Trump is rising because people are tired of all this political correctness. Now we can't even say "anchor babies" even though that's what a lot of illegal immigrants are doing and have been doing for YEARS.

We can't call them illegal even though they broke the law. We can't talk about the fact that some of them do commit horrible crimes and that in a fair and just world that they should all be deported and we should fix our immigration system once and for all before we start letting people back in.

 

Oh well...I"m a Democrat to the day I die but if he somehow makes it out of the Republican side and the Media has achieved its goal of destroying Hillary Rodham Clinton leaving old tired a$$ Bernie or complete liability Joe BIden or worse boring O'Malley then I"m voting for Trump....screw it all.

 

It's time for something radically difference cuz clearly Washington DC and the status quo isn't working too well....

I'd say we shouldn't call them "anchor babies" because there's no real point in attacking a baby for something they have no control over. Not because of political correctness. Not to mention that many of the people pushing this term were "anchor babies" themselves.

I don't agree that this isn't about attacking them as well. Do I think you're attacking them? No. Do I think that the people who push this stuff have an agenda to dehumanize all illegal immigrants (and many legal ones as well)? Yes. And that's what terms like that do.

Of course it's about them. It's about the idea that they are some type of secret weapon of wickedness of their parents. And yes it does go on, but absolutely nothing he or any other Republican is saying will help the situation, because it's all about macho posturing.

The latest poll has that fool Trump pulling 30%!!  I'm amazed.  If there were a similar candidate running for the Dem nomination, they would be dead last.  There are stories of people chanting "white power" at his appearances!  I don't get it.

 

The thought of a true political outsider being the next president is interesting and even attractive.  But Trump is not the one.

The bottom line tho is that the Republican primary voters don't care. She could have lied about anything in that debate and two things would have occurred right after it:

 

1) The Media would universally declare that she "won" the debate. Even though she didn't say a single thing that was impressive or great. She didn't "shut down" Donald Trump in any shape or form. All she did was say that American women heard his comments...which was hardly a revelation.

 

2) The Republican voters were not going to care.

 

To be fair I have seen a lot of sites challenge her depiction of the events in the Planned Parenthood videos..

Its an absolute shame this conspiracy to make Carly relevant.

    • It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.  
    • Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
    • Daphnee and Trisha did a live stream on Instagram and confirmed they find out if the show gets picked up in May. This pretty much confirms they're on the primetime schedule like the Bell soaps. Fingers crossed we get a multi-year renewal announcement soon!  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJSsYb7PDv8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==        
    • I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.
    • Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much. And that closing effect with the two blackscreens meeting was unnecessary. Just a fade out would have been enough.
    • HUGE THANK YOU FOR 1998-1999 EPISODES!!!

    • And sadly I think that’s the trivia Both Jeanne Cooper and Eric Braeden went with for years and years. Lol
    • But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood. 
    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
