CONVERSATIONS WITH MOM

"What do you think about Donald Trump running for President?"

Ridiculous.

"Why? I like him."

I don't understand why the Republicans keep sending these circus performers to the elections.  Sarah Palin was bad enough, now Donald Trump?

"But he could be good for the country."

(pause)

How?!?  His companies have filed bankruptcy four times.

"But he always beats the odds and picks himself up and succeeds.  He could do that for the country, and pull us out of trouble."

But when you file bankruptcy, you do it to get out of debt, so you don't have to pay anyone back the money you owe them.  Think about all the people he owes money, without having to pay them back.

(pause)

"I never thought of it that way."

I don't think America should solve its problems by filing bankruptcy.

(pause)

Are you there?

"You really have a way of stopping a conversation, Dan."

For a smidge of a second, I had the same thought as your mom. Then he started on the birther thing and lost me. IMO, the whole birther idea is basically subtle racism.

This scares me. If your mother feels this way, then there are probably a lot more people out there who do too!

This is one of my favorite Conversations With Mom posts!

Especially since I just heard all about my mother-in-law's first Tea Party rally on Saturday. Sigh.

Diane's definition of 'subtle' is the same as my definition of 'blatant'

I hate to disagree Dan. But Trump is doing so well in the polls. he is tied for the Republican party. Political analysts say he has a better than average chance of winning the election. It isn't like our current President is doing well. I hate to disagree and hope you will not delete my post. I like you and you are a very sweet guy. I am sorry.

I'm thinking more and more people are realizing Trump is a jackass!
