Just Say No To Trump: you know I have no idea what I was smoking when I suggested that Donald Trump would be a decent candidate for the Presidency. I mean I always has a strange gut feeling about the guy, that he often played both sides against the middle, I even thought that he supported Obama in the last election (he came out for McCain). Still, I felt uneasy about the guy. As it turns out that unease turned out to be well founded: according to a Facebook post by Mark Levin, pointing to a site which outlines political contributions, he threw a lot of money at both R and D over the years. Then I saw Chuck Shumer on that list. That’s when I knew that, uh no. Please accept my apologies for those last two posts. I have no idea what I was thinking. Which is usually how my show works: I typically have no idea what I’m saying

920 - NO To Trump - Cowboy Poetry - A HORRIBLE Prediction

On Today's Show:

• My apologies: I have no idea what I was smoking when I had the fleeting though that Trump might be a decent candidate. One look at his political contributions (Thanks to Mark Levine for pointing it out) and one can easily see that he's basically greased whatever government palm he's need to - R or D, in order to push his agenda. Seeing Chuck Shumer on there was the clincher for me. No to Trump!


• Yes, folks, we actually pay for someone to write cowboy poetry. This is just one of the millions of things we waste money on. What a great example for Harry Reid to bring up, on what a waste it is. We have to stop this and I'd bet 99% of the government programs out there.


• Has any company or state been denied an ObamaCare waiver? I bet not.


• I make a horrible, horrible prediction. I don't think I can even mention it in print, its so horrible.

Trump For President? Part 2

The only caveat I would think is that as a fairly public figure, I’m sure that he has a ton of skeletons in the closet that he may not wish to be revealed, and as I mentioned in a previous post, I’m sure that there will be legions of media, Obama supporters, and paid Obama agents who will unearth every possible bit of dirt that they can on him. Maybe he can weather that storm. He definitely has the resources and the name recognition. I wonder though if, like Howard Stern, who at one point wanted to run for the Governorship of New York state, decided to pull out of the race because he would have had to disclose all of his financial dealings, that there is some damning fact in Trumps past which would make him unelectable.

The last I saw Donald Trump, he was giving a rousing speech at the CPAC conference, which I reported on back when it happened. It was memorable for a few reasons: one, I had always thought of him as more of a neocon, or rightist Democrat, so I was a bit surprised to see him at CPAC of all places, and secondly, he came out with a statement which really riled up the Ron Paul supporters in the audience: he basically just spoke the truth that Ron Paul had zero chance of becoming President. I like Trump: maybe what we need is a businessman and not a politician to take the reigns for a bit and turn things in the right direction. At least, unlike Romney, he has no socialized healthcare system in his past to haunt him.

Trump Wows CPAC - Part 2: Ron Paul

One thing that he said that was pretty interesting though – he came right out and said what many of us are thinking

Ron Paul can’t win. He has ZERO chance.

This of course is, sadly, true. While I completely agree with Ron Paul and all of his positions, I also agree with Trump that there is no way that he can win an election. I love his ideals, I love how he has become a leader and a focal point in thinking. I love how he drove so many more people out of their complacency in 2008. I love how he brought TRUE hope (not the false hope of Obama) back to people who were politically dead.

However, I’m all about practicality. I want to see freedom in my time and my children’s time, not some far flung wonderful utopian future state. And that's where I fear Ron Paul sits: he’s about education not action.

Trump Wows CPAC - Part 1

Interesting. I was enthralled listening to Trump at CPAC. I never thought that The Donald was particularly conservative, in fact I think I recall that he supported Obama in the last presidential election. Or maybe that was just because he was, like most of us, unhappy with the alternatives.

Anyways, Trump takes the stage, gives a powerful, rousing speech – speaks about fiscal issues -  touches on a few social issues – talks about returning America to greatness. He sounded pretty good. He definitely has the celebrity and star power to go up against Barack Hussein Obama.

My only issue with Trump: I don’t know if I truly believe where he stands. As a businessman, he should understand how to grow the economy. But as one who probably dealt for favors from government, I’d put him in as more of a corporatist than a true capitalist.

Bottom line: Not sure I can trust him to stay the course.
