Gil Fulbright For President

"I may not be qualified to be president, but a dramatic camera angle can make me look like a president." - Gil Fulbright

Donald Trump is not qualified to be president, and nothing can make him look like a president. I'd rather vote for Gil Fulbright than vote for Donald Trump. I think that Trump would do things that would be destructive. I don't think Fulbright would do anything, and maybe that would be a good thing. At least he would tell the truth. I also think that Fulbright would give better speeches than Thedonald.

The truth behind fake political ads:

"Honest Gil" Fulbright isn't a real candidate. He's an actor, and Gil's campaign for the White House is a satire that's been viewed more than three million times on social media.

It makes you chuckle, but there is a serious point to his pitch.

"He's just shining a light on how politicians are routinely being bribed by special interest lobbyists, and swaying their votes in their favor, and the people who are left out are we, the American people," said Josh Silver, the director of represent.us, the grassroots organization behind Gil Fulbright that's working to pass laws combating the influence of moneyed interests in American politics.

"To be successful," said Reynolds, "you would need to have these guys in Congress vote against their self interest, right?"

"Well, that's why we're doing what we're doing," Silver said.

It is my belief that the world would be a better place if people stayed home on Sunday morning and watched "CBS Sunday Morning".

Is Anyone Checking The Facts?

Donald Trump throws a grand old party:

No one ever really doubted that Donald Trump could pull off a major counter-programing feat -- even when competing with a GOP debate that was expected to draw millions of viewers.

He did it Thursday night, dazzling a crowd of hundreds of enthusiastic supporters by announcing that he had raised more than $6 million for veterans in one day -- $1 million of it from his own checkbook. "We love our vets," he said.

Isn't this bribery and playing on people's emotions on a grand scale?

The GOP is the reason we have so many disabled vets in the first place.

Whatever happened to "Throwing money at a problem is not a solution", which is one of the typical criticisms of liberals by conservatives. (I do realize that conservatives want charities and churches to be the ones "throwing the money".)

Don't get me wrong, six million to help veterans is a good thing. I just don't trust Trump.
