OT - A Republican debate question?

I'm not sure I've seen a house cat that looks like that before.

I don't disagree with this, but he was a man of a different time. 

I guess I'm getting old enough that I'm a man of a different time .

I was always struck by an anecdote about General Grant. After a fine dinner, and the table being cleared, the men were sitting back smoking and enjoying their spirits. One of the gents looked around and said, "Seeing there are no ladies around, I have a little story that might amuse you..." At which point the general cut in and said, "There may be no ladies here, but there are gentlemen." The table talk went a different direction.

I've never been able to tell if Trump has any interest in being President or if this is his most effective way to influence politics.  I could not be more cynical in my views of the state of politics today, and if Trump is able to shake up the status quo by dropping some ugly, hyper-opinionated views into the conversation, then good for him.  Not sure I could ever vote for the man, but he is a disruptive force that I welcome.

I really don't think he's serious or remotely wants the job.  It's not exactly like running a company - you can't just fire Congress.  

I think this is much less an attempt at influencing politics as it is stroking his ego.  I really do expect him to pull out at some point, but the cat's ego is pretty large, so who knows?

If that's an ocelot, I hope your home owners insurance has a clause  about covering damages by small storms called "Kitty." Likewise your health insurance. Altho' I doubt you'll have worry about mice in the house.

@gdenby - thats a bengal.  Hybrid Asian leopard cat and domestic cat.  They're legal in most states if not all.  Daddy was unusually large - 25 pounds.  Usually they're around 16 pounds.  But he's ahead of the curve - 7 pounds at 5 months.  Typically domestic cats are between 5 and 6 pounds at 6 months. 

They're not that destructive if you keep them active.

Unfortunately, the high road rarely works in politics or media any longer.  We rarely respect our country's leadership let alone look to them as role models.
