I think Trump's campaign song should be "Pretty Vacant" by the Sex Pistols.
Another way to read it is "carrot or stick." As President, Trump will have the biggest stick and the most glorious carrots ever! Think of the deals he'll be able to make!! He'll make us greater than ever!!! The two term limit will be repealed!!!!

In the interest of accountability T'Rumpolini should publish photos of his junk in the NY Post or his tax returns. His choice.

US Border Patrol Union Endorses Trump
Interesting, there seems to have been a media blackout on this one. I guess it's part of the Anti-Trump conspiracy.

Uh, no. Just because you didn't know something doesn't mean it wasn't reported (4 days ago in the WashPost, CNN, and NPR, for example).

You love it when people whine about media blackouts of something or other and then post links of media reports about it to prove their point.

Those are just a bunch of bored government employees...they probably think they can sneak more trips to the local Starbucks while the wall is getting built.
Gotta love those gubmint workers:

The media-wide anti-Trump conspiracy is obvious to any objective observer. I am not going to entertain any of your ridiculous notions that it doesn't exist.

Just watch what happens tomorrow.

So far Trump has won 20 out of 30 primaries.

Cruz has won 8.

Yet if Cruz wins tomorrow in Wisconsin, the media is going to try to spin it as the end of Trump.

On the Democratic side, Clinton has won 20 primaries, and Bernie has won 15. Yet, if Bernie wins tomorrow the media reaction spin will continue to be that he hasn't got a chance in Hell.

So the Democrats have had 35 primaries, while the Republicans have only had 30?

That's the count I got.

You might want to double check me.

OK. Thought they'd be more synchronized, that's all.
