TRUMP ISN'T REAGAN!!!!!!

Donald Trump is a brilliant rich man. He has captured the imagination of many frustrated Americans who like to see complex issues in simplistic terms. He has a following, some 35 to 40 per cent of the Republican party. He may win the nomination.
All that said, he seems to have a death wish for his candidacy. The other day Trump attacked Hillary Clinton. On issues, policy, even her husband’s administration and his behavior, that’s part of the game. But when Trump starts referring to her bathroom breaks and how his political foe responding to the call of nature disgusts him, then you really have to wonder how he regards women. I don’t care if Clinton wanted privacy in the bathroom. But I do care how Trump says “It is disgusting” to think of how Clinton goes to the bathroom. Apparently the Trump women are in possession of those Golden Vaginas some used to refer to in high school.
Even the most ignorant people I have ever met, had respect for their woman as well as those they met. Trump may be a hero to all his fans but women make up a majority of the voting blocs in America. In the past they never liked the GOP to tell them what to do with their bodies. Trump took it once step further. He told them that their bodies and what they did to basically do what any human does, eliminate,  is “disgusting”.
Yep, Trump might be laughing now but the last laugh for GOP candidates in a General Election Year for the Presidency becomes a cry of “how come women don’t like us??”
A lot has been made about the fact that Trump’s insurgence seems to mirror Ronald Reagan’s rise in 1980 and how Democrats regarded Reagan as the easiest candidate to defeat. Trump is no Reagan. Reagan might have been bawdy but not a pig. Reagan respected women. Big difference there. So before you all start insulting Reagan and comparing him to Trump, listen to the language.

WOLF GETS BUDGET BUT WILL HE SIGN OR VETO?????????

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives has adjourned today and most members are left town for the Christmas holiday. The Senate took up their budget proposals and sent them to the Governor. 
The lawmakers could not reach a deal before Christmas on Wednesday as the State Senate appeared to reject the outlines of an earlier compromise, passing a House budget opposed by the Governor. But the Senate decided to send the budget to the Governor. The budget is the same on that House Republicans wanted, the  Senate deal was pretty much abandoned.Wolf has accused the Senate of bowing to the interests of the House  saying that their proposal would take the state back to what he called "the failed status quo" that did not give education its due. 
So the ball is now in the Governor's court. He may sign it, he may veto it. This whole process has been pretty ugly and truth be told there have been no winners. More to come.
