I have a pretty good track record in choosing Presidents. Sometimes, I’m way ahead of the game. I decided in 2004 that I wanted Obama for President.
Sadly, I didn’t notice him on the ballot for a while.
This time around, I haven’t been able to decide. Hillary? Bernie? There are things to recommend each of them. So what is a good citizen to do?
Well, today I have my answer. I know who I’m going to vote for. I know who I will work for. I know who will solve one of the major problems the world faces today.
Please join me in supporting the candidacy of Donald Trump:
Because Donald Trump stated the following:
WINTERSET, Ia. – Donald Trump says if he gets elected president, he would have to change his hair style because he wouldn’t have time to maintain it, as he would be working his butt off in the White House.…[Emphasis added]
The world will be a far, far better place.

I found this, along with a zillion other brilliant pictures at The Last of the Millenniums. He’s got a gift for finding the really fun stuff.
I missed The Donald’s visit to Winterset by about a two weeks. Winterset is my hometown and I was there for a visit at the end of May, visiting family and taking in the new John Wayne Birthplace museum that just opened.When I heard he was coming to town I was shocked. Trump in Iowa?? I can’t see it going well.

I asked my 88 year old mother if she planned to attend the The Donald’s rally and she told me in no uncertain terms that she did not have plans to attend. She called him a stupid blow-hard — that’s as close to profanity as my mom ventures. Had I been there, I probably would have attended, just to watch the show.

Politics is almost all about money. So if Bernie somehow gets elected, he’ll get almost nothing he wants accomplished. But if the Donald gets elected, he’ll get almost everything he wants accomplished. So you’ve made a good choice, if you’re seeking the most effective president. And I’m sure the Donald would be too darn busy effectively lining the pockets of himself and his buddies to bother with dragging out a comb.
