++The dailies in New York had a field day with The Donald. Jon Stewart got his bit in and Stephen Colbert did a hilarious take on his announcement. Charles Krauthammer blasted his jingoism and Dana Millbank came down on his narcissism.
++Meanwhile is trying to peddle the same story of compassionate conservatism as his brother and told an audience in Iowa we should not politicize faith. Jeb has started his dirty campaign with attacks on Rubio and cut Hillary saying she did not achieve anything at Secretary of State and that Congressman Grady will impartially bring her to justice on #Benghazi!
++The Donald is having none of this. He slammed Jeb about bragging about raising $100 million, while "I have $5 billion." What kind of man can be President when it takes him four tries to say whether Iraq was a good or bad thing. The Donald had more to say about the Republican field ,criticizing Rick Perry "If you don't know the AC is working at your announcement, how can you claim to be able to defeat ISIS".
++A column in the Huffington Post claims The Donald like Ross Perot are post modern politicians who act on their own metanarrative. Sure, the Donald knows he is being laughed at but it doesn't affect him and he won't adjust to the criticism. The Donald believes all sorts of conspiracies but Perot did to.
++The fact of the matter The Donald resonates with people because of his over-the-top bad taste and the flip answers he has to policy questions.
++The Donald is scheduled to be in the first GOP debates. What he is clearly for is :building infrastructure; saving Social Security; and in the past he has been for a one payer type healthcare system to spare American families the devastation of healthcare costs. He may even get some tea baggers with his xenophobia but historically xenophobia has been a key element in populism.
++The Donald will be asking voters to consider different types of success. The Donald said he agreed with Bernie Sanders that this election is about billionaires. If every GOP candidate depends on billionaires,why not a real billionaire running for office?
++In the debates, the Donald has to remain the Donald and keep throwing zingers. The fact he may have a greater sense of the public than the whole GOP field. Do you want to be lulled asleep by Jeb Bush and wake up with another invasion of Iraq and a couple more Alitos on the bench.
++The Donald knows our politics has devolved to entertainment. It was a great accident of history that Barack Obama was elected twice as President. America's superego may have to yield to the ID. The Donald is uncontrollable and that makes him entertaining and like importing nitroglycerin into the GOP debates. I happen to believe he could actually shaker things up because people believe alot of what Donald does. And that will enable Republican voters to act on it.
++Those not intending to vote Republican can sit back and enjoy. Why not Opray Winfrey as Vice President,a biracial billionaire couple?
++I am actually concerned we have become a Third World Country, but not for the reasons the Donald cites. The French thought it was totally laughable that the House tried to cut off all funding for national passenger service, something unthinkable in Europe or China. The Washington Post actually posted an article that the Governor of Maryland loved the trains in Japan (I did too) but they were too expensive to build here. Since we spend hundred of billions on weapon systems, don't Americans deserve a rapid transit system.
++Throwing a hand grenade into the Republican debate on infrastructure is worth the candidacy of the Donald. What great new ideas is Jeb pushing? Besides not using his last name, Jeb is running a W campaign, promising nothing but the tired economics that brought the global economy down.
++The Donald es mas Macho que Jeb.
