Six magic words for Donald Trump
Whoever came up with Donald Trump’s reverberating campaign theme about making America great again hit a nerve with mainstream Americans, and it has served the campaign well. Mocked and ridiculed in the mainstream media, which is never to be equated with mainstream America, making America great again is a theme that can be appreciated not only by those who have had the misfortune to be personally affected by the decline in this country’s manufacturing base or its technical jobs being shipped offshore to third-world wage-savers, but also by those millions of Americans who stand and watch as their very own president, supported by his lockstep-marching Democratic Party and their adoring mainstream media, takes every opportunity to demean our country before the world. So yes, “make America great again” resonates across this great country and among the millions of citizens out there who want the leadership to make that happen.
But if Donald Trump wants to hit the red-hot nerve that runs through those tens, maybe hundreds, of millions, he simply needs to adopt as his secondary campaign theme the words he recently spoke, “I refuse to be politically correct.” The pundits can pontificate all they want about the number one election issue being the economy but I think they are as wrong about that as they have been about every other aspect of this election season. Too comfortably ensconced in their politically correct bastions of elitism to have any idea of what is important to those hundreds of millions of ordinary folks struggling to make a living between their coastal havens, they are no determiners of truly correct political thought and speech.
It’s that last term, politically correct speech, that more than any other can be counted on to elicit angry responses from virtually any gathering of citizens who have come together to hear Donald Trump speak. Yes, they are angry that a clueless and incompetent federal government has allowed their jobs to be taken away, but what really riles them to the boiling point is for some effete liberal academic, bureaucrat, or media fool to tell them, “You can’t say that!” The natural response in most of America is, “The hell I can’t!” with a jaw jutted forward and fists tightly bunched at the sides.
That is the vein of fed up, righteous anger that Donald Trump should feed into, starting every speech with, “What you’re gonna hear today isn’t gonna be politically correct!” and ending it with, “We’re gonna make America great again, and a great America is sure as hell not a politically correct America. We’re gonna make America the land of free speech again!”
You do that, Donald, and I promise you, son, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Damn, you’re good, Poetrooper!
Agreed.
Works for me
America:Fuck Yeah!
Ditto!!
Fuck yeah!
Nothing out there come even close to all the good America has done for the world, on our dime. I shudder to think what would have happened if the Soviets had won the No-So-Cold War.
I would probably be dead, because i would fucking died before following any fucking collectivist ideology.
Sorry. Special day today. I hate special days. Its funny how PTSD and TBI makes you forget all the small things, but special days are burned in your brain.
I’m just going to leave this breaking news report here:
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-hack-idUSKCN0Z0205
The Russians GOT INTO THE DNC’S FILES!!!
They got ALL the e-mails and comm files, AND they got ALL the DNC’s research on Trump!
Oh, they do make the Watergate Burglars look like bunglers, don’t they? Shades of effing 1970!!!!!
If I can stop laughing about this, I’ll let you know. I hope the Donald is laughing as hard as I am!
Asked for comment, the individual in charge of Clintoon’s personal IT support staff said, “That’s just our normal IT security practices at work. What’s the problem?”
I’ve been telling all here for a long time that the Chinese and the Russains have a ton of trash on Hillary and the DNC how do we think they were using he NSA
I bet you a dollar that the Commies were dancing around in the Hillary “private” hard drives/servers when she was Secretary.
I like to think that if I was dumb enough to want to vote for Bill’s idiot wife that news like this would change my mind.
Too bad that ideology often “Trumps” common sense when it comes to politics…yes, pun intended. lol
Makes you wonder why the Russians want information collected on the candidate that isn’t publicly accessible. Also, I wonder what kind of intel they have on Trump, who collected it (alphabet agencies?), and how it was collected.
Funny as hell – but if they got in there, they probably hacked the RNC as well. I doubt they found out anything they didn’t already know on Hillary, though… she’s been bought and paid for for years.
Yeah, I wonder when they’ll release the info they hacked on Hillzy’s private server? Or, will they just keep that in the dark and blackmail her with it?
HOOOAH !!!!!!!
There is also a biblically huge tsunami of anti-establishment sentiment all across the Country and Trump has ridden it like a pro surfer. The inner DC establishment types on both sides of the aisle are shitting themselves over him and IMHO it’s about time they got their apple carts shaken the hell up!
Well, if Trump can tone down his somewhat bombastic approach, he’ll come off as the more mature, reasoning person we need, instead of the gladhanding sacks of shit on the other side of the political fence.
Can you imagine Hillary as CiC? ?
If she wins, I wonder if she is going to appointment a transgender for Secretary of Defense?
What could possibly make someone more qualified for a high level government position than being transgendered? The transgendered possess the penultimate knowledge, skills and abilities.
They have the next to last knowledge, skills, and abilities?
yes, because Shrillary is the one and only.
Be careful there, IDC SARC. A certain “Intern and Cigar Aficionado” might get jealous if you keep talking about her as “the one and only”. (smile)
I dunno…I’m a federal employee. He might get me overtime, Hazardous Duty Pay and a productivity bonus.
frankly, I’m surprised FLTCM April Beldo wasn’t selected for the next MCPON. she would’ve been the first openly gay and first female MCPON. I wonder why clintoon didn’t make that happen…
As much as I like the original phrase, adding those two little words at the end seems just brilliant. No, most of us don’t need the addition of “for everyone,” but some of the idiots (who will be voting) may finally get it.
“Making America great again for everyone.”
Good analysis, Poe.
If the Russians have all this info on shrillary, is it time for a tell-all book, or should that come after November 30th? If it’s after 11/30, that gives us time for a series of recounts that I’m quite sure that stuffed summer sausage will emphatically demand.
Oh, while I’m at it, the bernout is none too happy with the idea that the democraps are asking him to join feces with shrillary. He’s quite sure he can carry on without her.
Wait – did I say what I think I said?
Oh, well.
Now, all we can hope is that the Bernouts write-in Sanders on their ballots, thus splitting the Demoncrat vote and ensuring Trump gets elected.
Yes, best scenario is to divide the dummycrat vote. A third-party run by burnout would be awesome.
Happy Birthday, Donald Trump, on your 70th birthday, 14JUNE.
Yes, Happy Birthday to the Donald, he of the Vietnam Draft Lottery Number 356.
It’s too bad you hadn’t been born six days earlier on June 8th, then your number could have been 366, the ultimate Silver Spoon.
Claw……..July 8th. Lottery number 13! Sucked to be me. I had a long talk with my mother at the time about planned parenting! Smile
My number was 72.
But I was in Vietnam doing something or other when the drawing for my birth year happened.
Now if I could only remember what the Hell I was doing. That CRS just kicks my ass at times./smile
Yep, September 14th was #1 on the hit parade.
The ultimate Green Weenie.
I was WAAAAY over 300 but it didn’t matter. I was already in the Navy. I got a letter from parents while in boot camp in Orlando, 1968. Included was my notice from the draft board to come on down for a chat. But I fooled them, didn’t I? I stuck it to da man. Or was it the other way around? I forget. Kinda seems da man got me. I am grateful I joined and retired. Very grateful for the opportunity.
Malo periculosam libertatem quam quietam servitutem
I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude
Thomas Jefferson
Free speech, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to be free of the cops, the government and just about everyone else in the entire nation is a basic principle upon which our nation was founded. Today too many fearful little servants only want to be told what to do and kept safe by their betters….
Unfortunately safety and “being nice” so as not to offend anyone with speech they find uncomfortable is all an illusion. Far too many people who use their flowery PC speech do so to hide the simple fact they hate just as much as the low brow heathens they imagine the rest of us to be, in spite of the simple fact there is no evidence to support the PC crowd’s beliefs.
Is Trump a loud, obnoxious boor? Absolutely, but he’s also basically saying FUCK YOU to the entire group of DC leadership turd polishers. And most of the average folks in America just love that sentiment.
I’m starting to get worried Poetrooper, you and I are agreeing more and more lately….that’s an entertaining and frightening prospect…sort of a sign of the Apocalypse or something…
“It is the obvious which is so difficult to see most of the time. People say ‘It’s as plain as the nose on your face.’ But how much of the nose on your face can you see, unless someone holds a mirror up to you?”
Isaac Azimov, I Robot
Trump as well as conservatives who are making points that are contrary to mainstream media or Democrat party talking points could use a favorite left-wing phrase: I am speaking truth to power!!!
After all, when you say you are speaking truth to power, no one can object to what you say. Or so it seems when a lefty activist says it.
This is going against the grain, I guess, but…
Nothing wrong with being politically incorrect. Nothing wrong with shouting your message from the rooftops.
But the combination of being politically incorrect and terminally stupid? Some of the shit that he comes up with on really important issues is utterly ridiculous, contradictory, or just plain dumb.
Drill down through the bombast, and there’s…nothing.
In this case, the alternative is lethal leftist idiocy administered by a dissembling, mendacious and untrustworthy ideologue. Pick yer poison as you like – but it seems to me that in such a case, the alternative of “nothing” is eminently preferable to knowingly doing the political equivalent of swallowing several grams of potassium cyanide.
Drill down through all the media crap to those people who know him personally and you find a well-liked, intelligent man who is both kind and fair to his thousands of employees.
You’re correct that he’s not a good extemporaneous speaker; but then, aside from true politicians like Ted Cruz and Mark Rubio, both lawyers, most so-called leaders aren’t that great at speaking off the cuff. Remember, he’s a businessman, not a politician. Oratory skills are in little demand in the business world.
And dumb he’s definitely not. Given a million dollars start-up money, most of us would eventually lose most or all of it, a few might double, triple or quadruple it, but damned few, assuredly not the dumb, would expand it ten thousand times and turn it into a ten billion dollar empire.
You need to reassess, Marine.
Bankruptcy 1: The Trump Taj Mahal, 1991
Bankruptcy 2: Trump Plaza Hotel, 1992
Bankruptcy 3: Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts, 2004
Bankruptcy 4: Trump Entertainment Resorts, 2009. Ya’ll can keep this great businessman. I’m not going to vote Hilary but maybe Sanders.
Just remember: if Sanders runs 3rd party, a vote for him becomes in effect a vote for Clintoon.
Why? Presuming Sanders is in 3rd place in the vote count, each vote for Sanders as a protest vote reduces the number of votes Clintoon needs to win by one.
Sometimes it really does come down to the lesser of two evils. This is one such year.
Airdale, bankruptcy is a common event in the casino industry except for those laundering mob money. Trump going through several would be an indication he’s clean.
You sure as hell can’t say that about Clinton.
And, interestingly enough – the Trump Taj Mahal is still in business in Atlantic City. I was there recently, and it seemed to be doing a booming business.
As of 2008 and as a result of 4 bankruptcies, Trump owned 5% equity in Trump Resorts and Casinos. He’s a shill. But apparently, he’s our shill.
He was buying and selling debt and actually used the current bankruptcy laws to his benefit. This is not illegal and is actually smart if you consider how he was doing it. He is very open to why he has declared bankruptcy so many times.
Cheers.
If he’s so smart, why did he have to give up equity to his creditors each time he went through bankruptcy? Remember him being forced to sell his yacht The Trump Princess and his estate on Palm Beach? I do. Seems to me a real smart guy who was merely buying and selling debt would not have to liquidate his assets and forfeit equity.
I’m not saying I won’t vote for him…
I know how I, personally, could make one million dollars in a business venture.
I would start with two million.
If the DNC site was breached, are we to believe wideload’s server was also not breached, possibly in real time? Separate servers, of course, but I’m thinking the DNC server was better protected than that of wideload.
“You do that, Donald, and I promise you, son, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. ”
Didn’t take the time (YET) to read all the comments here, but that line nailed it for me. He is saying the right things, but if/and he becomes POTUS I can only hope….
Trump supporters are not main stream America.
Trump does not represent main stream America.
Stop acting like you and those you consider to be just like you are the core of American identity.
After you.
Damned Bullshit alarm comes on again, right in the middle of a dream where Pamela Anderson & I were neighbors growing up together in Hawaii. We were playing the usual “doctor” game all ten year olds play. Had not been 30 seconds into my breast exam and puberty check were in full swing. And of all the damn things…the Bullshit Alarm goes off screaming at me to get out of bed and deal with Comrade Poodle Dik. You know, the one who wrote on this very site, “People who are afraid of Communism are foolish!” That’s YOURS Lars Gerbil Brain Taylor. One of these days I’m going to use the four letters of your name to come up with an acronym for you. Simply LGBT may apply, I don’t know, but it falls short somehow.
BTW..we all thank you for sharing your wisdom on Trump. Now it is my turn.
Comrade Poodle Dik, are you personally so delusional to consider yourself main stream America? Crap, Comrade Poodle Dik, your imaginary stream of consciousness is as wide as a stream of urine during a urine test.
If Trump does not represent main stream America, presumably that would include you, Comrade Poodle Dik. Voters such as yourself who likely own a free Obammy phone would NEVER vote for a POTUS candidate who would even suggest holding people accountable for their work ethics and hands-out reality.
Now it’s time fro You to STOP. Yeh, stop everything but eating and vegetating. Stop thinking anything you write on here is worth what each of us pay you for. You, Comrade Poodle Dik, are the core of American pseudo intellectual Berkeley blathering which no one on this site gives a rat’s ass about.
Now leave me the hell alone. Go back to bed so my alarm will not go off again right in the middle of a hot dream. Now I’ll probably have nightmares the rest of the night about you bending over in a prison shower wanting to pick up soap for all who dropped it.
Go away Freddie Kreuger!
HY Commissar, if Socialism is as great as you say it is, then why is Venezuela such a desolate shithole these days? YOU CAN’T BLAME TRUMP, little fool!
TRUMP 2016
I’m going to clean out the fridge this morning, and every time I come across something yukky, dumb and used up,I will ask myself why I let stay so long.
And then I will think of Lars the Poodle Dik.
Poetrooper. I, too, strenuously object to what you I imagine you wrote but did not. And I mean that in no uncertain terms! I would quote you but the words aren’t there for me to abstract. Nevertheless, I take exception to what you never wrote!
Oh, crap! Who let the Poodle in???? Is that a challenge by an ignorant, lazy twit with a brain the size of a pea? Okay, here we go. I’m much more mainstream America than the Poodle. That applies to just about everyone who shows up here. I went to public schools from 1st grade thru high school, where we were taught reading, writing and REAL arithmetic, REAL history, and REAL skills, not this imbecilic crap that inflicted now on kids trapped in a school system that no longer teaches anything. We learned how to diagram sentences in the 4th grade, understood fractions and decimal places in the 2nd grade along with multiplication and division tables, and by 5th grade, we were investigating biology and chemistry. I don’t see any of that being taught in schools now. It’s all about passing test scores, and THE KIDS all say they are learning NOTHING. Mainstream Americans WORK for a living. Everyone in my family has worked right up to retirement except my sister, who won’t give up her pre-med students until she feels like it. But the point is, none of us sit on our butts looking for handouts. Our JOBS might have us sitting at a desk, but that’s still WORKING. The majority of us buy and pay for our homes. WE don’t expect someone to just GIMME SHELTER. And we don’t expect food handouts, either. In a sluggish economy, we know how to shop for bargains, stretch a dollar and make the most of our income. We aren’t a bunch of parasites, like ticks lining up for the nearest unused blood vessel. We pay our way. That’s what mainstream America does, and we have a right to despise people who want to sponge off the rest of us. There is no justification in any government expecting people to fork over their hard-earned pay to those who are too frakkiing lazy to get jobs. I’m not the only person who thinks that way. There are now at least 20 states that have reinstated the ‘welfare to work’ laws so that anyone who… Read more »
