Ah! The Show rolls on... Trumps lies are a masterful demonstration of politics, power and business acumen. Everyone elses lies are signs of their inability to lead... yeah! If you say so.

Must say, your repetitions are becoming much more noticeable, claig. word to the wise and all that Smile

Tonight Jeb has his brother W at a South Carolina at 6 pm ET.

One hour later, Trump takes to the stage at a jam-packed South Carolina rally. All of the world's media will be at the Trump rally and only the Daily Telegraph and Guardian will be at the Bish rally, because everyone wants to know what Trump will say about W. All the pundits warned Trump not to attack W, but the word "retreat" is not in Trump's lexicon, he is legendary for the act of "doubling down" which is all part of the "second greatest book in the world (after the Bible)", Trump's book "The Art of the Deal" which is now de rigueur in Oxford PPE courses and at Ten Downing Street.

A who? A what?

I may have asked before, claig, but are you practicing to be a spin doctor? You might find it is a highly competitive field, one that uses Just a Minute as its guide... no repetition, hesitation or deviation allowed. Oh no! That is self evidently wrong, isn't it Smile

claig · 15/02/2016 16:28

'The Show rolls on'

Absolutely and the ratings and viwing figures go through the roof. trump is the hottest ticket in towm. Trumpites have been known to queue for hours in freezing blizzards to gain a prized seat at a Trummp rally and queuing times of 8 hours without food and water are standard for seats at packed Trump rallies.

I doubt anyone would bother for a Cameron rally and certainly not for a Gordon brown one.

But that's Trump 2016!

Lweji · 15/02/2016 16:28

Not quite Bingo yet, but certainly a line.

claig · 15/02/2016 16:30

'but are you practicing to be a spin doctor?'

How dare you! I am not Oxbridge and would never countenance sinking to those depths. I believe in the truth which is why I follow Trump 2016!

Lweji · 15/02/2016 16:32

No clips by the whatever sisters? My card is begging to be filled.

claig · 15/02/2016 16:35

'No clips by the whatever sisters?'

The legendary Diamond and Silk, known as the Stump for Trump sisters, have released some new broadcasts about the puppets that Trump faces due to popular demand from Trumpites, but I have not watched them yet.

OurBlanche · 15/02/2016 16:36

Grin just thought you might have been tempted to transcend the class barrier, been seduced by the Yankee Dollar.

claig · 15/02/2016 16:42

For Trump, I would work for free as any self-respecting Trumpite would. Truth needs no recompense.

OurBlanche · 15/02/2016 16:47

Ah! Plato... good chap. Died happy, by all accounts Smile

claig · 15/02/2016 16:49

That is what I heard and he was also good friends with Mickey Mouse I have been told.

OurBlanche · 15/02/2016 16:51

Oh! I thought Kanye was the new Disney? Confused

claig · 15/02/2016 16:55

I disney know about celebs and reality TV types, I follow the serious tweets of Donald J Trump

claig · 15/02/2016 16:59

Here is Trump's latest tweet

"Now that George Bush is campaigning for Jeb(!), is he fair game for questions about World Trade Center, Iraq War and eco collapse? Careful!"

Trump doesn't know the meaning of careful Grin

The Establishment said he had gone too far, PPEs said he was done, media hacks said he was finished. He hasn't even started!

Trump 2016!

GruntledOne · 15/02/2016 17:02

someone comptetent like Donald J Trump.

Trump competent? You mean the man who has been bankrupted four times? The one who ended up with egg all over his face over the birther nonsense? The one who is constantly being caught out on inaccurate facts, despite being well able to afford people to check such things?

I think it is important for politicians to tell the truth

So why do you keep telling us that it doesn't matter that Trump doesn't mean much of what he says? Or is it only important for him to tell selective "truths" when they coincide with what you want to hear? Have you ever thought about the fact that a good leader acknowledges the things his followers don't want to hear?

Then the people can make up their minds if they prefer Trump or an Establishment pantomime Tony Blair.

Not sure if you've noticed, but Tony Blair isn't standing.

Basically, Tony Blair has become a worldwide widely accepted term of abuse

Only in your head, claig.

claig · 15/02/2016 17:06

'Not sure if you've noticed, but Tony Blair isn't standing.'

Oh thank God for that, I am not sure I could have taken another 5 years of him.

OurBlanche · 15/02/2016 17:08

Don't relax, he can be just as dangerous seated... in front of the NI Affairs Committe, out in the ME, as envoy.

You can stay afraid of him.

claig · 15/02/2016 17:10

OurBlanche, you're right. He continues to haunt us.

Lweji · 15/02/2016 17:39

Claig, you're failing in your duties. They are making those fantastic, highly informative and factual clips, some of which you have used as evidence, and you aren't checking their latest offers? All that effort in vain? (Vain being the operative word for their idol, btw)

claig · 15/02/2016 18:00

'and you aren't checking their latest offers?'

I know I should try and keep up but events are moving so fast in Trumpworld. The fallout from Saturday's debate where the Establishment tried their best to ambush and finish Trump and their media cheerleaders tweeted in unison that now he was finally finished means that it is difficult to keep up with these earth shattering events.

Trump has already tweeted "careful and every Trumpite knows what that means - a full frontal assault.

There's mayhem in Establishment press offices. the puppet Senator Lindsey Graham has said he may have to reconsider if he can support a Trump nomination after what Trump said about his hero, George W Bush.

Does Trump care? Does he heck. He tweeted "careful" which in Trump speak means that the gloves are off.

I will catch up with the information that the Stump for Trump sisters are imparting, but things are moving so fast, I am mot sure when I will be able to fit that in.

I've had to stop watching Eastenders, events are moving too fast!

OurBlanche · 15/02/2016 18:05

Mmm! Too fast in Stenders, or in Trump Life.

We should be told!

Oh, and is that mot a bon mot or a Malmot Grin

Lweji · 15/02/2016 18:15

Has he tweeted anything about Stephen Fry?

claig · 15/02/2016 18:16

All I know is that events surrounding Trump are not moving in slowmo

They never do in Trump 2016

claig · 15/02/2016 18:19

Stephen Fry?

Small fry. This is Trump 2016!
