Stucky Hops Aboard The Trump Train !!!

So, there’s the headline on Drudge this morning– “TRUMP MANIA SWEEPS PHOENIX NEW ‘SILENT MAJORITY”.

Sooooo … what the hell … maybe I should listen to this asshole before I just dismiss the billionaire insider? So, I did. Listened to the whole thing. You can also – in the background, while doing other stuff. Or, skip around and listen to random clips. Here are my observations;

—– No Teleprompter! Not even any notes.

—– Actually has a good sense of humor … a good story teller

—– You get the feeling he talks TO you … not AT you, so unlike the HNIC

—– He considers EVERYONE a “great guy” … even Al Sharpton … just before he skewers them …. it’s funny

—– BIG disappointment, he said —- “We have to build up our military.” Ughhh!!

—– Hates Common Core

—– “I love Mexican people … thousands have worked for me …. I love legal immigration …. My wife is an immigrant …. It’s they’re leaders, they’re too smart and we have stupid leaders.”

—– Somewhat egotistical … “I’m really smart” and “I’m really rich.” …… BOO!!! ….. BUT, when you hear it in CONTEXT it’s not nearly as “offensive” as seeing the stand-alone quote …. he also has a small dose of self-deprecating humor

native advertising

—– At the 29 minute mark Trump gives the microphone to a black man .. who tells a story about how an illegal immigrant murdered his son …. He said “for the first time in seven years I have hope” …. The Donald let this guy have the microphone for ten minutes …. Trump listened intently, not hurrying the guy along ……… it was a very very good move.

—– The MOST amazing aspect of the 70 minute speech? Not even ONE fucking promise of Free Shit. Not. One.

Bottom Line:

I still have big concerns about The Donald. He’s still too militaristic. He thinks Snowden is a traitor. He simplifies very difficult issues down to a Nike-like slogan – Just Fix It. Then there’s the question of how much of an “insider” he really is … and how beholden he is to TPTB. That’s for starters.

However … I AM going to LISTEN to what he has to say from here on out. If you told me I would do that just YESTERDAY … I would have told you that you’re full of shit, followed by “Blow Me”. But, that was yesterday ……

As far as Trump and global warming.

We’re back to an ice age soon.

Summary:
A new model of the Sun’s solar cycle is producing unprecedentedly accurate predictions of irregularities within the Sun’s 11-year heartbeat. The model draws on dynamo effects in two layers of the Sun, one close to the surface and one deep within its convection zone. Predictions from the model suggest that solar activity will fall by 60 per cent during the 2030s to conditions last seen during the ‘mini ice age’ that began in 1645.

There is an Ivy League grad who has spent most of his life in Manhattan, where he is chauffeured around in limousines. He frequently brags to strangers about his massive personal wealth. In public statements, he has advocated government healthcare, a woman’s right to an abortion, an assault weapons ban, and paying off the national debt by forcing rich people to forfeit 14.25 percent of their total wealth. When the man married his third wife, he invited Bill and Hillary Clinton to the wedding, and he has given many thousands to their political campaigns and their foundation. He’s donated many thousands more that helped elect Democrats to the Senate and the House. And George W. Bush was “maybe the worst president in the history of this country,” the man said in 2008. “He was so incompetent, so bad, so evil.”

On paper, this is not someone you’d expect to excel in the 2016 Republican Party primary. But Donald Trump is excelling. Thanks to his celebrity, a few epic flip-flops, and his willingness to pander to the most xenophobic element of the GOP’s base, the real-estate developer and reality-TV star is polling near the top of the field. While he is unlikely to win the nomination, he may well appear at the presidential debates and continue to tarnish the GOP brand in the eyes of Hispanic voters. “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,” Trump said during his official announcement. “They’re sending people that have lots of problems. And they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists, and some, I assume, are good people.”
