of the The Magic Number, the Final Elephant will have to, as you suggest, Kill Hill. The final confrontation of the donkey and the pachyderm. The tusking, schlonging, stomping. No linguistic kill-shot or death-by-poll but Death By Secret Ballot.

With that final rout in mind, a very graphic video of an Elephant Kill. Yes, the greens-eating titan is known to kill. Replace the buffalo with Cankles the Braying Clinton, and enjoy the spectacle, cruel as it may seem.

The best is yet to come, Marc. The best is yet to come. Keep it in your pants for a while like the rest of us. Go hug a Syrian refugee and check the exchange rate.

I get tickled by those who say Trump won't bring out the voters.

He took a Republican primary debate where the audience should have been 3 million tops and got 24 million people to tune in. He didn't do quite that well for the other debates, but they all hovered around 20 million.

Now, we are supposed to think that this drawing power will somehow evaporate when actual elections happen. Why? Because they are elections, dummy.

But what's so different about elections in terms of drawing power? Well... They're elections, dummy. People vote.

Don't people vote in a sense by tuning into a TV channel? Aren't they voting with their time against top entertainment shows? Man, you're such a dummy! That's different.

You mean, according to you, elections have nothing to do with reality or the public? Now you're getting it...

. . .

 

 

You know, I saw a wild animal fight video the other day and I couldn't get the image out of my mind. Nothing to do with elections. It has to do with predator archetypes and things like that I am studying.

 

But, as I ponder it, I see a perfect metaphor for this election cycle so far, albeit not one flattering to Trump image-wise.

 

Let's say the mainstream press and the establishment politicians are all "heroic" lions who love to hunt in a pack behind a leader.

 

And let's say Trump is a clunky-ass hippopotamus.

 

Here's what happens...

 

 

I've seen this story over and over during this campaign...

 

:smile:

 

Michael

 

 

EDIT: Here's an edited version of that clip that shows the kill shot a little better (oops... linguistic kill shot is Trump's thing... I meant kill bite :) ).

 

 

Go to about 3:40. It shows the bite from that big-ass hippo mouth coming out of nowhere. Then, after a few seconds, a repeat in slow motion.

 

The poor lion Dewclaw makes me think of Megyn Kelly, John McCain, Carly Fiorina, Jeb Bush, etc.... :)

Those who say "Trump won't bring out the voters" are chumps. Well, if not chumps, then pretty fuzzy communicators. "Trump won't bring out the voters" runs into W5.

When one of the fuzzies shows up here, point him out. I will tickle him with questions.

But this convo is gold, as a guide to dealing with fuzzies who don't grok 'drawing power' and have no coherent argument. The guy, I will call him Fuzzy Chump, talks with a Trump Supporter, briefly. He is coming from the point of view that Trump's 'drawing power' will be tested in elections. Not to be confused with Fuzzy saying "Trump won't bring out the voters" and not to be confused with WSS saying "Premature RubioGasm, Yo":

TS: Now, we are supposed to think that this drawing power will somehow evaporate when actual elections happen. Why?

FC: Because they are elections, dummy.

TS: But what's so different about elections in terms of drawing power?

FC: Well... They're elections, dummy. People vote.

TS: Don't people vote in a sense by tuning into a TV channel? Aren't they voting with their time against top entertainment shows?

FC: Man, you're such a dummy! That's different.

TS: You mean, according to you, elections have nothing to do with reality or the public?

FC: Now you're getting it...

I hope Michael doesn't mind if I do a Dennis Wise with this material and make it part of my OL Politics for the Blind series, which begins with The Elephant Orgasm In the Room. Soon on Soundcloud. Subject to debate on a blog! Now on PicoSong:

No , I am saying that for the primaries . Not the election . Trump has to win one of the first 2 or 3 and if he does not then a lot can change . Sure he can win after going ofer but reality would dictate that if he does not have a good start especially with how he comments on the polls every 15 minutes and his hype , hype , hype going 0 for 3 or 0 for 4 , well - I feel very strongly that he knows this too . This is the reason for the apparent big spend , its desperation and with Cruz' ground game being like a typical Pittsburgh Steelers running game - Iowa is already done . Now his whole blah blah blah campaign for a year or whatever its been , or even like 12 years cause it seems like every cycle he makes a run for Pres .

Sooooooo , my ridiculous knowledge of US politics comes down to NH . He wins it , he has to win it and then SC and Nevada . He loses NH , its done , over . This is the real issue . All those folks going to football stadiums throughout the land don't mean shit right now cause buddy lost Iowa , most probs will lose NH - its done . Its over .

Now , how do Billionaires become such ??

By not spending 2 million a week on ads with no ground game , no support like Obama had on the ground bringing 4 of 10 democrats ( I recall reading somewhere ) to the primaries .

This aint a US election right now , this is Iowa and NH and SC .

Strategic mistake , or no desire to be Pres . If its no desire , then he is doing a great job . If not , its a major strategy mistake

The lovely ladies rock Biloxi without a teleprompter. It was ragged, but look at the response. I don't know of any other political figure that is getting this from people speaking about them.

 

Also, look how many times they said "you must vote" and things to that effect. They have a movement called "Ditch and Switch" which encourages blacks to ditch the Democrat party and switch to Republican.

 

 

This is a grass-roots movement to get people to vote. It's not like an on-off switch the backroom power-brokers prefer. You just can't do that with a stampede. And stampede is exactly what this election promises to become.

 

A stampede to elect Trump.

 

And guess where I'm at?

 

Moo...

 

(That's a hell of a lot better than caw... :smile: )

They have a movement called "Ditch and Switch" which encourages blacks to ditch the Democrat party and switch to Republican.

North Carolina's internet sensation Lynette and Rochelle Richardson have a fresh webpage and pending domain name and a video for "Ditch and Switch" -- with the necessary state-by-state details therein for the party-registration switchers and new voters. Worth a close look.

Since at least one recent poll shows Trump with significant 'minority' popularity, wonks will be checking the numbers of black switchers via exit polls and updated party registration numbers as they come in. Another interesting metric.

Excerpts from a nice background on the sisters Hardaway, "Hoke County sisters 'Diamond and Silk' ride Trump campaign to Internet fame."

It's unexpected to see two black women who were lifelong Democrats support Trump. His backers are typically seen as white men of middle age or older. He is frequently accused of racism, which Hardaway and Richardson vociferously say is untrue. [...]

That means a lot in southeastern North Carolina, where Hardaway and Richardson have seen first-hand the suffering caused when factories shut down. Local communities continue to suffer while the economy improves in other parts of the country. [...]

"And I'm like, 'Oh, so people can thrive again,'" Hardaway said. "Because, as you all know, here in North Carolina there was a lot of manufacturing jobs sent overseas. Now people - a family of four is trying to make it off of minimum wage working at a McDonald's."

The sisters switched to the Republican Party in September.

If not for Trump, "I would still be a Democrat," Hardaway said. [...]

On Dec. 4, Trump came to North Carolina for a rally in Raleigh. Diamond and Silk made sure to be there. They were given VIP access.

To their surprise, they were invited on stage with him.

"Build that wall, Donald J Trump! Build it!"

Here's why the mainstream still doesn't get Trump, but still can't get enough of him.

'No s---': Donald Trump campaign dismisses fact-checking of latest ad
By Colin Campbell
January 4, 2016
Business Insider

The mainstream media, trying to play gotcha and finally get one right, took a swipe at Trump's first ad.

From the article:

Earlier in the day, the Republican presidential front-runner released his first television ad, which featured grainy footage as the narrator warned against illegal immigration on "our southern border."

But according to PolitiFact, the footage was actually from a small Spanish enclave next to Morocco.

Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski bluntly told NBC News, however, that it wasn't a mistake.

"No s--- it's not the Mexican border, but that's what our country is going to look like. This was 1,000% on purpose," he said.


The idiot mainstream press doesn't realize that this was seeded into the ad on purpose just so they would do a gotcha on it.

Thus the ad gets its normal ad time (which Trump pays for) and it gets a lot of publicity from all the articles written about this (which Trump does not pay for).

And this freebie happens at the mainstream press's expense, I might add, since Lewandowski's response to the gotcha ("No shit") has the undertone of calling it a moron.

:smile:

Elephant? Hippopotamus? WTF???

Please google donald trump eminent domain (no quotes), read the first half dozen hits, and ponder whether any animal better metaphorizes Donald Trump's attitude toward private property rights better than a JACKAL.

A jackal versus a snake? Is this the choice we want in November? I'll pass.

Roger,

On a thread this size with the average intelligence and commitment to understanding of the people who contribute, do you really think people are not aware of Trump's views (and few failed attempts) re eminent domain?

I believe it has been discussed pretty deeply on this very thread. Videos and all. If not here, somewhere on OL... but I bet here...

Come on...

Granted, we are using animal metaphors for a little fun, but this is OL, not Romper Room.

:)

The Titanic is sinking. A lady calls to a couple of guys who are playing chess, "We gotta get outta here! The ship is sinking! The Ship's Mate has prepared some lifeboats. Run!"

One of the chess players looks disdainfully at the other. "Did you hear that? The Ship's Mate indeed. That so-called gentleman put his hand on a knight the other day and took it back, then did not want to move it anymore. You should see the fuss he made. He still doesn't think he did anything wrong."

The lady, leaving, yells, "Come on, will you? Do you want to die?"

The other chess player looks up without expression and bats his eyes. "Your move, old chap."

The first player, shuddering, says, "He's a chess cheater. That's what he is. A cheat. Why should we have anything to do with a man like that? Check."

The two are never heard from again...

(Do I really need to put another crow in the pen?)
