And is interested in the job? Pretty short list, I would guess."<br /><br />Don't know about interest in the job, but one Democrat who could give Trump a run for his money in 2020 is...Jerry Springer. No, that's not a joke.<br /><br />I'm convinced President Trump is going to be very hard to beat, assuming he runs for re-election. If the Democrats run another cookie-cutter neoliberal, they're looking at a 35 - 40 state drubbing. The battleground, as we saw last year, is the Northern white working class (Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, mostly). Springer has the following going for him:<br />1. He's held elected office before (OK, mayor of Cincinnati, but at least he's won elections).<br />2. He's known and loved by precisely the right demographic; very few Democrats could put this group in play.<br />3. The coastal-urban elites will despise him, but like the "respectable" GOP with Trump, they'll vote for him if they hate or fear the alternative enough.<br />4. Probably most important, he could out-circus Trump. It's all about spectacle these days. Obama understood this; (Mrs.) Clinton, not so much...<br /><br />Lest you think this is off-topic, U.S. politics these days is nothing if not Lovecraftian.Tony Dunlopnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-7412278609293781332017-06-22T11:04:02.871-05:002017-06-22T11:04:02.871-05:00DUDE.

And try to check out RAGMOP at the VAULT COMICS site. #fail on the latter. <br /><br />GREAT WORK, Carson! We really need to charge a cover price by the pen line. We'd be rich!<br /><br />Good example of the ratio of art:writing in comics. How long did it take Jack to type her one-liner? How long did it take me to write a strip around it? How long did it take you to draw it? Artists take it in the neck every time.<br /><br />Dear Lifelong Republican: I think President Trump BELIEVES everything that he says. I think that's what got him the presidency. I think what everyone overlooks is that he lost once through the whole election cycle. In my experience -- as a political junkie of 50 years standing -- that's unheard of. HOW did he do that? Sheer impenetrable BELIEF in self, I think.<br /><br />And that, I think, stems from his experience on THE APPRENTICE franchise. Reality TV is all staged. It's performance art. He spent more than a decade (no, really, THINK about that) watching himself on TV and doing different takes of anything that he didn't see as being HIM. What got the ratings, what didn't. This is what DJT looks like when he says this. This is what DJT looks like when he says that. And he learned concision. You've got 21.6 seconds to communicate this before you say "You're fired!" HOW do you say that in 21.6 seconds? (that's why he took to Twitter: "this is the only way to DO this job. This is like TV but more finely-tuned") <br /><br />The Democrats are going to have to find someone who has that same skill set for 2020. What Democrat has the decade-plus experience of creating themselves on a Reality TV franchise? And is interested in the job? Pretty short list, I would guess.<br /> <br />See you the next time I have to check something online.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502294606395720342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-73006327121696159272017-06-21T10:08:30.401-05:002017-06-21T10:08:30.401-05:00Totally unrelated but, rereading Sim's "C...Totally unrelated but, rereading Sim's "Collected Letters Volume 2", on pages 204 and 205, 3 August, 04, quoting Norman Mailer, from "Why Are We at War", Dave reprinted Mailer in response to R. E, "Pg. 37--'Saddam, after all, had a keen nose for the vagaries of history. He understood that the longer one could delay powerful statesmen, the more they might weary of the soul-deadening boredom of dealing with a consummate liar who was artfully free of all the bonds of obligation and cooperation. It is no small gift to be an absolute liar. If you never tell the truth, [then] you are virtually as safe as an honest man who never utters an untruth. When informed that you just swore to the opposite today of what you avowed yesterday, you remark, "I never said that," or should the words be on record, you declare that you are grossly misinterpreted. Rich confusion is sown, teeming with permutations."<br /><br />Dave's reponse to R. E. was, "Well, yes." Dave cited some examples from the 2004 election cycle, but I would ask Dave (and you), does that remind you of anyone else?<br /><br />Signing off, <br /><br />I Am a Lifelong Republican.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-52455929198029482992017-06-20T10:26:27.966-05:002017-06-20T10:26:27.966-05:00Paul,
