Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 26, 2015
Transcript:
Ned: How do you explain his lead in the polls? Man in blue: Media attention. Voice from out of frame: It's not just a lead...it's a huge lead! HUGE!! That's because I'm the real deal! I'm a straight-talker, saying what I really think! People want that! They love it...men, women, lesser races...especially chicks! Blond chicks with big gazoombas! Huge gazoom...um...wait...Did I just say that out loud? Man in blue: Yes, and you just went up in the polls. Ned: Either I've had too much to drink, or not enough.

With this year’s Republican crop, you should switch to absinthe. Lotsa and lotsa absinthe.

No, Scratchy18, he’s in the lead because people would rather be entertained than to exercise critical thinking. The best candidates for both parties would never run.

“Either had too much to drink or not enough” When you figure that one out, let me know.

You know, I may be off base here, but I don’t think Wiley Miller thinks very highly of one particular candidate.I don’t necessarily disagree with him, however, I would like to see his take on the other circus show.
Charles Phipps Premium Member about 9 years ago
@whiteheronI agree. If anyone is ripe for major parody, it’s Hillary. He’ll never touch her, though.

I think this commentary is more about what makes someone like Trump popular. I’ve watched him many times, and he says nothing substantive – aside from insisting he’s going to force Mexico to build a wall to our specifications and that he’ll make them like it – but without giving a single detail. BUT Trump says whatever he feels like saying, regardless of whom he insults or hurts, he’s supremely self-confident, and he’s a well-known bully. THAT’S what people like about him – and that, I believe, is what Wiley is fascinated with. It’s not the content of his policy – because they don’t care what his policy is – it’s the “strong man” image he portrays.

Men are “blond”. Women, whether they have huge gazoombas or not, are “blonde”. Blame the French, but get it right or you look like a bigger idiot than anyone.

Not enough. It’s never enough in these cases.

Stephen Colbert recently talked about the Republican Debate Drinking Game. “The Republicans debate, I drink.”

Where does Fox get the ratings for their ‘polls’? Make them up? No, that takes brains. The candidates’ PR of course.

Is he coarse? Yep.
But he doesn’t seem to be a smooth-talking, charming, traitorous liar.

Elections: The only job interview where the best qualified candidates have absolutely no desire for the job nor the interview process.

Come on, can we go back to regular comics, please? I am so sick of these stupid political arcs.

You do realize that Wiley didn’t actually name a candidate?“If elected, who will you be wearing to the inaugural ball?” Priceless, Wiley.

Freedom of speech, freedom of the press. . . if the candidates say it, the press can report it/comment on it. . .

Possibly what’s happening with little Donnie is that people are taking the advice of legendary pundit Mike Royko, to always lie to pollsters? Or could they WANT an adulterous dishonest deranged bigoted cowardly crybaby to be president?!

I think blond chicks with huge gazoombas have their own PAC now.

Donald’s hair is more authentic than he is. All he’s doing is pandering to his base. Telling them just what they want to here and being careful not to contradict them, as we saw. That’s why he’ll never get over the 30% mark. The rest want to be pandered to in a more sophisticated manner.
3pibgorn9 about 9 years ago
still, pandered to, yes.

Bruce Wayne inherited great wealth and became “Batman”. Donald Trump inherited great wealth and became something else that comes from a bat, proved in every speech he makes.
Wiley has identified part of the problem, his supporters have been drinking too much or too little, but it’s PCP, not booze.

Funniest thing I’ve heard in a while:“Trump says he sleeps with supermodels. Don’t tell him that, without his money, he’d be sleeping with women who look like Kim Davis.”

Imagine the trouble America would be in if something this silly was real….

Drink up. It is likely to get much worse before it gets any better, and beer goggles can only help. I bet Howard Dean is looking better already. His only sin was enthusiasm. But you can’t change the past, and this thing is starting to look like it is already over.

The Trumpster is used to being in absolute control. Business allows for that. Prez Trump would have to compromise with others in Washington, and he hasn’t shown me that he could or would do that.-In a word: I bid one No Trump.
nathanbtlr about 9 years ago
Not enough. Not NEARLY enough!
Say What? Premium Member about 9 years ago
Okay, I see what you mean, and it makes sense. What puzzled me was why you only mentioned people concerned with progressive policies don’t care about local or regional election races, even though people on the other side of the political spectrum have shown to not care about such things, either.
