Yep, and we have computers which can create pictures which look just like paintings from real artists, no more of that paintbrush and easel nonsense. What a great day when we no longer have to be bothered with art and culture in this country.

Donny No Puppet's crowds don't mean anything as he is sorely lacking in both a strong campaign infrastructure and "ground game" that get's the vote out.

It's the reason why he is losing and will lose tomorrow.

Yelling and screaming lies at a crowd is not a winning strategy!

Not thinkers. Not savants, nor seers, nor philosophers, nor persons of great intellect.

This is what we aspire too, in this country, today?
Except, many celebrities ARE intellectuals and very accomplished individuals that make tremendous contributions to politics.

Al Franken
Ronald Reagan
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Jesse Ventura
Fred Thompson

To name a few.

I wonder if it's because they don't want to damage their brand, don't like No Puppet, or both - I'm guessing both!

Hillary on the other hand has a raft of celebrities that are both endorsing her and on the trail with her. To name just a few:

Oprah
Meryl Streep
Katy Perry
Beyonce
Jay-Z
Bon Jovi
John Legend
America Ferrera
Lena Dunham
Amy Schumer
Lebron James
Stevie Wonder
Robert DeNiro
Kerry Washington
Ellen Degeneres

Guess all the famous and cool people want to be with a winner rather than a loser like Donny!
What?? He has Ted "Crap-yer-Pants" Nugent a fellow draft dodger, and Scott Chachi Baio on his side.

Do you even know the context of the post I was replying to? Who gives a crap about Ted Nugent or Meatloaf. This is about who the general voting public want!

How many Syrian Refugees are those "entertainers" going to put up in their guest houses?

This makes me laugh.

Trump won the election.

The high school mentality of needing to align with the “cool kids” didn’t work on me 30 yrs ago and it certainly is not going to work now. Guess that is why this need group yourself with them to increase your self-esteem baffles me. To me just because someone is a good singer does not make them an expert for all aspects of life any more than me being excellent at my job makes me a good singer.

Once an individual has earned my respect on a particular subject, I will listen to what they have to say and then reach my own conclusions. I don’t need someone else’s assurance help me pick my clothes, hobbies, home decor or food, let alone my view on culture and what I believe is best for my country.
