SO, the Donald told Chuckie Todd that he watches "shows".

Last edited Mon Aug 17, 2015, 08:33 PM - Edit history (1)

Of course, it's OK with Chuckie that Trump says that kind of horse manure, like this is a president worthy answer. Remember Willard Romney's "binders" full of women/

Did Chuckie learn how to be a "journalist" by watching Clark Kent in the old Superman show? Maybe I could have become a lawyer by watching Judd for the Defense or Owen Marshall in my teens...or a doctor by watching Marcus Welby and Medical Center, or a detective by watching Mannix or The Rockford Files.

I can only pray that a president Trump wouldn't have just watched Patton or Top Gun right before an international crisis.

As I said in a response to an earlier thread, a Chuck Todd/Donald Trump interview has to be an example of a breathtaking LACK of any form of intellectual heft. I equate it with watching Married With Children's Kelly Bundy (Todd) interview MASH's Frank Burns (Trump).

I can only hope that eventually some in the Republican party fight to make it, once again, the party of Lincoln, T.R and Ike. America NEEDS 2 viable alternatives. It does NOT need a party that embraces lunacy as a valid governing philosophy. I know that one of those future Republican leaders will NOT be the backbone of oatmeal Susan Collins, our severely out of touch senior senator from up here in Maine...Yuck!!!

Boy, do I miss Walter Cronkite & John Chancellor!

PEACE!

Director Jacques Tourneur was a genius of the horror genre with his classic horror films like Cat People, I Walked With A Zombie, The Leopard Man, and his horror masterpiece Night Of The Demon. And he directed one of the greatest films noir, Out Of The Past.

you know, someone you'd like to have a beer with

it doesn't matter that his answer is vapid and shallow, because he is Donald Trump.

Trump isn't nearly as appealing as Peter Sellers, though.
