Would any of the girls have voted for Trump?


I think it safe to say Dorothy wouldn't.

Blanche might have flirted with voting for "Mistuh Donald J Trump", but Dorothy and Sophia (as an immigrant) would school her. Rose would vote spoil her ballot by not knowing how to make an X.

reply

Dorothy got cold feet when she said she would tell of bush when he came to her house ! Sophia did a Ronald Reagan and fooled rose

reply

Blanche probably would have, especially if she knew him and thought she had a chance. She liked men with money and power...would have embraced the whole idea of "Make America Great Again" and didn't get into the liberal tuna feminist thing that people who supported Clinton do. Dorothy and Sophia wouldn't have. I don't know what Rose would've done. She seemed like a suburban 1950s stepford conservative wife, so the Republican ticket probably would have appealed to her more anyway, but I don't know how much she would have liked Trump. Unlike Blanche, who would have been more open about her support, if Rose did plan to vote for him, she probably would be more quiet about it.

reply

Rose also had immigrants in her family, so I dunno if she'd vote for Trump. Many of her family came over from either Sweden or Norway, and who knows if they were legal or not.

reply

Most of the people who voted for Trump probably have some relatives who are foreign/immigrants somewhere along the way. Since Rose, herself, wasn't an immigrant or the child of immigrants, I don't think that issue would have been a deciding factor for her.

Now that I think more about it, Rose being from a Midwestern heartland of America-type area, where Trump did a lot of campaigning and made a point of trying to appeal to people there, she may have would have cautiously liked what he was saying enough to vote for him. She probably would have had more of a connection with a cousin who was a factory worker and lost his job because the company went overseas than some Norwegian relatives who she hardly knew (and probably still lived in the old country), and voted with the former in mind rather than the latter.

OHFER-!!!

HE DOESN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IMMIGRANTS IN GENERAL!

he has a problem with those who are here illegally!

learn the difference!

two of the three women he has married have been and are immigrants so why would he want to deport them all?



Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

reply

Thanks for mentioning this! Trump is against ILLEGAL immigrants. What's wrong with that?

reply

^ Nothing. But in this crazy, deluded, oversensitive PC/SJW-world we live in, the left think that criticism of illegal immigrants is a knock on *all* immigrants.

reply

That's not entirely accurate, Deem. He also wants to limit legal immigrants as well. From his official website:

"Reform legal immigration to serve the best interests of America and its workers, keeping immigration levels within historic norms."

reply

thank you for the correction. maybe, he is as sick and tired as I am of taking care of the able bodied.

and I have to mention this: when most people move to another country, it is usually to work/make a better life for themselves. In the US we don't ask questions, and that is where we suck as a country. we end up taking care of these people who can't work or won't.

reply

Every country controls immigration.

reply

No, but I'd pay to see Dorothy and "Designing Women's" Julia Sugarbaker a month's salary to watch them "slap him silly". Oh, throw Murphy Brown in there while your at it, and how about Dorothy's long-lost twin, the ultra-liberal Maude?

"Great theater makes you smile. Outstanding theater may make you weep."

reply

LOL.

reply

I could see Rose or Blanche possibly voting for him. After all, he did get the vote in Florida.

reply

I doubt it. If any of them considered it, Dorothy would just dig out her letters from Mario, her deported prized pupil.

reply

I am watching the first part of Max and Sophia's wedding. During the ceremony, Dorothy asks Rose and Blanche if they would ever get married again. Part of Blanche's response was that she would get married again to a man who has the financial resources of Mr. Donald Trump. I think it is safe to say that Blanche would have voted for him!

reply

Lol! You're probably right!

reply

Well , it's certainly a testament to his staying power!

I think we can trust that the Mel Gibson reference would not have made the cut today.

reply

Didn't she mention Mel Gibson as being a looker? He's really aged lately with that long gray beard.

Remember the episode where the Girls had a dog who was guaranteed to find anything?
Sophia commanded, "A viable Democrat for president--GO!", and the dog ran out the front door.
Very funny scene.

reply

And then Clinton won! But winter of '92 everyone said the Democratic Party was broken and no one in the primary had a chance of actually winning the election. Sound familiar?:)
