I like your metaphors...Cruz is the most hateable guy in the world (including Mugabe...I bet Mugabe has a friend...just one, but a friend). I am praying that he loses in Texas...please DOG let it happen.
It's hard to put into words. The mob is depicted as a separate being from society in movies. I grew up in a mafiosa town and it's anything but. Everyone has a cousin or a brother in law who has done business that's shady. My uncle owned a chop shop in East Boston. Whitey Bulger's brother was a politician who was the head of the college I went to. Nothing happens in my hometown without greased palms. There was a joke that all the business of Somerville is done in a deli. Hell the Kennedy's made their money bootlegging. I could never get into the Sopranos because those are the people I grew up with.
The Romney is suggesting mobsters is almost too innocent (and shows that he learned nothing as Governor). I would be more shocked to find out Trump never had dealt with mobsters.
Ah, that makes perfect sense! I spent my adolescence in a tiny little town about 15 miles outside of Youngstown Ohio, which was as mob infested as any place you'd care to name. Everybody knew somebody that knew somebody.
At the restaurant that I bussed tables at for a while, it wasn't unusual for the owner to have friends (all male, all of a certain ethnic group, IYKWIMAITTYD) come in to eat - not every day, not even every week, but at least once a month - and about half of them would sit at one table and talk, and laugh, and just have a great time, while the other half sat at a different table, spoke little, and were *always* paying attention. Loud but polite, always tipped well, even though they never had to pay, and we all knew what the deal was.
I've been wondering how all of this religiosity and nutbuggery will play once he loses and she heads back to Wall Street and her real life. "Oh yeah, my FIL is batshit insane and I told him God spoke to me to have Ted run just to shut him up." That's gonna sound spectacular to the hookers and blow crowd at GS
I got a flyer today from some Conservative PAC or other that tried to call wolf on Trump for his being in favor of eminent domain. Guys, as an antitrumping missile, that one ain't gonna fly. His supporters will just say, "Yeah, but he hates them Messicans and he hates them A-rabs!"
I predict that at the next Trump rally, The Donald will say, "Hell, yeah, I'm all mobbed up. It's part of doing business. And you can't grab everything, grab, grab, grab, without doing business."
[Wild applause]
"Not only do I work with the Five Families, I work for them. Any time they need a hit man, they turn to me because I am the best"
[Wilder applause.]
"In fact, you know who whacked Jimmy Hoffa? [Points both thumbs to his chest.] I got six dead guys I iced buried under the foyer of Trump Towers. I am a yoooge, very terrific, wonderful, very professional killing machine."
Psssst, MNS, "Popcorn" Gribaldi here. Fat Tony sez ya needz some Cub Scouts. How many ya want?"

Fair enough. But the picture is of the TV series version. :-)

"Right, stop that! It's silly! And a bit suspect I think..."

Ted Bundy has more Senate endorsements than Ted Cruz.

An ilk once bit my -- oh never mind
You're just going to milk that, aren't you?
Nice casino you got 'ere, Colonel...
And Hillary Clinton
with votes, of course.
He is proof that reality television is more popular than reality - well it is called the boob tube - and who doesn't like boobs ?
