Trump used to be a joke,

the media played it up as such and gave him LOTS of free advertising.

Can you say snowball?

But what does that say about my fellow Americans?

I am disgusted and disillusioned.

Then again, I have been disgusted and disillusioned by a lot daily for so long.

I think I have an 'immune' gene, but I have to turn it off now.

DU always catches me up so thank you.

Joe Lamp'l, host of A Greener World, was here filming all day today - tomorrow too - future episode on this weirdo who wrote a book on tomatoes! Probably to run later this year - will be coming back in June, then again in August - when it is picking and eating time.

I remain rather flabbergasted by this whole ride I've been on!

Cruz?

Rubio?

Carson?

Basically, the republicans have a clown car of candidates and Trump knows how to play the best clown.

I can't believe how many people have come out as openly bigoted this past year. It's disheartening!
