Given how they are outraged if the Obama daughters wear short skirts how would they react to a first lady who has posed in this fashion? Hey, except for having "The Donald" as president it wouldn't bother me. But what about those self righteous fundies of the right who make up a big part of the GOP base? Also how would they react to having a thrice married man as their nominee?

Besides, how'd they think about Sarah Winkiwinki Palin? On that score, Melania squints a lot so she's got that covered. Or maybe squinting makes Donald look better, kind of like soft focus shots of aging Hollywood stars like Liz Taylor in that White Diamonds commercial?

point of view, it would.likely be seen as a BAD choice.

(67,112 posts)likely won't care if anything like the ones that ogled after Palin. Anyway, their feelings would be NOT OK for the D's, but for R's they'll give the OK signal, and for those on the edge it will be OK'ed by their god.

(20,888 posts)There is a clear margin above which Trump is having a hard time breaking through. The question is who eventually will the other than Trump land on. With 16 other choices no one has emerged as a clear favorite. One can argue in the general election they'll just take it, but one can doubt Trumps never making it that far. But obviously with Carson and Cruz doing relatively well, there is a clear split in the GOP over Trumps suitability. Eventually seasoned campaigners are going to target things like this. They'll do this through mailers and phone banks and push polls closer to the primary. Right now they are waiting it out to see who drops...

If the wingnuts consider you a liberal, whatever you do is always wrong. Hence IOKIYAR.
