Steve Hayes recently referred to the Trump candidacy as a "Clown Show", to which I say "maybe". But do I need to remind you that Mr. Hayes currently scrimmages with the "Weekly Standard", a neocon rag that gives both cover and credence to some of the most buffoonish and despicable war-mongers inside the beltway (William Kristol, Fred Barnes, Charles Krauthammer, etc.)?
Yes, Trump has his flaws - NO QUESTION. But at least he doesn't have blood rupturing from his typewriter, for Christ. And, at least he's not a Bible thumper like all of the other Republican hopefuls (to some degree). Or a liar like Hillary (who said Benghazi was the result of some YouTube video when she knew it was a terrorist attack). Or a fucking socialist cocksucker (for christ!) like Bernie Sanders.
I mean, if I knew my vote for Gary Johnson would make the difference between Trump winning or losing my state? Yeah, then I think I might just pull the lever for Trump, god help me. Say what you want about Vladimir Putin, but at least the fellow has a coherent plan when it comes to Syria. And Trump is smart enough to let him take the lead there. When your enemies are slaughtering each other, I say let them.
And I must also give Trump props for his bitch slapping of that loathsome freakazoid Rosie O'Donnell. You know, I used to start fights between kindergarteners when I was a 6th grader (a 12 year-old Don King) and, so, yeah, I can kind of relate.
Anyway, while it's doubtful that I'd vote for Trump... I just might. Aside from Rand Paul, Trump is the only Republican candidate who doesn't appear hell-bent on a second cold war. Also, if the choice was Trump or Sanders, you can bet your ass I'd vote Trump given the fact that he acknowledges the fact that American workers are overpaid (and that we need to do away with the minimum wage).
Have you heard that the world's richest 62 people have as much wealth as the other half of world's population? Yeah, it's good news that inequality has become that great. So, question is... do we want to go backwards by electing a Socialist like Sanders? Or even a conservative Democrat like Hillary (who's also running on handing out free stuff)? Hell no!
