Yeah. 

Give Drumpf his due tonight ... and get him ready for Clinton, Inc ...

WSS,

The ad would have been more effective if they'd kept Hillary out of it.  An uncharitable viewer might think the same lesson applies to her.

Trump vs. Clinton: one of the unelectable must win.

Not sure why but this link leads to a dead end.  I wonder if the article moved or was taken down.

MM,

I screwed up in the original post. I posted the title in the URL field. :) 

Oops...

I fixed it in my original post for the sake of the reader, but I left the error as it was in your posts, also so the reader would understand.

Thanks for finding another link.

Seeing Van Jones bent out of shape like this made tonight's victory by Trump all the more sweeter.

In fact, I was switching the channels earlier and caught this 8 person panel with Anderson Cooper at another moment that was quite a hoot.

After listening to a lot of pontification, Anderson said something like, "Uhm... let me see... there are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 of you acting like Trump lost tonight and only one of you like he won. I want to remind you that Trump had a blowout."

And they all looked like they swallowed a cockroach by mistake.

Man are TV pundits dorks...

Here's one of my favorite headlines from today, by Sophie Caronello at Bloomberg. The covert marketing message is that Trump can't break 50%, so he's not really winning by a majority.

Trump Set to Sweep April 26 Primaries But Not Break 50%: Chart

She even presented a chart:

04.26.2016-23.55.png

Of course, Trump got over 50% in all five states, and over 60% in two.

There goes the covert message shot to hell.

Dork...

One thing Trump might have going for him in the general election, Cruz absolutely would not, is appealing to disaffected Democrats. All the standard red state/blue state projections have a Republican at best barely winning.

The standard rubric is now the liberals and mainstream media and Democrats will tear Trump apart. But Trump is such good copy it won't work. Most of MSM is owned by big corporations. Those could care less about their underlings liberal-progressive biases for if it bleeds it leads. Trump's biggest but controllable liability is he might try to become too presidential. Presidential does not bleed. Presidential could let the MSM bugs crawl out from under their corporate rocks.

Anyway, now we'll get to see if Trump's ego will sustain him through November. Four years ago Romney crapped out.

59 years of Atlas Shrugged and we get this? Like Gail said to Dominique: you're all twisted out of shape (so I believe your under the surface purity and appreciate the super-structure ["Will you marry me"?])

The Fountainhead is a conglomeration of truths and falsehoods, the biggest falsehood--no fair to the author to call it a "lie"--is that Gail Wynand could not survive the shock of Howard Roark--necessary so Howard could get Dominique back and be the last man in the novel with an erected erection, metaphorical if not literal (it was not explained what he and she were going to do after she rode it up to the top at the end [Hawaii or right now for the impalement?]--but that's the power of great art: the reader's imagination takes over and goes pornographic if it wants to, and it will want to [with the author's blessing too boot])--but in truth Gail could have refused to cave in and attack Howard and changed his whole attitude by respecting his old attitude (that didn't work so I'll switch over to what does work) and ruin the novel.

Just to put an exclamation point on it, Trump won every county in every state last night.

Including Pennsylvania.

All five states. 
Every county.
All of it.

And this with the media, the establishment and sundry self-proclaimed ideological purists (including many in the O-Land and L-Land subcommunity) against him.

There's a message in this event for those who have not been listening.

And the message is not that so many good hardworking productive people are stupid, delusional, conned or evil.

Anyway, it will be interesting to see how many of Pennsylvania's unbound delegates will not go to Trump. And more interesting, if it happens, to see how it is justified by the various factions.

DONALD J. DRUMPF FOREIGN POLICY SPEECH

Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you, and thank you to the Center for the National Interest for honoring me with this invitation.

I would like to talk today about how to develop a new foreign policy direction for our country – one that replaces randomness with purpose, ideology with strategy, and chaos with peace.

It is time to shake the rust off of America’s foreign policy. It's time to invite new voices and new visions into the fold.  [...]

We will always help to save lives and, indeed, humanity itself. But to play that role, we must make America strong again.

We must make America respected again. And we must make America great again.

If we do that, perhaps this century can be the most peaceful and prosperous the world has ever known. Thank you.

These are the types of statements that are resonating with Trumps fans, and gaining him more and more every day:

“We will no longer surrender this country or its people to the false song of globalism...”

“I am skeptical of international unions that tie us up and bring America down. And under my administration, we will never enter America into any agreement that reduces our ability to control our own affairs."

That speech is extremely sophisticated. I doubt he wrote it but even if he didn't it matches up to him and he hired the guy(s) who did write it.

I'll try to find the text link.

Trump's boy RWR  deliver $1.75  worth of government for every $1.00  collected in taxes.  Our less than robust economic condition can be traced back the RWR administration.  Instead of tax and spend, it was spend and tax.  We spent more than we received in taxes and thus did the deficit grow and grow.
