JESUS H. CHRISTIE
GOV. BACKS TRUMP!
These were some of the headlines today on the Huffington Post website after last night’s debate. Christie is backing Trump. This comes right after Marco and Ted tag-teamed Trump, unloading insult after insult on The Donald at Thursday’s political food fight.
It is pure entertainment, and I’m loving it.
Today, on the political “Days of Our Lives” saga with it tight twists and turns and no ending in sight, the New Jersey guy said in an endorsement and with a straight face that The Donald would provide “strong leadership” and “create jobs for this country.”
Really, and on what planet, sir? …. Sorry, go ahead.
“There is no one who is better prepared to provide America with the strong leadership it needs than Donald Trump,” Christie said to stunned silence. “He’ll provide strong unequivocal leadership [and] create jobs for this country.”
“Trump is rewriting the playbook of American politics,” Christie added, saying he’s prepared to do everything he can to help Trump win in November.
Could this be just Christie’s way of getting payback for the political thrashing and the embarrassment of a short-lived, political campaign? Just saying.
I honestly thought Christie would make his remarks today and turn to The Donald and say, “You just got punked!”
I don’t think I was alone. The Huffington story stated Christie made his remarks to “stunned silence.”
People were apparently also waiting for the punchline that never arrived.
Christie, who is unpopular in New Jersey, will bring his 3,000 supporters to the Trump table.
Bust out the Buffet and party hats.
The TV Pundits Are Up
The TV Drama Queens and Blow-Dried Boys are on full throttle this morning, fired up and ready to go.
Wow, with the Republic political world was rattled hard this morning, there is so much material for the T.V. pundits to savor and mull over.
It doesn’t take long for them to dig deep where the sun don’t shine – where Captain Kirk has yet to venture — to pull out all the wild speculation.
The so-called TV self-appointed and self-anointed sophists, a.k.a talking heads, will also be trying to squeeze every inconceivable meaning to explain why Trump is doing so well in the polls and what others have to do to get more votes.
Also, they will offer suggests on what the other candidates can do to appeal to the young, poor, white women, taco stand venders, dog catchers, people who shop at Wal-Mart, casino workers, Blacks, cab drivers, Shinto high priests, Indian chiefs, cops, gays, pimps, the homeless, mariachis and a myriad of other “special interest” groups.
The so-called “roundtables” at the different TV stations will summon the usual political hacks, “experts,” soothsayers, media whores and of course, the reporters traveling with this circus.
Start the wild and unabated speculation — explain to unsophisticated viewers the philosophical meanings, the hard-edge suspense, the political nuances, the timely insults and of course, the gutter politics.
This is what it’s starting to look like in TV Land’s roundtables — (Cue David Bowie’s Space Oddity):
Perky TV roundtable host Trisha asks: “Nancy, What does Bernie have to do to get a bigger chunk of young voters?”
“Well, Bernie has to pull a rabbit out of his ass, I feel. Young people are easily entertained and have a short attention span. It has to be a cute white rabbit. Got forbid if Bernie pulls out a bunny. Can you imagine the animal rights groups? Bernie will lose those votes.”
What about Hillary, Brandon?”
“Hillary needs a Janet Jackson Super Bowl moment. Yeah, a wardrobe malfunction on stage. Accidentally, let a boob just hang out. I know, she isn’t Janet Jackson. But if you are an undecided voter when you go to the ballot box that clothing malfunction will stick out in your mind. So, it will be Hillary that you will vote for because it’ll be the last candidate you remember. Facts and issues are meaningless.”
“Keith, what advice would you give Marco Rubio?”
“Marco should offer to carpet-bomb Texas and rid the country of a lot of rednecks and old pickup trucks. Voters will love it, and the rest of the country would rid itself of a lot of ugly, useless things. It’s a win-win. Sure, Marco will lose Texas voters. But So what? He’s going to lose Texas and his home state Florida also. Besides, Texas governor Greg Abbott wants Texas to leave the union and form its own Republic with its own redneck militia and navy in case it’s attacked by Mexico.”
“Clara, how can Ted Cruz get more evangelicals on his side?”
“Ted needs to go on the 700 Club like Trump did and make a heartfelt plea for the evangelical vote. Offer himself as a political sacrificial lamb to Pat Robertson and his viewers. Someone willing to die for the transgressions of the leftwing lunatic fringe. Sprinkle some Bible verses. They love it. As a Christian, Ted could hit a home run if, once he is elected, he promises to forgive and a pardon to Hillary, not deport Obama and give him a U.S. citizenship while striking down, with the help of the Lord, every piece of garbage, executive order the Kenyan passed while in the White House.”
“Trump is way ahead according to the polls. What can he do to get more Latinos on his side, Morgan?”
“Trump needs to continue being Trump. A nasty bully and bigot and just keep shoveling out the manure that his followers eat up because of the way its packaged and it’s fact-free. They love it. But Trump needs to broaden his base and really appeal to Latinos by telling that, if he is elected, he will not deport grandmas and children under five. Also allow Mexico to pay for the wall in an installment plan with a low interest rate, say 10 percent, compounded annually.”
“Laura, what about Kaisich and the black doctor, what’s his name? What now?”
“Kaisich and that other clown, Carson, stick a fork in them. They’re done.”
Seriously, It’s not complicated, folks
Trump’s popularity is basic economics: Supply and demand.
If there weren’t a healthy appetite in this nation for the hatred and racism that Trump is spewing, there wouldn’t be a Donald Trump or others like him.
The best way to gauge all this is that many whites are terrified of the changing demographics, and Trump represents the best political vessel to channel their fears along with the paranoia of losing power to what they perceive as outsiders who want to take things from them.
