Starting to get really scary...

[cilla4progress]

this Trump steamroller. Anchors are looking truly stricken.

Per MSNBC tonight (Rachel) she is implying that Trump's is a "celebrity campaign." More about the showmanship than anything (certainly not values, policy).

Our celebrity infatuation is finally getting us back.

1. Yeah. California fell victim to that. We ended up with a "Governator". . .

It happens, and those who denigrate its possibility are the ones taken most by surprise.

[global1]

5. And How Did That Work Out?....nt

[Journeyman]

6. Oh, just "peachy," if you consider he was replaced by an old-style Democrat who. . .

turned the State around and placed it on a much more solid footing in just a few short years.

One of the big troubles, as I remember, was the number of fools who believed Schwarzenegger would do a great job as Governor because he had been involved with so many films that were real blockbusters and made beaucoup bucks. It was impossible to convince these rubes, however, that the success of the film -- both as an artistic endeavor and as a business deal -- owed far more to the director and producers than it did the hired help. Hell, Schwarzenegger took orders, stood where he was supposed to, said his meager few lines, and flexed when the script called for it.

But try convincing an infatuated public that the vision they have of "actor" is nothing but a contrived make-believe character. If we wanted to put someone in the movies in charge, we'd have been better off getting Rob Reiner or Ron Howard, two gifted directors who were instrumental in all aspects of the success of their films, both dedicated liberals who would have steered the State in a positive manner.

Aah. No sense hashing over the past, except for the light it shines on our present situation. I just hope, whoever our candidate proves to be, they're savvy enough to show how unqualified Trump is to govern a democracy, especially when his past has been nothing but an autocratic management of a sole proprietorship.

7. And Isn't It Ironic That Arnold Is Replacing Trump On The TV Show Apprentice......nt

[Journeyman]

8. Is that right? I hadn't heard, but then, those shows aren't my particular interest anyway . . .

[closeupready]

16. Yes, that occurred to me, too. AND that Arnie once considered running for president.

Never mind that little clause about needing to be born on American soil.

[Matariki]

11. Don't forget Ronald Reagan

[brooklynite]

2. This belongs in GD

[cilla4progress]

14. Thanks.

Wasn't sure.

[Vote2016]

3. The Republicans are turning out so many more voters than we are. I wish WE had populist candidate

to go head to head with their populist candidate because if we run a status quo candidate we'll surely lose.

Oh, we DO have our own populist candidate?

Let's nominate him because no one is enthusiastic about out status quo candidate!

[NowSam]

4. If they are truly scared

Then they should reclaim their souls and stand up and do some unbiased reporting. They should be honest about their partner, Hillary and how Bernie might be the last chance for this nation.

[Luminous Animal]

9. The anchors and the media are complicit for not calling him out from the get go.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

10. America says change - now... anybody but establishment

Vote Sanders or you will get Trump

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. The elite media is grief stricken

Partially because they made fun of trump, and they got him wrong

[DesertRat]

15. On GMA this morning, George S asked Trump who he'd pick for VP

Seriously, George??

btw, Trump said it was "too early" to talk about that...
