Donald Trump's sexist views on Women

A recent ad shows Donald Trump's comments on Women and they are not pretty. The comments are actual statement from the mouth of Donald Trump on how he sees women. Polls, however, show that Donald Trump has 41% of the women's vote. In a recent interview asking Donald Trump to comment on his comments about women, he responded that he was ahead in the polls with various groups including women. When pressed for an answer to the question, Donald Trump feigned ignorance, again, claiming he hasn't seen the ad. Does he really need to see the Ad to be reminded about some of the horrible names he has called women. Remember, this is the guy who has always traded up(or down) to a younger model. His current wife is a model who posed naked. I guess if  a woman isn't young, beautiful ad naked then she falls into one of the other categories.

Here are just a few of Donald Trump's sexist views on women

1) Heidi Klum. Sadly, she’s no longer a 10.

2) She cheated on him like a dog & will do it again ( referring to Kristen Stewart)

3) Look at that face, would anyone vote for that ? I mean she is a woman --" (referring to Carly Fiorina)

4  "How much money is the extremely unattractive Ariana Huffington --- paying her poor ex hubby ---"
5)  If Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?

6)  You know, it doesn't really matter what  the media  write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass.

7)  I’d look at her right in that fat, ugly face of hers, I’d say ‘Rosie, you’re fired.’ (referring to Rosie O'Donnell)

8)  Tell that bitch to be cool. Say: 'Bitch be cool.' I love those lines. (quoting  his favorite lines from Pulp Fiction)

9)  “It must be a pretty picture—you dropping to your knees. ( To Roderick)

10)  Fox viewers give low marks to bimbo @MegynKelly --

11) "26,000 unreported sexual assaults in the military-only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?"

12)  While @BetteMidler is an extremely unattractive woman, I refuse to say that because I always insist on being politically correct.

13)  'The Face of a Dog!' written over it." (In response to New York Times Columist Gail Collins)

14)    'You're disgusting, you're disgusting,'  to a lawyer who asked to be excused to pump breast milk

Ben Carson "I had a dream" basis for endorsing Donald Trump

Someone called Ben Carson and told him  ‘I had this dream about you and Donald Trump.’” So it was that the deeply "religious" Ben Carson decided to throw his support behind Donald Trump. Perhaps Donald Trump's Christian values like discussing his manhood on TV, calling Mexicans "rapists" , attacking all Muslims, Making degrading comments about women and hesitating to disavow the KKK, all mesh nicely with Ben Carson's "religious" beliefs.  READ MORE

Marco Rubio - showing his weaker side

I was really rooting for Marco Rubio, hoping that he posed a formidable challenge to the Hawkish republican Ted Cruz and the volatile republican Donald Trump. But alas it was not to be. In his earlier debates Marco Rubio concentrated  his attacks on the sitting President whom he, surprise! isn't running against.  So it was that a little too late he turned his attention to Donald Trump and while he did attack Trumps business acumen he sunk to the the same depths as Donald trump. Alas!  we all know that what works for celebrities (they can get away with anything including murder) does not work for ordinary people. Innuendos about penis size may have made the Donald more popular but it did not work for Marco.

Marco Rubio does not present as a strong viable candidate for president and he needed to work harder at convincing the American public that he was a viable alternative to Donald Trump. Furthermore, Marco Rubio has declared that he will support Donald Trump if he wins the nomination. What doses it say about a candidate for president who supports a "con" man, as he puts it, for President?

Holocaust survivor quiver at Donald Trump's Fascist Nazi Salute at rallies
A Holocaust survivor has expressed concern that Donald Trump is mimicking the Nazi Salute at his rallies when he asked his followers to raise their right hands and swear allegiance to him. It is reported that even children in schools are doing it. However, Trump is claiming ignorance again as he did with the KKK  saying he "will look into it" Of course we know that ignorance is no excuse for racism or fascism. READ MORE

Why is the Media so smitten with Donald Trump?

If Trump makes it to the White House, he will be forever indebted to the media in particular, MSNBC, CNN and FOX news. The love affair of the press with Donald Trump just gets stronger and more intense as the campaign drags on.  Each time you turn on the TV to one of these "political" news channels, you feel you are entering "Trump  castle" where Donald Trump is the King and all his servants(the media) are pandering to his every need, hanging on his every word and trying their best to cover up any Trump misdeeds that may be uncovered. 

Trump gets top billing, more air time, more positive commentary than any other contestant in the Republican race. When Mitt Romney's speech aired denouncing Trump, it was immediately overshadowed by a sharp focus on Hillary Clinton's Email - what they termed "breaking news" . Reports on violence, hate, the KKK and assaults at Trump's rallies are brushed aside and quickly smothered. Is the media in bed with Trump? Does Trump own the media?  

When I think about the media's relentless attack on Obama during his previous presidential campaigns over minor issues I cringe. Donald Trump on the other hand, appear to get accolades for his insults of women and minorities and his fellow Republicans. 

I now switch channels each time I tune in and the media is talking Trump which is 99% of the time it would appear.

The problem with Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio

There are two problems with Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio which has made it possible for a candidate like Donald Trump to possible snag the Republican nomination. The Republican party is in an unenviable position; they hate the candidate who will be representing the Republican party and the don't much like the alternatives - Ted and Marco. So what's a voter to do?  Supporting the alternative candidates does not seem to be working so far. Why? Well I believe Ted and Marco are more of a problem than Trump and here is why.

1) Both Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio spent the first critical moments of the campaign fighting Barack Obama instead of Trump. In all their debates and meetings they insulted and  derided not only the sitting president of the United States but America as well. If you don't know any better you would probably think that under Obama the USA has become a third world country. The problem with this is that Obama is not running for president - Trump is. So it would seem that, unless they believed Trump could make a great president, they would have concentrated their efforts on stopping him long ago.

2) The other problem is likeability. You hear it all the time - talk about how hated Cruz is by the establishment and the "Ted Cruz is Crazy" talk that has flooded the internet. You have seen how little confidence in his abilities, Marco Rubio instills in he Republican voting public.
So who to vote for; one of the two candidates who border on the "boring" at times or one who offends every class of people in the Unites States and the world, a billionaire, an entertainer, and one with reported questionable business practices.  You see the dilemma? I gues many Republicans are praying for a "savior" today.

Presidential Jewels of the day - Donald Trump on Ku Klux Klan and White Supremacist. Donald Trump could not summon the courage to deny an association with the  Ku Klux Klan by  claiming ignorance of the group. The man who wants to be president of the United States touting make America "Great again",  gave an un-presidential response when asked on CNN if he will disavow former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke. He stumbled and stuttered but still could not say his supporters name. He said he didn't know enough to "disavow David Duke"

Trump: "Just so you understand, I don't know anything about David Duke, OK?" 

Trump: "I don't know anything about what you're even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists," he said. "So I don't know. I don't know -- did he endorse me, or what's going on? Because I know nothing about David Duke; I know nothing about white supremacists."

Really? The man who wants to be president knows nothing about the White Supremacist movement or the Ku Klux Klan ? This is the same guy who claimed to be a supporter of Israel but he cannot disavow a group, or claim to know noting of a group, that worships Hitler.

You're Fired! Donald Trump gets his due

The press adores him. Donald Trump adores himself. We have heard endless chatter about his greatness, his strong poll numbers and the fact that he is a "winner" But in the much touted Iowa primary, Donald the winner became Donald the loser. He was "fired" so to speak. I actually hoped that Donald would win this one but he didn't. Instead it was Ted Cruz - the Canadian. Beaten by a Canadian! Oh Donald, you just have to make this right.

Donald Trump's boycott of Republican debate Is he afraid of Megyn Kelly?

Tantrum? Image Pixaby

How is it posssible that a female news anchor can drive so much fear in the mighty Donald Trump? Megyn Kelly may be Trump's worse nighmare . She is a woman who dares to ask him the tough questions and knowing his opinon about women, he must be very disconcerted by her. How dare she? FOX has refused to give into Trump's tantrums in this latest episode but it remains to be seen how long they would be able to hold out. According to Trump, they need the advertising dollars he generates so what's a network to do?  The thing that shocks me about Trump's latest tantrum is how childish it appears. Can we trust him to deal with the tough leaders, men or women who may not treat him with kid gloves ? Will he refuse to negotiate or talk to countries or people he thinks hurt his feelings? Can we trust him to keep his emotions in check when making the tough decisions?

Donald Trump resorts to begging

Donald Trump resorts to begging for support. Since Trump has been unseated as the Republican front runner, he has resorted to begging for votes. At a rally in Souix City, Iowa, in front of some 2400 supporters he said "Iowa will you get your numbers up please" "I promise I will do such a good job" Translated, please please, please, help me I am drowning. It that desperation I hear or has the mighty Trump fallen an inch or two? Let's see if he is just as contrite at the Republican debate tonight.

Where are the kids? Donald Trump's kids

Forget "where are the parents" a term we use when children get out of hand. Now it is "where are the kids" when parents misbehave like Donald Trump. There comes a time when a certain degree of senility creeps into the minds of he best and brightest. Age takes its toll and parents need to be reigned in by their children. However, this is not the case with Donald Trump. I winced when I heard his speech, announcing his run for president - A speech  laced with hate against Mexicans, and gibberish, What did his children think while he was babbling like a feeble minded person? Perhaps there was nothing they could do to save Donald Trump from the error of his ways but for sure the public was listening and the backlash was fast and furious. Donald, Donald, Donald, what were you thinking?
