Trump drives agenda while Hillary hides behind jokes
2016-08-25
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Never in modern American political history has a more issue-oriented, serious candidate for president faced off against a more dishonest, platform-less, self-absorbed celebrity who is cashing in on ill-gotten wealth and fame despite serious concerns about mental and physical health.

The man all about issues, of course, is real estate developer Donald Trump. From the day he announced for the presidency, Mr. Trump has set the agenda.

In the primary, establishment Republicans would have been perfectly happy to just talk about proper politician temperament and nibbling around the edges of arcane education policy. Who has the best hair and most diverse looking families. Whose name sound the most Hispanic.

Mr. Trump crashed that party and declared that the primary would not be just another beauty pageant. It would be about securing the border to stop illegal immigration, tracking down and killing terrorists before they get into the United States and jump-starting the domestic economy.

Woven through his concrete policy positions was a new mantra of “America first,” both in terms of foreign policy and economic trade. This would mean an end to bipartisan military entanglements that do not directly strengthen the USA and the abandonment of trade deals that do not directly benefit America.

'I just think he is a f***ing idiot': Cher compares Donald Trump to Hitler

  • Compared him to the murdering child in the 1970s film, The Bad Seed

  • She later added: 'He doesn't mean we want to make America great again. He means we want to make America straight and white'

#3  I used to really admire Sonny Bono. He was a great song writer and an astute businessman who later on won election as the mayor of Palm Springs and then to the US Congress. During the first year of their TV show back in the 1970's they were one of the most compelling acts in the business. The show was a raving success. You'd think that a strong and intelligent woman would have seen the wisdom in sticking with it and working to resolve whatever issues Cher might have had with the man. But she bailed right at the pinnacle of their career. We could argue all day about how raising their daughter without a father affected the child's development. But I don't think there can be any argument whatsoever about who was the brains of that operation.

#1  Yeah and Cher can be compared to the evil mother in "Mommy Dearest." It is good to shut your pie hole at times so that ALL doubt is not removed. C'mon, you are an aging singer; stick to singing--kick back and enjoy your retirement and quit shilling for evil.
