I’m deeply disturbed to report that character actress Ann Morgan Guilbert, 87, the skinny little screwball who was synonymous with beloved sitcoms like “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and “The Nanny,” died on Tuesday after a brief battle with cancer.
They are so determined to stop Trump that they haven’t even begun considering who to replace him with yet. “This quite literally is an ‘Anybody but Trump’ movement. Nobody has any idea who’s going to step in and be the nominee, but we’re not worried about that. We’re just doing that job to make sure that he’s not the face of our party” says Colorado delegate Kendal Unruh. Not exactly the most inspiring of platforms, but there isn’t much else for them to stand on.
Trump has recently reiterated his threat to run as a third-party candidate should the GOP not fall in line behind him – and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan has threatened to sue Trump over his proposed ban on Muslims entering the United States. We can expect that all 16 other candidates that were rejected by GOP primary voters the first time around will be equally unpalatable this time around – and how do you think millions of angry gun-owning Republicans across the Midwest and the South will react to hearing that the candidate they voted for and fell in love with is being taken away by the powers that be?
The blatant neglect of the American people and obvious disdain for their voters shown by the Republican establishment prompted the rise of Trump in the first place. Taking away their anointed savior to replace him with a stooge like Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan or (shudder) religious extremist and universally-despised Senator Ted Cruz will spell the end of the Republican Party forever.

Good riddance. Because with a candidate as disgusting as Donald Trump, the end can’t come fast enough for me. For instance, at a campaign rally yesterday in Arizona the Manhattan orangutan said: “I feel like a supermodel, except like times 10.”
Trump was referring, of course, to the extensive and nauseatingly abundant free media coverage he’s received since deciding to run for the White House. He added: “It’s true. I’m a supermodel! I’m on the cover of these magazines ... I’m on the cover of the biggest magazines! I don’t even know about it. I can’t even read the story, because if I did, I wouldn’t get any work done.”
I think the most telling aspect of his narcissism is how he boasts about polls and primary results. For example, Trump loves to brag that the RNC won’t be able to overthrow him at the convention because “13½ million Republicans voted for me” in the primaries. While that may be true, 17 million Republicans voted for somebody else. And he’d need at least 60 million votes to win the national election in November ... which isn’t even remotely possible with an unfavorable rating at 72%. YOU’RE TOAST, DONALD!
And now I think I’ll join Sam in the family room to watch one of our favorite mysteries, So Long at the Fair (1950) starring Jean Simmons and Dirk Bogarde. We love this movie! It’s set in Paris during the 1889 World’s Fair and shows off some fascinating 18th century police investigation techniques when Jean Simmons’ older brother goes missing and nobody believes he ever existed.
Thank you for reading this!
