5/5/16: OK, (for whatever it's worth) I'm going to put this (once-upon-a-time) 'blog' on hold (again), and let the "non-amateurs" bring the fight re the pro-rasslin'-crowd's clown candidate: Donald Trump.
...I think it's clear (if anyone cares to read any of the recent entries below) where I stand with this loud-mouth jerk...(Also ref. the off-site "article" link a little further below.)

Will leave these two campaign video ads up for as long as they're available. They (↓all GOP leaders (in the first),BTW) say a lot of what I've been saying here...only better-edited; more succinctly. No (direct) affiliation:

(Screen captured image. Not a real offer. (Never really was...))
...BTW: On the campaign trail, the one question candidate Donald Trump never specifically answers (re his ridiculous promises/proposals): ""How?"(What 'scares' Trump more than actually answering that question? If an honest, strong-willed female (journalist) asks it...)

4/21/16 comment: It's an act..↓↓ (I.e., a pretense/show/charade/fake.....and a bad one..)

(Update/clarification: By 'act' I'm referring to nouns as included above. I.e., a show, a circus, etc.
That D. Trump is an authentic loud-mouth jerk (..'campaigning' or not) ...is no act.)

..Trump campaign 'chief' reportedly attempts to convince GOP leadership that his candidate's ridiculous campaign "style" (so far)....... is an act. One off-site news article, new window opens:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/22/us/politics/donald-trump-to-reshape-image-new-campaign-chief-tells-gop.html?

As per a number of previous entries (ref. further below) at this tiny blog, if you can't see that aspect you've gotta be totally blind, probably should not be driving (or reproducing?), etc. etc. (Plus: I've got an infeasible 1900+-mile Mexican border wall to sell you.)

Changing the act now doesn't fool anyone sportin' a brain. (Or suddenly impart mass amnesia.)

********************************************************************************************************************
(Temporarily moving this previous post here back up to the top. One take on the general level of sophistication and intellect we may be dealing with. In short: D. Trump is primarily an entertainer and (self-)promoter:↓)

2/12/16 update: Mark it. (Those paying attention..and who can read.) Unless he somehow convincingly reinvents himself (fast), the following article outlines significant flaws with Donald Trump and his presidential campaign (to date).
Not-difficult prediction: At the national level... will likely (help) sink him at some point. (Off-site link, no affiliation.):


11/16 update for anyone somehow reading this: Yes: Incredibly, the prediction above turned out to be wrong. Nothing but a really sad commentary about ..around 47% or so of United States voters, who (apparently) chose to ignore the Republican candidate's demagoguery, bigotry, hate, sexism, etc. As of this update, it also appears that Hillary won the popular vote by a significant margin. 'Spin' that/deride any way desired (I guess), but the bottom line (...at least for many (in the vote majority) who may now - correctly - feel marginalized....) is that the popular vote clear winner 'lost', and the popular vote loser is being installed into power. Not any 'formula' for unity, especially if the vote-loser attempts to claim a "mandate"....

New prediction: The country as a whole will regret the short-sighted 'choice'. Many (ref. above) already are....)



(Previously written:) ↓↓↓..Hailing from the (semi-)civilized world (note: 570K+ Britons vote to ban Trump)....., I completely missed this ↓↓↓whole parallel aspect of Donald Trump/the clown 2016 campaign/and his "universe" (i.e., cheap-seat followers):

I'm new. They're kind of funny here though...

...Wasn't predisposed to enjoy this. (E.g., "Show biz kids" and all....Plus I'm close to being all grown up now.) 

I'll have to watch more (of their 'parody reality' show) though. (Ref.: The first avail. video link further below):

Early 2016 update (..anyone somehow stumbling down this far here:) Patiently waiting for season 2. Meanwhile -- as I could never not...: Doing as Erin Foster commands↓ (ref. Twitter post below):


**********************************************************************

 More: 'Barely Famous' season 1, episode 1, off-site link: http://www.vh1.com/shows/barely-famous/barely-famous-episode-101-barely-famous/1734710/playlist/#id=1734710

(↑FWIW (just one fan's first take): ..Upon watching a few season 1 episodes I really enjoy how the attractive/famous sisters energetically mock themselves. (The show is intended as a 'mockumentary',
I believe.) ..While it's completely obvious that they're fabulous in several ways. 
(So much (parodying/self-mocking) in fact that credulity credibility is sometimes pushed well past the breaking point..)  Worth watching I think; very funny segments (so far). Some hilariously awkward moments created.

 ...Maybe hard to believe any could be so superficial, but I am clearly not of their world. (Part of the aim of the show: To glimpse into that..) Plus I'd guess that 'trait' might be exaggerated for the show. One caution: The words "good clean fun" appear at the show's close. "Good clean fun" has changed much since I was.....
but who really cares. 
Belated correction: 'Good Clean Fun' seems to be the name of the entity that produces the show...I think. Also, season 1's program videos are presently not available via the VH1 site, above. )

From the Trump playbook? (Plus more..)

(Commentary. Warning: Portions of this post contain (lewd-) adult content. Viewer discretion advised.)
"[She] unhesitatingly let loose such malignant invectives as daring hurt the dignity of... [the] supreme leadership, fully revealing her true colours as a confrontation maniac..." 
"...What she uttered is nothing but a reckless provocation made by a mentally deranged person bereft of reason and face."
↑ ...Donald Trump v. Megyn Kelly?  (Or: Women in general...?)

Almost sounds like Trump bluster/ranting (while hiding behind Twitter etc.). But not quite...

The Republican debate recap article that should be read
