    DONALD TRUMP & THE DEAD ZONE

    The Dead Zone.jpg

     

    Donald Trump's campaign chair (Manaport) reported on Meet The Press that:

    "The good thing is , we have a candidate who doesn't need to figure out what's going on in order to say what he wants to do..."

    And I thought they got rid of Lewandowski because of his mouth and his assaults?

    Manaport is telling us that we do not need a President who has to at least attempt to discover the facts before he or she makes a decision?

    There must be contextual issues to this statement that elude me; else why did not Chucky Todd take Manaport to task for saying something so inane?

    Now the truth be told, I find myself being more and more of a nihilist every damn day. hahahha

    But surely our Commander In Chief needs to have meetings with the Joint Chiefs once in a while and surely the CIC might need some help from the JCs in order to get some idea as to what is going on before making some decision that might have world-wide repercussions?

    Surely our President must meet with members of his Cabinet in order that he be informed of certain developments affecting the economy or the environment or certain disasters or....

    Surely our President must keep in contact with Congress, either personally or per his representatives in order to be able to properly evaluate pending or proposed legislation?

    And how well informed is the GOP Presidential Candidate right now?
    Well my understanding is that Mr. Trump receives most of his information from TV and the Internet and Twitter

    And of course TV means FOX News and the Internet means Breitbart and Drudge and Alex Jones and.....

    Of course many think that Trump receives his info directly from God!

    This all reminds me of a 1983 flick entitled The Dead Zone.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dead_Zone_(film)

    Walken stars as a man who is in a terrible accident and suddenly awakens from a coma to discover that he can see visions of the future.

    He ends up shaking hands with a man running for the US Senate, a man played by Martin Sheen.

    Walken's character shakes the hand of the candidate and 'sees' him as President of the United states. This President begins WWIII.

    Mr. Trump really scares the hell out of me.

    Depending upon what this con artist feels following his breakfast and early Tweets; we could find ourselves in a bunch of problems.

    Thanks for including that Manafort quote, Richard.  ( "The good thing is , we have a candidate who doesn't need to figure out what's going on in order to say what he wants to do..." )  I heard him say it and I thought I had misheard it.  He's as ridiculous as Trump.  They both scare the hell out of me.  The lap dog press scares the hell out of me.  The Trump followers scare the hell out of me.  So do the Bernie followers who are so enraged they'll help Trump get elected. 

    Strange times, these.  I have no answers.  I can't imagine where we go from here.


    Oh My God....hhahahahah Somebody commented. hahahhaha

    Ramona, I kept reading all the bigger blogs waiting for someone, anyone to catch the sense or nonsense of all of this.

    Rachel or somebody will catch this sometime, I guess....

    Lap dogs....

    Thank you. At least I am not alone. hahahaha

    Oh and Bernie's real followers aint gonna vote for a lyin bastard like this Trump feller.
