The Donald Is Plenty Smart

Never for one second think Donald Trump is stupid. He did not become a billionaire without doing some strategic thinking on the side. He is smart, that is precisely why he picked the party of stupid. He knows it will be easier to shine.

Only a few years back The Donald hosted Gaddafi on his property, but we are not going to talk about that. I would not want to hurt him politically.

All that Climate Change denying the Republicans did over the years, all that is now going to come to haunt them.

And to think The Donald used to be an Independent, then he realized all the fun that is to be had is in the Republican Party. Just you watch!

I don't know how The Donald feels about the Democrats in the race, but I happen to think they are too wonky! Nerds! Too many words. Too many books. Not enough pictures.

I think the 2016 race is going to be memorable, and The Trump is one of the reasons why. His out of the box hair is, quite literally, symbolic of his out of the box thinking. Republicans in Alabama don't know what just hit them.

No one is going to complain about there being too many debates. The refrain might be, not enough debates! There is sooooo much to talk about. The country's future is at stake, for Chrissake!

Donald Trump is a serious dude who just happens to have a sense of humor. Some people mistake his sense of humor and don't take him seriously.

Memo to Dems: The Donald is a gift that keeps giving.

GOVERNOR DAVID A. PATERSON
Biography

DAVID A. PATERSON became New York's 55th Governor on March 17, 2008. In his first address as Governor, Paterson spoke about the challenges facing New York and his plans to build a better and brighter future for the citizens of this great state.
Governor Paterson was ahead of the national curve in predicting and acting on the State's current fiscal downturn. Despite the greatest economic crisis our State has ever faced, Governor Paterson has enacted sweeping reforms on a wide range of issues facing New Yorkers.

Governor Paterson led the movement to create permanent reforms to the way health care is delivered in New York State to rationalize the State's Medicaid reimbursement system and provide increased investment in primary and preventative care. He overhauled the Rockefeller Drug Laws for the first time in more than 30 years and after a 9-year struggle to update the 1982 law governing bottle deposits, Governor Paterson guided the legislature to enact the Bigger Better Bottle Bill. In addition, as a result of the Governor's leadership, the Empire Zone Program is being reformed, the basic welfare grant was increased for the first time in two decades to help assist those struggling in poverty during a time of unprecedented economic turmoil and unemployment insurance benefits have been extended.

Governor Paterson successfully negotiated an MTA bailout plan allowing commuters to avoid painful service reductions and he introduced landmark civil rights legislation that will end legal discrimination against same-sex couples in New York.

In 1985, at the age of 31, Governor Paterson was elected to represent Harlem in the New York State Senate, becoming the youngest Senator in Albany at the time. In 2003, he became the first non-white legislative leader in New York's history when he was elevated to Minority Leader of the Senate. He made history again in 2004 when he became the first visually impaired person to address the Democratic National Convention and again in 2007 when he became New York's first African- American Lieutenant Governor. As Lieutenant Governor, he led the charge on several crucial issues for New York's future including achieving legislation for stem cell research, working to prevent domestic violence, putting forth a statewide renewable energy strategy and championing the expansion of minority and women owned businesses in New York.

Governor Paterson, who is legally blind, is nationally recognized as a leading advocate for the visually and physically impaired. He is a member of the American Foundation for the Blind and he serves on the Board of the Achilles Track Club. He serves as a member of the Democratic National Committee and as a Chairman of the Coalition of Northeast Governors (CONEG).

Governor Paterson was born May 20, 1954 in Brooklyn, NY to Portia and Basil Paterson, the first non-white Secretary of State in New York and the first African-American Vice-Chair of the National Democratic Party. He earned his bachelor's degree in History from Columbia University in 1977, and completed his J.D. at Hofstra Law School in 1982. He lives with his wife, Michelle Paige Paterson, and their two children, Ashley and Alex. Ashley attends college in Upstate New York and Alex attends public school in New York City.
