Donald and the Nine Dwarfs

The Donald's wife.

The Internet is abuzz because Donald Trump called Rosie O'Donnell "fat" and some other things in last night's televised Republican debate of contenders for the White House in 2016. Oh my God! How could he? The cad. Except of course she is fat and always has been, so what's the big deal? Being fat is her choice.

Voting for Donald Trump is also a choice, so I am guessing not many fat people will vote for him and thus he will lose the election for that fact alone, since more than one-third of Americans are obese and that will be that. I am also guessing that his dissing of O'Donnell is not the main reason he will not be elected. But he's truly a wild man and a refreshing change from the "blah, blah, blah" so typical of career politicians who need teleprompters and speech writers to say anything at all.

Trump cracked me up several times during the debate last night, but surely his act would not play well in a foreign country, although his wife as First Lady would be somewhat of a draw. (See photo) My recommendation is that he do stand-up here in America or become the VP for someone else, but surely he would never take second banana status.  As for the rest of the hopefuls, each had his good and bad points. Here's what stood out for me about them:

   Chris Christie: Really bad hairstyle. Some kind of crazy dipping curl in the middle of his forehead was quite distracting. He has lost an impressive amount of weight but as we know he did it through surgery, not diet and exercise, so he's a cheater at heart. And let's not forget, he hugged Obama twice.

   Jeb Bush: His father, mother and brother got all the personality in the family, leaving him with absolutely none. And those glasses! Oy. Needs a complete makeover. However, is married to a spicy Latino woman so he must have something going on.

   Marco Rubio: Very handsome and polished, he should be a model or an actor but seems a little too slick for my tastes. Oh yes, he's Cuban, always a plus.

   Mike Huckabee: Looks like an undertaker, plus his ear lobes are way too big. (Long, actually.) He should stick with being a preacher or perhaps open up a funeral parlor.

   Scott Walker: Yawn. Too white. Would make a great manager of a Wal-Mart.

Mr. and Mrs. Ben Carson

   Ben Carson: African American former neurosurgeon and what's not to like about that? Weak on the issues but willing and clearly able to learn. (He has 67 doctorate degrees.) Great sense of humor, attractive and quite likable, in fact there's nothing wrong with the guy except for his limited experience as a leader. But I have seen his wife and believe me, Donald Trump would have plenty to say about her. (Woof!)

   Rand Paul: Curly, girly too-styled hair with obvious product. Pompous and overly confident because he's basically right about everything, I could see him turning off every world leader as much as Obama has.

Kasich and his adorable kids and pretty wife.

   John Kasich: Rumpled and genuine, I'd love to have him over for dinner. His father was a postman, which he mentioned more than twice. He's doing a great job as governor of Ohio and continually elicits an enormous outpouring of enthusiasm from his supporters. Seems to be fair and honest and on top of every issue. Father was a postman. We could do worse.

   Ted Cruz: Scary-looking but very smart. But scary-looking. But smart. Very principled. Oh, and also Cuban, possibly his best feature.

My winning ticket for 2016: Kasich / Carson
