The Ivytalk / Chizzang: Trump Takes the Gold thread

[Chizzang]

Ladies and Gentlemen,
There is a standing wager between Ivy and Cleetus
What's at stake is humanities fragile grasp on the American Political landscape

I say: Trump wins the Republican nomination
Ivy says: Not happening...

Loser sends a case of beer (or Root Beer) 2,700 miles

[JoltinJoe]

I say Cleetus better start looking into the laws regarding shipping liquor inter-state to Delaware.

Can I mail an ounce of pure Redmond Washington Marijuana into Delaware..?

I don't know who is going to win but I am hoping that Cleetus has to violate some interstate liquor laws to pay up

[Ivytalk]

It may be easier for the ultimate loser -- in this case, Chizzy-- to send the winner a check for the price of the brew.

Check your PM!

JellyBelly can attest to my payment of one past ill-advised political wager.

What do I got?

I must have missed that retainer you mailed in?

Oh, yea, sure. You can do that. Go ahead.

Unless you know something about land use, water rights, and unfair business practices you're useless.

I could see Trump winning. He's looking more and more like our version of Italy's Berlusconi. See, we could vote for Trump and be more European at the same time. How very Continental of us. That could sway some Democratic voters perhaps.

Silvio was a conk.

But a European conk. Most Americans have a rather shallow understanding of Europe so they wouldn't have even cared what Silvio's actual positions were/are. Besides, he was a genuine Populist, and that's all the rage now.

Controlled the media, cronyism. Classic conk.

Kinda like Hillary, aka the Democratic Party nominee.

I have to go with Ivy on this one. He's wired in to the Illuminati.

"The Illuminati"? I thought that was a secret society at your alma mater.

Um...
The "secret" society at The Citadel isn't much of a secret

JellyBelly can attest to my payment of one past ill-advised political wager.

Now that must have been humiliating.

If you look closely, you can count 10 poofters. If you have read The Lords of Discipline, you might recall the secret society at The Citadel was "The 10".

The only way to derail Trump -- absent some colossal faux pas, like a public real-time groping of Whoopi Goldberg -- is to deprive him of the mother's milk of all politicians: free media publicity. No more Fox News/GMA/Today lovefests. Suck all the air out of the room. But Trump -- crude and vacuous as he is -- is the master of the PR stunt and the soundbite. The MSM love him because TRUMP (even more than lesbians, according to Howard Stern) MEANS RATINGS.

His poll lead is widening. Carson still #2, but Fiorina is fading. And the establishment knuckleheads can't even tie their own shoes.

If Trump gets the nod, he will lose all 50 states, even Utah. Walter Mondale's '84 debacle will become a historical footnote.

But I'm not yet ready to send a wad of unmarked bills to Chizzy, because I'm an optimist!
