margaret and helen: trump is a chump

Trump is a chump.

Margaret, the media keeps reminding us that two-thirds of Americans think that the nation is headed in the wrong direction. Of course, they never seem to tell us what direction that is. Why are we assuming that it means we are unhappy with Obama? Considering there are more registered Democrats than Republicans and 37% of the population is not white, do you think – just maybe – that a good portion of that percentage actually thinks the nation is headed in the wrong direction because of Republicans? And considering she is wiping the floor with Trump in the polls, exactly why do we keep beating the dead horse that Hillary is so unlikable? I happen to like her… a lot.

Trump received 13 millions votes in the Republican primaries. That’s more than any Republican has ever received. Ever. Wow. That seems like a big deal. No wonder the media covers Donald Trump like ducks on a June bug. Except for one thing… Hillary Clinton got 16 million. Hell, Bernie Sanders got almost as many votes as Donald Trump. And yet, the current polls are big news because Donald Trump is behind? If you think about it, the only big news is that Donald Trump is still big news. That and the fact that some people still want to vote for him. Well that’s the liberal media for you. Considering Fox News has as many viewers as CNN and MSNBC combined, this liberal media bias bullshit is just that… bullshit. The reason that news coverage of Donald Trump is so negative is because there isn’t anything positive to say about Donald Trump.

It’s not what you know, but who you know. My late husband used to say that. In truth, it’s what you know about who you know that really matters. We’ve now known Hillary Clinton in the political world for 30+ years. We’ve known Donald Trump in the political world for one year. So what have we learned? After one year, we have learned that Donald Trump:

Makes fun of the disabled

Is a misogynist
Doesn’t understand why we haven’t used nuclear weapons if we have them

Used lawsuits to stiff small businesses
Thinks it’s a good idea to argue with parents who have lost a child to war
Thinks women who have abortions should be punished
Is proud of his penis and gets defensive when it’s size is questioned
Thinks President Obama founded ISIS- an organization started before Obama was a Senator much less President
Makes fun of the disabled
Didn’t realize Russia invaded the Ukraine but when pressed said it was a good thing
Is good at business but better at bankruptcy
Discussed the idea of dating his own daughter because she’s his type

Wishes people at political rallies would be allowed to beat one another up when they disagree
Makes fun of the disabled
Doesn’t consider American prisoners of war to be heroes because they were captured
Doesn’t know what the KKK is and therefore really isn’t sure if he should decline their endorsement

Makes fun of the disabled
Wants a litmus test for what it means to be an American
Doesn’t believe in the separation of church and state
Wishes he was black today because being black today would give him an advantage – but doesn’t want a black man counting his money. He only wants Jews for that.

Doesn’t do “the email thing” which is probably the best thing about him
