Pussy Riot member on Trump: Everyone laughed at Putin too.

[arely staircase]

For many on the left wing, Donald J. Trump has been the gift that has kept on giving, providing the media with headline after headline of absurd gaffes that, in years’ past, would’ve knocked any potential candidate from the field. Instead, this year has found that the more ridiculous Trump gets, the more responsive his voter base grows. And that’s dangerous — and it always has been. Most recently, it’s lead to the election of Russia’s Vladimir Putin, as Pussy Riot’s Maria Alekhina told the Huffington Post.

1. We all laughed at dimson in Texas- no way he could beat Ann

And look what we got- first Texas and then the world.

4. yeah. I had a front row seat for that one.

What is really surprising is that Texas governors have continued to get worse after Bush.

5. Sueprizz sueprizz sueprizz

The only one worst would be if Palin moved here for the no income tax thing and ran for governor. I know men who would vote for her- they are really strange, would like to bed her and Coulter and that would get their vote.

2. She's got a point, but Putin was head of the KGB and...

not only had far more experience in the dark side of Russian politics but continued use of it in his little adventures.

Trump's brilliance is PR, not dark politics. Or running anything.

3. Bush Sr. was head of CIA

But I agree on the marketing/PR point. It doesn't make it any less likely though, "Reagan? An actor? Lol, nah."

Oops

And then we got the Governator in CA. Don't underestimate the pretenders. Or overestimate the voters, really it's the people that fall for it.
