It has taken FOURTEEN YEARS

for conservatives to finally start telling the truth about WMDs

Jeb, why did your brother attack and destabalize the Middle East by attacking Iraq when there were no weapons of mass destruction? Bad info?

But he's got CNN, Twitter and DU talking about him again, so mission accomplished

2. Trump doesn't know the meaning of the word "conservative."

He knows "money," publicity," and "attention." He's happy if he achieves his goal. if you asked him what's 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, he'd say it sounded like a great location for a new Trump Tower, and ask what city that was in.

3. Don't like Trump at all but we do find ourselves enjoying

this brief moment in time.

Agree with you about Trump and "conservative", but we like seeing him stir it up. Conservatives coming unwound everywhere! Just look to what happened at yesterday afternoon's fun with the Republican candidates at Prestonwood Baptist Church in North Dallas/Plano forum.

All the Evangelical candidates came, Trump declined at last minute. Excoriated by Pastor conducting event, Graham and by Jebbie.

4. I missed all that. October is my most work-intensive month--11 days straight with no day off so far

And seldom 24 hours in a row in the same country. I get some of the more sensational stories, and a few fun things from back home, but I miss out on many fun stories like that one. My sister ran into Trump this year in the States (most of my family still lives there) when she was doing some thing with/for disadvantaged kids. Trump flew in on his helicopter, gave these ghetto kids a brief lecture about how if they worked hard like he did, they'd have their own helicopter some day, too. My sister wanted to kick his teeth in, but didn't want to set a bad example (or get shot by Trump's goons).

6. He's a strange, strange man, that Trump.

I'd say he's more of a nihilist than anything, just sort of sowing chaos wherever and whenever he can.

At least I agree with him this time.
